Sakata Chong, seeing Shangguan Zhongtang issue orders before the appointed time, was somewhat surprised.
However, Sakata Chong said nothing more.
Su Yang had previously said to keep Shangguan Zhongtang alive, so Sakata Chong could not kill him directly.
Once the battle began, Sakata Chong would have to act as well.
They were inside the house, and the situation outside was not entirely clear. Seeing Shangguan Zhongtang with a triumphant smile on his face, Sakata Chong slowly approached him.
Just as Sakata Chong was about to restrain Shangguan Zhongtang, Mo Yu stopped Sakata Chong from the other side.
"You!"
Mo Yu was restrained by Sakata Chong, his face turning red with anger, unable to speak as he glared at Sakata Chong.
Shangguan Zhongtang immediately noticed the situation. He was pushed by Mo Yu and turned to see Sakata Chong restraining Mo Yu.
In an instant, Shangguan Zhongtang understood what was happening.
"Sakata Chong!" Shangguan Zhongtang shouted, pointing at Sakata Chong.
"What are you doing?! I paid you!"
Seeing that he had been exposed, Sakata Chong dropped all pretense and said, "Paid me? The money you gave me is less than half of the deposit from Boss Su. Consider your money compensation for the disappearance of my two forces."
Saying this, Sakata Chong prepared to finish Mo Yu.
But what Sakata Chong didn't know was that although Mo Yu was just a butler, he had been trained since childhood.
So, at this moment, Mo Yu was desperately struggling.
Mo Yu was only in his thirties, while Sakata Chong was nearing fifty, creating a significant disparity in strength.
Soon, to Sakata Chong's surprise, Mo Yu actually broke free.
"Master, be careful!"
As soon as he broke free from Sakata Chong, Mo Yu stood in front of Shangguan Zhongtang to protect him.
Shangguan Zhongtang was still processing Sakata Chong's previous statement.
"Boss Su? Su Yang?" Shangguan Zhongtang was shocked.
"You're Su Yang's man? How could you..."
Shangguan Zhongtang had been betrayed before, but he never expected that someone from Sang Country would be so indifferent to loyalty and betray him.
Seeing that he was exposed, Sakata Chong became defiant and said, "How could I not? Don't your Long Country people betray each other? Besides, Boss Su approached me for cooperation first and gave me a lot of money. Your meager offerings, I really don't care about."
"Ten million!" Shangguan Zhongtang roared.
Regardless of anything else, ten million was not a small sum, especially for Shangguan Zhongtang at this moment. He had prepared so much, given many gifts to his friends, to achieve this current strength.
After giving ten million to Sakata Chong, Shangguan Zhongtang's entire fortune would be gone.
Yet Sakata Chong still called it meager offerings...
This infuriated Shangguan Zhongtang.
Looking at Sakata Chong before him, the veins on Shangguan Zhongtang's forehead bulged.
Then, suddenly, Shangguan Zhongtang remembered something and immediately looked out the window. Sakata Chong's men, who were hidden among Shangguan Zhongtang's forces, were now killing Shangguan Zhongtang's men.
This sudden change caught many of Shangguan Zhongtang's men off guard. In just a few minutes of fighting, Shangguan Zhongtang's forces suffered heavy losses.
Shangguan Zhongtang felt his vision darken. His phone kept ringing; it was likely people reporting the situation.
Shangguan Zhongtang looked at Sakata Chong, trying to control his emotions, and said, "How much did he give you? Tell me, and I'll give you twice that amount. Give me some time, and tell your men to stop immediately!"
Sakata Chong knew Shangguan Zhongtang was running out of money; ten million was his limit. He sneered at Shangguan Zhongtang and said, "Boss Su offered ten billion."
"What?!"
Seeing Shangguan Zhongtang's reaction, Sakata Chong suddenly found it amusing.
Money truly made the world go round...
"Boss Su offered ten billion. I know you can't even come up with a hundred million..."
Shangguan Zhongtang was shocked by Su Yang's wealth, but at this moment, he had to control Sakata Chong.
"Don't say anymore. I'll give it to you, I'll give you everything. Make your men stop."
Hearing Shangguan Zhongtang's words, Sakata Chong scoffed and said, "Shangguan Zhongtang, you don't even have a hundred million. Even if you could give me twenty billion right now, I would never help you."
"Why?!" The blow of betrayal almost drove Shangguan Zhongtang mad.
"Don't you love money? I'll give it to you! Attack Su Yang now!" Shangguan Zhongtang roared at Sakata Chong, his eyes turning red.
Sakata Chong shook his head. "It's not that I have no loyalty, but I have no loyalty to you. I have some acquaintance with Su Yang's father. Helping Su Yang now is to compensate for the twenty-odd years that Su Yang's father has been neglected."
"What?" Shangguan Zhongtang was completely bewildered. "What are you talking about? Can you speak human language?"
"If you don't understand, then forget it. Anyway, I'm going to capture you now."
As he spoke, Sakata Chong walked towards Shangguan Zhongtang.
Meanwhile, Shangguan Zhongtang's phone kept ringing. Shangguan Zhongtang knew he needed to control the situation. Seeing Sakata Chong's unyielding stance, he gave up on negotiating with him.
"Mo Yu, take care of him."
After speaking, Shangguan Zhongtang picked up his phone and walked aside to answer it.
"Commander, Sakata Chong's men have rebelled! There are other Sang Country people pressing towards the coastline. The situation is very unfavorable for us. What should we do now?"
Shangguan Zhongtang's eyes darkened upon hearing this.
He had expected Su Yang to have a backup plan, but he never imagined it would be like this.
At this moment, Shangguan Zhongtang desperately wanted to use his own backup plan, but as a commander with decades of experience and high status, he was unwilling to give up so quickly.
Gritting his teeth, Shangguan Zhongtang said, "All hands, kill Sakata Chong's men, board the ships, and begin naval combat!"
Shangguan Zhongtang made several phone calls while Sakata Chong and Mo Yu confronted each other.
"You are no match for me," Mo Yu said to Sakata Chong.
Sakata Chong pursed his lips; he had already realized this when Mo Yu broke free earlier.
At this point, Sakata Chong had no other choice.
He glanced at Shangguan Zhongtang and Mo Yu, then broke through the door and fled.
"Master, should we pursue?"
Shangguan Zhongtang had just hung up the phone. Looking in the direction Sakata Chong had fled, he pursed his lips and said, "Not yet, but this man must die.
The current situation is very unfavorable for us. Let's get to the ships first; we have more strength at sea."
