The sweetness of two, the sorrow of one.
Xiao Longyang's mood, after reuniting with his brothers, was torn apart by that explosion. Emu Xi Ai Ang.
"Xiao Longyang, is this all the strength you have?"
"To possess the strength of a Grandmaster at such a young age, not to join my Zhao clan, wouldn't that be a waste of your martial talent."
"Xiao Hai, let him die. What are you recruiting for? Besides, he refused my Zhao clan last time."
"That's right, he refused my Zhao clan once, and my Zhao clan will not give a second chance."
The four Grandmasters let out cackling laughter, causing Zhao Yunhai's lips to twitch.
Could it be because his side was the villain?
He looked at the four clan elders with kind smiles, yet they let out such laughter.
And Xiao Longyang, surrounded by the four, appeared to be struggling. If it were merely one Grandmaster, he might have had a chance to fight.
But now, four Grandmasters were beyond Xiao Longyang's limit.
Xiao Longyang indeed had a backup plan; he could escape at a certain cost.
He had learned the profound meaning of "Carefree Wandering."
Zhao Yunhai naturally knew Xiao Longyang's backup plan, as Carefree Wandering was better than his own.
However, his brothers had died tragically in that explosion. This hatred made him forcibly abandon the thought.
"We have no enmity, why are you trying so hard to deal with me?"
"Also, you promised to tell me the truth. Does your Zhao clan intend to go back on its word?"
"Esteemed clan elders, please stop."
With Zhao Yunhai's words, the four Grandmasters immediately stopped and spread out, sealing off Xiao Longyang's escape routes.
"Wait for me here." Zhao Yunhai asked Yang Hui to wait where she was and walked forward alone.
"Xiao Hai, it's dangerous."
A Grandmaster clan elder, seeing him approach Xiao Longyang, quickly reached out to stop him.
"Clan elder, I know what I'm doing."
Zhao Yunhai gently pushed away the clan elder's hand and walked straight ahead.
"Aren't you afraid I'll take you hostage, or are you just too confident in your own strength?"
Xiao Longyang knew Zhao Yunhai was a Grandmaster, but he was confident that even with Grandmaster strength, the latter would not be his match.
Zhao Yunhai looked at Xiao Longyang and slowly said.
"I have always kept my word. The truth of that year was simply that you blocked some people's financial path."
"The real culprits who dealt with you were the Black Hand Corporation of the United States. Your Asura Hall took too much of their business."
"Did all of you in the Zhao clan know this beforehand?" Xiao Longyang stared at Zhao Yunhai with cold, gloomy eyes.
He was now directing his anger at Zhao Yunhai, thinking that if the Zhao clan had given a warning, the Asura Hall would not have suffered such a fate.
The orders that the Zhao clan had previously placed with the Asura Hall were perfectly completed. When the Asura Hall encountered trouble, the Zhao clan actually turned a blind eye.
Black Hand Corporation, Xiao Longyang silently remembered the name of this company.
"Why didn't you notify us? Our previous cooperation was going well, wasn't it?"
Xiao Longyang's eyes, filled with hatred, questioned him loudly.
"Why?" Zhao Yunhai thought Xiao Longyang's brain was faulty and pointed at his head, saying, "Where is your brain?"
"Although we have no enmity, it doesn't mean our intelligence is free. And didn't your Asura Hall refuse our Zhao clan's recruitment?"
"Then why should my Zhao clan help you!"
"Just based on our previous transactions? You must understand that once the goods and money are settled, my Zhao clan doesn't owe your Asura Hall a single cent."
Zhao Yunhai chuckled sarcastically.
"Aren't you very capable? The Black Hand Corporation has over fifty thousand subordinates. I'm very curious how you plan to get revenge?"
Xiao Longyang's mind flashed with the image of that foolish woman, Zhu Que, and his heart was instantly cut like a knife.
Three years. She waited for me for three years. We just met and are now separated by death.
I hate this so much!
"Cut the grass and remove the roots. I believe your Asura Hall doesn't understand this principle."
"Still going with that nonsense about not harming wives and children, you'll be finished sooner or later."
Zhao Yunhai was talking so much because he wanted to turn Xiao Longyang into his pawn. If the Black Hand Corporation could be eliminated, his mother's business would become even more prosperous.
His mother's business would eventually be passed on to him, and after the Black Hand Corporation was gone, he could also extend his company, Tiangong, overseas.
The profits left vacant by the Black Hand would be enough to sustain Tiangong for a considerable time.
This was an opportunity.
From the moment he saw the information about Xiao Longyang's enemy, he had been planning for this moment.
Hatred was a powerful thing.
It could make one go mad, lose reason, and do outrageous things.
The protagonist?
No need for him here. Where else should he be used?
Protagonists are troublemakers. Where troublemakers go, everyone understands.
"Four Grandmasters. With your Grandmaster strength alone, can you escape?"
Zhao Yunhai intended to use the protagonist as a great contributor to his territorial expansion. Not even Jesus could stop him.
"Heh heh... Whether I can escape or not isn't up to you."
Xiao Longyang knew that with four Grandmasters present, his plan to kill Zhao Yunhai had no chance of success.
"The Zhao clan has many people, but I am in the dark, and you are in the light. I'll see if your Zhao clan can guard against a thief for a hundred days."
Xiao Longyang's inner energy surged like a torrent, and his figure turned into a blur, using the Dragon Slide technique to try and escape.
But Zhao Yunhai had already anticipated which movement technique Xiao Longyang would use to escape.
This was the Dragon Slide technique from Carefree Wandering, a supreme movement technique from its later chapters.
"Where do you think you're going."
The four Grandmasters were not mere decorations. The moment Xiao Longyang unleashed all his inner energy to try and escape, they immediately attacked.
"Get out of the way!" Xiao Longyang roared, his fists transforming into palms, directly repelling one of the Grandmaster's attacks.
In that instant, Xiao Longyang's speed increased by a notch, turning into a black streak and shooting forward.
"Damn it, he escaped."
The clan elder, temporarily repelled by Xiao Longyang, exclaimed in surprise, completely not expecting that Xiao Longyang's palm strike could push him back.
"Chase." The four of them didn't notice that Xiao Hai had disappeared.
The protagonist's power lay in his explosive strength in critical moments.
Xiao Longyang definitely had the potential to break through to the Grandmaster level from the Mortal Grandmaster stage in a life-or-death crisis.
But Xiao Longyang didn't know he was the protagonist. Of course, Zhao Yunhai wouldn't give him that chance.
"Xiao Longyang, where are you trying to run to?"
Just as Xiao Longyang let out a cold sneer, a voice came from beside him, startling him into looking over.
"Zhao Yunhai, you can actually keep up with my speed."
Xiao Longyang's surprised voice became sharp.
"Carefree Wandering, Dragon Slide technique. It truly lives up to its reputation as one of the top movement techniques."
Zhao Yunhai was also using it for the first time. Xiao Longyang needed to unleash his full power to achieve this speed, but he didn't.
"You're trying to trick me." Xiao Longyang didn't believe him, changing his hand seals and launching a bizarre claw attack at him.
