Chapter 907: Cannon Fodders
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
Tang Xiu himself was very concerned about the life and death Boss Huang. After all, Li Qiang would follow him soon. Yet, an idea suddenly popped up inside his mind after he found this man wanted to retaliate against him. It was a good idea and it would kill two birds with one stone.
“Nothing will be affected.”
Tang Xiu lit up a cigarette and looked out the window. Then he spoke again, “That Huang guy won’t die, just taught a lesson at most. However, those gangsters under him won’t be as lucky as him.”
Quickly, the Mercedes-Benz was just a few kilometers away from Green Lake Agricola. Jin Shi, who was driving, noticed Mo Awu in the front on the roadside, so he immediately stopped the car on the side of the road.
“Boss, the Green Lake Agricola is now temporarily closed,” respectfully reported Mo Awu to Tang Xiu while standing outside the window.
“How’s the situation in there?” asked Tang Xiu.
“Hidden killing intent, no less,” answered Mo Awu. “Song Donglai, Ao Wei, Gong Quang and 64 experts trained by them are all concealing themselves. While there’s also another kung fu master surnamed Han who came yesterday. This man, added with the Song Donglai trio, adds up to a total of 68 people there. The entirety of the Agricola is in a battle formation. It’s now easy to enter but difficult to come out.”
“Get in the car!” Tang Xiu lightly nodded and said, “Let’s go inside.”
Mo Awu complied and, after he sat shotgun, the Mercedes-Benz Suv drove toward Green Lake Agricola. As they entered the wide road, the entrance of the venue soon came into view, but there was no usual lively scene this time. Even those security guards who were responsible for guard duty were all gone.
Tang Xiu unleashed his spiritual sense right as he got out from the car and covered the surrounding area of 200-plus meters. Within his observation range, he saw tens of stalwart men armed with weapons hiding in hidden corners, including some of them who had noticed their arrival.
‘They carry guns?!’
Tang Xiu didn’t expect that Song Donglai’s men would have guns and some may have sniper rifles. Inside the range of his spiritual sense coverage, there were a total of four snipers hidden in every direction, each with their guns aimed towards the gate.
“Someone is coming, Boss.”
Jin Shi, who followed behind Tang Xiu, suddenly spoke.
Tang Xiu nodded and looked at Song Donglai who came from a nearby location towards his position. He only came alone without his two friends. Not even his men were seen.
“Mr. Tang!” shouted Song Donglai respectfully as he came before Tang Xiu with a smile.
“You have a good arrangement here.” Tang Xiu smiled and said, “This battle array formation is quite interesting.”
“You’re kidding me, Mr. Tang,” said Song Donglai with a forced smile. “It’s all we can do while we know nothing about how many people from the Lian Family will come. If too many of them come here or the ancestor of Lian Family is the one who comes, I’m afraid that we’ll fall into a dire strait. If Mr. Tang is able to, would you…”
Tang Xiu raised his hand to interrupt him and shook his head, “I have no enmity with the Lians; neither do I have any reason to get rid of them. The enmity between you and them are yours to resolve. I only came here to be a witness and will not participate in the fight.”
“Mr. Tang, you…” said Song Donglai said bitterly.
Tang Xiu interrupted him once again and calmly said, “Actually, there will be no advantages for you guys if I act and help you. You guys want to chance upon that opportunity—that is, to be genuine Daoist cultivators—which is something you must rely on yourselves for. If you rely on me and have the Lians dealt with easily, you will lack this sense of tempering. It will lead to problems in your mind’s state later. Your battle with the Lians now is yours to take on.”
State of mind? A battle and struggle with oneself?
Song Donglai faintly realized the notion of what Tang Xiu wanted to express. After being silent for a while, he said, “If so, could you please comply with one request of ours, Mr. Tang? It’s a very simple issue. If we brothers are all killed here today, could send our bones back to our families? Fallen leaves eventually return to their roots, and our families are the final resting place for us to sleep.”
“I give you my word!” Tang Xiu nodded.
Song Donglai gratefully looked at Tang Xiu and suddenly said, “Mr. Tang, if we brothers are all killed in this battle, we’d like you to have this Green Lake Agricola! It’s a token of our gratitude for your word.”
“I can’t.” Tang Xiu shook his head and said, “A man may love riches, but he must obtain them in a proper and just way. If we are enemies, I can kill you and take possession of your property. But I can’t accept your offer. If you guys all die in battle, the Green Lake Agricola will be your Song Family’s industry, no less. Nevertheless, I wish for you to survive. I hope you can snatch that slim chance of survival to enter the Dao through martial arts and become a true cultivator.”
“Donglai will always bear Mr. Tang’s instructions in mind,” said Song Donglai respectfully.
“Although I will not intervene in the issues between both you and them, I don’t mind to have a deal with you on the premise that you can survive and successfully break through the Qi Refining Stage,” said Tang Xiu with a smile.
