Chapter 346: Wouldn’t Dare To Say A Word In Protest

“I think, with Miss Gu by their side, they only need to focus on one thing—getting stronger.” Yi Tiao quickly added on to Yi Tong’s statement. “Miss Gu should be able to handle the rest of the matters herself.”

“Will something happen to the Peacekeepers if things go on at this rate?” asked Yi Tong with a surprised expression.

They shouldn’t be relying too much on her all the time, right? What would happen if the day comes when Gu Xiqiao won’t be able to oversee their operations constantly?

“Your worries are in futility,” responded Yi Bing. “Perhaps you have forgotten about the commander of the Peacekeepers?”

“Commander?” Yi Tong was puzzled. Why didn’t he know about this? Who was the commander?

“You think Luo Wenlang, the founder of Peace Manor is just there for show? That man’s intellect is arguably on par with that of Miss Gu’s. You two wait and see for yourselves. The men Miss Gu recruits are all masters in their own game.” Yi Bing turned towards Alang.

He wondered what powers were hidden within this newly-recruited member of the Peacekeepers.

Perhaps out of exhaustion, the Peacekeepers sat down on the floor and were chatting away casually. Yi Bing overheard Wu Hongwen chatting with his mates about war tactics when he looked over.

Then, he heard him say the following, “Xiao Yun, you are quite powerful. From now on, we’ll try to immobilize the enemy, which is when you’ll use all your might against him. We’ll strike fear into their hearts whenever they hear about us in the future.”

Xiao Yun looked down at the injury on her arm, which was healing up gradually. Quietly, she mumbled her reply, “Fine.”

Fine? Nothing about this conversation sounds fine! Yi Bing was at a loss for words. Silently, he turned away, not wanting to hear more about their morbid discussion.

“Say, where’s Xixi and Dog Feed?” Wu Hongwen suddenly realized that Xixi and Dog Feed were nowhere to be seen after the battle had ended. Going by how events would play out in the past, those two should’ve been receiving praise from their fellow team members by now. Why did they leave so soon today?

He looked around, only to find his men shake their heads at him, an indication that they too, had no idea where those two were.

Wu Hongwen spun around once but saw no signs of Xixi nor Dog Feed. Instead, he saw Alang, who was standing next to Jiji. His eyes lit up and he got onto his feet immediately. Walking up to Alang, he asked, “Are you the new member they’re talking about?”

Alang’s mind had yet to register Wu Hongwen’s words but he had already started nodding unconsciously. Recognizing that this was the person whom he battled the giant serpent alongside, he muttered under his breath, “I think so?”

Alang was shocked to discover that he’d have such powerful comrades.

“I’m Wu Hongwen from the 1st squad. Still, I couldn’t help but notice how weak you were.” Wu Hongwen patted his shoulder. “You can’t stay like this forever. You’d get crushed to death when we get back to the Ancient Martial Arts World.”

Wu Hongwen’s words reminded Alang of what Yi Tong had said previously. He now understood perfectly what Yi Tong was trying to tell him. What a terrifying organization he was getting into unknowingly. But, many must’ve envied him to be able to do so.

Alang no longer possessed the sense of self-satisfaction he had from the beginning. That was because he was reminded of his place in the hierarchy upon seeing how insanely powerful the rest of his peers were.
