In front of the burning factory.
Amid the wind and snow, soone roared loudly as he charged towards ng Yu. It was a middle-aged man wielding a long sword. He approached ng Yu and then… imdiately knelt down before him.
"Mr. ng, I surrender!"
The representative of Star Industrial, Manager Qian, who had fallen out with Captain Luo just half a day ago, dropped his long sword and prostrated himself before ng Yu on all fours.
"I have all their intelligence, Mr. ng, have rcy!"
He was soone with an annual inco of 3.2 million, as well as various bonuses, who had enjoyed all sorts of privileges. He was the Star Industrial executive manager who stepped forward in tis of crisis, but one couldn't demand that he keep giving his all, nor expect him to fight until the last mont.
In fact, he had done his best. Now, he had to think about himself.
"Welco, welco."
ng Yu extended his hand and helped the man up.
"What can I do for you?"
He was very polite, and the man was exceedingly so as well.
"Mr. ng, this is the intelligence on those people, the number of people arriving, Captain Luo hails from the Spring River Sword Sect, most of his subordinates are…"
Manager Qian, with utmost speed, narrated various intelligence on the Death Squad, including their deploynt and the quantity of supplies they carried.
Beside Manager Qian lay the factory compound spanning tens of square kiloters, with buildings rising from the ground and every piece of equipnt constructed at great expense. Countless people had spent countless years gradually building up this foundation. And then, a young whippersnapper – not to be scornful, but to state a fact – because of so grievances, ca over intending to destroy it all!
With a single fire, he had burned down a factory worth tens of billions, and he would continue this destruction.
Yet he, had beco an accomplice.
This realization made him shudder from head to toe.
This stimulation filled his eyes with admiration as he looked at ng Yu!
"What do you need to do?"
"Mr. ng, I want to work for you!"
Manager Qian stated resolutely.
"Captain Luo can't hold them back anymore. If I walk out now, in at most half a day, they will all mobilize and press this way. By then, Mr. ng, no, my liege, if you go here, to the place where they have set up the signal tower and destroy the tower,
They have only brought one signal tower this ti. As long as you destroy it, Mr. ng, you can pick them off one by one using hit-and-run tactics. As for the cargo flying boat, it won't arrive for another two years. During these two years, Mr. ng, you will be the lord of this planet. By then, you can hijack the flying boat or do many other things."
Manager Qian lowered his head, like the most obedient underling, and laid out the plan of action for ng Yu, including drawing various route maps.
Without reservations, he dedicated himself wholeheartedly.
"Very good."
ng Yu nodded and took out a Storage Talisman, tossing it to him.
Inside it were filled with alchemical elixirs, Ash Immortal Silver, and many other supplies.
"I'll join you in this, Young Master ng. No matter what, they will still leave so people behind to defend. I can go back, poison them, or..."
"No need."
ng Yu smiled, patting him on the shoulder.
"Murder and arson earn the gold belt, good brother, I just need your intelligence, thank you for coming to help . Now I'm going to break one of your arms, then you make up an excuse to hide. The rest is up to ."
ng Yu's voice was filled with gratitude and sincerity, leaving the man stunned in place.
"You, don't you think I'm despicable and shaless, a traitor?"
"You've tried your best, and that's enough. Do you have to die for those companies?
"By the way, let tell you a secret."
ng Yu said with a smile brimming with confidence,
"Everyone knows I'm called 'the number one in Qi Refinent, invincible in close combat,' but actually, I have another nickna."
"What is it?"
Manager Qian looked at the full storage ring and let out a deep breath.
This boss seed very generous, and his reputation wasn't bad either.
"I can take on a thousand!"
"I am the enemy of a thousand!"
...
Four hundred and thirty-nine n, fully ard and ready, Captain Luo took another look at the companions they had left behind.
Forty-nine n, all full of fighting spirit.
"Rember, no matter what happens, you must protect the signal tower. Trust no one below, even if I co back alone, don't believe it!
The forty-nine of you are the strongest batch in the troop. Just any twenty of you working together should have no problem taking down ng Yu. However, protect the signal tower at all costs!"
Captain Luo said with a wry smile, knowing full well that attacking now was a mistake and that the best choice would have been to finish building the signal tower and call for reinforcents from the Immortal Sect.
But that dood Manager Qian told everyone a harsh truth about the consequences of avoidance instead of fighting!
He might not know of Geshu Han or Zhao Kuo, but at this mont, he knew that he had to strike out.
Through history, ti and again faced with enemy forces, generals chose the wisest defense strategies, and then, when the main forces arrived and victory was within grasp, the new commanders would execute the forr generals, adding accusations of avoidance, cowardice, and desertion, before executing their entire families!
And were they vindicated in the history books?
No, people only saw the victors and then condemned those who had avoided battle, although there were the rare few like Geshu Han who were spoken of unjustly treated. But what good did that do?
It saved money and trouble without anyone else sharing in the glory, didn't it?
After killing you they'd spit on you!
Then, after slaughtering your children and family, no one would avenge you!
You would forever kneel on the ground!
...
After talking with Manager Qian, ng Yu boarded a flying boat and sped low over the ground to the wilderness, then walked for half an hour to reach the vicinity.
ng Yu's subordinates weren't limited to just Manager Qian.
There were always those seeking fortune within danger, as well as those wishing for ng Yu's rcy. Therefore, now, so were creating diversions, with ng Yu supposedly in a factory sowhere; others provided surveillance to check if Captain Luo and others' flying boats had gone elsewhere; and yet others advised ng Yu, calculating all kinds of possibilities.
So even flew ng Yu there in a flying boat!
And ng Yu... he trusted these people wholeheartedly.
Since ancient tis, the biggest fear in rebelling has been suspicion and paranoia, while going all-in with determination often offers a chance. Most importantly, he could leave at any mont!
Calculating the ti it would take for the flying boat to return, ng Yu suddenly charged out of the snowstorm!
The quickest return ti for the flying boat was an hour, which was plenty!
He had joked about taking on a thousand, but against fifty, he was absolutely confident!
Even though these fifty were the top Qi Refinent Practitioners, each aged in their fifties or sixties or even older, with exquisite combat techniques and at the peak of their True Qi!
But he had the White Crane Swordsmanship, Fire Crow Sword Technique, Growing Golden Lotus, and the "Eighteen Falls" technique!
