I didn't take the bearded man's attack to heart.
If we were switched places, and I were here waiting for Monkey and Jiang Man, but strangers came up instead, I would definitely get angry too.
After stopping us, Ma Gan glanced at his companions who were packing up and said, "There's no time. Abandon all equipment and get out of here as soon as possible!"
After listening to Ma Gan's words, Leopard waved to me and Miao Xiaoxian: "I've done more than enough by bringing you two out of this predicament. Let's part ways here and go our separate ways."
"etc!"
After hearing what Hua Bao said, Ma Gan immediately stopped Miao Xiaoxian and me, raising an eyebrow at Hua Bao: "They still owe me 30 million, how can we just let them go? What about my losses?"
The leopard smiled and said, "Don't you still have me as your guarantor? I'll transfer every penny of their money to your account!"
"No, what if they leave and then you deny everything? Who am I supposed to complain to?"
The slender figure stood unmoved, blocking Miao Xiaoxian and me: "That's the rule of the Rat Clan: either pay up or pay with your life. There's no such thing as delaying payment!"
The leopard frowned slightly: "We Black Robes have been cooperating with you for so long, and we've never owed you a single penny. Isn't that enough to earn your trust just once?"
"Stop! We, the Rat Clan, only talk about money, not feelings! Even if I've cooperated with you eighteen thousand times, this rule won't change!"
Magan stared unmoved at Leopard: "You people are all in business that risks your lives. Who knows when you'll suddenly be gone! Who am I supposed to ask for the money you owe me then?"
The leopard looked intently at the slender figure and said, "Even if I die, the black-robed man will still give you the money."
"Our Rat Clan's rule is that we don't accept payments from others, and we always strive for a clean and efficient transaction! I know you Black Robe people are not to be trifled with, and I know it would be easy for you to deal with me, but if you go back on your word, I guarantee that from tonight onwards, no one from the Rat Clan will do business with you Black Robe people again!"
Ma Gan calmly met Hua Bao's gaze: "I've rescued them. Either bring them with me, or I'll kill them now. Death settles all debts!"
Just as Magan was speaking, a loud rumbling sound came from the direction of the mountaintop, and the ground beneath our feet began to shake.
Leopard looked at the loose pebbles on the ground and took a deep breath: "Remember, what happened today must never be told, and the identities of these two people must be kept secret."
"Although we, the Rat Clan, have a bad reputation when it comes to money, we have never had any problems with our credibility! We have our own code of conduct when dealing with you outlaws."
Seeing that the leopard had relented, Ma Gan waved to his three companions: "Retreat immediately. We must reach the foot of the mountain within three minutes. The interiors of several surrounding mountains have been hollowed out. If a landslide occurs, a large area around the mountain will be affected."
"This way!"
The bearded man who had attacked me earlier waved his hand and led Miao Xiaoxian and me quickly toward the woods.
The passageway that the hemp stalks used to pull us up was mostly naturally formed, but there were still many places that needed to be dug by hand.
After we entered the woods, we saw two tents ahead, with a lot of Luoyang shovels, spades, and some power tools piled up outside. Judging from the instant noodle boxes and food bags around the tents, these people had obviously been living here for several days.
Big Beard led Miao Xiaoxian and me around the tent and toward three mountain bikes and a four-wheeled ATV in the distance: "There are four of us. One of us will drive the ATV and take the equipment. The three of you can choose a motorcycle each."
As the loud noise from the mountain grew louder, Ma Gan's expression turned serious. He quickly ran towards a motorcycle: "The echo from this mountain is strange. The speed of the landslide is too eerie. We have to run immediately. If we delay any longer, we might not be able to leave!"
Although I have never dealt with anyone from the "Rat Gate" group, I have no doubt about the professional knowledge of the "Mahgan" group.
Those who can work in their field are all experts in geology, and Ma Gan has collaborated with Hei Pao many times, so his experience and knowledge are definitely superior to mine.
Hearing that the mountain was about to collapse, I helped Miao Xiaoxian onto Big Beard's motorcycle, and then sat on the back of Magan's motorcycle.
"Buzz!"
The roar of motorcycles echoed through the valley in an instant, and then the six of us rode the motorcycles and began to speed down the mountain.
As the motorcycle traveled, wild animals kept rushing out from the woods on both sides of us, and we could even hear the roar of bears.
This mountain forest, located in an uninhabited area, was once a paradise for wild animals. Living in close proximity to nature, they were more able to sense the unusual nature of this place than humans.
As I sat on the motorcycle and turned to look, the mountains behind me were shrouded in thick fog.
To be precise, it was dust and smoke stirred up by the landslide.
The mountain we just escaped from had collapsed at its peak, and the rising smoke looked like the heat from a volcano.
Ma Gan and his group roam the deep mountains and forests year-round, riding their motorcycles as if they were on flat ground.
Two minutes later, when our motorcycle reached a mountain pass, Magan saw the vehicle carrying the leopard parked there. After stopping, he shouted, "The fissures in the mountain above have an astonishing amount of water. If the entire mountain collapses, a mudslide could engulf this place in minutes! Staying here is suicide; we have to keep running!"
"It's not that I don't want to run, it's that I can't run away!"
Leopard gestured with the satellite phone in his hand: "I just contacted my teammates, and they said that the surrounding mountains have been sealed off by the people of Ping'an Village! These people are clearly here to eliminate us completely. If we are caught by them, we will only face death!"
While Ma Gan was adept at finding crevices inside mountains, he was clearly an amateur when it came to handling matters of the martial world. Somewhat nervously, he asked Leopard, "Aren't you black-robed people supposed to be incredibly powerful? Can you open a path for us?"
"They're looking for weaknesses, but before that, we need to find a safe place to hide."
Leopard pointed to a mountain on the right: "That mountain isn't in the feng shui of the Miao Jiang Immortal Palace, so there shouldn't be any traps inside. We can go there and hide!"
"Walk!"
Ma Gan spun the motorcycle on the spot and charged towards the hilltop where Leopard Fingers was located.
Thanks to Ma Gan's superb driving skills, the motorcycle made it safely up the hill.
The leopard sat in another car, pointing out the way for us along the way, and drove the car into a small valley.
After Ma Gan stopped the car, I saw Duan Jinyan not far away, and my eyes instantly turned red.
