Chapter 917 Put Aside and Forgotten
Huang Tianqiang was uneasy. "Master Ma Jiu, it's still very dangerous inside. Please wait outside first until we've completely broken through the perimeter. Then you can go in!"
Master Ma Jiu shook his head decisively. "No, I will personally lead my men to kill our way in!"
He knew that by leading the charge into the battlefield, he could inspire his subordinates to fight valiantly, allowing them to press their advantage and storm the villa.
If they delayed any longer, and the Su family managed to find reinforcements, they would face even greater trouble!
Seeing that he couldn't persuade Master Ma Jiu, the others had no choice but to protect him, fearing he might encounter danger.
Master Ma Jiu donned his armor, brandished a gleaming steel saber, and charged into the fray.
At his instruction, those around him shouted, "The boss is here! Everyone, kill the enemy quickly!"
As soon as the words fell!
*Pfft—*
Suddenly, a subordinate who was fighting the enemy was struck in the chest with a saber. He immediately spat out a mouthful of blood and fell at Master Ma Jiu's feet with a thud. Upon closer inspection, his eyes were wide open in an unseeing stare.
Master Ma Jiu's expression changed as he saw his subordinate killed.
Someone beside him coughed. "Boss, this guy was too careless..."
Before he could finish speaking, a scream echoed!
Master Ma Jiu looked up sharply and saw one of his men with a saber plunged into his abdomen. The subordinate clutched the knife in his stomach, trembling with pain, veins bulging on his forehead.
He kicked the man, sending him sprawling to the ground.
"I killed this guy, why are you kicking him!"
"Damn it, whoever kills them, they're theirs!"
The two men from the opposing side nearly came to blows.
Master Ma Jiu and his men exchanged bewildered glances.
Did they think this was League of Legends, fighting over kill credit?
The previously listless provincial Su family security personnel suddenly stood up, charging fiercely and fighting with all their might.
They weren't listless; they were energized as if they'd been injected with stimulants!
On Master Ma Jiu's side, despite his personal presence boosting morale, it proved ineffective, and they were continuously pushed back...
This scene made Master Ma Jiu doubt everything. Had his appearance actually boosted the enemy's combat power?
...
In the grand hall, Chen Xuan sipped his tea, his expression calm and composed, as if everything was within his expectations.
"Brother Xuan, something terrible has happened!"
Suddenly, an anxious voice rang out.
Yang Chaotian rushed in as if his backside were on fire.
"What is it?"
Chen Xuan frowned and looked up at Yang Chaotian.
"Mr. Chen, Master Ma Jiu and his men are about to be defeated!" Yang Chaotian shouted.
"What? How could this happen?"
Chen Xuan slapped his thigh and shot up from his seat.
If others heard this good news, they would have been overjoyed, but Chen Xuan felt something was seriously wrong!
"This..." Yang Chaotian didn't know how to explain.
But Chen Xuan's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately understood. "Is it Murong Meng and Gao Chuohe?"
Yang Chaotian nodded with a wry smile and slowly said, "Miss Murong and Miss Gao led their people in a fierce assault, and it seems they even offered bounties. Whichever side kills more will receive significant rewards. Their men have gone bloodthirsty, and they've probably forgotten the mission you assigned them..."
Chen Xuan smacked his forehead, filled with regret.
He should have separated the two of them to guard different areas. Now that Murong Meng and Gao Chuohe were together, it was bound to cause trouble.
In fact, the reason Chen Xuan intentionally showed weakness was to trap Master Ma Jiu and his men, as he had another plan!
But now, with Murong Meng and Gao Chuohe acting like this, wasn't it disrupting his plans?
"Quickly go and inform them to proceed according to the plan. Don't ruin the grand scheme."
Chen Xuan said urgently.
"I'll notify them right away!"
Yang Chaotian gave a wry smile and turned to leave.
After Yang Chaotian left, Chen Xuan let out a wry smile and shook his head helplessly. "I hope this doesn't ruin the grand scheme!"
Outside the villa, Murong Meng and Gao Chuohe had been evenly matched at the beginning. However, Murong Meng had the advantage of the three elders of the Murong family, while Gao Chuohe only had Gao Guoqing, far inferior to the Murong family.
The Murong family now had a clear advantage in terms of the number of kills.
"Miss Gao, it seems I'm going to win this bet."
Murong Meng said proudly, her face beaming with triumph.
She wasn't a martial artist. Previously, she thought her family members who couldn't practice martial arts were useless and had been driven out of the family. She had always been resistant to martial arts, but now she finally understood why so many people were willing to learn them.
Winning a decisive victory was incredibly satisfying.
Gao Chuohe's face turned ashen. She had originally planned to trick Murong Meng into revealing the secrets between Murong Meng and Su Yunxi after winning the bet, but she hadn't expected things to turn out this way.
She deeply regretted not calling for more people!
No, she couldn't lose like this!
She gritted her teeth and took out her phone. "You wait, I'm calling for reinforcements!"
Murong Meng put her hands on her hips, unconcerned.
Go ahead and call. By the time your reinforcements arrive, these people might have already been wiped out.
What would be the point then?
Gao Chuohe called Old Master Gao. She asked him for reinforcements. Old Master Gao had always been very supportive of Chen Xuan becoming the Gao family's son-in-law, but unexpectedly, Old Master Gao said he was busy and couldn't send anyone, as the Gao family's men were already deployed.
Helpless, Gao Chuohe had to give up and could only order her men to continue the charge. She also rolled up her sleeves, preparing to join the fray!
"Miss Murong! Miss Gao!"
Just as Gao Chuohe was about to rush out, an anxious voice sounded from not far away.
Gao Chuohe immediately stopped and looked back, seeing Yang Chaotian rushing towards them in a panic.
"President Yang, why are you here?"
Gao Chuohe asked with a frown.
Before Yang Chaotian could speak, Murong Meng patted her chest and said proudly, "President Yang, don't worry, I promise to make them flee in disarray!"
Yang Chaotian wore a wry smile.
*Please don't make them flee in disarray, or the next mission won't be possible!*
He hurried to say, "Miss Gao, Miss Murong, Brother Xuan just sent word, asking you to proceed according to the original plan! Don't ruin the grand scheme!"
Upon hearing this, Murong Meng and Gao Chuohe's expressions changed.
It's over!
They were so caught up in their bet that they had completely forgotten the mission Chen Xuan had assigned them!
But Gao Chuohe then thought, this is a good thing! She wasn't at an advantage, so she quickly said, "President Yang, you see, we've forgotten about it. Don't worry, I'll order my people to stand down immediately!"
After speaking, Gao Chuohe immediately issued the command.
She glanced at Murong Meng. "Miss Murong, aren't you going to issue your orders?"
Murong Meng was reluctant, knowing she was on the verge of winning.
However, she understood priorities; Chen Xuan's affairs were more important. She nodded. "Alright, I'll order my people to withdraw..."
Then, Murong Meng also instructed her men to prepare to stand down. However, Murong Meng turned to Gao Chuohe and said, "However, our bet ends here. Later, we'll see who kills more people..."
Gao Chuohe: "......"
She hadn't expected Murong Meng to be so cunning and unwilling to give up.
Since she had agreed to the bet, she had to see it through, even if it meant tears. After all, she, Gao Chuohe, was someone who admitted defeat and kept her word.
