At this moment, Wang Chao remained silent. Firstly, it was inappropriate for him to speak up after the captain had already declared their intention to give up. Secondly, since the people across from them were all at Platinum Level or close to it, he knew that while he might not be harmed by them, the others could be in danger. However, Wang Chao did not believe that all of these individuals were truly at Platinum Level.
He believed that two or three of them might be, but a portion of the group was still at Silver Level, and a small number were at Golden Level. Those who reached Golden Upper Level were already considered strong in this world. As for those above Platinum, they were even rarer. Among the people Wang Chao knew, there were only about a dozen who exceeded Platinum Level. If everyone here was indeed at Platinum Level, then the Zhonghu Safety Zone and Anfei Safe Zone would have long been overrun by them.
But with that thought in mind, Wang Chao could only helplessly stand aside.
Without saying a word, those individuals began to move supplies. It seemed that Iron Joy and his group had been scouting this supermarket for quite some time, and only now did they think about taking some of the items inside. Each person carried a large backpack for collecting goods, but unexpectedly, they were intercepted by The Black-Clad Society. Everyone felt angry and unwilling, yet they recognized that they were no match for such individuals, leaving them feeling quite miserable.
Wang Chao sat quietly nearby, observing these people.
At that moment, one person approached with a backpack and stopped by the shelf where Wang Chao leaned against—the most luxurious section filled with Cigarettes and Alcohol. Unbeknownst to him, many items had already found their way into Wang Chao's Spatial Ring; compared to food, these items were far more valuable. As this person filled their backpack with goods and walked over, they noticed that much of what was behind Wang Chao had disappeared, which made them furious.
"Stand up! Are you hiding something?" the person shouted at Wang Chao. "Show me what's in your backpack!"
Wang Chao did not stand up; he simply took off his backpack and handed it to the person. Naturally, there was nothing inside since he had stored everything in his Spatial Ring. At that moment, Wang Chao shrugged and said, "I don’t know where all the stuff went; when I was leaning here earlier, I saw it was empty. Maybe a dog ate it."
The person paused for a moment before realizing that these items were meant for their own group to take back and enjoy. By saying this, Wang Chao was essentially calling him a dog.
"Who the hell are you calling a dog?" the person shouted angrily as they threw down their backpack and drew a curved knife from behind them, pointing it at Wang Chao. "Say that again! Who are you calling a dog?"
"Whoever agrees is a dog," Wang Chao replied with a smile.
"You dare say that to The Black-Clad Society? I'll cut you down!" As he spoke, the man swung his knife at Wang Chao. With ease, Wang Chao dodged the attack, causing the blade to strike the shelf instead and split it in two. Their argument had already drawn the attention of others; when they arrived on the scene, they saw Wang Chao evade the man's strike, prompting both groups to draw their weapons immediately.
No one drew their guns, for they all knew that once a weapon was unsheathed, death would be inevitable for everyone present. The space was cramped and crowded, and each person held a Submachine Gun. If it had been handguns, they might have endured a few shots without dying, but with bullets raining down like water, no one could withstand it except for Wang Chao. The attacker continued to slash at Wang Chao, who raised his dagger in response.
Wang Chao had intentionally weakened a significant portion of his strength, so he was evenly matched with this person. However, he sensed that the man's power was at most on par with Golden Upper, not even reaching the lower levels of Platinum. It seemed that the rumors about the Black Clothes Society being composed entirely of Platinum Level individuals were merely falsehoods.
The leader of the black-clad men shouted, "Are you really going to oppose the Black Clothes Society? Know this: if you offend us, we will hunt you down no matter how far you run!"
"Wang Chao, stop!" At that moment, Iron Joy's voice rang out. "Don't make a move!"
Wang Chao was taken aback; in all his life, he had never been forced into such a passive position. However, since Iron Joy had spoken, he could only sigh inwardly and jump aside. The attacker halted his assault as well. The leader of the black-clad men continued, "If you dare to fight against the Black Clothes Society, I can spare everyone here, but he must die!"
As he spoke, the black-clad man pointed directly at Wang Chao.
Wang Chao frowned but remained silent. Although the leader was pointing at him, his words were directed at Iron Joy. He understood that Iron Joy was the captain of this Squad and possessed the greatest strength among them. No one had dared to confront the Black-Clad Society here because they were known for their ruthless nature and would not spare anyone who offended them.
The saying "Better to provoke a gentleman than a petty person" stemmed from this reality.
Seeing that Iron Joy did not respond, the black-clad man continued, "You know how we operate. Now I give you two options: first, hand over this man to us, and we will part ways peacefully; you go your way and we go ours. Second, if you refuse to hand him over, then the consequence will be war with the Black Clothes Society."
"And there are two possible outcomes," the leader continued. "First, you will be wiped out by us; second, we will be killed by you. But know this: as long as even one member of the Black Clothes Society returns alive to the black market, your Zhonghu Safety Zone will never know peace again. We will unleash slaughter in Zhonghu Safety Zone to avenge our fallen brothers!"
"Now is your time to choose!" The black-clad leader snorted coldly and said calmly.
In an instant, all eyes turned to Iron Joy's face. Everyone awaited his decision: to fight to the death or to surrender Wang Chao. After a full five minutes of silence, Iron Joy finally spoke up in a low and intermittent voice: "Wang Chao, today is your first time in our Zhonghu Safety Zone. As your captain, I have an obligation to lead you out safely!"
Everyone thought that Iron Joy was about to start a fight, but Iron Joy continued, "But I can't joke around with the Zhonghu Safety Zone. I am a captain, and I cannot gamble with the lives of others. I'm sorry. I choose to hand over the person."
Wang Chao remained silent, only managing a bitter smile. The other team members were also quiet; the decision to sacrifice one of their own was hard for them to accept. They couldn't come to terms with Iron Joy's actions, yet they had no other options and could only turn their heads away. Meanwhile, The Black-Clad Society laughed, "Ha ha, that's right, kid, prepare to die!"
Wang Chaozhen felt helpless.
