Ma Weiwu stepped forward and kicked over the table in front of the old man. "What else do you need help with? Where are the others?" After knocking over the table, Ma Weiwu directly grabbed the old man's collar and lifted him up.
The old man was clearly frightened by Ma Weiwu's actions. "My lord, I am just a messenger. I don't know anything about any letters."
"Don't know? It seems that unless I make you suffer a bit, you won't speak." Ma Weiwu raised his hand and slapped the old man. "Are you going to tell me or not?"
"My lord, I really don't know! What do you want me to say? Just a few days ago, a young man came to me and told me to do this. He even said that if I got a business deal, he would give me a gold coin as a reward. That's all I know!"
"It seems your mouth is quite tough. Someone, take this old man and throw him in prison. We'll interrogate him slowly when we get back."
"Yes." After responding, two soldiers came up and restrained the old man. They turned to leave, but just as they stepped outside, they heard two cries of "Ah!" Looking outside, the two soldiers escorting the old man were already lying in a pool of blood, and the surrounding soldiers were also silently lying on the ground.
About twenty meters away from the small house stood Five People, all dressed in black and masked. After hearing the screams of his soldiers, Ma Weiwu rushed out and stood face to face with Five People, with a large number of officials and soldiers behind him.
Among them was a young man who wiped the blood from the corner of the old man's mouth while taking out five gold coins from his pocket and handing them to the old man, allowing him to leave first. Then he looked up at Ma Weiwu. "You must be General Ma, right?"
"Indeed, I am Old Man. May I ask who you are?"
"General Ma, I am Hall Master of Huaxia First-Class Hall. You can just call me Xiao. I don't know why General Ma is here today, even targeting our messenger?"
"You thieves dare to enter the palace at night; you have committed treason. I'm here to capture you all today. Do you still want to make Old Man move?" Ma Weiwu looked at Five People, feeling that they were overestimating themselves and that capturing them was only a matter of time.
"Ma Weiwu General, what we have placed in the palace and your residences are merely advertisements for our Huaxia First-Class Hall. We haven't stolen anything from you. Moreover, if our hall is truly established, it would be greatly beneficial for you as well, such as gathering information about your enemies and assassinating those you cannot kill. Isn't that mutually beneficial? If you want to encircle us, I can clearly tell you that the number of people you brought today is simply insufficient." The young man smiled at Ma Weiwu.
"What? Are you provoking me? Do you want to see my subordinates' strength?" After saying this, Ma Weiwu waved his hand, and the soldiers behind him stepped forward in unison, gripping their weapons tightly; they looked like an elite force.
"This is your subordinates' strength? To be honest with you, General Ma, you can look around now."
As Ma Weiwu glanced around, he was immediately drenched in cold sweat because numerous black-clad figures had appeared on the rooftops surrounding them without him noticing. Each of these figures held something resembling a small box in their hands, with shining arrows mounted on top. These were hand crossbows crafted by Liu Guanfeng's blacksmiths, modified by Xuanwu and Qifeng Ge so that each could release seven bolts at once.
All the crossbows were aimed at Ma Weiwu and his companions, while Ma Weiwu coldly stared at the Five Boys in front of him. "What’s the matter, kid? Do you think those bows and arrows up there can deal with me?" After saying this, Ma Weiwu directly mounted his Leopard.
The boy shook his head and smiled. "General Ma, I never said we could handle you, but dealing with your subordinates is more than enough. And one more thing, General Ma, do you really think we have no way to deal with you?" As soon as the boy finished speaking, a Black Leopard suddenly appeared beside him, and behind him, four men in black also mounted giant pythons—one Sixth-Grade Beast and four Fifth-Stage Beasts. This was quite a shocking sight.
Moreover, when Ma Weiwu looked up at the roof, his heart sank. He saw that beside all the men in black on the roof lay a Black Leopard. Ma Weiwu immediately recognized that the black leopards on the roof were the same Yinming Ghost Leopards as the one ridden by the boy in front of him, and these Ghost Leopards were of a higher grade than his own Leopard. His Leopard had only reached Sixth Tier after years of effort, while Ghost Leopards were born as Sixth Tier beasts; if they grew up, they would become Seventh Tier magical beasts.
Facing so many Sixth-Grade Beasts, he truly felt uncertain about winning. If he couldn't eliminate them all, his future days would definitely not be easy because the main service of Huaxia First-Class Hall was assassination. Being targeted by experts in assassination every day would not feel good at all.
Seeing that Ma Weiwu was hesitant, the Black-Clad Youth spoke up: "General Ma, I think there might be some misunderstanding between us. How about this: you go back home and think about it first; I will come to see you later."
Ma Weiwu sighed. "I believe this is a misunderstanding. I'll return home for now. You can come to see me later."
"I understand. I will respectfully send off General Ma." After saying this, the Black-Clad Youth led his subordinates aside to leave a way out for Ma Weiwu.
Ma Weiwu led his soldiers away in defeat. After returning home, he waited for less than an hour before he heard a knock on the door of his study: "Who is it? Come in."
The door to Ma Weiwu's study was pushed open, and a shadowy figure entered. The newcomer bowed deeply to Ma Weiwu: "General Ma."
