Chapter 2024: Chapter 2024: Shelter
What Zhou Tong hadn’t expected was that Yang Hui was thrilled to hear this. Damn! Yang Xiong is looking for death now! Not only did Yang Hui not expose Zhou Tong, but he even spoke up in his favor!
"Seventh Elder, my uncle has already discussed this matter with my father, and my father has approved it."
"Is that so? If that’s the case, then I’m relieved! Third brother, I will definitely take good care of Yang Xiong and ensure that not even the slightest danger comes his way!"
With Yang Hui’s assurance, Wu Kun was put at ease.
"Alright, everything depends on Seventh now, I’ve got other matters to attend to, so I’ll be leaving first."
"I’ll walk you out."
"Third Elder, take care."
...
Watching Zhou Tong and Seventh Elder Wu Kun leave, the corners of Yang Hui’s mouth slightly curled up. Yang Hui knew there was a Red Evil Spirit General in the Prisoner’s Graveyard, and all it took was to infuriate the Red Evil Spirit General, hehe...
By then, how could you, Wu Kun, even take care of yourself, let alone Yang Xiong?
If Yang Xiong dares join the raid team, it’s no different from committing suicide! Yang Hui already regarded ’Yang Xiong’ as a dead man.
Qin Yu certainly knew Yang Hui had ulterior motives, but he still put on an extremely grateful expression and said, "Thank you, Young Master, for enabling this. I will definitely break through during the battle!
I will definitely, like my father-in-law, swear to aid the Yang Family to death!"
"Hahaha! Well said, the Yang Family and the Zhou Family are practically one family. You and Zhou Cong should join my team. My team has many people and is the most powerful, safest bet."
Yang Hui’s eyes had a scheming look, pondering something unknown.
Safe, my ass!
Qin Yu cursed inwardly, turning his head to look at Zhou Cong with a pleading gaze.
On the way here, Zhou Tong had already learned of last night’s events, which clearly showed that Yang Hui did not take the Zhou Family seriously at all, which greatly annoyed Zhou Cong!
Zhou Cong politely said, "Young Master, I’d love to join your team, but I’ve already promised Wei Dong that I would be part of his squad for the raid on the Prisoner’s Graveyard."
Zhou Cong’s refusal made Yang Hui’s face look awful, a blatant slap in the face!
Wei Dong was shocked, not expecting Zhou Cong to publicly refuse Yang Hui, considering the Zhou Family and the Yang Family were almost as close as brothers.
This was a great opportunity, and Wei Dong would not refuse it. Moreover, Wei Dong trusted Zhou Cong’s character, believing Zhou Cong would never betray him. Wei Dong burst into joyful laughter!
"Hahahaha! Welcome brother Zhou Cong, with your joining, our squad will certainly stand out and become the squad that kills the most Red Evil Spirits!"
"Brother Wei, I want to bring my brother-in-law; could you make an exception?" Zhou Cong asked, somewhat embarrassed.
Wei Dong glanced at Qin Yu, his smile instantly freezing. It wasn’t ideal to have a drag on the team during a mission! Wei Dong wanted to refuse but found himself unable to speak out.
Seeing Wei Dong’s hesitation, Zhou Cong chuckled and said, "If it’s too much trouble for brother Wei, then never mind."
Hearing Zhou Cong’s words, Yang Hui quickly approached and laughed, "Brother Cong, it’s only in the most critical times that one finds out who is truly on their side! We are, your brother-in-law, I will take him in!"
How could Wei Dong be outdone by Yang Hui? Wei Dong clenched his teeth, "Brother Zhou Cong, I agree to your request! Your brother-in-law, I will take him in!"
No sooner had he spoken than Wei Dong regretted it, as Yang Hui’s face revealed a fox-like grin!
The team under Wei Dong was already slightly weaker than his, and with Yang Xiong, a drag, their strength was bound to be affected!
By then, his team’s military achievements would be streets ahead of Wei Dong’s squad!
