Hao Jian advanced slowly, a smile on his face as he t Zhou Yefu head-on, and they fought fiercely.
Zhou Yefu, the leader of Divine Tiger, was indeed formidable. He engaged in a fierce battle with Hao Jian for three hundred rounds, and it was too close to call. Even Hao Jian couldn't defeat him in a short ti.
However, after five minutes, Hao Jian suddenly seized a flaw in Zhou Yefu's defense and landed a heavy punch on his abdon, causing Zhou Yefu to grunt and almost kneel on the ground.
The onlookers were shocked. Had Zhou Yefu actually been overpowered?
Hao Jian sneered, "Zhou Yefu, it seems that staying in Huaxia wasn't a smart choice for you."
Having been abroad and experienced countless battles, as well as nurous life-and-death situations, his combat experience was particularly rich. While Zhou Yefu was strong, his combat experience paled in comparison to Hao Jian's.
The people of Divine Tiger were visibly disheartened, beginning to doubt whether Zhou Yefu was indeed inferior to Hao Jian.
"It's just a small advantage you've taken. Do you think you've won?" Zhou Yefu said viciously, his anger reaching its limits.
"What, are you angry from embarrassnt? If you can't accept it, just co on up, I'll beat you until you do!" Hao Jian beckoned Zhou Yefu with his fingers.
"Hao Jian!!" Zhou Yefu's eyes were about to split with rage as he roared, and his figure shot out like a bolt of lightning.
"Do you think I'm afraid of you?" Hao Jian snorted coldly, stomping on the floor and appearing right in front of Zhou Yefu.
The two n went straight for each other with no feints, just simple and brutal punches aid at one another.
"Smack! Smack!"
But just as their fists were about to collide, a figure stepped in front of them. Moon Goddess Jiang blocked the punches from both Zhou Yefu and Hao Jian with her hands, standing between them.
"Did you co here to help , or to cause trouble?" Moon Goddess Jiang asked in an icy tone, looking up at Hao Jian and Zhou Yefu.
Hao Jian shrugged and stepped back, but still couldn't resist taunting, "You're lucky, if it weren't for Moon Goddess Jiang, I would have beaten you into a dog today."
"You..." Zhou Yefu, flustered and wanting to fight back, was restrained by Moon Goddess Jiang.
"Captain Zhou, your orders have been conveyed, and we will adhere to them strictly. So please return," Moon Goddess Jiang said, her attitude indifferent.
"Moon Goddess, don't bla , this is a command from above, I had no choice," Zhou Yefu hastily explained, afraid that Moon Goddess Jiang would bear a grudge against her.
Moon Goddess Jiang simply waved her hand, unmoved, "Go back. We at Dragon Tooth will handle the rest."
Zhou Yefu opened his mouth as if to explain further, but ultimately said nothing, sighing helplessly before leaving with his n.
However, as he passed by Hao Jian, he said with a stern face, "You just wait, this isn't over!"
Hao Jian wasn't afraid, he chuckled, "Whenever your skin itches, just co to brother, I've been in the dog-beating business for twenty years—I guarantee you'll be satisfied!"
Zhou Yefu didn't continue to argue with Hao Jian and left with his n because he knew he was no match for Hao Jian's taunts.
Just then, Moon Goddess Jiang's phone suddenly rang with a completely unfamiliar number.
Moon Goddess Jiang frowned slightly and, after a mont's hesitation, she chose to answer.
"I am Moon Goddess Jiang."
"Captain Jiang, what a pleasure," ca Envy's seductive and affectionate voice from the other end.
"Who are you?" Moon Goddess Jiang had already guessed that the caller was the kidnapper.
"I'm from the rcenary Alliance, Envy, one of the Seven Sins under the War King," Envy introduced herself with a chuckle.
But Moon Goddess Jiang was not in the mood for such levity and snapped, "I'm not interested in who you are. I just want to know what you're up to."
"Captain Jiang, do you really not know what we want? You should be aware that you have taken sothing from our Alliance, which has left our king quite unhappy. And since you took our property, it's only natural we take sothing of yours," Envy said with a giggling laugh.
"My daughter is not a thing!" Moon Goddess Jiang roared, "What do you want exactly?"
"Return that genetic code to us, and we'll give your daughter back to you," Envy said, as if negotiating.
"That genetic code has already been reported to my superiors; I don't have it at all," Moon Goddess Jiang said anxiously. She wasn't trying to fend off Envy but was genuinely out of options, having already reported it up the chain.
Such items would surely not be allowed to remain in her possession by her superiors.
"Captain Jiang, aren't you lacking sincerity? You've taken our stuff, returning it is only proper. As long as you return the items to us, we'll let bygones be bygones—this is already quite magnanimous of us. If you can't even accept this condition, then we'll have no choice but to take your adorable daughter back to et the War King. Whether she lives or dies will then be up to him," Envy directly threatened.
