To Qin Wushuang’s expectation, during this whole time, that General Manager Su had been healing his wounds in a secret place. After he had come out, he only learned that the team led by Commander Chen Sen had suffered a total annihilation.
In other words, he was the sole survivor. However, what he had just seen a moment ago caused a layer of doubt to emerge in his doubtful mind.

These Wu siblings did not much strength. At that time, the enemies that had launched a sneak attack on the Duck Beak Mountain also killed everyone on my team. How could these Wu siblings not have suffered any damage and still appear to be alive and well?
This General Manager Su was full of questions.
His internal injuries had just healed recently. Initially, he was planning to pay a visit to his friend who lived in this Orderly Mountain capital city.
In a moment, he had arrived at the home of the person he was visiting. Although this was a small manor, it had been built exquisitely. To own such a manor in this extremely expensive Orderly Mountain capital city, it showed that the owner had led a good life.
Since this was not General Manager Su’s territory, he had exhibited carefulness with each of his movements. He was even courteous to the gatekeeper as he handed his invitation.
That gatekeeper did not dare to neglect when he saw General Manager Su’s refined manner and that he had come to meet with his master. He led him in and after a moment of waiting in the yard, a straightforward laugh came from the hallway:
Ha ha, Senior Su, what brings you here today?

General Manager Su was also brimming with joy when he heard this voice:
Senior Dong, I had come in a hurry. Please forgive me for not bringing any generous gifts.

A middle-aged man walked out from within. Despite his short and undersized figure, his face appeared to be dauntless and full of intelligence. He hugged General Manager Su right away:
This way inside, please.

After the host and the guest had sat down, the tea was served.

Senior Su, I was deeply nervous for you when I heard that you got involved in the muddy waters of the Hundred Leaf Qin Clan. I heard that Chen Sen’s team was annihilated totally, I thought you…


God bless that the two of us can still meet with each other.

This middle-aged man’s surname is Dong and he was called Dong Xiong. He had known General Manager Su since they were teenagers. They had once made their way into the world together, killing enemies, sharing the trials and tribulations, life and death. Thus, their relationship was more than just mere friendship. It was why Dong Xiong did not try to hide what he wanted to say.
General Manager Su gave a light sigh. Indeed, he still had lingering fear when he talked about the old matter regarding the Hundred Leaf Qin Clan. He still felt dreadful thinking back on it.
He had not regained his calmness from the terrifying shock that the battle had given him. Before the battle, they had made all kinds of preparation. Regardless of whatever angle, the side of Commander Chen thought they would gain a total victory. However, the results was the complete opposite.

Senior Dong, not to hide from you. I did participate in that battle. And, it’s true that I was almost not able to see you again. That battle… Ah!

General Manager Su sighed deeply. This time, he had come to the Orderly Mountain prefecture to evade matters and stay as far away from the Hundred Leaf Qin Clan as possible. It was to avoid having him, this fish that escaped the net, become the target of the Qin Clan. To put it bluntly, he was a dog that had lost his home.
He would not dare to live in that area. After all, when the Hundred Leaf Qin Clan had regained their momentum, they would know about this escaped fish. For sure, they would chase after him to kill him by all means.
Because of this, he had travelled all the way up north and planned to hide in faraway places.

Senior Su, between us, don’t hold back. Is it because you can no longer stay in that area?
Dong Xiong asked.

The Hundred Leaf Qin Clan knows about me, the fish that had escaped the net. They have already started to look for me all over the place. I cannot stay at places such as the Black Raven royal city, Yellow Wind royal city, and the territories associated with them. The best method is to get as far away as possible. I passed by this time to visit you, to let you know that I am going to avoid this disaster by heading to the north. It will not be easy for us to meet again in the future. I don’t have many friends that I found worth holding on to, you are one…

These words had rather stirred the emotion inside Dong Xiong’s heart. He could not help but think back on the times they had fought together when they were young.

Senior Su, say, why are you doing this? The Hundred Leaf Qin Clan is a branch of the Heavenly Emperor Qin Clan! Although the Heavenly Emperor Qin Clan has lost their influence, they still possess their power and foundation. Aren’t you creating trouble for yourself by initiating the conflict? You have been smart your whole life, know how to scheme, why did you become involved this time?

General Manager Su twitched his mouth and showed a face full of bitterness. He raised his head and said:
Senior Dong, with our talent and potential, do you think that in our lifetime, we can still achieve a breakthrough?

Dong Xiong gave a long sigh:
This is extremely difficult. We know everything about each other, being brothers for years. Regardless of you or me, the chance to break into the Profound Void Martial Stage is one percent.


