Super Soldier

Now the death of Su Peiya was gradually revealed, and currently, Blood Wolf seemed to be the murderer. But Xiao Bing still could not believe it. He decided to question Blood Wolf when he restored his strength.

And the one who was shaking hands with Blood Wolf in the picture was 80 percent likely to be Mr. Buddha, one of the two renowned young masters. Xiao Bing always wanted to know who was stronger. But if Blood Wolf had truly aligned with him, Xiao Bing had to come up with a flawless plan, even if he restored his power.

There were many people Xiao Bing needed to care about now. He was not the lone wolf he used to be anymore. So he had to think of a perfect plan to kill his enemy with a single blow. It was not cowardly because he needed to be sure that the ones he loved wouldn"t be involved.

Yezi finally was pacified after Xiao Bing told her a great number of words of love. The two had a discussion and made a rough plan—help Master Hou destroy the Long family first, and then ask Master Hou to protect his family and friends. Xiao Bing decided to return to the Dragon Gate after his strength was restored and a.s.semble his men to capture Blood Wolf to interrogate him. If Blood Wolf"s treachery was proved to be true, Xiao Bing would kill this traitor first and confront Mr. Buddha by using the Dragon Gate"s force.

No one knew what would happen during his revenge. Now Xiao Bing"s priority was to weather the storm first. The Long family would start a strike at any time. Xiao Bing calmed himself down and decided to put his vengeance aside because he had not restored his power yet.

Su Xiaoxiao could not hold back any longer. She went to the Ye family"s house with Lil Bei, who was also greatly concerned about this. They gathered in the study, and then Xiao Bing briefly told them about what he knew.

Su Xiaoxiao clenched his fists tightly, and even the calm Lil Bei could not help standing up with coldness on his face. There was a hint of killing intention in his eyes. “Captain, since we already know who set that trap, then what are we waiting for? We should kill this Blood Wolf!”

Xiao Bing shook his head and looked at Lil Bei sternly. “Who is able to kill Blood Wolf? You?”

Lil Bei blurted out, “But Brother Bing, you can…”

Lil Bei suddenly recalled that the power in Xiao Bing"s body was still sealed, so he sighed and stopped talking.

“Blood Wolf is quite a powerful man. I could only beat him at the jaws of defeat even when I was in my prime. I was confident that my strength was powerful enough to constrain Blood Wolf. I didn"t want to see another talent fall, so I didn"t kill him. Instead, I took him in and I even turned against the Dragon Teeth for him. But now my power is sealed…

“There are still two months before my power can be unsealed. Now the Long family is our biggest enemy. If they win, I"m afraid that the people around me will all be involved, according to what I know about Long Yan. He"s a vengeful man. After we"re done with the Long family, I will make the ones who had done harm to Peiya pay for their sins.”

Su Xiaoxiao"s face turned icy. Ye Xiaoxi held this girl by the hand and said, “Xiaoxiao, actually Brother Bing has always been concerned about your sister"s misfortune. He even did not sleep last night. But what he just said is right. If the Long family win, they will definitely not make things easy for us. And perhaps even auntie will be involved. “Besides which, Brother Bing"s strength has not restored yet, which means that we can"t avenge your sister now. Why can"t we wait a little bit longer? Why should we risk our lives when we can beat our enemy with a single blow?”

Su Xiaoxiao was not a foolish girl. She just cared so much about her sister"s death and was eager to avenge her sister, so she didn"t think it through rationally. She regained her composure after she listened to what Ye Xiaoxi just said. Su Xiaoxiao nodded and sighed. “You"re right. Since we already have the evidence, then you have to avenge her. Be careful though. I believe that my sister didn"t want anything to happen to you if she was alive, and I don"t want Yezi to lose another person she holds dear.”

Xiao Bing felt vastly relieved when he saw that Su Xiaoxiao seemed to understand his intention. “I a.s.sure you that I shall avenge your sister. Lil Bei, you need to calm down as well. Just make sure that Xiaoxiao can always be safe, you don"t need to do anything else. When we"re done with the Long family, you should go back to the army and I will go back to the Dragon Gate to bring Blood Wolf to justice.”

“I"ll go with you!” said Lil Bei gravely. “I"ll avenge Peiya myself!”

Lil Bei had always treated Xiao Bing as his brother and Su Peiya as his sister-in-law. Though Xiao Bing and Su Peiya were never man and wife, Lil Bei still regarded this woman as a family member. Xiao Bing didn"t refuse his request because he could understand the hate Lil Bei had for the murderer.

