Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Stubble-bearded Big Brother and his gang included Huang Mao, closely followed Zhao Yu’s footsteps, their teeth chattering incessantly.
No one had expected that Zhao Yu would be so audacious. He dared to kill one of them. And not only did the guards not dare retaliate, they begrudgingly continued to protect him.
This was precisely Zhao Yu’s intention.
While Huang’s guards seemed to protect him, they also monitored him to prevent him from escaping Bing City.
There was a stage where he needed to break away from the Huang Family’s guards in his plan.
If he didn’t assert his status among them, that stage of his plan would be near impossible to execute.
Just as they exited the Ice Castle’s gates, a group of people surrounded them.
“Attack!”
Upon Huo Da Hai’s command, his men started attacking with various rods and sticks.
Zhao Yu pushed the Stubble-bearded Big Brother in front of him as his shield and rapidly retreated backward.
“They’ve got guns!”
A subordinate caught the Stubble-bearded Big Brother, noticed the gun in his hand, and shouted in alarm.
Huo Da Hai hurriedly drew his gun, and aimed it at the Stubble-bearded Big Brother.
The poor Stubble-bearded Big Brother, still trying to grasp the situation, found himself with a gun pointed at his head.
Out of fear, he quickly threw the gun on the ground and knelt down.
“Spare me!”
“Coward!”
Huo Da Hai spared the Stubble-bearded Big Brother.
Without paying him much attention, Huo Da Hai commanded his men to chase after Zhao Yu. “Chase him down! Don’t let Zhao Yu escape!”
His underlings immediately split into two groups: one group chasing after Zhao Yu, and the other brutally attacking the Stubble-bearded Big Brother and his companions.
Huang Mao too was pinned down and beaten.
His initial desire to thrive in the underworld faded considerably after this ordeal.
He had never imagined that life in this world was so cheap. So many died without a purpose.
And he was well aware that when people died like this, it’s as if they died in vain.
“Bang-!”
A gunshots echoed from inside the castle.
Huo Da Hai felt an ominous premonition in his heart. He hurriedly signaled his men to draw their guns, secure the castle entrance, and ambush from both sides.
Without waiting long, a spherical object rolled out onto the ground.
“Take cover…”
Huo Da Hai shout the warning and he dove to the side.
But it was too late.
The guards of the Huang family were experienced in combat, and the grenades they threw exploded almost instantly.
Flames and smoke engulfed the area, and two people who were too close were instantly killed.
Although Huo Da Hai managed to dodge, he was still affected by the explosion, his chest was injured.
“Capture them alive; I want to know who sent them!”
The voice of the captain of the Huang family’s guards rang out.
A group of people emerged, expertly tied up Huo Da Hai and his men.
The guard captain’s expression was solemn as he recalled the words of the leader of the Huang family had told him before departing.
“Those who have their eyes on Zhao Yu are not just greedy opportunists…”
“Be wary of those sent by our competitors and enemies…”
This was the reason the Huang family sent an entire team of guards to protect Zhao Yu.
They were concerned that the Huang family’s competitors or enemies might seize the opportunity to kill Zhao Yu, prompting the Su family to retaliate against the Huang family.
However, the leader of the Huang’s Family had analyzed that a few enemies would not dare to act brazenly. Instead, they would hire outsiders unrelated to their families to do their dirty work.
Hence, a whole guard team was essentially sufficient.
In a short while, six or seven people were tightly bound. Huo Dahai, as the leader, was the first to be brought before the captain of the guards.
“Speak, who sent you?”
“Ptui!”
Huo Dahai spat a thick gob of saliva. A cold glint flashed in the captain’s eyes, and he took matters into his own hands, beginning the torture.
Zhao Yu watched from the side, curious about who sent this group.
If the elder Huang had thought of something, Zhao Yu had naturally thought of it as well. He had even specially checked the situation of the Huang family’s enemies.
Despite prolonged torture, not one of them spoke up.
“Very well, take them all back. Let’s see if your mouths are tougher than my torture instruments…”
The captain of the Huang family guards laughed coldly.
At that moment, Stubble-bearded Big Brother who felt insecure about his safety and stood close to Zhao Yu, whispered, “He seems to be Huo Da Hai…”
“You know him?!”
The captain turned his head.
After taking a closer look at Huo Da Hai, Stubble-bearded Big Brother confirmed, “It’s him, Huo Da Hai. He hangs around in our area and has over twenty men under him…”
Huo Da Hai?!
Zhao Yu felt that Huo Da Hai’s face looked familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere.
Now that he looked closer, didn’t he resembled Huo Xiao Xi a bit?
He stepped forward, gripped Huo Da Hai’s chin and coldly said, “What is Huo Xiao Xi to you?!”
Huo Da Hai showed a burst of killing intent. But then, as if recalling something, he quickly denied, “1 don’t know what you’re talking about…”
Although he reacted quickly, a few people still noticed.
The captain of the guard frowned, “Could it be that these people are Zhao Yu’s personal enemies?!”
