Chapter 660: Chapter 660 Something’s Wrong_1

Xiao Muli did not take it, but just glanced at Xuan’s hand and then withdrew his gaze.

To say that Xiao Muli was not at all surprised to see Xiao Qing’s photo would be an understatement, If it wasn’t for Xiao Qing, he would have been surprised. In that branch of the Xiao Family, aside from Xiao Qing being talented, he, Xiao Muli, simply didn’t consider anyone else worthy of attention. "Send someone to keep a close eye on Xiao Qing. Watch his every move, and report back.

As Xiao Muli spoke to Xuan, he kept walking; the subject of this transaction was their family’s big ammunition buyer. If they were to lose face and miss out on this deal, Xiao Muli might not care, but the other members of the Xiao Family certainly would.

And in order not to bring trouble upon himself, he had to make a show of compliance. Moreover, today, there were other urgent matters to attend to.

"Yes, Master, I will give the orders immediately."

On the surface, Xiao Muli’s arrangements had not changed, everything was the same as before. In other words, apart from Xiao Muli, Xuan, and Che, no one in his retinue knew that the situation had changed.

In the shadows, the setup had been methodically arranged after Xiao Muli learned that there had been a change in the situation. Now everyone was in position, just waiting for Xiao Muli’s command.

Xiao Qing now had everything in his hands; he was currently holding a telescope, watching every move of Xiao Muli at the docks.

"Young Master, our people are ready, just waiting for your order," Uncle Qiang was excited at that moment, thinking that his young master was about to reclaim what his master had lost.

He was eager to see how long Xiao Muli would remain smug after losing the Xiao Family’s Military Empire.

"Hmm," Xiao Qing was excited too, but unlike Uncle Qiang, he was more restrained and showed no sign of excitement on his face.

He had waited years for this opportunity, precisely to compete with Xiao Muli and to reclaim their family property. Only he knew the price he had paid. At this moment, the Xiao Qing family had already forgotten that the Military Empire of the Xiao Family was not originally their property. This Military Empire was the property of the Patriarch Xiao, something they had seized from a side branch of the family.

Through his telescope, Xiao Qing saw Xiao Muli walking towards the docks with his right-hand man Xuan and Che, greeting a few blond, blue-eyed foreigners and discussing something. He turned to Uncle Qiang and said, "Give the order, let Team One go to the ammunition warehouse. If possible, seize the weapons from the warehouse. If not, destroy them for me."

In Xiao Qing’s eyes burned a wild ferocity. If he couldn’t have it, Xiao Muli would not get his hands on it either. He wanted to see how Xiao Muli would deal with the upcoming events, without the weapons, and how he would face the buyers and the elder-level old men of the Xiao Family.

This time, the Xiao Family was set to take back not only their Ammunition Empire but also to pull Xiao Muli from his position as Family Head. Xiao Qing’s ambition was greater than his father’s; he wanted not only the Ammunition Empire but the position of Family Head as well.

"Yes, Young Master," Master Qiang suppressed the excitement bubbling within him. He picked up the walkie-talkie and instructed, "Team One, Team One, please respond, initiate the mission. Target: the ammunition warehouse. Seize or destroy."

"Roger that," came the confirmation from the walkie-talkie.

"Young Master," Uncle Qiang wanted to report to Xiao Qing, but Xiao Qing stopped him with a gesture. "I heard it all. Uncle Qiang, we should prepare as well." Xiao Qing’s eyes never left the telescope, never straying from Xiao Muli.

"Young Master, you should stay behind, let us proceed," Uncle Qiang didn’t agree with Xiao Qing taking personal action. He feared what would happen if their plan failed this time. If something happened to his young master during this operation, how would they cope? Therefore, until today, he had tried to persuade Xiao Qing to stand down.

"Uncle Qiang, no need to say more. I won’t easily change a decision I’ve made. Today, I must be part of it; I want to take what I desire from Xiao Muli myself," Xiao Qing emphasized.

With Xiao Qing making his stance so clear, Uncle Qiang had no choice but to swallow any more objections he might have had.

"Let’s go," Xiao Qing said as he saw through his telescope Xiao Muli and the foreigners about to head to the warehouse storing ammunition. He put down his telescope, drew his gun, and addressed the people behind him.

"The enemy has begun to move. Target: the ammunition warehouse."

"The enemy has begun to move, targeting the Master." As Xiao Qing and Uncle Qiang began giving orders and preparing to move, Xiao Muli’s people, who were hidden and monitoring every action of Xiao Qing and Uncle Qiang, relayed the targets of their movements at once.

Hence, as Xiao Qing and Uncle Qiang’s people began their operation, Xiao Muli’s people in the shadows were already in a state of full combat readiness.

Baibai, who had originally been enjoying the delicious fruits from Situ Xin’s space, perked up when Xiao Qing’s group began their move, opened his tiger eyes wide, looked at the ground, and rather excitedly said to Situ Xin, "Master, Master, those people over there have started their move."

"I know, wasn’t this inevitable? They came here today clearly planning to act," remarked Situ Xin, appearing completely disinterested.

"But, but Master, it seems something isn’t right. All of a sudden, a lot of people have appeared at Xiao Muli’s ammunition warehouse. Those people, they seem to be up to no good," Baibai, who had been ready to watch the show, became unsettled as the situation on the ground changed.

"What do you mean ’up to no good’?" Situ Xin grew concerned upon hearing Baibai’s comment.

Situ Xin, who had been relaxed, tensed up suddenly at Baibai’s words. He gathered back his Divine Sense that had been surrounding Xiao Muli and shifted it towards the warehouse where the ammunition was stored.
