Chapter 992: Dealing With The Aftermath

Zuo Daquan grabbed the binoculars and aimed at the direction pointed by his subordinate as shock yet again immediately covered his face. The continuous arrival of groups of people to this place tonight was just a surprise. And now, another group with so many people came again. Could it be that they also wanted to join in the fray?
“Are they Tang Xiu’s men, or Singkuo’s?”
“Take a look at the limo in the middle, Boss,” added the middle-aged man. “It looks like Kanaja’s car!”
The dull look fleeted on Zuo Daquan’s face as it was replaced with incredulity. He spoke out, “You’re right. That must be Kanaja’s since he’s the only one who has this type of limousine in Bangkok. But what is he coming here for? There’s no way he’ll be able to join this kind of battle given his resources and ability.”
“Could it be that he’s come here for us and not because of those people?” asked the middle-aged man again.
The notion made Zuo Daquan frown deeply. He carefully gave it some thought for two minutes before he shook his head, saying, “It’s unlikely. The debt deadline is not due yet, and he won’t trouble us as he has yet to get the money back. There’s no reason for him to come to me at this time. My guess is he must’ve been involved with those who just battled, but not Tang Xiu I think.”
“Why’s that?” asked the middle-aged man, confused.
“Tang Xiu wouldn’t have come to our place to stay here after he entered Bangkok illegally in secret if he had a deep friendship with Kanaja. That’s why,” said Zuo Daquan. “Kanaja is a definite leader of Bangkok’s underground forces. The places he has for such purposes may be more covert and safer than ours.”
At the coconut plantation entrance.
After more than ten cars slowly stopped and parked, Kanaja got out from the limo in the middle of the convoy. As he walked to the interior of the estate and saw the scene in the surroundings, a stunned look covered his face and disbelief overflowed in his eyes.
“God! This place was fine when I came here yesterday. How can it be in such ruin now? It’s like… some terrorist organization just attacked this place? But even if they used bombs, it’s just impossible to be this ruined!” a black-suited big man with a scar on his face exclaimed in horror and shock.
Kanaja knitted his brows and asked in a deep voice, “You mean this place was still fine yesterday and became like this today?”
“Yeah.” The man nodded and said, “It was just fine yesterday and now has turned into ruin.”
Eyes gleaming, Kanaja realized that it must be the outcome of the battle between Tang Xiu and Singkuo’s group which had ruined Zuo Daquan’s site. He already knew that Tang Xiu’s side was very strong, while Singkuo’s side contained all the Dark Shaman Clan’s practitioners who also had similarly powerful strength. But the scene made it obvious that their power was far from what he had imagined.
However, with this place destroyed, what about the outcome of their battle? Who ended up the victor? Tang Xiu and Singluen, or Singkuo?
Whoosh…
A figure flashed and appeared in front of Kanaja and his men. The man didn’t even flinch upon having guns trained at him and just asked in a deep voice, saying, “Who’s Kanaja?”
Kanaja raised his hand to stop his men. He paced forward and said, “I am Kanaja. May I know who you’re, Mister?”
The black-robed young man with the magic staff said in a deep voice, “I’m Young Master Singluen’s subordinate. He and Mr. Tang are currently after Singkuo and some other enemies with the rest. Mr. Tang ordered me to wait for you here to pass his message. He said he needs your assistance.”
Chasing enemies?!
In an instant, Kanaja knew that Tang Xiu must have won the battle against Singkuo. He then put on a bit of respectful expression and asked, “And exactly what assistance could I offer Mr. Tang?”
“He said that the battle with Singkuo’s side has ruined this place, something that can’t be justified. He hopes that Mr. Kanaja can help in dealing with the aftermath,” said the youth. “He’d like Mr. Kan to explain this incident to Zuo Daquan, cremate all the dead bodies, and rebuild this coconut plantation. He’ll reimburse the rebuilding cost.”
Only then did Kanaja understand Tang Xiu’s intention. His smile grew wider, and he crisply replied, “Please tell Mr. Tang that I have a little friendship with this coconut plantation’s owner, so Zuo Daquan will naturally give me face. I’ll assign some men to deal with these dead bodies, but there’s no need for Mr. Tang to reimburse the reconstruction cost for the plantation. It will be a gift for his victory.”
“If so, then I’ll pass your message to Mr. Tang. I will trouble you with all that.” The youth nodded and said, “Anyway, I still need to gather with the rest, so I shall take my leave.”
Kanaja nodded and watched the youth leave quickly. His smile turned much wider, and he eventually let out a loud laugh, saying, “This is great! Very great! Men, get your ass moving and work! Clean up all the dead bodies here and leave no trace!”
With that said, he took out his cell phone and searched for Zuo Daquan’s number before dialing it.
A few kilometers away, atop the tens of meters high water tower, Zuo Daquan was still observing Kanaja through binoculars as he heard his mobile phone in the pocket suddenly ring.
