Nangong Wenyao gently placed the teacup down with her delicate hand, the bottom of the cup touching the table with a soft sound.
She raised her eyes, her gaze sweeping lightly over Xiong Li, and asked, "Xiong Li, what do you think of the leaders of those two forces?"
Xiong Li's heart tightened, and he quickly composed himself, carefully choosing his words as he said, "I think they are stubborn and have missed their opportunity. It is an honor for a force like ours to follow in the footsteps of the two lords."
He spoke with sincerity, his eyes revealing a hint of ingratiation.
As he spoke, he couldn't help but glance at the giant bird lying on the ground not far away.
This bird is huge!
The wingspan is probably close to 30 meters!
Upon hearing this, Gan Wei smiled and said, "You're quite eloquent, which is completely different from your appearance."
Xiong Li scratched his head awkwardly and said with a forced smile, "Sir, I'm telling the truth."
Nangong Wenyao remained expressionless and said to the outside, "Chen Si, bring the people in."
Before long, Chen and his men filed in, escorting two people.
Xiong Li looked over in confusion.
When Xiong Li saw the two people being escorted, his expression changed drastically.
Those were Lin Tiantian, the leader of the Xuantian Society, and Lin Xiang, the third largest power.
The two were now bound hand and foot with ropes, their clothes were disheveled, and their faces were covered with bruises, clearly indicating that they had struggled during their capture.
Xiong Li's eyes were filled with shock and fear. He never expected the situation to change so suddenly.
It should be noted that the three major forces had reached a tacit agreement in private, deciding to hedge their bets on both sides, so as not to offend the new force or the Chosen Ones.
But to his surprise, the other side had kidnapped them all, which completely disrupted his plans.
Chen Si approached Nangong Wenyao and Gan Wei, bowed slightly, and said with a hint of respect, "Madams, Lin Tiantian and Lin Xiang have admitted to placing bets on both sides."
Gan Wei frowned slightly, her beautiful eyes darting around as she looked at Xiong Li, her tone carrying a hint of accusation: "We asked you to do something, and this is how you handle it?"
Xiong Li felt a chill run down his spine; he knew he was doomed.
But it was too late now, so he gritted his teeth and his face turned ashen.
The next second, he declared righteously, "Kill me or torture me, please! We just want to help our men survive!"
He spoke with a firm and resolute voice, his eyes revealing a determination.
Lin Tiantian looked helpless and said with a bitter smile, "We have no choice. You two don't know how cruel the Chosen Ones are. If you don't obey, your whole family will be wiped out. We have so many brothers under our command and so many people in Sanshi City. We have to think about their lives."
He shook his head as he spoke, his eyes filled with bitterness and helplessness.
Lin Xiang, whose face was swollen from being punched, retorted somewhat defiantly, "You newcomers here don't understand. If you fail to defeat the Chosen Ones this time, you can just pack up and leave. But what about us? If we place all our hopes on you, the Chosen Ones will definitely wipe us out."
His voice was low and weary, as if he were carrying a heavy burden.
Nangong Wenyao glanced at the three of them and said leisurely, "We've been in Sanshi City for so many days, haven't you seen how we treat people? We are compatriots, but what about the Chosen Ones? Do they even consider you compatriots?"
"Did we force you? Why don't you just say you're in trouble? Are you hedging your bets? Does that mean you'll be going to tip off the Chosen Ones when they arrive?"
Nangong Wenyao's series of questions left the three speechless.
Seeing that the three remained silent, Nangong Wenyao sighed and continued, "You yourselves said that the other side has three advanced evolved beings and a mutated giant python, while what about us? We have no fewer advanced evolved beings than them, and even more ordinary evolved beings. They have a giant python, and we have a giant bird."
"We have the advantage of favorable timing, location, and popular support, yet you still have this attitude. To be honest, it's really disappointing."
Chen Si said coldly, "Madam Nangong, they are just afraid of death and are trying to find excuses for their actions."
Lin Xiang was already blushing from the words, but he still couldn't help but say, "However, the Chosen Ones are unfathomable. The people they sent are just the tip of the iceberg."
Gan Wei chuckled and said mockingly, "They're unfathomable? How do you know how powerful we are? Even with the advantage we have, you don't dare to go all out and would rather be treated like pigs by them. Don't you feel ashamed?"
Xiong Li and the others were completely speechless.
Just then, a giant bird that was basking in the sun not far away suddenly stretched its neck and let out a joyful chirp.
Meanwhile, two loud bird calls echoed from the horizon.
Gan Wei and Nangong Wenyao were both stunned when they heard this voice.
That was clearly the sound of the other giant birds!
And judging from the sound, there were two more!
Qingxuan's one should be in Donghu City right now, so who is it that has come now, is it the leader or Sister Feiming and the others?
They no longer cared about Xiong Li and the others, and all stood up, looking in the direction from which the birdsong came.
Soon, two giant birds appeared on the horizon.
And it's incredibly fast.
In just a few seconds, the two giant birds swooped down and circled a hundred meters above the courtyard.
Two figures leaped directly off the giant bird's back, landing precisely beside Gan Wei and Nangong Wenyao.
Nangong Wenyao and Gan Wei quickly called out, "Sister Bai, Little Fish."
Chen Si and the other special operations soldiers all respectfully called out, "Madam Bai! Madam Su!"
Bai Feiming smiled and nodded at Chen Si and the others, then looked at Nangong Wenyao and Gan Wei and said with a faint smile, "When I went to the Second Brigade just now, Brigade Commander Wu said you were here, so Xiaoyu and I rushed over immediately. When Brother Wu comes back and knows that you two are also so enthusiastic, he will definitely be very happy."
Nangong Wenyao smiled shyly and said, "We're happy to be able to help Brother Wu."
Gan Wei asked, "Has Brother Wu returned?"
Bai Feiming shook her head and said, "Glory City is preparing for a major battle. After the battle, Brother Wu should be back."
Gan Wei pouted.
While Bai Feiming and the others were speaking, Xiong Li and his group were already completely stunned.
From the moment Bai Feiming and Su Ziyu descended from the sky, their gazes were firmly drawn to them.
Nearly 100 meters high!
They actually jumped right off the cliff, and acted as if nothing had happened!
This is beyond their understanding of evolved beings!
Inhuman?!
And the two majestic giant birds in the sky are clearly identical to the giant bird that has now stood up next to them.
Such a powerful giant bird, having even one is already a blessing!
It turned out that the opposing force actually had three!
Compared to them, the giant python of the Chosen Ones seems insignificant.
