Chapter 419: Last Chance! (1/2)

Three days slowly passed after Bai Xiaofei came back from the meeting with the crown prince before Gu Heng’s summons finally arrived. According to Bai Xiaofei, this was Shang Youdao’s last chance, and it was up to him to grasp it.

Moreover, success would only depend on fate!

After a long morning of communication, Shang Youdao returned with obvious joy and excitement on his face. Bai Xiaofei hadn’t lied to him, this was indeed the one opportunity in which he was most likely to succeed!

Shang Youdao once again gathered the mercenaries, and because Bai Xiaofei’s group was present, no one caused a ruckus this time and everything proceeded in peace. Giving them a large amount of compensation, Shang Youdao announced how he would send them away, which might be the only good news they had heard ever since their arrival at the Bright Road Merchant House.

It was ridiculous to think about. They had come here to help, yet had to receive the hirer’s help to get away safely. This wasn’t just a setback anymore, but a bare slap on all their faces, and a huge one at that. But what could they do? Who would have thought that the Thunderstorm Bandits would be so formidable?

After appeasing everyone, Bai Xiaofei called Qin Lingyan and the others in for a private discussion. From the grave look on his face, everyone knew it was going to be a fierce fight…

“The plan is just like what I said. If we carry it out, our position is absolutely the most dangerous, but this is the only choice we have for this mission.” When Bai Xiaofei finished, he looked at the rest of the group. The response from them was no different from his imagination.

They could risk their lives, but they would not risk Starnet’s reputation!

“That last fight wasn’t satisfying enough. I finally can enjoy it to my heart’s content this time!” Bai Ye waved his fists with expectation on his face.

“Be careful not to be killed and trouble me to have to collect your body.” Qin Lingyan instantly doused cold water over Bai Ye and he fizzled out. The pitiful aura he exuded made everyone burst into laughter.

Relaxing could act as a way to vent stress sometimes…

Early the next morning, all the people who were leaving the Bright Road Merchant House gathered at the city gate. Since the crown prince had passed down his words, their passage was unhindered. Not only so, the crown prince especially asked the Royal Guards to dispatch a team of 100 to escort them.

With uneasy hearts, the large group moved slowly on the road, until they saw Yun Mo and Lan Qu blocking their path.

“Gentlemen, please don’t attack! We really don’t have what you want. All of us are willing to accept your inspection, we just ask you to let us go!” said the leader, who then called out his puppet and threw it aside.

“I’m sure that you two don’t want to have to fight against so many people. They just want to leave. It’s not good for any of us to make a big deal out of this,” said the Royal Guards’ squad captain as he quietly looked at Yun Mo.

This stunned Yun Mo and Lan Qu.

What are they trying to play at? They’re scared

However, this method provided by Bai Xiaofei was admittedly a perfect one. He created a simple two-choice question for Yun Mo: either fight to the death or resolve in peace.

Obviously, anyone with a normal brain would choose the latter. Who knew what would happen when everyone fought with their lives on the line?

After exchanging glances with Lan Qu, Yun Mo summoned the Gate of Good and Evil.

Squatting on the ground, everyone saw Yun Mo’s movements and their hearts tightened. The guards also grew alert and entered a ready-to-fight state.

“You go check, I’ll be ready to back you up at any time,” said Yun Mo.

“Me?!” Lan Qu was dumbstruck.
