Chapter 1254 555: Back to Back (Part 2)
Qin Er was anxious, frightened, and aggrieved; fear surged in her heart, her brain heated up, and she fainted.
And at that moment...
"Don't rush. The Rebel Army is different from those rookies. Take her with us. Who knows, we might need the Rebel Army's help."
Ding Hui's words left Fang Yu confused.
"You plan to cooperate with the Rebel Army?"
"There are some materials my friends can't help with, but the Rebel Army should have the channels."
Fang Yu raised an eyebrow.
"Do you mean..."
Ding Hui looked at Fang Yu.
"Some things, certain local forces cannot or dare not do, but aggressive new-generation organizations like the Rebel Army should be willing to try, and they may have already intervened."
Fang Yu's heart stirred.
There's only so much meat.
When new organizations emerge, they want to carve up the territory of old organizations.
Amidst the transition between old and new, some hidden businesses will surface.
If the Rebel Army hasn't touched the slave trade, then let them do it. As they build the business, veteran forces will naturally come knocking.
And that veteran force is the target I'm looking for.
Even if the Rebel Army has already been involved with the slave trade, they'll naturally have intelligence about it.
Ding Hui's words gave Fang Yu some insight.
He pondered and then stepped forward to lift Qin Er.
"Miss, how should I address you?"
But as Fang Yu lifted her, he realized Qin Er had already fainted from fear at some point.
Or perhaps it was because she lost too much blood from her forehead and fainted.
Fang Yu helplessly looked back at Ding Hui.
"Give her to me; let's leave here first." Ding Hui said.
This place has caused a commotion, it's too conspicuous.
As for those surrounding Foolish Underworld people, they can block small fry but definitely can't block us.
"Alright."
Fang Yu handed her to Ding Hui, then grabbed the luggage and led Ding Hui downstairs.
"Wait, I'll check the situation outside first."
As they approached the inn's entrance, Fang Yu stopped Ding Hui.
Fang Yu was not afraid of the rain of arrows or being surrounded by Foolish Underworld, but Ding Hui wasn't impervious, so he had to consider Ding Hui's safety.
He strode out of the inn.
In the next instant, the people of Foolish Underworld outside the inn were suddenly scared and turned pale.
"It's him!"
"The guy who took Captain Song's Fiery Flame Palm!"
"How did he come out!?"
"Alert! Everyone stays alert!! But don't take action, the Captain has ordered, no one should take the initiative to attack him!!"
Everyone shouted, and even the whole formation retreated a bit, which made Fang Yu find it somewhat amusing.
"Make a path, I'm ready to leave. Tell your Captain Song that I will return the palm he gave me today on another day."
After saying so, Fang Yu let Ding Hui come out and followed him toward the Foolish Underworld encirclement.
People exchanged glances but sensibly made a path, not daring to clash with Fang Yu.
Over a hundred people were all nervously watching Fang Yu, yet not daring to make a move.
The scene was incredibly quiet; only the sound of Fang Yu and Ding Hui's footsteps could be heard clearly, while the others merely kept their eyes fixed on Fang Yu, vigilant.
Until Fang Yu walked out of the encirclement, the people of Foolish Underworld breathed a sigh of relief.
Fang Yu didn't linger further and strode away.
"Finally, he's gone!"
"Scared me to death... Someone who can rival Captain Song must at least be an old monster from the Wood Realm!"
"Another old thing who maintains their youthful appearance..."
"Shh! Say less, what if he comes back for a surprise attack, we won't be his match."
The people of Foolish Underworld whispered among themselves.
Meanwhile, on the other side, the fleeing Humblebane Plague was finally caught.
"Let go of me! Let go of me!!"
Humblebane Plague roared in anger, but Song Zhenrong pushed his head into the ground.
With a loud bang, Humblebane Plague became much more compliant, not daring to move.
"Master!"
Zhao Wutian shouted, but it was futile.
"Take all of them back to the dungeon."
