Chapter 383: Ma Tianlong’s Surrender

Just then, a swarm of drones suddenly flew in from the distance, heading straight for the villa.

Evidently, Chen Qingdi’s takedown of the man operating the mechanical demolition arm had ignited the collective fury of the Ghost Doctor Sect.

Unable to eliminate them through normal means, they had resorted directly to a drone decapitation strike.

Chen Qingdi’s brow furrowed. ’Are they picking on me because they think I don’t have any drones?’ he thought.

He turned to the bodyguard beside him. "Qian Laoliu, get our drone swarm over here and wipe those bastards out!"

Qian Laoliu had taken over Chen Yuan’s former duties and was now fully proficient.

This bodyguard didn’t just fight and kill; he also had to operate all sorts of complex machinery and be able to handle any sudden emergency.

He made a phone call and reported his location.

A short while later, someone remotely piloting their drones launched them into the air in a hurry.

Although the drones of the Ghost Sect weren’t equipped with firearms, they carried cases for Hidden Weapons that could fire poison needles. When flying at extremely low altitudes, they were master assassins.

Qian Laoliu glanced at Chen Qingdi with great concern. "Boss, what’s our play?"

Chen Qingdi chuckled. "Ours may not have Hidden Weapons, but they’re tough and cheap. Just ram those bastards!"

Qian Laoliu gave a simple command, and his drones shot forward as if they were on steroids, ramming into the enemy drones with reckless abandon.

Each collision resulted in mutual destruction. The Ghost Doctor Sect’s drones were expensive and powerful; every one they lost was a significant blow.

Chen Qingdi’s drones, on the other hand, cost only a tenth of the enemy’s. Their materials were cheap, and they were tough and durable.

While playing this game of bumper cars with the enemy, sometimes one of their drones would even take out two enemy drones before being destroyed.

As the balance of power shifted, the operator remotely piloting the Ghost Doctor Sect’s drones felt his insides clench.

’Fuck, what kind of opponent did I run into? They fight like they have a death wish! Are they even going to let us live?’

While operating the drones, he pleaded with headquarters.

"Sect Leader, what should we do? I think these bastards have all gone crazy!"

The Sect Leader was also aware of the situation. He was grinding his teeth so loudly that anyone who didn’t know better would think a mouse had run out looking for food.

"Is this Chen Qingdi really that loaded? I will kill him!"

The drone operator was about to cry.

"Whether you kill him or not is a problem for later! The issue now is that our drones are about to be completely wiped out!"

"Are you an idiot?"

The Sect Leader suddenly flew into a rage.

"If you don’t order a retreat immediately, you’ll compensate for today’s losses!"

The operator said, feeling deeply wronged.

"Sir, you were the one who initiated this decapitation strike. You’re the one who forbade a retreat. How can you blame me now that things have gone wrong?"

The Sect Leader snorted. "Answer me, who is the leader of the Ghost Doctor Sect?"

The operator replied aggrievedly, "It’s you, Yamano Akio!"

"You imbecile! So it’s only right that you pay, isn’t it?"

After the other party cursed him, the operator swore an oath in his heart.

’Sakura person, if I hadn’t been poisoned by you, who would be willing to sell their life for you? You want to execute me? You want to make me pay? Fine! I’ll tell Chen Qingdi all your secrets right now! Let’s see how you, you old bastard, can still run wild in the Dragon Country!’

Just then, a good friend suddenly contacted him.

"Bro, you have to run! The Sect Leader has given the order for your execution!"

He acted decisively, quickly running to the rooftop. Using a password he knew, he summoned a firefighting and rescue drone.

A fully-sealed seat was suspended beneath the drone. Once the man was settled inside, he pressed a button on the remote, and the drone lifted into the air.

By the time the assassins from the Mysterious Sect arrived in his room, they found it long since empty.

Not only had he fled, but he had also taken the hard drive containing all the secrets of the Ghost Shifting Sect.

Hearing this news, Yamano Akio flew into a thunderous rage.

"After him!"

At that moment, Dr. Kala, the Left Guardian of the Ghost Shifting Sect, came over.

"Sect Leader, the application for our drones has been locked by the guy who ran away. Right now, no one but him can command those drones to take off!"

"What?! Why did this happen?"

Dr. Kala shook his head. "You have to understand, that operator is the number one hacker in Dragon Country. Back in the day, he was ostracized by his fellow apprentices and had no choice but to cooperate with us. He helped us develop these special drones, but he never licensed the patent to us."

"Ma Tianlong!"

Yamano Akio, Sect Leader of the Ghost Doctor Sect, spat out the operator’s name, grinding his teeth so hard it seemed he wanted to crush the man to dust.

"You dare betray the organization! When I get my hands on you, I’ll skin you alive and burn you like a human lantern!"

When he said this, he had an aura that could topple mountains and overturn seas.

But to onlookers, it was nothing but impotent rage.

You tell Ma Tianlong to compensate, and he just ignores you, escapes on a rescue drone he developed himself, and you can’t even chase after him.

While in the air, the drone operator, Ma Tianlong, directly called Chen Qingdi’s phone.

At that moment, Chen Qingdi was searching for any traces of the Ghost Doctor Sect in the area when he suddenly received a call from an unknown number.

He answered it immediately.

"My name is Ma Tianlong. I’m the developer of all the Ghost Doctor Sect’s drones, as well as their combat operator. I was the one behind the controls during the drone battle just now."

Chen Qingdi was in a foul mood. "Are you trying to show off to me?"

Ma Tianlong lowered his voice. "I’m flying toward your villa right now. The Ghost Doctor Sect is hunting me down. I need your help."

Chen Qingdi’s voice was still annoyed. "Why should I believe you?"

Ma Tianlong continued, "Because the drones I was controlling were completely wiped out by you, it infuriated the Sect Leader of the Ghost Shifting Sect, Yamano Akio. Not only does he want me to compensate for the loss, but he also wants to execute me. In a fit of anger, I fled with the hard drive that recorded all the secrets of the Mysterious Sect."

’Talk about a godsend,’ Chen Qingdi thought, secretly delighted.

"Report your position. I’ll send people to back you up immediately."

Han Laoliu threw a bucket of cold water on Chen Qingdi’s idea.

"I don’t think we should go. Can you guarantee this person isn’t a spy?"

Chen Qingdi thought for a moment. "If we’re always this cautious, we’ll never learn the Ghost Doctor Sect’s real secrets. I think it’s time we started taking some calculated risks."

Just then, the two Shuang’Er also walked up to the rooftop.

They had been responsible for defending against the Ghost Doctor Sect’s ground assault and had just driven off many of the enemy’s support personnel.

Chen Qingdi suddenly asked, "Have you two heard of Ma Tianlong?"

Gu Shuang’Er said, "That man is the Third Elder of the Ghost Doctor Sect, a rarely seen major figure. Although he’s ranked third, he’s effectively the deputy Sect Leader. He and our master, Yamano Akio, are actually in a partnership."
