Could it be that theyâd been tricked by someone?n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âStop for now!â Number 061 yelled loudly.
âItâs a ceasefire!â Chu Yang shouted in a clear voice.
Following the call for a ceasefire from both team captains, all the people caught up in the irresolvable fight came to a stop despite still being unbearably angry.
Number 061 ran swiftly over to that feeble-breathed number 064 and shouted out a question: âDid you take their crystal fragment?â
Number 064 face filled with confusion: ââ¦â¦â
Then, he shook his head.
âLiar! Youâre clearly the person who stole my crystal fragment!â Xiao Luo got so angry that she was practically stomping. âThe cut my sword made in your right sleeve shows clearly that it was you!â
The captain of the Thorn team unconsciously reached toward number 064âs arm.
There was indeed the mark of a sword having slashed across 064âs shoulder.
Indeedâ¦!
Number 061âs eyes narrowed as he reached into number 064âs hidden chest pocket!
That thin ice-cold fragment was lying there quietly.
For a split second, there was a complicated expression in number 061âs eyes.
Upon seeing that, the tension in Chu Yangâs gaze eased a little. He said calmly: âNumber 061, do you remember our agreement to have an amicable cooperation?â
âWhat amicable cooperation?â Number 064âs looked at his captain bewilderedly.
Number 061 suddenly regained his senses at this moment. How could he have forgotten about that?!
Number 064 hadnât actually been present when they made the agreement, so he had no idea that his own team had done such a thing. In other words, if number 064 had ambushed and robbed Chu Yangâs team of their crystal fragment, that would have been due to the hostile relationship between the Thorn guild and Purgatory City.
This meant that it wasnât inherently wrong.
âNumber 061?â Chu Yang looked at Number 061 nonchalantly, shifting his gaze to the latterâs hand.
Number 061 slowly withdrew his hand from Number 064âs chest pocket and unfolded his palm. There was nothing on it.
There was a slight sense of shock in Chu Yangâs expression!
Number 061 sneered: âThereâs no crystal fragment. In other words, you were slandering my team member⦠and you even tried to kill him?â
The thing Number 061 wanted to confirm was whether Su Luo had made a fool out of him.
This was because he, like Chu Yang, suspected that there was a third party interfering and pulling the strings from behind the scenes. However, Number 061 had just found verification on Number 064âs body that he was the one, not Su Luo in disguise, who had attacked and stolen from Xiao Luo. For Number 061, knowing this was enough.
Chu Yang and the others had initially been waiting for the captain of the Thorn team to hand over the crystal fragment, but now, it appeared that he wasnât going to do so.
Number 061 knew that although his side would win this intense conflict, Chu Yangâs team would inflict serious damage on them. In that case, the gains truly wouldnât make up for the losses his team would suffer for this mission.
âYou have two choices now.â Number 061 looked at Chu Yang coldly. âDie in battle! Or⦠will you get lost?â
The expressions of everyone on Chu Yangâs side turned sour. Why were they being accused and berated like this? When had they ever suffered such humiliation?
At this moment, all of their gazes focused on Chu Yang. Each line of sight was like a sword piercing through him.
Chu Yang hesitated and then hesitated some more.
His arm hung tensely by the side of his body as he clenched his fist tight. The protruding cyan veins on his hand were enough to show his inner torment.
âBig Brother!â Xiao Luo tugged at Chu Yang and gazed at him pleadingly. My crystal fragment⦠The crystal fragment that had been so difficult for them to findâ¦
âBig Brother, we canât go. My crystal fragmentâ¦â¦â Xiao Luo pleaded persistently. The crystal fragment had been stolen from my hand. I couldnât simply leave like this. I truly couldnâtâ¦â¦
