Chapter 1472: Abandoning The Car To Protect The General
“This… How is this possible?” “No…”
“What’s the matter?”
When he saw Captain Don’t Open Fire’s response, Big Bear blurted this question.
Captain Don’t Open Fire shot a look toward Meng Xi. He said softly, “Quan Zhen Sect members have captured the Sacred Hall Squad…”
“What!!”
When he heard this, Big Bear Deng Deng An barely held himself back from jumping up as his eyes were filled with terror.
Sacred Hall Squad was a well-known existence in the international gaming circle. Big Bear Deng Deng An had experienced their strength and power firsthand. In front of their power, Quan Zhen Sect was weaker than baby chicks. They’d be rounded up in three out of five moves, with two moves to spare. They even managed to capture w.a.n.g Yu at the start. How did they turn the tables?
The only difference from the previous night was Iron Bull’s presence. He managed to overturn the situation alone. Was he that strong? That’d be on the level of an international expert.
“Do they have someone helping them on their side?” Big Bear Deng Deng An asked in confusion.
Big Bear’s confusion was understandable.
No matter how strong Quan Zhen Sect was, they were nothing more than a team of sc.r.a.ps. Even if they managed to take the champions.h.i.+p t.i.tle of the National Professional League, it would be because of luck.
Sacred Hall Squad was a well-known top-tier expert… Their abilities weren’t up at the level of the International sphere.
Even though only six people came from Sacred Hall Squad, they were only half of them. However, they were still world-cla.s.s experts. If Quan Zhen Sect was able to fend them off, it was like saying an ADC casually killed an UZI; it was absolutely ridiculous.
“I’m not sure…” Captain Don’t Open Fire shook his head, “Anyway, I heard that Sacred Hall Squad’s members have been trapped at the resurrection point. Our secret a.s.sa.s.sination mission has failed… What do we do now…”
“This… I…” Big Bear stuttered as his face revealed regret.
Big Bear really wanted to give his past self a huge slap. Why did he have to interfere? If he knew that world-cla.s.s experts were so unreliable, he would have continued drinking. Now that the entire Sacred Hall Squad was trapped, if he had to give Void Blade up, how would Void Blade continue?
If Sacred Hall Squad were Chinese players, it would be fine. Void Blade would just suffer the reputation of a single betrayal failure.
However, Sacred Hall Squad were European players. This had turned into an international problem, where he hired foreigners to betray his players… It wasn’t the same.
With Fearless’ shamelessness, he would turn this place around completely.
If word got out, Captain Don’t Open Fire would suffer a backlash. Not only would he be unable to raise his head in the local server, the players from his squad would ostracise him too.
“This won’t do; I’ll just sell you out… When the time is right, I’ll give you a raise…”
Captain Don’t Open Fire was the boss after all. He was decisive, choosing to abandon his p.a.w.n to save his squad.
Big Bear continued nervously, “Brother, quit joking. This isn’t about money… Should we find a temporary person?” It seemed like Big Bear was more concerned about his reputation than the money. At the very least, he cared about his pride.
That was logical. If he chose not to save his pride, he didn’t have to offend the Quan Zhen Sect either…
Just as the two were at a loss, Meng Xi stood up all of a sudden.
Captain and Big Bear were shocked. They asked quickly, “Lady Meng Xi, where are you going?”
Meng Xi replied matter-of-factly, “They’re looking for me now. I need to go…”
When Meng Xi said this, they stood up immediately and said, “Lady Meng Xi, I’m not sure if I should say this.”
“Speak your mind!” Meng Xi responded casually.
“That…” Big Bear hesitantly said, “I want to say something about the Quan Zhen Sect.”
“Oh? What is it?”
Big Bear Deng Deng An continued, “The one who wishes to make a deal with you is Sanguine Rain. However, it doesn’t mean that our Void Blade is willing to. Sacred Hall Squad were deployed to a.s.sa.s.sinate Quan Zhen Sect… but that’s none of our business either. I think we have to make this clear, otherwise…”
What did it mean to be sly? What did it mean to be shameless?
Big Bear Deng Deng An was the epitome of these descriptions.
When he had the upper hand, he would chase after them emphatically from the distance. When the situation was bad, he would s.h.i.+rk all responsibilities, ensuring he had no part of it. Captain Don’t Open Fire chose to toss their vigilante squad aside. On the other hand, Big Bear pulled the same trick. Everything was a complete mess.
“Alright, I get it!”
Meng Xi waved his hands as he intercepted Big Bear’s words. “Do you mean you want to terminate our alliance?”
“It’s not our, but yours and Sanguine Rain!” Big Bear corrected.
“Alright!”
When he heard Big Bear’s words, Meng Xi’s heart wasn’t shaken at all. Instead, she felt the urge to laugh.
At first, Meng Xi trusted Sanguine Rain and felt that Quan Zhen Sect was hard to deal with. That was why she wanted to borrow Void Blade’s power to deal with them.
However, after their alliance, they realized that these b*st*rds didn’t even dare to show their faces. All they did was leave Sacred Hall Squad guessing.
She did all the work but dealt with all the consequences. She allowed an unrelated person to receive all the benefits…
Meng Xi wasn’t really obsessed with revenge either. She wanted to terminate her alliance with Void Blade long ago. However, in view of her contractual integrity and the fact that Quan Zhen Sect’s people hadn’t been captured yet, she didn’t bring this matter up first.
This was the perfect chance. Quan Zhen Sect were already captured by Sacred Hall Squad as livestock! Void Blade even requested to terminate their partners.h.i.+p at once. Why wouldn’t Meng Xi be upset?
“You… you’ve agreed?”
Seeing Meng Xi’s carefree response, Big Bear couldn’t believe his ears for a comment.
“Yep!” Meng Xi nodded, “My father has taught me that a superficial thumbs-up isn’t enough to make a plan.”
“F*ck…”
Big Bear’s old face turned red, “Then, on account of us helping you and providing with Quan Zhen Sect’s whereabouts, please forget about any meetings we’ve had… how’s that?”
“Oh? What do you mean?”
Meng Xi asked confusedly.
“Not much…” Big Bear continued, “Even if you tell everyone, we won’t admit it. Anyway, they’ll just be empty words. Quan Zhen Sect can’t do a thing to us.”
“Hmph!” Watching Big Bear’s reaction, Meng Xi grunted coldly, “Yours truly was willing to form an alliance with trash. I’ll make sure n.o.body will find out I’ve met you before!”
Meng Xi returned to Void Blade’s office without turning back.
“She… can she really keep a secret?” Big Bear felt a little dazed as he watched Meng Xi’s silhouette disappear.
“I think she can.” Captain Don’t Open Fire continued, “Stop talking about her. With your shameless behavior from before, even I think it’s embarra.s.sing…”
“d.a.m.n!” Big Bear raged, “I’m tossing them aside on your behalf… do you want me to call her back?”
“I got it, I got it. Don’t be anxious…” Captain comforted Big Bear at once.
