“How can it be our Deputy Chief!” Li Zheng said heatedly, “It can’t possibly be Deputy Chief Yang! Everyone in the Hades Base knows that he has saved our Chief’s life! Chief treats him better than her own brother! How can he be a mole from the Earth Dragon Base!”
“It can’t be, can’t be! Captain is right! How can it be Deputy Chief Yang? He’s like Chief’s brother! He’s nice to Chief Netherworld Fire as well! How can he possibly hurt Chief?” Lin Yu said while shaking his head. He wore the same look as the others.
Looked at their stunned faces, Huang Ming sighed and said, “Did your Deputy Chief Yang tell your Chief that Long Yubai had only allied with the Sky Fire Base to attack your base? In five months? Do you know how many people attacked your base about half a month ago? Apart from the Earth Dragon Base and Sky Fire Base people, Hidden Cloud Base people showed up as well. Including long Yubai, five level-seven powerful beings joined the attack. Apart from all these, Yang Jianhua has also put some drug in Chief Netherworld Fire’s water to suppress her power.”
The five popped their eyes in shock. They didn’t dare to believe Huang Ming’s words. However, they clearly understood that as a right-hand man of a Deputy Chief, Huang Ming had no reason to lie to them. It must be his leader who sent him to say these words to them.
As the five remained silent, Huang Ming continued patiently, “I know this is hard for you, and you all don’t want to believe it. But, this news has been verified by us. I believe you’ll get the message from your people soon. I have two other news for you, one good and one bad. Which one do you like to hear first?”
“The good one!”
“The bad news!”
The five spoke out simultaneously, but made different choices.
Li Zheng glanced at the others, making them quiet down immediately. After that, he said to Huang Ming, “Tell us the bad news first then. We’ve already known the worst anyway. What can be worse than the destruction of our base?”
Huang Ming nodded and said, “As I mentioned before, the Earth Dragon Base had sent five level-seven superpowered people to attack your base. So, your Chief was besieged. Under that kind of situation, she failed to control her power well, and burned down a big half of your base. Many people died. After that, she was forced to Wan City by the seaside. She detonated her energy nucleus on a cliff. I heard that two of the five level-seven were injured severely, and one died. But, that information still needs to be verified. We’ve only heard that Netherworld Fire has blown herself up, but no one witnessed it. By now, we and the other bases have all sent out people to look at the spot where she did that.”
After hearing that sad news, Li Zheng and his teammates couldn’t say a word.
Their leader was murdered by five level-seven powerful beings, dying in a siege. What did that mean? Did Long Yubai gather all the leaders of the three bases?
Five against one…Even though Chief Netherworld Fire was strong, she couldn’t possibly win in such a scenario. Therefore, it was reasonable for her to detonate her energy nucleus and die together with one enemy.
“Impossible! That’s impossible! Even if our Chief can’t win, she’d be able to run. Her power is so special and strong. Not even five level-seven can kill her easily! How can she possibly choose to blow herself up? If she died, what would Great Captain and her other family members do?” Lin Yu murmured expressionlessly.
“You’re right! Chief can’t die! She wouldn’t leave her family like that!” Li Zheng’s eyes glowed as he said with hope.
“And there’s the good news,” said Huang Ming, “Because of the efforts your Chief made, her family managed to escape. But now, they’re still hunted by Yang Jianhua. As far as we know, they’ve entered the Min Province, but we haven’t figured out what happened to them next.”
“Chief’s family escaped? But, why would Deputy Chief Yang hunt them? How can he do that?” Li Zheng looked at him and asked.
The five refused to believe that Yang Jianhua was hunting their Chief’s family, because their Chief and her family treated him like one of their own, and it would be inhumane for him to try hurting them.
“Whether you believe it or not, our information is real,” said Huang Ming, “Our Chief is preparing to send some people to aid Lin Feng and his family. He sent me here to tell you about what happened, and also to ask you if you’d like to go help Lin Feng and his people. After all, they’re in a bad situation now.”
“We’ll go!”
“We’ll all go!”
“Yeah, we must help them!”
“I’ll go find out if it’s really Yang Jianhua who did it!”
Once Huang Ming finished talking, the five responded promptly. They didn’t want to believe what Huang Ming said, so they needed to see if it was real with their own eyes.
Huang Ming nodded and said, “Alright, we’ll leave this afternoon. I’ll be leading the team this time. Our people might be no match for Yang Jianhua, but we can deal with his soldiers. With you, our team will grow stronger.”
Huang Ming had level-five ice power. His power was strong, so Xiao Yunsong sent him to lead tens of elite soldiers to aid Lin Feng and his family.
Li Zheng was also a level-five, so his participation would surely strengthen the team.
“I still don’t believe that our Chief is dead. She won’t die. We’re not only going to pick up Great Captain and his people. We’re also going to the place where Chief blew herself up and take a look.” said Li Zheng.
“Yeah!” the others nodded in agreement.
“What happened to our other Deputy Chief?” Feng Yuming asked abruptly.
Huang Ming responded, “Do you mean your Deputy Chief Yuan? He has been missing for nearly a month. No one knows if he’s still alive. But, according to the message we’ve got, he went missing before the Earth Dragon Base people attacked, about the same time when you left.”
The others glanced at each other with surprise. “Do you mean Deputy Chief Yuan went missing when we left the base? Why?” Li Zheng asked.
Huang Ming shook his head and replied, “We don’t know. But, since that moment, we haven’t heard anything about him. Maybe you can try to figure that out yourself. Or, the truth will naturally come to you if he shows up.”
The others had no choice but to nod in agreement. They guessed that there were still things that they didn’t know yet. Otherwise, why would their Deputy Chief disappear for no reason? Normally, he wouldn’t let anything happen to Chief even if he needed to give up his own life.
After all, Chief Netherworld Fire was so important to him.
