“Miss Tangyue is right. A man like him is unfit to be a Councilman, and he’s pursuing a higher position? If we just treat it like nothing happened, wouldn’t we put a lot more places like Wanggui Town in danger?” Jiang Shaoxu said.

“Luo Mian made mistakes over and over again in the past, throwing so many people in Hangzhou under the bus. There’s no way we will turn a blind eye to this. Just go ahead and let Zhu Qi murder us. This island is pretty isolated. You can ask Zhu Qi to take down Mu Bai and Mo Fan and execute us all. Wouldn’t it be simpler that way? No one is going to find out about the scandal ever, and it won’t obstruct Councilman Nan’s plan to win the election!” Tangyue proposed.

“Oh my, Miss Tangyue, can’t you calm down a little? There’s still a chance to settle the conflict, but everything is done for if we’re dead. Look at Lingling, she’s so cute and young. We shouldn’t bring her into this mess. We should be more lenient for her sake!” Zhao Manyan quickly countered.

“He’s right, he’s absolutely right, things aren’t that bad... Let’s just treat this as a vacation and relax a little,” Wu Jiao agreed swiftly.

“Speaking of which, does anyone hear a strange noise?” Chen Shuo suddenly looked around cautiously.

“All I can hear is the annoying cries of the birds,” Wu Jiao replied.

“Shouldn’t the cries be on the outside? Why did it feel like there are echoes of them inside the building?” another senior enforcer asked.

Everyone immediately fell silent and looked around them.

The building was similar to a stadium. The corners where the light could not reach were in complete darkness. There were eight paths to the hall they were in: some were walkways to other buildings, while others were corridors to the fields. Some of them crossed long distances, and even went up and down a hill along the way, but they were fully surrounded by a net of metallic gravel that prevented the Manta Ray Evil Birds from coming any closer.

Rapid dull knocks could be heard coming from the third and seventh corridors. Chen Shuo was familiar with the building. He quickly went over to turn on the switch for the lights. They had started the generator prior to coming into the building.

Rows of incandescent lamps hanging on the ceiling lit up. Large groups of creatures had already filled up the corridors. They were pouring into the main hall like a tide of black muddy water. Countless bat-like creatures were running amok in the hall. Their eyes instantly fixed on the group of humans.

“How did they get in here!?” Chen Shuo was astounded.

Chen Shuo had quickly switched sides after Zhu Qi and his men showed up. He had even gone to check on the emergency outpost’s perimeter, making sure the Manta Ray Evil Birds had no chance of breaking through the net. He had even started the generator to provide the building with electricity, so that the group could stay comfortably in it for the necessary five days, despite the lack of Wi-Fi. However, the Manta Ray Evil Birds had broken into the building before the first day was even over!

“Chen Shuo, you’re just as useless as you were back then! Go and check on the rest of the corridors and make sure the place is secured before more of those creatures come in here!” Wu Jiao snarled.

“I can’t do it on my own!” Chen Shuo said.

“You three, go with him!” Wu Jiao assigned three senior enforcers to follow Chen Shuo.

The rest of the enforcers were using their magic to eliminate the Manta Ray Evil Birds that had broken into the hall. They had plenty of space to fight the creatures. However, Wu Jiao had specifically warned everyone not to use spells that were overly destructive, as they might destroy the whole building.

The emergency outpost was sturdy and the buildings were mixed with the metallic gravel, but they were not necessarily indestructible!

“Brother Wu Jiao, you and your men might have trouble fending off so many of these creatures off. Quick, get rid of the Seal for us and we’ll lend you a hand. It’s a good start for us to be on friendly terms, don’t you think?” Zhao Manyan spoke up.

Wu Jiao glanced at Zhao Manyan with a do-you-take-me-for-an-idiot look.

“Keep an eye on them, make sure nothing happens to them,” Wu Jiao told Li Dong.

“Of course I’m going to keep a good eye on them, but it’s not my fault if the creatures overrun us and take someone away.” Li Dong glanced at Lingling. It was obvious what he was implying.

“Li Dong, if you dare let that happen, even if you hide in your Dali Clan, Mo Fan will still drag you out and burn you alive in front of your whole clan!” Tangyue declared coldly.

Li Dong harrumphed coldly, yet he did not respond to her words.

He had heard of Mo Fan’s name too. He was acting disdainfully on the surface, but he was actually quite scared on the inside. That Mo Fan was indeed capable of doing such a reckless thing. Even the Mu Clan would not be able to protect him!

“Mo Fan doesn’t even have to do it. Her grandfather is the Old Clergyman of the Holy Judgment Court. If he learns what happened to his granddaughter, he’s going to feed the whole Dali Clan to the creatures in the ocean,” Jiang Shaoxu said.

Li Dong’s back soon broke out in cold sweat upon hearing those words.

No one except Zhao Xiaotian from the Dali Clan could not afford to offend anyone in their group, considering their backgrounds. Therefore, they could not cross the line until they were able to silence them once and for all. It was the main reason why Wu Jiao kept advising Zhu Qi to remain calm, even after he lost his son.

“Sir, I think I saw someone coming into the building. It was the Ice Mage who was on the north of the mountain previously,” a senior enforcer reported to Li Dong.

“Humph, it must be Mu Bai. He’s been getting a lot of attention recently!” Li Dong snorted.

Once Zhu Qi took care of Mo Fan and they got rid of Mu Bai, everything would be under their control!

“What do you say?” Li Dong glanced at Wu Jiao.

“Take him down at all costs. It’s easier to control things when we are making the calls!” Wu Jiao was a smart man. He knew the importance of taking down the rest of the group who were still on the loose. They would then be able to decide if they were going to settle it the gentle way or the rough way!

Li Dong nodded. He did not like to be in a passive position, either. These people were untouchable because of their backgrounds, but if they did not behave themselves and pushed too much, they would have to use some extreme measures. Even a dog would jump over a wall when panicking... hang on, these people were supposed to be the dogs instead!
