Thinking of this, Chuan Er was filled with rage, and he clenched his fists tightly, heading into the dark forest. Tie San really hadn’t learned his lesson! Looks like he needs to teach him a good lesson!
The forest was very silent, the sound of the wind rustling the leaves was exceptionally clear, Chuan Er took a couple of steps but stopped, because he was drawn by a familiar female voice—
"So what if I lied to you!"
This was Xue Tong’s voice!
How could they be together? Driven by instinctive defense against danger, Chuan Er immediately hid behind a big tree. Using the corner of his eye, he glanced at the point in the center of the forest and saw Tie San and Gu Tong standing face to face!
Tie San was very agitated right now, his shoulders were trembling continuously, and he said, "Fifth Master sent you here to get rid of Chuan Er and support me in becoming the leader. Now you’re here with a team of assassins but not taking action! Could it be that you’re planning to go back on your word..."
Chuan Er covered his mouth, unable to believe his ears. He held his breath, not daring to make any sound, fearing they would discover him.
"That’s what Fifth Master promised you, not me. Why are you asking me!"
Gu Tong sneered and laughed, "Taiping Mountain has already caused Fifth Master so much trouble! Don’t you realize it? And yet you still want to rule over it, you’re really blind!"
"Why don’t you mention the profits we’ve brought to Fifth Master then... those are the profits Fifth Master couldn’t earn even if he stayed in the upper echelons for a lifetime..."
Tie San, being a bandit, naturally had to speak from a bandit’s perspective.
Gu Tong’s cold lips curled up, speaking flatly again, "You might not understand! Taiping Mountain is Fifth Master’s true profit. There’s oil under the mountain, but the upper management can’t develop the mountain range! That’s why Fifth Master uses you, hoping to use the power of the bomb to blow it up. Everything over these years has been a setup."
"Setting up a trap within a trap, and making a little extra on the side, that’s Fifth Master’s true intention! Otherwise, do you really think Fifth Master would associate with a bunch of weapons dealers? It’s truly laughable!"
"Oil, you..." Tie San was dumbfounded, he opened his mouth wide and said, "So... you purposely provoked Chuan Er, intending to use him to blow up the mountain... by then, all the bandits will die on the mountain, and your goal will be achieved..."
"Good for you, kid, you’re smart!"
In the darkness, Zhao Yong let out a cold laugh and said, "Chuan Er is a fool, thinking he’s in league with Fifth Master, so he can’t expose Fifth Master. As long as he holds his ground, the special trainees keep pressuring him, he’ll definitely do something stupid like blowing up the mountain. By that time, Fifth Master’s goal will be achieved."
The series of revelations was a deadly blow to Tie San, his body trembled, and he said fearfully, "You can’t do this... if you provoke Chuan Er, not only will we die, but you will too..."
"You’re just flesh and blood, you can’t withstand artillery fire... by then, you’ll also be blown up here. You’re following Fifth Master just for the money... if you lose your life, then you’ll have nothing..."
Zhao Yong let out a sinister laugh, with a completely disdainful attitude, saying, "You’re underestimating Fifth Master too much! We’re all assassins used by Fifth Master, personally trained by him. As long as Fifth Master gives the word, we’re willing to die, as long as we can complete the task, what does sacrifice matter."
