"You know her?"

A hint of doubt flashed in "Second Brother's" eyes, and he asked with a teasing tone, "Don't tell me that this girl used to be your old flame."

Green Hair, also known as Xu Tianlong who disappeared without a trace after arriving on the island, shook his head.

He grinned, as if recalling some unpleasant memory. "She, Wu Fangming, and I all came to the island in the same batch."

"Second Brother" paid little attention to Xu Tianlong's memories; eager to complete the mission, he interrupted the man and loudly ordered his underlings:

"What are you all standing there for? Hurry up and tie him up and take him back!"

Upon receiving the order, the underlings prepared to step forward and take action.

However, the moment one of the henchmen touched Wu Fangming, all three of them opened their eyes at the same time.

The younger man suddenly felt dizzy, followed by a sharp pain in his arm.

The sudden turn of events took "Second Brother" by surprise. He took several steps back, pointed at the three who had regained consciousness, and said in a slightly frightened voice, "You, you guys didn't faint!"

At that moment, Wu Fangming exerted force, and the henchman's arm dislocated instantly, causing him to howl in pain, with beads of sweat sliding down his face.

Seeing this, the other underlings also stopped what they were doing, gripping their wooden sticks tightly and waiting for their "second brother" to give instructions.

Wu Fangming gently rubbed his wrist, his eyes flashing with a sharp light as he glared at the leader.

"Feng Er, it's been a long time."

He suddenly stood up, kicked aside the chair next to him, and instantly unleashed his aura, an undeniable force surging towards the crowd like a tidal wave.

Feeling this pressure, Feng Er's expression changed slightly, and he quickly took a few steps back.

He grabbed a weapon from the side, trying to calm his inner turmoil by gripping it tightly.

Feng Er tried his best to remain calm, a sinister smile appearing on his face, and said to Wu Fangming:

"Wu Fangming, you only beat me by luck last time. Now I have more men than you, so you'd better be sensible and surrender obediently!"

Wu Fangming sneered and glanced disdainfully at Feng Er's men. "Just these few? I feel sorry for Lei Laojiu for having such cowards under his command."

Wu Fangming's provocation successfully enraged Feng Er's henchmen, who, without waiting for Feng Er's order, angrily swarmed towards him.

Seeing this, Feng Er panicked and shouted urgently:

"Quick, grab that woman!"

Inside the cramped restaurant, Wu Fangming faced an attack from Feng Er's five henchmen all by himself.

Although the enemy outnumbered them, their attacks appeared chaotic and disorganized in front of Wu Fangming.

Wu Fangming effortlessly dodged their attacks while retaliating with lightning speed. His fists slammed into his enemies like hammers, and his feet moved nimbly through the crowd.

At the same time, Xu Tianlong seized the opportunity to pounce on Chuanliu.

His eyes gleamed with malice as he raised the wooden stick high, intending to force the girl into submission.

However, it is clear that they overlooked the existence of a key figure.

Zhuiming had already noticed Xu Tianlong's movements. He slightly shifted his body and kicked Xu Tianlong's knee.

Xu Tianlong hadn't expected this taciturn man to have such skill. He had no time to dodge and could only take the kick head-on.

The pain instantly spread throughout his leg, and he staggered back a few steps, almost falling to the ground.

"Damn it!"

In a fit of rage, Xu Tianlong blurted out a curse, his gaze turning to Zhui Ming. He roared in impotent fury:

"I'm going to cripple you today!"

However, Xu Tianlong's chaotic attacks seemed so powerless in the face of Zhui Ming.

Within three moves, Zhui Ming subdued him.

Xu Tianlong howled in pain, glancing at Chuanliu beside him, his eyes revealing a desperate plea for help.

He cried out in a pitiful voice, "Chuanliu! Chuanliu! We came to the island together. I even said I would protect you. You can't just leave me to die. Please save me, save me!"

Chuanliu slowly stepped forward, her eyes filled with confusion, her tone tinged with naivety, "But you were clearly trying to kill me just now."

Despite the excruciating pain, Xu Tianlong forced a smile, his voice filled with pleading, "No, no! I was coerced by Lei Laojiu! You must believe me!"

However, Chuanliu simply shook her head slightly, and under Xu Tianlong's desperate and pleading gaze, she slowly took a few steps back.

Immediately afterwards, Zhuiming mercilessly twisted Xu Tianlong's head and turned it forcefully.

"Click—"

With a crisp sound, Xu Tianlong's eyes immediately lost focus, and the breath of life completely dissipated.

Zhuiming sighed helplessly. He looked at Chuanliu and raised an eyebrow, as if the ruthless methods he had just used had nothing to do with him.

"I've practically become your personal bodyguard all this way, boss. Shouldn't you consider giving me some compensation for my hard work?"

Chuanliu glanced at him indifferently, his voice cold, "You came here of your own accord."

Zhui Ming shrugged noncommittally.

Meanwhile, Wu Fangming's side was also about to end the battle quickly.

The man was agile; he lifted a chair next to him and skillfully blocked the enemy's attack; then, using the momentum, he launched a flying kick and accurately struck another enemy.

The whole process was swift and efficient; in no time, the five henchmen collapsed to the ground, unable to resist.

At that moment, Chuanliu suddenly realized the change in the number of people. She immediately looked around alertly and asked:

Where is Feng Er?

Upon hearing this, Wu Fangming's expression changed, and he quickly rushed to the restaurant's kitchen. He saw that the kitchen window was wide open, and a gentle breeze was blowing through, causing the curtains to flutter in the wind.

"You good-for-nothing!"

Wu Fangming cursed angrily.

Taking advantage of the chaos of the fight, "Two of Spades" Feng Er abandoned his brothers and ran away.

After cleaning up the battlefield, Wu Fangming said somewhat apologetically:

"I'm sorry to have dragged you into this. This was originally just a matter between me and Lei Laojiu."

Chuanliu shook her head. She had experienced the "9" and "10" battle in the City of Cubes, and no one knew the cruelty of it better than her, a survivor.

Looking at Xu Tianlong's corpse, she slowly spoke:

"It's obvious that Lei Laojiu has already taken control of the 'Two of Spades' resources; he originally wanted to bid on gunpowder in the Wuwang District as well. Fang Ming, if you don't take the initiative to do something, this kind of thing will keep happening in the future."

Wu Fangming lowered his eyes and fell into deep thought.

After a long pause, he said, "I will consider the problem you mentioned. However, we are now being watched by Lei Laojiu. If we continue to rush to the City of Cubes, I'm afraid this kind of thing will happen again... How about this, you come back to my house with me first, and we will discuss this further."