Song Zhenrong pointed at Brother Tian and the others who had already been subdued, then turned his gaze to his sister, who had been sulking and ignoring him since earlier.
"Song Xi."
"Hmph!"
"Don't be so headstrong. Meeting a tough opponent today is a good thing. It saves you from thinking that Thunder City has no one who can control you."
"If only brother would stand up for me!" Song Xi glared at Song Zhenrong, tears in her eyes, before turning around and running off.
"Captain..."
A trusted aide spoke.
But Song Zhenrong just shook his head slightly.
"Let her calm down. I've spoiled her too much over the years; it's time she learns some harsh lessons."
Everyone lowered their heads, silent, their hearts long since tired of Song Xi, the vice captain's, arrogance and tyranny.
It wasn't targeted at outsiders; it was the same towards everyone, especially the subordinates, as if Song Zhenrong's men were her slaves, ordering them around with arrogance and impunity.
But out of respect for Captain Song, no one dared utter a word of objection. Who in Foolish Underworld didn't know how doting Captain Song was towards his sister? Who would dare offend her!
They had put up with it for years, with countless complaints privately circulating within Foolish Underworld. However, Captain Song was too outstanding, too authoritative, silencing all dissent as if nothing had happened at all.
This resentment had accumulated over the years; no one liked her, secretly wishing she'd get into trouble sooner or later.
After all, truth be told, Song Xi was merely a vice captain, just like these confidants, equal in rank! But due to Captain Song's relationship, they were forced to swallow their anger and be subordinate.
Seeing Song Xi suffer a setback now, they secretly enjoyed it, though they dared not express it openly.
As everyone pondered this, a voice suddenly rang out ahead.
"Captain Song."
It was a woman with a large belly, accompanied by several maids and guards.
Song Zhenrong's expression shifted, becoming solemn.
"Captain Che, what brings you here."
"Captain Song, seeing you unhurt, I'm relieved. I thought it over after returning and couldn't feel at ease. I'm aware of Song Xi's nature; she would definitely look for trouble with that outsider. I confirmed it by visiting Foolish Underworld, realizing she must have asked you for help. Fortunately, you haven't had a conflict with that person. Let me tell you, that outsider is incredibly strong. Whatever you do, don't provoke him because of Song Xi."
Song Zhenrong smiled wryly, "Captain Che, it's too late. I've already fought him."
"What?!"
Che Xintai's face changed, clutching her belly, hurriedly asking.
"Did you win?"
Song Zhenrong shook his head.
"..."
Che Xintai's face turned grim.
"Since there's been a conflict, you must uproot it, Captain Song. That guy is just an outsider without any foundation. A lion separated from the pride is but old, weak, and decrepit."
Che Xintai implied.
However, Song Zhenrong had different thoughts.
"No need to worry. Although we've had a conflict, we've reconciled. He shouldn't be causing Trouble for Foolish Underworld..."
Song Zhenrong was about to say this when suddenly a piercing scream echoed from afar.
"Ahhhhhh!!!"
Song Zhenrong's face changed immediately.
Almost immediately upon hearing the scream, he rushed out.
Because the scream was none other than his sister Song Xi's!
"What's going on?!"
Che Xintai was taken aback but hurriedly led the Foolish Underworld crowd to catch up to Song Zhenrong.
She was already pregnant, her combat effectiveness greatly reduced, and without guards nearby, she dared not undertake dangerous actions.
Yet, out of concern for her colleague, she rushed forward.
When she arrived, she only saw Song Zhenrong picking up a bloody severed hand from the ground, then standing up quickly, his eyes red, scanning the surroundings.
"Come out! What have you done to my sister? Come out!!"
Only then did Che Xintai realize that the bloody severed hand was Song Xi's!
Although Song Xi usually behaved recklessly, her power as a Foolish Underworld vice captain-level expert was undeniable, yet she had her arm cut off in such a short time...
"The one who came is indeed unfriendly..."
