“You won’t kill me?”
Lou Zhengxiao’s body felt soft. He didn’t know what this guy did to his body and didn’t want to know. What he cared about was why he chose to release him.
If they were in each other’s position, Lou Zhengxiao would choose to solve the problem at its roots.
Ye Zhongming carried Xia Bai and looked at Lou Zhengxiao. He smiled and then left.
“Family, Family Head, what does he mean?”
His expression was hideous. He was still filled with rage, but there was a glimpse of despair.
His race member didn’t know, but he knew what that smile meant. He had treated other people like this before.
It was… Disdain.
He didn’t even care about you. He knew that you would take revenge, but he didn’t care. He had absolute confidence. Even if you tried to do things, you couldn’t hurt him at all.
Lou Zhengxiao always felt like he was a strong figure in the apocalypse. Even if he was temporarily using Soul Merchant, he thought it was temporary as he didn’t have a two-star gachapon. One day, he would stand in Ying City and look down on everyone. He might even get higher and look down on this province and country.
But Lou Zhengxiao realized that his thought was amusing. He couldn’t cross many people, for example, the guy that left.
If not for him tying up his woman, what would the outcome be if their lake island clashed with Cloud Peak?
Even if he wasn’t willing, he had to admit he was too arrogant. That arrogance wasn’t shown on his face, deeply affecting his plans for the family. He didn’t notice one thing, which resulted in losing his three sons.
It was maybe time to make changes.
“Let’s go.” Lou Zhengxiao told his other family member to drive the boat. He knew that he would take revenge, but he had no confidence. That was to give his three dead sons an answer.
Lou Zhengxiao didn’t know that this answer would be strongly affected three days later when he heard the news about Cloud Peak.

Xia Lei placed her fingers on her belt. Her four fingers tapped on her clothes.
In front of her was the hesitant Uncle Hai.
This standoff lasted a while, and Uncle Hai felt there was nothing to discuss. After all, the reason why the other factions were friendly was because they had a discussion previously.
Bargaining was something that was good during peacetime and was even more suitable now.
Not every faction could afford losses. You would get swallowed up in such a situation if you were slightly weaker.
For example, Hungry Tiger Cavalries who had suffered huge losses this time. Uncle Hai was sure they wouldn’t survive for long. Either they joined others, or they would get wiped out. There was no other path they could take.
He thought that this woman and her faction were like that. They wouldn’t clash with East Mountain Village. Even if strong, they would suffer losses in taking down East Mountain Village. Then they would get eaten by other factions.
So even if Cloud Peak tried to scare him into making a decision, he didn’t panic.
But no matter what, this woman maintained this stance. Apart from her hands, her eyes didn’t move at all.
Uncle Hai had to admit that she looked beautiful even if she was standing there like a commander. He admired her and felt like his advantage was flowing away.
He didn’t know where that feeling came from, but it was like that.
“Ten modified guns, and we will release them. This is our bottom line. Yes or no? One word!”
Uncle Hai lost his patience and reduced the conditions that they brought up.
“Moreover, we won’t disturb each other for the next half a year.”
Xia Lei finally moved. She placed her hand down. She looked at Uncle Hai and smiled like a flower.
“Uncle, look at how nice things are; we are still friends, right?” Xia Lei smiled, “But your conditions still have to be changed.
Uncle Hai frowned.
“Don’t be emotional.” Xia Lei wasn’t afraid, “My boss said that if you agree, then in the future, we wouldn’t invade each other and will even become good trading partners.”
“Of course, this will depend on your choice.”
Uncle Hai was impatient because of this beautiful woman that was his daughter’s age, “We can discuss this.”
He waved, and a person walked over. Uncle Hai gave some instructions, and he left. A moment later, Uncle Lu and the others were released. Along with them were ten modified guns.
Xia Lei took a look. The modified gun was different from the ones that Ye Zhongming modified. Ye Zhongming’s ones were changed in material, which made them different from regular guns.
But the ones here were different. These were changes in parts, strengthening the basic material.
Naturally, it wouldn’t be as good as Ye Zhongming’s, but it was slightly stronger than guns that weren’t modified.
She let her men equip these guns and slapped her pants with no dust on them. Her hips shook, and it caused many of the young East Mountain Village teens to lick their lips.
“End!” Xia Lei snapped her fingers.
Uncle Hai squinted her eyes and smiled.
“Right uncle, remember to say hi to Hai Dong for us. The boss said that god closed a door for that person and would leave him a window. He is usually a little foolish, but who knew he would be such a talented smith? Looking at these guns, we know that his ‘temper’ skill is perfect. His future is limitless. That is such good news.”
Xia Lei raised a thumb like she was impressed. She then waved goodbye to Uncle Hai and retreated into the forest.
“Uncle Hai, should we kill them?” That villager looked at Xia Lei with a tempted expression, but he still knew the side he was on.
Since he didn’t get a reply, he tilted his head and saw that the guy whose reputation in the village was high and he was the strongest person here. Now his head was covered in sweat and filled with fear!