Soon after, the two both seemed calm and Xiao Bing asked them to stay and talk with Ye Xiaoxi while he went the Master Hou"s mansion alone. He had a private meeting with Master Hou and no one knew what they had talked about. However, when they went out of the study, they found Mu Tingchuan running upstairs. “Master Hou… the Long family has made the first move,” said Mu Tingchuan, panting.

Master Hou"s face instantly changed, but his voice still sounded as calm as usual. “Tingchuan, don"t hurry. Let"s have a discussion downstairs.”

“Okay.”

The three went down to the living room. Then Master Hou asked the servant to bring Mu Tingchuan a cup of tea. When seeing his breath returning to normal, Master Hou asked, “Tingchuan, tell me what happened.”

“The mogul of H City, Zhuang Zhixian, has already conquered the underground worlds of D City and Yilin City.”

“Already?” Master Hou gasped. “By his own force?”

“Of course not. Though Zhuang Zhixian claimed that he would unite the underground worlds of Hei Province, he is just a puppet on the Long family"s string. And many of the masters he sent are from Long family. He did it within half a day, and most of the cities in Hei Province have not received this news.”

Master Hou snorted, “If they think that the underground world of Hei Province could be united by a puppet, then they must have greatly underestimated me. As long as I"m still in control of my territory, they still can"t call it a victory, even if they have conquered all of the undergrounds of other cities. Tingchuan, call all of the moguls in other cities in Hei Province and tell them this news.”

666 Mu Tingchuan said, “I already did that, and without your consent, I have sent a group of masters of martial arts to help the cities that could easily fall into the enemy"s hands.”

“Tell them to come back,” Master Hou commanded.

Mu Tingchuan was taken aback for a moment. He asked, “Master Hou, you want them to retreat?”

Master Hou answered him in a calm voice, “Tell them to come back.”

“Well…” Mu Tingchuan asked in vast disbelief, “Master Hou, if the underground worlds of other cities fall into our enemy"s hands, then the Long family would possess 90 percent of the three provinces in the north. I"m afraid that by then the odds will favor them.”

“Have you ever heard this idiom—one should burn all bridges if he seeks victory?”

Mu Tingchuan frowned. “Now the Long family"s momentum is at a prime and the number of his men is several times greater than ours, so is the range of their territory and their morale. If we let them conquer other cities without doing anything, I"m afraid that by then they will be unstoppable when there are few cities left. And our men will definitely lose morale by that time. It"ll nearly be impossible for us to win.”

Master Hou eyed Mu Tingchuan and said in a tone that would brook no argument, “Just obey my order and tell them to come back.”

“Master Hou…” Having noticed the sternness in his lord"s eyes, Mu Tingchuan sighed, knowing that Master Hou"s decision could not be changed. He had to walk aside and make the call while Xiao Bing watched the entire scene silently.

After Mu Tingchuan hung up the phone, Xiao Bing stood up and said, “Master Hou, since our enemy has already started striking, I should get prepared for it. I"ll leave then.”

“Okay. Tingchuan, walk Mr. Xiao to the door for me.”

Mu Tingchuan answered yes. When he walked out of the living room with Xiao Bing, he sighed deeply. Xiao Bing grinned. “Does Mr. Tingchuan still seem troubled by the decision Master Hou just made?”

“Yes.” Mu Tingchuan sighed again. “I don"t know why Master Hou made that decision. But he didn"t point it out. I know that he"s losing the support of the cities that were standing on his side before. If the Long family keeps expanding like this, I"m afraid that there won"t be any chance for us to defeat them.”

Mu Tingchuan wanted to say that actually it was just self-preservation. It seemed that Master Hou wanted to preserve the forces he possessed, but it was short-sighted. A fire on the city gate brings disaster to the fish in the moat. It was a simple truth to Master Hou.

Xiao Bing grinned. “I don"t quite understand Master Hou"s thoughts either. But I"m sure he has his reasons. Tingchuan, I should leave now. Don"t hesitate to call me if you need my help. I"ll be there as fast as I can.”

Mu Tingchuan sighed again and nodded.

Xiao Bing got in his car and drove away from Master Hou"s mansion. As Xiao Bing was contemplating the decision Master Hou had made, his eyes gradually brightened and a smile touched the corner of his lips. “What a cunning man,” he murmured to himself.
