Chapter 71: 069 Take the fight to their doorstep! (4.3k)_3
The moon was bright, the stars were sparse, and the night passed without a word.
The next day, Bai Xiao gradually woke up from his sleep.
He picked up his phone and turned off the alarm.
He unlocked the screen and fixed his gaze; it was a message from Instructor Liu Yang.
Liu Yang: Come straight to the base warehouse with your findings this morning!
Liu Yang: Master Chen will take care of it for you…
Liu Yang: You, lad, might even reap some benefits this time!
Bai Xiao immediately replied: Understood.
Then, he quickly washed up, got dressed, and clattered out the door.
At nine fifty in the morning, Bai Xiao walked into the White Bird Training Base, appearing on the road to the warehouse. A slender old man in black, standing by the warehouse entrance, saw him coming, vanished on the spot, and appeared beside Bai Xiao in no time. This startled Bai Xiao, causing him to take several steps backward.
“Bai Xiao, did you bring it?”
Chen Liao’s gaze was fervent, filled with a hint of anticipation.
“You mean the feather? I brought it.”
Bai Xiao took out a small iron box from his pocket. Upon opening it, there lay the gray feather he had gotten from Ye Ping yesterday – fine and gray.
Chen Liao’s aged hands pinched the feather as a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.
“A Boxing Slave that has completely lost its sanity is of no use; killing it doesn’t matter. However, a nascent Boxing Slave still in the process of being infected by Killing Ghost’s fighting mode is quite valuable! That means, we might be able to track down the Killing Ghost through the infected…”
“And then… we’ll pull out those lurking deeper…”
He took a deep breath, looking at Bai Xiao, who was all ears.
“Kid, you’ve really earned your stripes this time.”
“After the operation, I’ll help you secure a reward that’s substantial enough. Remember, those who contribute to the Fierce Bird Sect will reap their rewards!”
“Operation?” Bai Xiao asked, puzzled.
“Follow me.” Chen Liao immediately turned around, heading towards the building.
Five minutes later, in the main hall of the first floor of the training base where Bai Xiao had been on his first visit, six people with fierce dispositions were calmly waiting.
They were men and women, both old and young.
Each had a powerful gaze, long breaths, and sturdy and upright figures.
Especially among the six was an elder with white hair.
He sat cross-legged on the ground, practicing breathing exercises. Despite his efforts to suppress it, a deep and resonant Bird Call could still be heard, causing the surrounding air to tremble.
Two shadows appeared at the entrance of the hall.
The white-haired elder opened his eyes, exchanged a nod with Chen Liao.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh…
The six people stood up in unison, and a somber atmosphere rapidly spread.
At the same time, in Huaisui City, at the Ye Group headquarters.
In a luxurious office on the top floor.
Ye Ping, who had been beaten up the previous night, was complaining to his father, Ye Xiong. Although his bruises had been treated, there was still a lingering pain.
Ye Ping also grabbed his own hair, demonstrating how Bai Xiao had dragged him out of the private room like a dead dog the night before and thrown him away.
“What’s the use of crying? Crying is the behavior of the weak!”
“I’ve taught you; you need to make others cry!”
Seated firmly in front of the high-end black desk, Ye Xiong looked imposing without anger, dressed in a dark teal outfit. His low voice scolded him, his short hair standing up like bristles, resembling a lion.
“Tell me the names of those people.”
“I will have someone avenge you…”
“How about crippling their limbs?”
Ye Xiong lit a cigarette, the white smoke quietly drifting.
“Dad, I want to do it myself!”
Ye Ping’s tears turned to a smile, his face filled with deep hatred.
“Alright! I’ll make the call now, and you wait here.”
Ye Xiong pulled out his phone and began instructing his numerous subordinates.
“Don’t kill them, just go.”
