Chapter 112: The Glory of the Flame
From Ran Hou’s words, it was clear that he did not want to completely fall out with the Fiery Flame Adventure Team.
The Fiery Flame Adventure Team, indeed, had far fewer members than the gang he led. But the individuals in Fiery Flame, each and every one of them, were seasoned warriors, rife with combat experience.
Once a fight broke out, Ran Hou felt that even if he could annihilate the Fiery Flame Adventure Team, his own gang would definitely suffer great losses.
Therefore, he was unwilling to start a war unless absolutely necessary. As long as Gao Zhan handed over the green-clothed Martial Artist named Jing Yan, it would mean that the Fiery Flame Adventure Team had bowed down to him, Ran Hou. In Black Teeth Village, no one could accuse Ran Hou of being unloyal or cowardly.
"Hehe..."
"Ran Hou, chief, you’re asking the impossible!" Gao Zhan said with a smile, his gaze fixed directly on Ran Hou.
"Everyone knows that Young Master Jing Yan is now our employer at the Fiery Flame Adventure Team, and our responsibility is to ensure his safety. Now, Chief Ran Hou, you want me to hand over our employer—would our team have any credibility afterward?" Although Gao Zhan spoke calmly, his words carried an undeniable implication that there was no room for negotiation.
Gao Zhan knew that if a fight did break out, it would be a deadly blow to the Fiery Flame Adventure Team. Even if some members behind him might survive, the majority would perish here. Even his own chances of survival were slim, as Ran Hou was a Half-step Innate, and he had no confidence in surviving under Ran Hou’s hands.
But even if most of Fiery Flame were to die here, they would never hand Jing Yan over. As long as one member of Fiery Flame was alive, Jing Yan must survive.
That was Fiery Flame’s pride—it wasn’t obsolescence; it was glory.
"Chief Ran Hou, my sister Gao Feng did indeed have some unpleasant conflicts with your brother Hua Bao at Black Teeth Tavern. Let me have Gao Feng apologize to Brother Hua Bao. Please, Chief Ran Hou, give the Fiery Flame Adventure Team some face and let this matter slide," Gao Zhan said.
"Big brother..." Gao Feng stomped her foot.
