"Your friend’s Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall?"
Watu looked at Xia Ling, who didn’t seem to care about the Great Ape Gang, and was montarily stunned.
Not only was Watu, the Great Ape Gang’s Gang Leader, stunned, but even Fluo and others on Red Moon Mountain were doubting their ears for a mont, wondering if they had misheard.
"Hall Master Lin, are you and Miss Xia Ling friends?" Fluo couldn’t help but ask Lin Qi in a low voice, his voice even trembling slightly.
Though Xia Ling’s voice wasn’t loud, the appearance of the Phosphorus Fire Gang had already made the scene eerily silent, with no one daring to speak, making Xia Ling’s words exceptionally clear to everyone.
For people mixed in gangs, the word "friend" is just an everyday term.
It’s equivalent to asking, "Have you eaten? Do you want to eat?" It’s completely the sa aning.
But when Xia Ling ca over with twenty personal guards from the Phosphorus Fire Gang, and uttered the word "friend" in front of the Great Ape Gang, the aning beca entirely different.
It not only showcased Xia Ling’s degree of importance towards the person from the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall but also represented viewing that person as having equal identity and status.
Currently, only Lin Qi is the leader of the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall; without any other known spokespersons of the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall, then Xia Ling’s ntioned friend could only be Lin Qi.
If it is indeed as he thought, then the value of the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall far surpasses what he previously imagined. After all, in Chasing Light City, a place where the strong prey on the weak, no heir from a major family would casually associate with soone inferior in every way, especially in identity and status.
Lin Qi scratched his head, not very certain, and said, "I suppose so."
Personally, Lin Qi and Xia Ling could not be considered friends, not even knowing Xia Ling’s specific identity, only that Xia Ling holds a high status in the Phosphorus Fire Gang.
However, Lin Qi and Xia Ling had many transactions; calling them business friends wouldn’t be wrong.
"Understand, understand!" Fluo nodded, beaming with a wide smile.
Although Xia Ling acknowledged Lin Qi as a friend, Lin Qi’s hesitation indicated a very obvious disparity between their identities, suggesting that the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall has considerable notoriety.
Lin Qi looked at the seemingly all-knowing Fluo, feeling speechless for a mont.
He himself couldn’t comprehend the situation, nor did he know what Fluo might have understood.
anwhile, Mans, the captain from the distant bridge observing with binoculars, gasped in shock.
"How could this be?" Mans stared at Xia Ling stepping forward, montarily bewildered, "What is the relationship between the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall and her?"
Xia Ling, as the dear granddaughter of the Phosphorus Fire Gang’s Gang Leader, held imnse status and had outpaced even the deputy gang leader by achieving the status of a quasi-martial artist before age 20.
Such a significant figure from the suburbs ca out to diate for the humble Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall, completely perplexing everyone.
If Xia Ling intervened in the Great Ape Gang’s attack, they might ultimately have to abandon their attempts against the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall, completely derailing the plans of the White Feather Gang.
"Captain Mans, should we wait until they leave before we take action?" a captain of the White Feather Gang’s dark guard asked in a low voice.
"Even if you forcefully attack Red Moon Mountain later, it would be useless," Mans shook his head, looking at the dozens of players on Red Moon Mountain with so lant, "The foundation of the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall is impressive; nineteen people caused havoc in the Great Ape Gang’s base, killing more than six hundred people. Do you think you could do better?"
At that mont, the dark guards fell silent, unwilling to admit but knowing they could hardly match that feat, considering the Great Ape Gang’s base housed thousands, including hundreds of apprentice-level experts, even a true martial artist couldn’t defeat them head-on, let alone when they were not martial artists themselves.
"The Gang Leader brought you here to finish the job, not to take the lead," Mans advised the silent dark guards, a smile reappearing on his lips, "However, this ti you also have your chance."
"Captain Mans, what do you an?" Two captains of the dark guards curiously looked at Mans, the latest confidant of the Gang Leader.
"Watu, that old ape, has considerable ambition according to the Gang Leader," Mans smiled as he gazed across the bridge at Watu, "Xia Ling’s identity is indeed terrifying, but Watu is no ordinary person and will not easily let go of a small energy ore vein; you can take advantage in the chaos."
Knowing the intelligence on Watu was one thing, but knowing he was likely a martial artist who has managed an outdoor gang for years added another dinsion.
Let alone just Xia Ling, even the entire Phosphorus Fire Gang might not sway Watu.
After all, the pri opportunity for territorial domination as a king lood ahead, leaving few martial artists able to resist that temptation, depending solely on whether Watu would reveal his hidden cards.
While Mans spoke, a low chuckle suddenly erged from the Great Ape Gang, turning the originally quiet scene into a deathly silence.
"Xia Ling, long ti no see. Didn’t expect you would involve yourself in the affairs of outdoor gangs."
"But it seems Watu is my old friend too; can you give so face and let them handle their own matters?"
As the voice faded, a female from the Three-Eyed Race appeared among the Great Ape Gang. She had silver hair and a tal mask that obscured her true appearance but felt as if she were a woodland fairy, giving everyone an indescribable sense of warmth.
