Urban Super Soldier King

Chapter 1125: Chapter 1125: True Gold Can’t Buy Brotherhood

The leg of Sky Thief Rat was injured by Xiang Yu, and now Xiang Yu is standing in front of him and has already been captured by him.

Now Hong Jinbao just needs to say a word to take him away, making him feel agitated inside.

“Sky Thief Rat, what do you want? The Chief already said, let Xiang Yu and his people leave with us.” Jin Guozhong stepped forward.

“I don’t want anything, although he is the Sect Leader, he broke my leg and injured so many of my brothers, there should be some explanation, right?” Sky Thief Rat ignored Jin Guozhong and looked at Hong Jinbao.

Hong Jinbao turned and looked at Sky Thief Rat seriously, “What kind of explanation do you want?”

Hong Jinbao is the Chief of Hongmen, although he rarely manages affairs within the sect, it doesn’t mean he ignores everything.

“It depends on whether your leadership is fair or not.” Sky Thief Rat stared at Hong Jinbao.

Everyone’s attention focused on Hong Jinbao, and now Hong Jinbao is deciding Xiang Yu’s fate.

“What kind of fairness do you want?” Hong Jinbao asked.

Sky Thief Rat sneered, “It’s very simple, leave his people for me to deal with.”

“Sky Thief Rat, don’t go too far, he’s the candidate nominated by the Sect Leader, why are you keeping Xiang Yu here?” Jin Guozhong said.

“Leave him! Leave him!”

At this moment, people from Holy Mouse Hall started shouting there. They are all Sky Thief Rat’s people and rarely interact with Hong Jinbao, so their affection for him is not deep.

Although they belong to Hongmen, they’re essentially Sky Thief Rat’s own team.

The scene was a bit chaotic, seemingly on the verge of exploding. Jin Guozhong and Poison Rose both moved closer to Hong Jinbao; they must ensure the Sect Leader’s safety.

If something happens to Hong Jinbao now, Hongmen will likely fall into chaos, giving their external enemies a chance to invade, leading to the demise of Hongmen.

“Little Zhi, it seems your wings have hardened.” Hong Jinbao said with a smile, but his smile appeared cold and sinister.

Sky Thief Rat shivered involuntarily; it had been a long time since Hong Jinbao called him by that name. Everyone called him Sky Thief Rat, so much so that he almost forgot his name was Tang Zhi.

Past events whirled rapidly in Sky Thief Rat’s mind; he knew Hong Jinbao well and understood his methods thoroughly.

If he opposed Hong Jinbao now, he knew he would meet a terrible fate.

Sky Thief Rat looked at his brothers around him, then gestured to them to move back a bit, which made the atmosphere much more relaxed.

Jin Guozhong and Poison Rose both felt relieved; they genuinely worried that Sky Thief Rat might do something excessive.

“Sect Leader, what do you think we should do about this?” Sky Thief Rat asked Hong Jinbao.

Hong Jinbao, as the Sect Leader of Hongmen, should ensure everyone’s fairness within Hongmen. But now the problem is clear: Xiang Yu broke Sky Thief Rat’s leg, and he can’t just let someone break Xiang Yu’s leg in return.

The situation had escalated to this point, and everyone was watching Hong Jinbao, wanting to know how he would handle it.

At that moment, Xiang Yu stepped forward first and cupped his fist toward Hong Jinbao, “Since the matter started because of me, I should be the one to deal with it.”

Xiang Yu then turned his head to look at Sky Thief Rat, “The cause was you capturing my people first, which led to our conflict. I broke your leg, and now I’ll return the favor.”

Saying that, Xiang Yu took out a dagger.

At this moment, Tie Zhuzi and Xiaoxuan, sitting far away, were desperately anxious, quickly rushing over.

Long Wu and the other two beside Xiang Yu also grabbed his arm.

“Brother Yu, don’t, at worst we’ll fight him.” Tie Zhuzi shouted.

Xiaoxuan didn’t speak; his eyes said the same thing. The several of them approached and held onto Xiang Yu, not letting him act rashly.

Yuan Huai also looked at Xiang Yu worriedly, but at this point, if Xiang Yu didn’t leave something behind, they couldn’t get past this obstacle.

What Hong Jinbao did for Xiang Yu was already considerate and thorough.

Xiang Yu smiled at the people around him, then said, “You should bear the consequences for your mistakes, don’t say anymore.”

“If anyone should do it, let it be me. I’ll make the cut.” Tie Zhuzi said, reaching to grab the dagger from Xiang Yu’s hand.

“Let me do it.” Xiaoxuan, usually silent, spoke now out of necessity.

Xiang Yu pushed their hands away, confidently saying, “What, you want to be the boss?”

Tie Zhuzi and Xiaoxuan, hearing Xiang Yu’s words, finally let go, though their eyes were filled with tears.

They had come to this point, money and people aplenty, yet they could not avoid such things.

“Brother Yu, I’m really upset.” Tie Zhuzi, burly and strong, yet in front of Xiang Yu seemed like a child.

People around were moved, envious of the brotherhood Xiang Yu and his people shared.noveldrama

Even Hong Jinbao, standing aside, sighed and shook his head. The hardest thing to find in the world is true affection, bonds like these are worth more than gold.

“Don’t be sad, it’s okay.” Xiang Yu patted their shoulders before attempting to stab his leg with the dagger.

“Hold on.” At that moment, Sky Thief Rat spoke suddenly, looking at Xiang Yu, “You broke both my legs; are you just going to stab like that and be done?”

“Sky Thief Rat, don’t be too much.” Jin Guozhong shouted angrily.

He was moved by the brotherhood of Xiang Yu and the others, genuinely wishing he had brothers like Tie Zhuzi and Xiaoxuan.

He used to think he was good friends with other Hall Masters, but the truth proved otherwise; it was merely a relationship based on hidden competition over interests.

“I’m not excessive; I’m stating the facts.” Sky Thief Rat smiled coldly and looked at Xiang Yu.

The show of brotherhood by Xiang Yu and his friends irritated him; perhaps, in truth, he was somewhat envious.

He had no one close enough to confide in around him.

“What do you want?” Xiang Yu asked Sky Thief Rat.

“I want a hand from you.” Sky Thief Rat said maliciously.

Without a hand, not only would Xiang Yu be unable to become the Sect Leader, but even being a candidate would be impossible.

“Little Zhi, you weren’t this ruthless before.” Hong Jinbao spoke up, looking at Xiang Yu and then turning to Sky Thief Rat, “At the Hall Master meeting, I already said Xiang Yu is a candidate for Hongmen Sect Leader. Knowing he’s a candidate, what exactly is your intention by going after him?”

Hong Jinbao’s voice wasn’t loud, yet to Sky Thief Rat’s ears, it was like thunder.

The matter was clear; Hong Jinbao wants to protect Xiang Yu, and Sky Thief Rat was at fault first.

If Hong Jinbao truly pursued the matter, Sky Thief Rat would be the one blamed.

“It was my oversight; I didn’t know he was a candidate at the time.” Sky Thief Rat said, somewhat flustered, trying to justify.

This issue could be big or small; if pursued and handled according to sect rules, he’d be finished.

“You didn’t know before, but you know now.” Hong Jinbao said.

Sky Thief Rat understood; this was Hong Jinbao giving him a way out. He could only clench his teeth and say, “In that case, let’s do as he said just now.”
