Ye Cangtian returned to the Dark Association branch after a temporary retreat plan was formulated for the Anti-Black Alliance.
He wanted to check on the progress of Xuan Sanqi's interrogation and what information had been obtained, and whether it would affect the Anti-Black Alliance's retreat, so he could plan his next move.
However, the cells in the Dark Association were empty, and even the guards were nowhere to be found.
It was clear that Xuan Sanqi had not sent the captured informants there for interrogation.
Soon, Ye Cangtian thought of a place: the secret chamber in Xuan Sanqi's home.
Firstly, he considered it the most secluded place.
Secondly, although the search operation was significant, only the Dark Association was involved. Therefore, it was unlikely to be sent to the Tiancan Tower.
After all, with many people involved, and given the relationship between Tiancan and Xuan Sanqi, it was necessary to proceed with caution.
With this in mind, Ye Cangtian returned to his room and summoned the guards who remained at the branch.
"I don't care what methods you use!"
"Call back all the guards who are currently searching the city!"
"Tell them that anyone who doesn't return this time, I will kill on sight!"
Ye Cangtian said coldly to the guards.
This was also his plan to facilitate the Anti-Black Alliance's retreat by recalling the searching guards.
"Lord Poxiao, Lord Xuan Sanqi is leading the brothers in the search. Wouldn't withdrawing everyone at this time disrupt Lord Xuan Sanqi's plan?"
The guard looked at Poxiao with difficulty. Although Poxiao was a Earth-level deacon, he would eventually leave.
If he conveyed such an order, Xuan Sanqi would likely not let him off in the future.
"Hmph!"
"My words are not to be repeated! I will bear all the consequences!"
"Remember, if I don't see the Dark Association guards within an hour, you will die!"
A killing intent flashed in Ye Cangtian's eyes, and he snorted coldly.
As the voice fell, the guard's face changed drastically, and beads of sweat began to roll down.
He realized that Lord Poxiao was not joking. If he didn't comply, he might lose his life.
Thinking of this, the guard immediately responded, turned around, and left the room.
Indeed!
Under Ye Cangtian's domineering coercion, most of the guards returned to the branch within an hour.
Although they were unwilling, Lord Poxiao had clearly become truly angry, and they dared not disobey.
In their opinion, Poxiao might hesitate if he had to kill Xuan Sanqi, but he would not bat an eye if he had to kill them.
Because there were no consequences!
An Earth-level deacon had the authority to kill guards who disobeyed orders.
Soon, Ye Cangtian appeared before the guards with Mandarava. He scanned the crowd but did not see Xuan Sanqi.
Ye Cangtian did not get angry; instead, a faint smile appeared on his face.
"Alright, we won't wait for those who haven't returned!"
"Everyone, I've called you back this time to take you to visit a place."
"As for what place, you'll know when you get there!"
Hearing his words, everyone looked at each other, and a look of anger gradually appeared on their faces.
They were all on duty, and capturing enemies would be a great achievement.
But Lord Poxiao had forcibly called them back, which was hindering their promotion and wealth!
Naturally, they were not happy!
However, Poxiao gave them no chance to question him. He directly led Mandarava through them and left the branch.
Everyone hesitated for a moment before finally following.
There was no choice; the other party's rank was too high. Even if the order was wrong, they had to obey and could only report it to their superiors afterward.
But if they disobeyed in person, Poxiao could kill them on the spot.
However, what they did not expect was that Ye Cangtian took them to visit Xuan Sanqi's residence.
Even if some of them had never been here before, they knew this was their superior's residence.
What were they doing here?
For a moment, everyone became restless, and a big question mark appeared in their minds simultaneously.
On the other side, Ye Cangtian did not offer any explanation. He and Mandarava walked straight in, ignoring the guards.
...
At this moment, screams of agony echoed from the secret chamber.
Xuan Sanqi, sitting in the lounge, showed a faint smile.
He was still very confident in the interrogation capabilities of the branch and believed that he would soon obtain the desired answers.
The reason he sent the captured informants to the secret chamber in his home for interrogation was entirely to avoid Poxiao and keep him completely uninformed.
As for those responsible for the interrogation, they were basically his confidants and could be trusted.
Moreover, since there were no secrets in the secret chamber, Xuan Sanqi was not worried about these people knowing its location.
"Report!"
While Xuan Sanqi was waiting for the interrogation results, the door to the lounge was pushed open.
A guard from his household rushed to Xuan Sanqi and said, "My lord, it's not good! Lord Poxiao has brought many guards and broken in!"
"Ah?"
Hearing this news suddenly, Xuan Sanqi was stunned.
His relationship with Poxiao was not good, but there was no need for Poxiao to storm his house and cause trouble, right?
Besides, where did those guards come from?
As soon as he thought of this, Xuan Sanqi's gaze changed, and he suddenly remembered something.
Poxiao must have gotten wind of something and specifically came to demand the captured informants. This was clearly a competition for credit!
If Poxiao took the people away, the main credit would go to Poxiao!
Thinking of this, Xuan Sanqi immediately got up and walked out angrily.
He couldn't let Poxiao claim credit for the people he had captured with so much effort!
"Poxiao! What exactly do you mean!"
As soon as he reached the hall, Xuan Sanqi saw Poxiao bringing people. Without a word, he stepped forward and questioned him!
Slap!
Before his voice even fell, Ye Cangtian swung his hand, hitting Xuan Sanqi heavily on the face and sending him flying!
Ugh...
All the guards were stunned watching the disheveled Xuan Sanqi.
It was the first time they had witnessed it, and they hadn't expected Poxiao to act so decisively.
"You..."
Feeling the burning sensation on his face, Xuan Sanqi was almost bursting with anger!
The previous humiliation by Poxiao had occurred in his office, where none of his subordinates were present. But now, with his subordinates all around, this was a complete loss of face.
How could he endure this!
However, before he could react, Ye Cangtian's cold snort reached him!
"Hmph!"
"Is this the attitude you should have when seeing me?"
As the voice came, Xuan Sanqi felt as if a fly was stuck in his throat, unable to utter a word.
After all, it was he who had publicly disrespected Poxiao first, so Poxiao's actions were justified.
Thinking this, Xuan Sanqi gritted his teeth and stepped forward, saying, "Greetings, Lord Poxiao. May I ask why you have brought so many guards to my home?"
"I heard your house is nicely decorated, so I brought people to visit. You don't mind, do you?" Ye Cangtian said with a slight smile.
"I do mind!"
"I mind very much!"
Xuan Sanqi replied impolitely, his face chilling as he said, "Your subordinate is not feeling well and does not wish to be disturbed. Are you satisfied with this explanation?"
