C48 (1/2)

In the dimly lit room, the general director knelt in front of a middle-aged man, trembling in fear.

”Sect Master, this time, not only did this subordinate fail to capture the Little Princess, but I also lost a batch of resources. Please punish me, Sect Master.” Gritting his teeth, the general director said in shame.

When he returned to the Ash Wolf Gang, he found Marquis Wu and told him everything. He then volunteered to receive the punishment.

He was well aware of Sect Master's character. If he had the slightest intention to shirk his responsibilities, then he would have lost his life.

”Humph!” With a cold snort, Marquis Wu looked down at the groveling Head Supervisor and said, ”It's one thing if we don't catch Shen Mengqi, but we gave away some of the Sect's goods and materials. We deserve to be punished!”

The silence in the room was frightening. While the Head Supervisor was still in a state of anxiety, he heard Marquis Wu continue to say, ”There's no need for the Nether Moon Domain. Contact the other bandit groups.

”Yes, many thanks Sect Master for his magnanimity. Within ten days, the Nether Moon Domain will definitely be destroyed.” The general director's eyes flickered with hatred as his face contorted slightly.

If it were not for the Nether Moon Domain, he could have easily captured Shen Mengqi and obtained a reward. He definitely would not have been crippled and would have had to suffer the wrath of the Martial Lord.

”Sect Master, do we still need to capture that little princess?” What Marquis Wu had told him made the Head Supervisor heave a sigh of relief. When he thought of Shen Mengqi who had luckily escaped, he could not help but ask.

”Hmph, you still have the nerve to ask? When you go and catch her, the yellow flowers would become cold. I have my own arrangements, and she won't be able to escape from my grasp. Just do what I told you to do! ” Glaring fiercely at the Head Supervisor, Wu Hou said coldly.

”Yes, yes, yes …” This subordinate will take his leave now. ” The general director wanted to give him a slap on the face, hating that he had nothing to say.

Not long after the Head Supervisor left, a man who somewhat resembled Marquis Wu slowly walked in.

”Big brother, why do you insist on capturing Shen Mengqi? It doesn't seem worth it to offend the empire for no reason at all.” Frowning, the man asked in puzzlement.

Seeing the newcomer, Marquis Wu's expression softened and he said softly, ”This is an opportunity for us. ”In the end, our Gray Wolf Gang is just a pawn in the hands of the Spirit Sword Sect. But, what happens if the empire's little princess becomes one of our Martial Families?”

Staring at him, Wu Mu asked in surprise, ”Big brother, are you trying to …”

Wu Hou nodded with a hint of madness in his eyes, ”Even if it's a chess piece, it can still be countered. As long as Zi Han obtains the little princess, we can develop independently in the gap between the empire and the Spirit Sword Sect. ”It's not like he just left when someone told him to.”

”It's just that we have to take a lot of risks.” The Martial Tomb was still somewhat worried.

”How can someone who has achieved great things not take risks?” Martial Marquis's eyes were filled with resolution.

”...”
