The voice of the person on the other end of the line sounded strained and tense. “The people leading the pack are Brahma’s trusted aides!”
Jiangsui pressed his lips into a grim line as he gripped his phone tightly. “What’s the situation now?”
“We suffered heavy casualties. I managed to escape with our remaining men, but we still can’t get in touch with the other sides. I doubt things are any better on their ends.” The subordinate spoke angrily through clenched teeth. None of them had expected to be betrayed by their own people, so they were all boiling mad now. The subordinate clenched his fists at the thought of the heavy casualties. “What should we do now?”
“Keep in touch with the others. I’ll send more people to rescue you guys.” Jiangsui suppressed his anger as he said this. He wanted to go upstairs to look for Gu Mang the moment he ended the call, but as soon as he turned around, he saw Lu Chengzhou coming out of the kitchen looking frosty. Apparently, the latter had received the news too. Due to the urgency of the current situation, Jiangsui couldn’t care to explain things to him and headed upstairs straight away.
“Hold it right there,” ordered Lu Chengzhou coldly.
Jiangsui stopped and turned to look at him.
Lu Chengzhou walked over, his eyes dark and frosty. “I’ve already sent my men over. Don’t disturb her.”
When he first heard the news of Brahma’s betrayal, he had also thought that he had heard wrong. Even though Gu Mang had said that she didn’t have much interaction with Brahma and wasn’t as close to him as she was with Responsive Dragon and the others, her respect for him had grown after he helped her out at Base 102 that day. Thus, she had been helping him out with plenty of things recently. It has barely been a few days since then, yet he stabbed her so hard in the back. Gu Mang values friendship dearly. If she knows about this…
Although Jiangsui understood what Lu Chengzhou meant, he looked upstairs worriedly. “But… she’ll find out about this sooner or later.”
Lu Chengzhou pursed his lips, his voice glacial when he spoke again. “Go inform Shadow League about this and don’t tell Gu Mang until we’ve resolved this matter.”
Jiangsui froze in shock. “How do you know that we’re related to Shadow—”
Before he could finish saying his piece, Lu Chengzhou’s rang. He kept quiet as the latter took out his phone and answered the call.
“Brother Cheng, Brahma joined forces with a few mafia forces. They’re now blocking us at all entry points on Mingyu Island,” said He Yidu gravely as soon as the call connected.
After Brahma got 20% of Red Flame’s territory, he gathered the rabble together, which became a force to be reckoned with. While He Yidu and Qin Fang weren’t afraid of clashing with them, they simply didn’t have the time for this as they were in a hurry to save Gu Mang’s men.
Hearing this, Lu Chengzhou narrowed his eyes murderously.
“How should I deal with this?” asked He Yidu.
“They’ve got a death wish, huh?” Lu Chengzhou’s lips curled into a wicked smirk. In a soft and slow manner, he said, “Leave no one alive.”
He Yidu grimly answered, “Understood.”
…
Meanwhile.
Brahma was listening to his subordinate’s report.
“We caught them off-guard, so we didn’t suffer many losses,” said the subordinate. “The Fifth Master…”
Brahma squinted at him.
The subordinate hurriedly lowered his head and changed his form of address. “As for God Ji’s remaining forces… Our men are already on it.”
Brahma laughed and looked at the teacup in his hand. “Not bad. Make sure you kill them all.”
“Yes,” replied the subordinate respectfully before turning around to take his leave.. Just as he reached the doorway, he saw Mysterious Crane, Flying Serpent, and Responsive Dragon walking over with dark expressions.