That’s right.
General Manager Su nodded,
I committed this heinous crime to offend the world, and became involved in the attack on the Hundred Leaf Qin Clan for my own personal reasons. I also pondered that in my lifetime, without any special fortuitous opportunities, without any stimulations from the outside world, there is not a trace of possibility of entering the Profound Void Martial Stage. However, the Hundred Leaf Qin Clan is different. As long as I could enter the mines of that clan, there are countless treasures, countless fortuitous opportunities…

When he spoke up to this point, that fanatical light in the eyes of General Manager Su still appeared extremely passionate.
The Hundred Leaf Qin Clan had wealth equivalent to that of an entire nation. It would be unbelievable to say the outside world had not cast an eye toward their wealth. Even the Prefecture Lord of the Orderly Mountain prefecture was jealous when he talked about the Hundred Leaf Qin Clan.
Naturally, the power of the Prefecture Lord surpassed anyone at the Hundred Leaf Qin Clan. The martial force and energy were of course, stronger than the Hundred Leaf Qin Clan.
However, regarding wealth, even the Prefecture Lord had to step down gracefully.
Dong Xiong said:
Senior Su, what you said is the truth. However, you must know that those wealth, those fortuitous opportunities are all private properties of the Heavenly Emperor Mountain. Lusting after them, it is the same as stealing food from the tiger’s mouth. In fact, it was proven that the Hundred Leaf Qin Clan was not as weak as you had thought.

The muscle on General Manager Su’s face trembled lightly:
The Hundred Leaf Qin Clan had… hidden too much of their power. If I were given another chance, I will not be moved even if the Hundred Leaf Qin Clan is ten times more illustrated. For that battle, if I hadn’t ran away fast enough, I am afraid I would not have survived.


You were lucky enough. Everyone knows that the freelance martial artists organized by Chen Sen had died. None of them remain alive.

When Dong Xiong said up to this point, he also looked at General Manager Su with a bitter smile:
I also thought you were killed.

Yet, General Manager Su frowned slightly as he could not help but ask:
Senior Dong, did the outside world truly spread the rumors that all of us had been annihilated?


Yes, according to everyone’s guesses, in fact, there might not be any fishes that had escaped the net. You are truly a surprise!

General Manager Su shook his head lightly:
That’s not right. Regarding a total annihilation, even excluding myself, this statement does not stand. I know that there are other survivors who had participated. And there is more than one!

Dong Xiong was extremely surprised as he said stutteringly:
Impossible! How many people had participated in total?


The total is eighty-five people. I remember this clearly. Each general Manager had a team of twenty people. Four General Managers would have eighty people. Then, there were the five in Chen Sen’s team.


Senior Dong, before I had come to you, I had encountered a strange matter. Please fill your cup.

Seeing him becoming serious about the matter, Dong Xiong could not help to ask:
What is the matter?


This matter is also related to those who had participated in the attack to the Hundred Leaf Qin Clan…
General Manager Su immediately explained the details about the entire story of Qin Wushuang and his two friends signing up and how he had encountered them on the streets.

Senior Dong, regarding those three brothers, I had my suspicion from earlier. However, since time was limited and Chen Sen had given me little time, there was no time to verify their identities. I only remembered that these three brothers had said that they were from the Giant Gobi. Their surname is Wu.

After Dong Xiong had heard the story, he also found it somewhat strange. While nodding, he said thoughtfully:
It would had been reasonable if one of the three brothers had survived. According to what you have described, you guys were in a grave situation in that battle. In relation to the news afterwards, there is only one survivor after the Duck Beak Mountain. Naturally, that survivor is you. Then, how did the Wu siblings survive?


This is exactly the point I was suspicious about. Their strength is not among the peak, one can even say that it was below average.

General Manager Su worked hard to recall the little details:
In my memory, the boss of the Wu siblings was extremely calm. He was quick at reacting and not one drop of water could leak out.


Senior Su, are you suspicious that they are not some freelance martial artists, but undercover agents sent by the Hundred Leaf Qin Clan?
When he said here, Dong Xiong waved his hand and said with a decisive tone:
Let me give you an advice. Regardless of whether those three are undercover agents from the Hundred Leaf Qin Clan, this matter stops here. Don’t dream about some million crystal reward. Those are all unrealistic. You had barely escaped last time, could it be that you planned to get involved in this messy matter again?

The expression of General Manager Su was extremely strange as he neither said yes or no. He frowned as if he was deeply thinking about something.
After a moment, suddenly, General Manager Su slapped his thigh:
No, no. Senior Dong, I think something is wrong here.


What is wrong?

Suddenly, General Manager Su asked with a laugh:
Senior Dong, in the past two days, what sort of lively activity had been happening? Think about it.


Lively matter?
Dong Xiong thought for a moment,
Regarding a lively activity, of course it would be Lord of the Floating Snow House visiting the Orderly Mountain prefecture…


What else? Wouldn’t the killing at the Freelance Martial Artist Union count?


Ha ha, it was only a non-mainstream freelance martial artist getting killed. It’s not worth mentioning.


That freelance martial artist is not worth mentioning. However, the comments made by that freelance martial artist is worth thinking about. Because of his words, the Lord of the Floating Snow House issued a one hundred thousand gold crystal stone rewards and in relation to that mission from the Heavenly Luo Daoist sect. A name had been mentioned in all of this…


Qin Wushuang, right?
Dong Xiong twirled his beard and laughed:
The world has changed, now a young man from the human countries is able to cause a total uproar in a prefecture in the Xuan Yuan Mound?
