Chapter 512: Rescue – 3

Shielding Fu Zhi behind his back, Gu Yanqi said, “The Gu Family and the Li Family have never done anything wrong to you. I’m sure you know that the reason you guys have pushed us to a corner is your weapons and manpower. As long as the Li Family’s Shadow Corps are here, you will have no possibility of winning.

“Besides, it will not do you any good if the news of you ambushing us at the Lucky Cloud Pavilion gets out, so how about we make a deal? No matter who’s paying for you guys to come, we are willing to pay ten times that price for you to cancel your plans.”

“You’ve never done anything wrong to us? Cancel our plans?” the man sneered coldly. “I can’t believe that you’re such a naive person, Young Master Gu. Do you have any idea how many people from Phantom Lord were killed by Li Nanli during his mission in Country F? Li Nanli is only second to Shen Cizhou in our list of enemies that must be killed. Also, since we accepted the order, we have naturally thought of a way out.”

In other words, it was out of the question.

Gu Yanqi frowned.

“I remember that there is a relevant saying in your country...” Mark said. “An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth.”

Mark ran his fingers across the gun in the holster. Gu Yanqi hastily pulled Fu Zhi and fell back. “Think about it, Mark! If you kill us here, you will be living in fear of being hunted down by the Li Family and the Gu Family for the rest of your life! Do you really want that to happen?”

Mark ignored Gu Yanqi and fixed his eyes on the woman behind him. Under the light, he saw that the woman’s face was dirty, but her eyes were as bright as the stars in the night sky.

‘So she’s Li Nanli’s girlfriend? Interesting.’

A cruel smile danced across his lips when this thought popped into his mind. He rolled his eyes in their sockets and said, “How about this? I know you don’t want to die, so I will give you a chance. Let’s play a game. If you win, I will let one of you live.”

“Captain! Boss said we should get rid of them as soon as possible!”

“Yeah, right! These people are as cunning as foxes. The two of them have killed many of our brothers, so who knows what kind of tricks they still have up their sleeves!”

“Boss ordered us to kill them right away!”

After all, they knew how tricky their mission was. Li Nanli had been able to cause them some losses although he had only brought one team with him, so if they let him run away this time... they did not think they would be able to handle Li Nanli’s revenge.

“Silence! I know what I’m doing, and you guys just need to follow my orders!” Mark turned around and snarled, causing the crowd behind him to fall silent. Then, he spun his head back and fixed his eyes on Fu Zhi. He licked his lips and said, “What do you think? Are you up to the challenge?”

Gu Yanqi frowned.

He knew Mark must be up to no good.

Just as he’d expected, Mark said, “Let’s have a fight. No weapons, just with our fists.

“If you defeat me, one of you will live. As for who will live, that will be up to you guys. Of course, you can rest assured. No one will interfere while the fight is going on.”

Truth be told, anyone who did not know Mark and met him for the first time would think that he was just an honest, simple man. However, what they did not know was that behind that deceitful appearance of his hid a cruel heart.