Hearing the voice, Ma Weiwu looked up in surprise: "What’s going on? How did you get in here?"
The visitor sat down on a nearby chair: "General Ma, to be honest, entering your general's mansion is quite simple. If I couldn't even enter your mansion, how could I run One-Pin Hall?"
"Speak up; what exactly brings you here?" Ma Weiwu calmed himself.
"General Ma, I would like you to speak to His Majesty and help my Huaxia First-Class Hall get established."
"That’s a difficult issue; this morning Your Majesty was very angry about your matters."
The Black-Clad Youth directly took out a small wooden box from his pocket: "General Ma, please accept this gift; I need your help with my affairs."
Ma Weiwu opened the box and saw that inside was a Core. From its energy, he could tell that this Core was Metallic and of considerable grade.
"General Ma, here is a Core from an Eighth Rank Golden Mane Lion. I just wanted to let General Ma and Your Majesty know that we won't be making any bold moves. Just treat it as if nothing happened, and if there's anything you need help with, feel free to ask."
Ma Weiwu joyfully closed the box. "How about this? We need your assistance right now. As long as you can accomplish this, I can speak highly of you in front of His Majesty, allowing your Huaxia First-Class Hall to operate legitimately."
"Alright. Just let me know what General Ma needs."
"I want to find out where Liu Yong'an's Third Son, Liu Guanfeng, is now. If you can find out, let me know so I can inform His Majesty."
"Understood. If I have any news, I will definitely notify you. General Ma, I'll take my leave now."
"I'll be waiting for your good news."
After hearing Ma Weiwu's words, the Black-Clad Youth pushed open the door and rushed out. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared without a trace.
That evening at the Red Star Mercenary Group's base, a young man dressed in black stood before Liu Guanfeng and relayed Ma Weiwu's request.
Liu Guanfeng nodded. "Then just tell them I'm in the Four Sacred Mountain Valley. I'm sure they won't dare to ask the Four Masters for anyone."
"Alright, Third Brother. I'll pass on the message to them in a few days."
"Also, have your subordinates investigate the whereabouts of my parents and my two brothers, as well as Bao Rui's father. Find out where they are being held."
"I understand, Third Brother. I'll go do that right away."
"Be careful."
"Thank you for your concern, Third Brother. I'm off." With that, he turned and left the room.
A week later, he returned again. "Third Brother, I've conveyed your message to Ma Weiwu. He has already informed Sun Yong, and Sun Yong has agreed. Our Huaxia First-Class Hall is officially established starting today. As for your parents, I've also found out that they and Bao Rui's father are in Heavenly Prison, while your two brothers have been taken to a mine outside the city to work."
Liu Guanfeng nodded. "You've worked hard. Now we should discuss our rescue plan."
Liu Guanfeng gathered Bao Rui and the others together: "Next, I will explain the rescue plan. Since my older brother and Second Brother are outside the city, we will split into two groups today. The first group will be led by Xiao, who will take Song Haitao, Iron Bull, Copper Bull, and fifty members of One-Pin Hall. The remaining members of One-Pin Hall will go with me and Bao Rui. Our mission is to rescue my parents and Bao Rui's parents. Xiao, take your people outside the city to find my two brothers. After rescuing them, there's no need to regroup; just send my two brothers directly to the ship outside Young Lion City. Once I rescue my parents, I will also take them directly to Young Lion City.
But you must remember that after rescuing them, neither you nor Bao Rui can leave Starfall City because your Mercenary group and One-Pin Hall have just been established and need you to hold the fort. Leave the rest to me. Do you understand?"
"Understood."
"Good, everyone prepare. We will act tomorrow night."
After the meeting ended, everyone returned to their rooms, and Dai went back to his One-Pin Hall to arrange personnel.
The next evening, nearly sixty members of One-Pin Hall arrived at the courtyard of Red Star Mercenary Group. Liu Guanfeng and Bao Rui stepped forward: "First, Bao Rui and I would like to thank everyone here." Liu Guanfeng and Bao Rui bowed deeply to all the members of One-Pin Hall.
Seeing Liu Guanfeng and Bao Rui's actions, all the members of One-Pin Hall immediately knelt down: "General, what are you doing?" The speaker was Gao Yu, the deputy Hall Master of One-Pin Hall.
Liu Guanfeng stood up: "Everyone get up. Your mission today is to help me and Bao Rui rescue our loved ones. So Bao Rui and I want to thank you all first."
"Young General, there’s no need for that. If it weren't for you and Old General taking care of us, many of us might have starved on the streets by now. Most of us were orphans picked up by Old General from the streets; both Old General and you have given us a second chance at life. Today, we are willing to risk our lives without any regrets to rescue Old General."
"Yes, Young General, you don’t need to be so polite; this is what we should do," echoed other members of One-Pin Hall.
"Then I won't say any more unnecessary words; it's getting late. Let's head out now." With that, Liu Guanfeng mounted Little Black, while Bao Rui rode on his Heart-Riding Fire Tyrannosaurus that he brought back from Earth Dragon Island. The members of One-Pin Hall mounted their Yinming Ghost Leopards one after another, and the group quietly disappeared from the courtyard of Red Star Mercenary Group.
