Luosheng sat on the ground beside him, fiddling with the communication device in his hand.
"What cargo are you transporting this time?"
Chen Fan had intended to ask casually, but Chu Feng, standing nearby, shot him a glare, as if Chen Fan harbored greedy intentions.
Tsk.
Unexpectedly, Luosheng replied without the slightest hesitation, "The Luo Sect is in the diamond business in Europa."
"The one being transported today is a raw diamond that hasn't been cut at all, with an estimated market value of around three billion."
Chen Fan raised an eyebrow. So many of them had come just to transport a single diamond?
He shook his head at Luosheng with a sigh. "If you had told me earlier, I could have come alone."
Chen Fan had initially assumed there would be heavy lifting involved, and unwilling to expend that effort, he hadn't stopped the Enforcement Hall members from accompanying them.
"Heh! You, alone?"
Chu Feng's tone was filled with mockery. "If you had gone to the East District alone, no one would have been there to collect your corpse."
"Do you think this place is somewhere you can just come and go as you please!"
"If it weren't for us today, could you have reached the harbor safely?"
Alright.
You talk a lot, so everything you say is right.
Chen Fan calmly withdrew his gaze and leaned against a windstone, feigning sleep.
He showed no sign of the impending battle he would soon be involved in.
More than ten minutes later, the technician's expression turned somewhat grim as he spoke, "I've made contact with the other party."
"But according to him, the harbor guard is exceptionally tight today, and we..."
Chu Feng took a deep breath, knowing a tough fight was imminent.
He spread out the harbor map before them, highlighting several locations. "These are the original outposts set by the Vic Party. Second squad, you will be responsible for distracting their attention. First squad will go with me to receive the goods."
Chu Feng looked up at the setting sun, then turned his gaze solemnly to the few brothers sitting beside him. "No matter what, at least give us ten minutes to receive the goods."
"We'll gather at this gate in fifteen minutes for our retreat."
He had already made all the arrangements.
Luosheng nodded and then nodded at Chen Fan beside him. "You'll be with me in the first squad."
Chen Fan glanced at the terrain map and shook his head. "No."
"You all go about your business, I won't tag along for the excitement."
Chu Feng let out a light laugh at this. "It seems you're sensible enough not to cause us trouble."
Luosheng pondered for a moment and felt that this was indeed the best course of action.
He nodded and placed the communication device he was holding into Chen Fan's hand. "Be careful on your own, and call me if anything happens."
Chen Fan casually acknowledged.
Meanwhile, Chu Feng and his group were already fully equipped and descended the mountain with solemnity.
Before long, Chen Fan was the only one left on the mountain path.
He sighed and stood up from his spot.
The current situation at the harbor was far more complicated than they had imagined.
With just a slight probe of his mental power, he could detect quite a few high-level cultivators.
For the second squad members to deal with them...
It was rather difficult.
Chen Fan took out the Golden Silk Cicada Robe, concealed his aura, and then headed towards the outposts that Chu Feng had indicated.
...
Of all this, Chu Feng and the others were unaware.
The first squad consisted of only eight people, all seasoned members of the Enforcement Hall.
Chu Feng led them, carefully avoiding the crowds, as they stealthily moved towards the meeting point. However—
Luosheng stared with a grim expression at a team of over twenty people not far ahead. "This shouldn't be!"
Why would the Vic Party have people appearing near the containers?
And why were they standing in their direct path, as if expecting them?
Luosheng's eyes narrowed. "They must have received information in advance."
It seemed that within the Enforcement Hall, there were indeed people like Dai Wei.
He sneered, drawing the small knife he carried. "Since we can't avoid it, we'll face them head-on."
Chu Feng nodded. "Prepare—"
"Boom!"
A thunderous roar suddenly erupted from not far away!
The sound was so immense that it caused their eardrums to ache.
What was happening?
Before Chu Feng and his group could react, the twenty-odd members of the Vic Party's team immediately changed their expressions. "Is that our Vic Party's command post at the harbor?"
"Someone blew up our command post?!"
"Such powerful firepower! Did we receive faulty intel!? They, the Luo Sect, didn't come here to receive goods, but instead used this opportunity to attack the command post while our forces were dispersed?"
The faces of the Vic Party members were extremely grim; they could no longer linger here!
"Let's go! We're going there!"
Their team retreated with great speed.
Meanwhile, Chu Feng and his group were still dazed.
"Did the second squad cause this commotion?"
Luo Yi shook his head. "They shouldn't have such powerful firepower."
There wasn't much time for Chu Feng and the others to ponder.
By the time this group reached the command post and discovered it was a ruse to lure them away, they would immediately return!
Chu Feng waved his hand. "Let's go! We're going to get the goods!"
As their steps began to move, two more colossal explosions rent the air!
Brilliant sparks seemed to ignite in the sky.
Chu Feng shook his head resolutely. "No, this couldn't be the second squad."
This was also the thought of everyone in the first squad.
With such a commotion, even if all members of the Enforcement Hall were deployed, they couldn't achieve this!
"The Vic Party has been overbearing in the East District for years, angering many. It's very likely their rivals who made the move."
Luosheng remembered Chen Fan had divined for him before they departed.
He nodded in secret.
Indeed, things were proceeding smoothly.
They were directly benefiting as unexpected observers.