"I understand, I will return that set of Genetic Codes to you," Moon Goddess Jiang said with a cold expression.
"That's more like it, I knew Captain Jiang was a reasonable person," Envy first smiled, then her voice suddenly turned chilly, "In three hours, bring that set of Genetic Codes to the Dongjing Entertainnt Center, I'll be waiting for you there. If I don't see you, or you don't have what I want in hand, then get ready to pick up your daughter's corpse!"
"Click!"
After finishing her sentence, she directly hung up the call, leaving Moon Goddess Jiang in a daze.
"Did you track the location?" Yu Jiayi rapidly asked one of the n.
"No need to look, it can't be traced," Hao Jian spoke up, knowing that the person was a capable lieutenant sent by the War King himself, it was impossible for them to be so foolish as to let them track their movents.
"Captain, we don't even have that set of Genetic Codes, how can we go save Xiaolu?" soone asked anxiously. It was clear the other party was after that set of Genetic Codes, but they didn't have it in their possession, so how could they carry out a trade?
Moon Goddess Jiang's expression also darkened to the extre, silent as if contemplating a strategy.
"Didn't you find that item? Can't you even replicate a copy?" Hao Jian frowned and couldn't help but ask. They weren't supposed to take the original; the higher-ups were clearly supposed to let her replicate a copy for Xiaolu's ransom.
"That was also the Ye Family's way of saying it—they fobbed off under the pretext of protecting secrets," Moon Goddess Jiang replied indifferently. She had long known the other party was after the Genetic Code and had requested to replicate that set of Genetic Codes, only to be rejected.
"Oh wow, there's a Ye Family for you!" Hao Jian laughed sowhat crazily. He made a note of this grudge!
In the past, he had always been the one looking for trouble with the Ye Family, but now the tables had turned, with the Ye Family continuously trying to trip him up.
It was at this mont that Hao Jian's brows furrowed and a plan ford in his heart, "It doesn't matter, even if we don't have that set of Genetic Codes, we can still trade with them. After all, they don't know whether we possess the Genetic Codes or not."
"But what if he discovers we don't have what they want, or wants to check the goods in advance? Wouldn't that put Xiaolu in danger?" Yu Jiayi's voice asked with worry.
"Don't worry, as long as we insist on a cash-on-delivery deal, they can't do much. I can tell they care a lot about this Genetic Code too, otherwise, they wouldn't have co all the way to Huaxia," Hao Jian said.
"Who are you calling goods? Who are you calling goods?" Moon Goddess Jiang was imdiately displeased and glared at Hao Jian as she asked.
Hao Jian suddenly gave a dry laugh, realizing his slip of the tongue: "That was just a taphor, don't be angry."
"A taphor? Why don't you use your mother for your taphor? Why not taphorize yourself? You're the goods; a downright cheap goody!" Moon Goddess Jiang said fiercely.
The expressions of everyone else were quite awkward, all looking down, at this mont unsure of what to say.
"Ahem..." Hao Jian coughed twice, then continued, "Actually, we have another advantage."
"What advantage?" Yu Jiayi couldn't help but ask.
"That would be ," Hao Jian, thumbing back towards himself, said, "They still don't know we have such a fierce piece on our side, so we can definitely catch them by surprise and strike unexpectedly. When Moon Goddess Jiang goes to pay the ransom, I'll take others to survey the surroundings and ensure everything is foolproof."
"So when do we set off?"
"Now, to get ready in advance. Their choice to push the ti back by three hours ans they're quite confident, they're not taking us seriously at all. We can take full advantage of their arrogance," Hao Jian declared.
No more words were needed; Moon Goddess Jiang and the team imdiately set off for Dongjing Shopping Center, while that place was already swarming with a sea of people.
At that mont, Moon Goddess Jiang's phone rang again—it was still Envy on the line, and she coldly commanded, "Strip, now!"
Moon Goddess Jiang's expression changed slightly. She was in the midst of a crowd, with people passing by constantly. Stripping here?
"Hurry up, or I'll kill your daughter!" Envy threatened.
Moon Goddess Jiang's expression shifted montarily, yet she chose to take responsibility, reaching to undo her clothes.
Hao Jian, who had an intercom installed by Moon Goddess Jiang, naturally heard what Envy had said as well, and his brows furrowed in a deep frown, his eyes barely concealing the murderous intent.
The other party was trying to toy with Moon Goddess Jiang, to regain the dignity they had once lost through her.
In no ti at all, Moon Goddess Jiang was down to just her underwear. Holding her phone, her gaze was icy and numb as she stared blankly ahead with an expressionless face.
"Wow, what's this for? A live show?"
"This chick is pretty hot, eh? Check out that ass, those big tits, tsk tsk tsk, if I could get a go at her, I'd be willing to shave ten years off my life."
