Chapter 232 The Scorpion's Revenge

Back at the base, Leo lost all the humility he had shown in front of Ning Qiang. His face was contorted with rage. As the head of the Scorpion Division, today's experience was a stain on his life and a great disgrace!

Chinese people! Those despicable Chinese people!!

Leo slammed his fist on the table with such force that it aggravated his injury, causing him excruciating pain on one side of his face.

He covered his half-collapsed cheek and cursed, "Bastard, you despicable Chinese pig."

He called out, "Someone come here."

"Boss..." Knowing that Leo was in a bad mood, the subordinate trembled with fear, afraid that Leo would take his anger out on him.

"Go and investigate the Chinese villages and Chinatowns thoroughly, focusing on whether they have any grudges against each other."

Having learned his lesson, Leo remained remarkably clear-headed.

If the Chinatown was the one who took action, but the blame is being placed on the Chinese village, the Chinese village will certainly be just as angry as they are. Let's see how the Chinese village handles the situation before deciding on the next course of action.

"Hiss..." Leo winced in pain.

She lost half her teeth, and most of her face was swollen, but she endured the pain and played along with Ning Qiang for a long time, pretending to become friends after a fight...

Leo didn't want to recall what had happened today. His anger surged, and his eyes were filled with malice. This matter couldn't be left like this.

After calming down, when he got up to go to the infirmary, there was no trace of anger on his face.

News of the scorpion's failed attack on the Chinese village spread throughout all the major factions.

The Chinese Village became famous overnight, attracting Chinese people from all over the world who came to visit.

In just over a month, the Chinese village has seen an increase of 5,000 to 6,000 people.

"The fact that Chinatown is diverting the blame eastward has inadvertently helped promote our Chinese village."

With more sheep comes more wool, and Ning Qiang and his men were overjoyed.

Ning Qiang wasn't as smug as his subordinates. "What's there to be happy about with a bunch of rabble?"

I cannot sleep soundly until the great enemy is eliminated.

"There's not a single sound from the Scorpion's side?"

The subordinate shook his head, puzzled, "That's strange. After suffering such a huge loss, is Poison Scorpion just going to let it go like this?"

Ning Qiang's eyes flashed. Let it go? How could that be! He's probably up to something.

Guo Qi and He Xiao were very dissatisfied upon receiving news of the scorpion attack on the Chinese village, expecting them to suffer heavy losses. However, the attack turned out to be completely harmless.

"We're in danger," He Xiao said.

Their worries intensified; with their current strength, they couldn't possibly handle either side, let alone fight both.

All they relied on was Pei Nansheng and his sister.

He Xiao gestured towards Pei Nansheng's tent with his lip: "Do you think they... can win?"

Guo Qi glanced at him, thinking to himself, "Didn't you anticipate the consequences before robbing the Scorpion? It was originally a matter of following the 'gang thread,' and now it's probably too late."

"Who knows? Let's take it one step at a time. Tell our people to be careful."

...

Two documents, one about the Chinese village and the other about the Chinatown.

Leo read it carefully from beginning to end, his brow furrowed.

Compared to Chinatown, the Chinese Village is a well-established force. Both sides have people with superpowers. The Chinese Village has more people and more power, but it was defeated by a pair of newly emerged siblings, and the defeat was not light.

Chinatown has only a little over 300 people in total...

Seeing this number, Leo laughed in anger. With such a small number of people, they dared to extend their claws to the infamous Scorpion. They were really bold!

What they relied on was this brother and sister who appeared out of nowhere.

Killing someone without them even realizing it? Leo frowned.

He trusted his subordinates' abilities, and even if he didn't trust their intelligence-gathering skills, he believed that no one could withstand the onslaught of medicine in a time of shortage.

With resources in hand, there's no information you can't get.

The document focuses on describing all the events that happened to Pei Nansheng and his sister from the time they entered the village until they left.

First, they attacked the guards, using the method of killing silently for the first time, in a sea battle with Ning Xiaoqi and Ning Dage. No one saw the process, and Pei Nansheng and his sister won.

Then nine people died inexplicably, and another 21... were practically dead.

There were witnesses, but no one saw Pei Nansheng and his sister make a move... Leo frowned again.

The Chinese Village was tricked by the Chinatown, and Leo is waiting for the Chinese Village to retaliate against the Chinatown.

I was a little disappointed that it didn't come.

What does this mean? It means that Ning Qiang wasn't confident he could kill the brother and sister with a single blow!

Leo was frustrated by this conclusion. Should he just give up?

My alveolar bone is throbbing, but oh well... Leo never lets a loss go unpunished!

He tapped the table lightly with his fingertips, rested his legs on the table in frustration, lit a cigar, closed his eyes, and exhaled a long smoke ring.

The smoke rings drifted and scattered, unable to dispel Leo's troubled thoughts.

The ticking of the clock struck Leo's heart, the cold mechanical sound reigniting his fighting spirit.

He crushed the cigar end in the ashtray, then stared into the distance with an icy gaze.

...

Zuo Ling was awakened from her sleep by palpitations. Her chest was pounding, the sudden pain was still there, and the panic of impending danger was growing stronger.

Without thinking twice, he shouted, "Brother, Xiao Hao, get up quickly!"

It was the coldest time of day. Zuo Ling grabbed a military overcoat, put it on, slipped on her shoes, and quickly crawled out of the tent.

Everyone was fast asleep, and there wasn't a sound outside the tent.

Palpitations filled Zuo Ling's chest, and she opened her mouth, but the pain prevented her from making a sound.

Pei Nansheng and Xiao Hao followed Zuo Ling on either side. Zuo Ling stretched out her hand into the distance. Having spent a lot of time together, they could understand each other's meaning with just a gesture or a glance.

The two brothers shouted, "Enemy attack! Get up! Enemy attack!"

At the same time, warning shots were fired.

In the air, the two black dots drew closer and closer.
