"Oh?" The Vice President drew the curved dagger from behind, not looking at Yuan Min but instead gazing at the blade, stroking it with his hand as he spoke, "Is that so? So you mean you're not going to hand him over?" As soon as he finished speaking, the hundred men behind him simultaneously unsheathed their curved daggers, their blades glinting coldly in the sunlight, making it almost unbearable to look at.
The atmosphere instantly grew tense, swords drawn and ready, as if the members of the Black-Clad Society were about to storm into the Safe Zone and unleash a massacre. At this moment, the Squad of the Safe Zone had gathered outside, numbering over two hundred, with each team leader standing at the front, looking quite imposing. Yuan Min snorted coldly and said, "Vice President, my warriors from Zhonghu Safety Zone are not to be underestimated. Do you really think a mere hundred men can breach my Safe Zone?"
Iron Joy listened intently from within the ranks. At this moment, his feelings towards Wang Chao were mixed with both hatred and guilt. He wanted to find Wang Chao but hesitated, unsure of what to do. Meanwhile, Wang Chao was standing not far behind Yuan Min, not in a hurry to act; he wanted to observe what kind of person this Vice President truly was.
"Alright! Let's see whether my Black Clothes Society's hundred men are stronger or your Zhonghu Safety Zone's warriors!" As he spoke, the Vice President pointed his dagger forward, its edge just a few centimeters from Yuan Min's neck. Yet she appeared remarkably calm. Wang Chao couldn't help but admire her; she was truly a woman who remained unflinching in the face of danger.
Earlier in the office, when he heard that the Vice President of the Black Cloak Society was coming with his men, Wang Chao could clearly sense Yuan Min's anxiety and slight panic. But now that he faced the Vice President of the Black Clothes Society directly, Yuan Min stood tall and composed, as if the dagger at her throat were merely a toy rather than a deadly weapon.
Yuan Min wielded two Sleeve Blades. With a quick motion, she drew them from her sleeves and declared, "In that case, I have no choice but to test the skills of this Vice President of the Black Cloak Society!"
"Good!" The Vice President of the Black Clothes Society sheathed his dagger before him and commanded his men, "Members of the Black Clothes Society, follow my orders and charge in!"
"Prepare for battle!" Yuan Min shouted back.
Just as both sides were about to engage, two voices rang out simultaneously—Iron Joy and Wang Chao—both calling out in unison: "Hold on!" They were taken aback by each other's shouts; Wang Chao shook his head in disbelief. Iron Joy's thoughts were clear to Wang Chao; he simply wanted to reveal himself.
But Wang Chao would not let his own issues endanger everyone in the Safe Zone. The voices that echoed caused everyone to pause for a moment but also halted both sides. At this point, Wang Chao leisurely walked between Yuan Min and the Vice President of the Black Cloak Society. He said calmly, "Leader, they are looking for me. This matter is my doing and has nothing to do with the Safe Zone."
As Wang Chao spoke, he wore a smile that suggested he was unfazed by the deadly members of the Black Clothes Society before him. Yuan Min hadn’t anticipated that the person they sought would be someone who had just been trying to rally a team right in front of her. It was all too sudden; how could someone at Golden Upper level possibly have killed nine members of the Black Clothes Society?
"Is it him?" asked the leader of the Black Clothes Society. "Who else could it be?"
As they spoke, Wang Chao noticed a member of the Black Clothes Society who had fled earlier stepping forward. Upon seeing Wang Chao, the person shouted, "That's right, it's him! Even if he turned to ashes, I would recognize him! He is the one who killed nine members of the Black Clothes Society, including Yude!"
"What?" the Vice President asked. "Are you saying it was all his doing? No one else helped?"
The Black Clothes Society member nodded vigorously and replied, "That's right. Although they were part of a squad that encountered us, the others didn't lift a finger. It was just him who killed them!" Wang Chao thought to himself that this member of the Black Clothes Society was indeed speaking the truth. However, he was relieved that this matter wouldn't implicate Li Kai and the others, thus saving him a lot of trouble.
Wang Chao nodded in acknowledgment and said, "You're quite an honest young man. I don't know how you ended up in this line of work. Yes, I killed those Nine People by myself; it has nothing to do with anyone else. However, I do have an idea." With that, Wang Chao turned to look at Yuan Min, who was staring back at him with wide eyes.
"You are Wang Chao?" Yuan Min asked. "Did you really kill so many members of the Black Clothes Society?"
"That's correct!" Wang Chao replied. "But as a member of the Zhonghu Safety Zone—though I've only been here for a day—I still consider myself part of it. Leader, there's something I want to discuss with you!"
"What is it?" Yuan Min inquired.
Wang Chao said, "I want to see if you would be willing to go to war with the Black Clothes Society for my sake. If not, then forget I said anything. But if you would be willing, I promise to help you with three things in the future. What do you think?" As he spoke, he maintained a playful grin, and his words caused an uproar among the crowd.
"Don't agree to him! Doing so will bring trouble to our Zhonghu Safety Zone!" "Exactly! We can't listen to him; we must hand him over to the Black Clothes Society!" "Yes, that's right! Hand him over!" The onlookers within the Safe Zone shouted loudly, fearing that Yuan Min might inadvertently agree to Wang Chao's proposal; if that happened, Zhonghu Safety Zone would be doomed.
The Vice President had never seen someone like this before—a Golden Upper level individual showing no fear in front of hundreds from the Black Clothes Society. This person was either insane or had some kind of backing. Yet his golden strength was evident; it couldn't be faked. Even someone who had practiced ancient martial arts since childhood couldn't possibly be a match for someone at the Platinum Tier.
This person must be tired of living.
The murmurs around them buzzed in Yuan Min's ears like a swarm of bees; not a single word registered in his mind. Strangely enough, Yuan Min felt that Wang Chao was definitely not an ordinary person, but no matter how he looked at it, Wang Chao seemed like a complete madman. To everyone's surprise, Yuan Min declared, "Just like the Black Clothes Society, we at Zhonghu Safety Zone will absolutely not easily hand over our residents!"
The Vice President snorted coldly and said, "Are you suggesting that we go to war with the Black Clothes Society?"
Everyone around was stunned.
