Chapter 62 Regrets
He cupped his chin with his right hand as he thought. As the leader of a Gang, he still possessed some brain cells that enabled him to see through the strangeness of his enemies\' victory.
Could there be some kind of a unique factor in play? But I am sure that they do not have that many weapons anymore and they also don\'t have any Formations or Artifact that could temporarily boost their power...
In the end, he clicked his tongue in frustration and picked the young woman from the ground as he vented his vexation unto her.
Back at the Tyrannical Jollibee Gang region, the members of the entire Gang gathered including Charlotte and Dan. Currently, Dan wore a solemn expression as he glanced at the other members of the Gang, all the while instructing the System in monitoring their vital signs.
His eyes flashed in a critical light. When he found that the attack of the Fierce Bulls Gang should not commence this early, he started thinking about the reason why they launched this siege. Even though they didn\'t have any idea about the true strength of each other.
As a man who loved books in his previous life, especially the mystery ones. He liked solving these kinds of problems and his mind had a foundation of information where he could tap onto when he stumbles upon an obstacle.
However, Dan didn\'t take long in deducing the truth why the information about the Gang was leaked. Apart from the three men that Caitlyn described, there were still snakes that Dan needed to purge so that everything would function well as intended.
"Ahem..." Caitlyn gathered the attention of everyone as she spoke, "Trevor, the technique that you used earlier, was it a Divine Art?"
She asked the question that everyone wanted to know the most. Charlotte\'s mighty figure shivered in embarrassment which invoked a chain of whole body cringes within the gang members.
But they soon calmed themselves down, waiting for Charlotte\'s answer.
Clenching her fists, Charlotte momentarily glanced at Dan before saying, "Yes, Miss Boss, this Divine Arts of mine is a bloodline Divine Art that was handed over to me by my father..."
Dan\'s lips lifted a small smile, earlier, he instructed Charlotte to say such words so that he could achieve two goals in one fell swoop. One, to halt the greed of these men, and second, to snake out his prey.
And indeed, when the men heard the words, Bloodline Divine Art. They shook their heads and discarded their previous designs towards the Divine Art that Charlotte had. After all, they would not be able to acquire such a technique much less use it since it runs through the blood and could only be inherited.
Caitlyn stared at her with a calm expression but Charlotte remained unperturbed. Witnessing her visage, she could only sigh and say, "Trevor, can you please lend us your strength? We will soon be commencing an attack towards the Fierce Bulls Base so your strength as a Divine Arts user would tremendously help us..."
Her words echoed loud and clear and the men perked up their concentration in listening. But before Charlotte could answer, Dan raised his hand and said, "Miss Boss, I can speak on behalf of her that she would definitely help. However, under one condition..."
Dan\'s word astonished the men, some of them stared angrily at him for being so petty, even when they\'re at warring times. But since Dan possessed what they needed; they could only shut up and listen to his request.
Caitlyn knitted her eyebrows. But she came to the same conclusion as her subordinate. Since it\'s just a single request, why could we not grant it as long as it\'s not too much? After all, once we succeed in capturing their region, we would gain more than we lose...
"Okay, fine, what is that condition?" She continued and upon seeing that Caitlyn agreed, Dan lifted his lips in a smile as he said in a casual voice that sent chills running through their spines, "Let me kill someone here..."
"Eh?"
"What did he say?"
"Didn\'t he just say that he wants to kill someone among us?"
The men fervently discussed and Caitlyn\'s expression reddened in anger, "Absolutely, not! How dare you say something such as killing my comrades! I would never let you do such a thing and if you did, you will suffer the consequences..."
She declared and when her subordinates heard her words They were incredibly moved and swore their unwavering loyalty towards her, deep within their hearts once again.
But when it comes to Dan. Everyone who had some goodwill about him initially stared at him like venomous snakes. How could he casually request, killing someone from our Gang? They inwardly thought.
Caitlyn finally calmed down and stared at Dan with complicated expressions, "Since your condition is something that I cannot meet, then negotiations are over and both of you are now expelled from the Gang..."
She declared and Charlotte\'s figure shivered. But Dan held her firmly in place as he dropped another bombshell, "What if the person that I want to kill is a mole that repeatedly reports everything that is happening to the Fierce Bulls Gang?"
Caitlyn\'s figure shook and so did the men who started racking their heads in thought. Ever since the Fierce Bulls Gang launched their offensive; she always found it strange as to why they were so decisive in attacking as if victory was certain, for them?
But even though it would be certain since they lacked the weapons to fight them. They should not know about that information since only a handful of people including Dan should know about their status quota.
But since they knew about it, it could only mean one thing. There definitely was a mole inside their Gang!
At this moment of realization, every member stared at each other with wary expressions on their faces. Some secretly prepared their weapons while someone, who stood at the very back of the formation, took a jadeslip, the size of a pebble and prepared to crush it in his palm.
Puchi!
Before he could exert any strength in his arms, his eyes widened in shock when he realized that a dagger protruded on his forehead. Everyone turned at him in horror as his body, collapsed on the ground.
"Dan, what did you do?! I haven\'t even accepted your condition and we still haven\'t even heard his side and you already killed him?! Are you challenging my authority?!" Caitlyn shouted in rage.
Dan merely glanced at her as he coldly chuckled, "Miss Boss, If I didn\'t kill him and waited for that so-called trial or questioning, he would\'ve already sent everything that we discussed in here including the existence of the Divine Arts that Trevor possessed."
His eyes momentarily flashed in a cold and murderous light, "As her lover, how could I have her suffer such risk?!" He loudly declared and Charlotte who was still in her transformation blushed like a young maiden.
Glancing at the men that stared at him in anger, he said, "If all of you are unconvinced, open his right palm and see the evidence for yourself!" Dan turned her back towards the group and dragged Charlotte with him as Caitlyn and her men, inspected the dead body of their comrade.
Their eyes widened in shock and anger when they realized that the man whom they treated closely like a brother, actually sold them out towards their nemesis, The Fierce Bulls Gang.
The anger of the men surged and they even desecrated his body, spitting on it with some even going so far as to feeding his limbs towards the dogs.
When Caitlyn turned around to look for Dan and Charlotte, she could not find any traces of them as her body, weakly fell on the ground.
Without the help of a Divine Art and Dan\'s Forgery skills. How could they succeed at their attack in the next few days? She could only blame herself for their departure as her expression, looked like she just aged for several decades as she stood up and went back to the hall.
