The Manta Ray Evil Birds were circling the building with the rhombus-shaped roof, like a plague of locusts. Most of them had come out from the water around the island. They had regrouped on the island after someone had invaded their territory. Not a single drop of water would trickle past them.

Zhu Qi was obviously very familiar with the island. He knew which building to hide in at the emergency outpost that morning to keep the Manta Ray Evil Birds away. He had gathered everyone together in the building.

“Chief, there’s actually a simpler way. We’ll just use these girls as bait. We’re not going to endanger their lives. We’ll just make them suffer a little, like losing a limb or a leg. I bet the other two will show themselves,” Li Dong suggested softly.

“Go ahead and kill us if you’re so capable, or else it’s going to mess up your career,” Tangyue harrumphed coldly. She was clearly not afraid of Chief Zhu Qi.

“Kill you? I’m not a vicious criminal. I just want to do us good. Don’t you forget, I have suffered the greatest loss here. Who’s going to pay for my son’s death? Tangyue, I’m not going to waste my time with you. Call your two friends back, and I will swear on my soul that I’ll bring you all back to safety. However, if you insist on telling everyone about it, I won’t be showing any mercy. We’ll both go down together!” Chief Zhu Qi promised.

“Miss Tangyue, I think the chief is being reasonable here. If we can just stay on good terms and avoid any unnecessary casualties, there’s no need to be fussy about it. Let’s each take a step back and settle the conflict between us. As for something like losing a limb, why should we act like savages when we are all civilized people? Let’s sit down and discuss this peacefully,” Zhao Manyan blurted out.

Losing a limb? Zhao Manyan assumed Zhu Qi and his men would not dare to harm Tangyue since she was one of the Enforcement Union too. As for Jiang Shaoxu and Lingling, it was unlikely Zhu Qi’s men would lay their hands on them for ethical reasons. Therefore, they were definitely going to punish him as a warning to Mo Fan and Mu Bai!

Besides, Zhao Manyan knew even if they broke his legs or cut off his arms, Mo Fan and Mu Bai would not bother showing up. How could he not know what kind of people they were!?

“Chief, things aren’t that complicated, either. It was Zhu Min’s fault that the accident happened to him. We shouldn’t worsen the situation because of it. Mr. Nan already told us to settle the dispute peacefully if possible,” a man with a hint of whiteness in his hair spoke up.

The man was only in his thirties. He had been against Zhu Qi’s plan from the very beginning.

They could not afford to harm Tangyue. If the Lingyin Enforcement Union learned Tangyue was in trouble at the Nanxi Mountain Enforcement Union, those old guys, including Tang Zhong, were going to turn the Nanxi Mountain upside down, regardless of who was responsible for the incident. Besides, there were too many enforcers and senior enforcers here. It was impossible to make sure they would keep their lips sealed. Even the most loyal subordinate might look forward to overthrowing their superior, so they could take over their position.

“We’ll wait here then!” Zhu Qi’s emotions were clearly unstable, mainly because of how horribly his son had died. He was struggling to handle the situation rationally.
