Chapter 785 Demanding People

"Use? Brother Lei, you wouldn't tell me you're still clinging to some brotherly affection, would you? Hahaha! That would be truly hilarious!"

Xu Long's words were full of sarcasm, and after a brief laugh, his eyes became increasingly sinister.

"Brother Lei, don't forget his identity. He was harmed so badly because of you. If I were him, I would probably want to tear you to pieces. Brother Lei, instead of keeping a time bomb by your side, it's better to hand this danger over to me, so I can make the best use of him and everyone will be happy."

Xu Long said all this simply to try and keep Xiao Yunfeng with him.

Lei Xiao said with a forced smile, "Boss Xu, you don't need to worry about me. I must take the person with me."

His tone wasn't harsh, but his attitude was uncompromising.

Their equally sinister gazes collided in mid-air.

Extremely intense.

Xiao Yunfeng remained silent throughout, letting them fight over his fate.

One second.

Ten seconds.

Twenty seconds.

Xu Long was the first to suppress his chill and reveal a smile again.

"I just wanted to help Brother Lei out. Since Brother Lei doesn't appreciate it, then I guess I was just meddling."

Lei Xiao laughed along, "I know Boss Xu's good intentions, how could I not appreciate it?"

The two understood each other without saying a word.

Lei Xiao didn't waste any time. "Boss Xu, I have something to do, so I'll take the person with me first. I'll come back to have a drink with you when I have time."

Xu Long waved his hand dismissively, "Take care, don't bother seeing me out."

Lei Xiao turned and left, and Xiao Yunfeng followed immediately.

"Boss, are we just going to let them go like this?"

Niu Peng, who brought Xiao Yunfeng over, watched the two figures disappear into the distance, his face full of dissatisfaction and hostility.

Xu Long's upturned lips slowly fell, and he was shrouded in a heavy shadow.

"Boss, you're letting him get away with this too much. If you don't release him, he won't dare do anything!" Niu Peng said indignantly.

In his eyes, there was only one boss on this island, and that was Xu Long.

A murderous intent was also surging deep within Xu Long's eyes.

Lei Xiao used to be nothing more than a dog groveling at his feet; killing him would be as easy as crushing an ant.

But after that battle that nearly wiped them out, they escaped death and came to this island. At first, he valued Lei Xiao's loyalty and decent abilities, which is why he paid attention to and trained him.

He certainly did not disappoint him, and in just four or five years he became his right-hand man and gained all his trust.

Later, when he realized that this person had grown powerful and was gradually slipping out of his control, it was too late to eliminate him.

Over the past six or seven years, Lei Xiao's influence on the island has grown rapidly, and now he is on par with Lei Xiao.

Killing Lei Xiao is not impossible, but that would reduce the island's strength by half, giving outsiders an opportunity to take advantage.

Therefore, he can only remain patient and wait for a way to get rid of Lei Xiao.

"Boss, there's also Xiao Yunfeng, a high-ranking officer in the military. Even if he is indeed wanted by the military, it's possible that this is just a ploy. Leaving someone like him on the island is far too dangerous."

Niu Peng felt from the bottom of his heart that Xiao Yunfeng should never have been allowed to come to the island. He should have just kept him there, imprisoned him, tortured him, or dealt with him however he pleased, as long as he couldn't become any threat.

Xu Long could certainly have thought of what he could, but Lei Xiao insisted on taking him, and now was not the time to break ties with Lei Xiao.

"Assign a few shrewd people to keep a close eye on them."

Niu Peng wanted to say something more, but Xu Long's impatient look silenced him immediately.
