Chapter 524: Who Said that He Didn’t Have a Choice?
Out of eight among Sis Hua’s team, seven of them were very anxious.
Not only would they be facing more than seven or eight hundred with guns, but they would also have to face at least five grandmasters. And they did not have to say anything about those in the master levels.
Other than Longfei, the other five of them were at peak master level.
Little Green Snake, Sis Hua, and Yu’s power levels were even lower.
When facing against all of them, there would only be one result. Death!
They had retreated to the office where Jiang Lin was at. Longfei, Feng, and Lei looked for some steel tables and turned them into cover, blocking the office’s surroundings. And then, they stared at the stairwell.
No one would be coming up from the stairwell that Little Green Snake was guarding. The floors down below were all filled with poison and there was no way that they could come up safely.
That was why most of them chose to rush in from the other two stairwells.
Bang! Bang!
When they saw a large group of enemies rus.h.i.+ng in, all eight of them hid behind the cover and fired at the enemies that were rus.h.i.+ng up.
Most of the enemies that were at the front or too weak died by their guns.
When this happened in the game, no one would have too much of a feeling.
But this is the real world. If others were to see the death of so many, their faces would become pale from the shock and run as they soil their pants.
This was a fight amongst the underground factions!
The number of deaths needed to solidify one’s rule was uncountable.
Other than those that had joined in, no one else knew. Even if they knew, they would not speak of it.
That was because they did not want to recall what had happened. Once they did, they would be ruled by fear and affect their conviction to continue their path, and the battle afterward.
Sis Hua and the others had run out of bullets, killing the fifty men that were rus.h.i.+ng in front.
After the initial gunfight, some of them had also been injured. Feng, Yu, Lei, Dian, Little Green Snake, and Little Rat had all been shot. Especially Little Rat who had been shot square on the chest. He had fallen onto the ground, his body twitching. Luckily, he was still trying his best to stay conscious, or else he would have already died.
With the eight of them mostly injured, no one could stop the enemies that were approaching.
After a short while, they had all been surrounded by enemies.
But they did not kill all eight of them, they had only placed them under their control.
A grandmaster elite called Harris from Heaven’s Gate took away the gun from Sis Hua’s hand and said coldly, “You are all dead in our eyes. Do not resist, or you will wish that you are dead!”
Another grandmaster elite from the Crusader Order laughed and said, “Haha, here I was wondering what kind of monster the Animal Arena is. I didn’t expect them to only have one Grandmaster!”
“You’re wrong. The Animal Arena has no grandmaster,” Harris said with a smile and his eyes fell on Longfei. “Beloved Long, why are you still standing there? Come over!”
The moment that Harris’ words rang, other than Sis Hua and Little Rat that were dying, Little Green Snake, Feng, Yu, Lei, and Dian could only look at Longfei with shock.
“I’m sorry, everyone,” Longfei said to the others and walked toward Harris emotionlessly.
“Brother Fei, as the leader of the Twelve Zodiacs, why did you betray us?!” Little Green Snake roared at Longfei angrily with tears in her eyes.
The so-called Twelve Zodiacs were a special team built by Jiang Lin. There were twelve of them, and they were all named according to the Zodiac.
Longfei the Dragon was the leader of the other eleven, and the twelve of them had grown up together. They were a very tight-knit bunch.
Little Green Snake and the others respected Longfei the most.
But they did not expect the big brother that they looked up to would betray them. She could not accept that fact.
“Longfei, among all of us, the boss showed you the most favor. Why did you betray the boss?! Why?!” Lei asked angrily.
Longfei merely responded to Little Green Snake and Lei’s anger with calmness and said, “The boss treats us very well, but I didn’t want this world that we built to be given to a mere child. We have done so much, the Animal Arena should be ours to control, and not that Jiang Feng.”
“If all Jiang Feng wanted was to live in peace, that would be fine. But he is secretly expanding his own influence. I do not want to give the Animal Arena to him in the end, and that was why I worked with Heaven’s Gate!”
Sis Hua said with a sneer, “Longfei, do you think that working with them will allow you to become the master of the Animal Arena?”
Longfei frowned as he looked at Sis Hua. “What do you mean?”
Creak…
At this time, the door to the office opened up and Jiang Lin walked out from within. He then said, “She meant that even if you work with them, you will eventually end up dead regardless!”
“When you are with us, you will still have someone to fall back to, as well as a sphere of influence. Without us, you are alone. No matter how powerful you are, you are merely a low-level grandmaster. Harris, standing next to you, is a mid-level grandmaster. Once we are all gone and the Animal Arena destroyed, do you think you alone can obtain and rebuild it?”
Harris smiled then gave Longfei’s shoulder a good pat and said, “Brother, do not let them brainwash you. Let me put it this way. You will not get the Animal Arena in Chinatown, but we will have you gain control over all the other Animal Arenas back in China. Since having an ally in China is also a good thing for us Heaven’s Gate. Not to mention that we, from Heaven’s Gate, are trustworthy. We always uphold our promises.”
Once Harris said that, Longfei, who was originally hesitating, made the final decision to join Heaven’s Gate.
“I have said what I need to. I will not say anything more. Since you have chosen Heaven’s Gate, remember what I have said. You can kill me, but do not kill any of your own siblings!” Jiang Lin said with a sigh.
Then, a mid-level grandmaster from the Xuanyuan family called Xuanyuan Zhankuang said to Jiang Lin with a smile, “Jiang Lin, give up that thing and the Xuanyuan family will make sure that you will be able to leave this place unharmed. How does that sound?”
That thing?
Harris and the other leaders from the other factions all looked at Xuanyuan Zhankuang.
They knew that the Xuanyuan family was very powerful in China. Much more powerful than them.
They did not know what would make the Xuanyuan family care so much.
Once that thought crossed their minds, their hearts began to beat faster as greed flashed through their eyes.
Jiang Lin looked at Xuanyuan Zhankuang and asked, “Do you think that’s possible?”
Xuanyuan Zhankuang unsheathed a sword from behind him and brutally stabbed into Feng’s stomach and did not even care about his cries of pain, and said, “I believe that it is possible because you do not have a choice!”
Boom!
“Who said he didn’t have a choice?”
As soon as Xuanyuan Zhankuang had finished his speech, a giant hole was opened on the roof of the building and a voice came down from above. In the next second, they then saw a green-colored claw covered with green scales crash near them.
