This entire thing about saving Kamarupa will only bring a profit.
Their fight is only profiting us.
As per 10 rings, they are considered a threat even to our own country. So dealing with them in this scenario brings us only profit." Aves told Sandersonia.

Sandersonia vs Xu Wenwu
// 1914, Kamarupa, India //
Xu Wenwu landed in a private airplane in the temporary airbase of 10 rings branch in Kamarupa, India. Throughout the years of conquest, Xu Wenwu had spread his influence over a vast land. Obviously North East India was not out of his reach. So when he got the news that a gold mine was discovered in that region, Xu Wenwu naturally wanted his rightful wealth. Even though the region was now called Kamarupa and was part of the United States of India, the correct politicians were more than easy to deal with.
He had thought that he would easily control the entire mine and take all the gold away before the government could find it. But the information got leaked. As a result, he had to spend a lot of manpower to stabilize the region and keep his stronghold. Unfortunately a week ago he was again informed that Amazon Lily had agreed to help India in taking military actions against the armed militant terrorists of Kamarupa. In normal circumstances, Xu Wenwu would never have thought about coming to deal with such a mess. His men were more than enough to deal with the military. Especially when Japan was already getting involved with China, Xu had no time to waste in India.
But then he got a proposal from the local politician. He wanted to separate Kamarupa from the United States of India and wanted to make it an independent country. He was willing to hand it over to 10 rings entirely as long as he got to enjoy the riches of the region.
With the increasing conflict with Britain and China and the increase in use of modern weapons, Xu Wenwu understood the necessity of the gold that would be used to buy more weapons to arm his own Army. After all, he is the only one who has the 10 rings. That's why he agreed with the plan of the local politician and made his own secret plan to take over the North East region of India. With everything settled, he left the headquarters and came to Kamarupa.
"My lord!"
"How are the preparations going? Tell me everything about our enemy and their numbers." Xu Wenwu dismissed the pleasantries and went straight to the topic.
"My lord, our people are ready. Everything regarding your plan has been arranged smoothly. The governor in chief has prepared 40000 men for us. Tomorrow, at 10 o'clock, he will introduce you as the new leader of Kamarupa. There you will declare Kamrupa as an independent country. Soon after we will kill the governor in chief disguised as Indian soldiers. After that we will declare war on India."
"Hmmmmm… there is something that I found out in this situation." Xu Wenwu stopped walking as he heard the plan of his assistant.
"I don't understand, my lord." The assistant asked with a face full of confusion.
Unfortunately his acting was not good enough to fool a man who had lived over a thousand years. Xu Wenwu immediately caught the small twitch of his face muscles. It was a child's play for him.
"Is that so ?" Xu Wenwu immediately charged up the 10 rings on his forearms to end the game.
But at that moment…
*Bang*
A loud explosion followed by a massive shockwave rocked the hill where the Ten Rings secret base was located. The shock wave was so powerful that it sent away Xu flying in the air. But the man was not an amateur. He immediately used his 10 rings to stabilize himself and land perfectly on his feet. Being a master of martial arts, the little wind and sound was not enough to take him down.
The explosion had happened in the area where the majority of their fighters were staying. And due to its surprise effect it had taken down quite a lot of them. Xu Wenwu became extremely angry, when he saw the destruction below.
One of him 10 rings pierced through the heart of his assistant who had just betrayed him even before the guy code understand what was going on.
Wenwu didn't have the time to bother with the betrayers as he had more important matters to deal with.
But before he could march at the place where the explosion occurred, a voice stopped him in his tracks.
"Mandrin…or should I call you Xu Wenwu…"
…
"Mandrin…or should I call you Xu Wenwu…"
Sandersonia looked at the man who was releasing killing intent on par with Logan, ready to march towards the place where the explosion went off. It was hard for Sandersonia to believe that the man was older than her mother. Hancock was the oldest being she knew. And yet when Hancock called her privately to tell her about all the older beings in the world, Sandersonia couldn't believe it. But she accepted it anyway considering it was coming from her mother.
She looked at the man cautiously. The man himself was not dangerous in terms of pure strength. All he had was the thousands of years of experience in martial arts and life itself. But when such a prowess is combined with the powers of the 10 rings it becomes extremely dangerous. According to Hancock, Xu Wenwu shouldn't be able to use the full powers of the Rings. But she was warned to not underestimate him in any situation as those rings have powers even beyond the comprehension of her own.
While Sandersonia was a good girl most of the time, she had a own pride. And she wanted to defeat Xu Wenwu on her own and prove that she was strong to Hancock.
It was the main reason why she had sent Logan away on a false trail and had come to fight Wenwu on her own.
