Chapter 662: Chapter 662 Arms Deal (2)_1

This made Situ Xin, who had originally hurried Baibai to come down to the rescue, stop her halfway. Baibai, who was very displeased with the sudden braking, said to Situ Xin, "Master, what are you doing, why did we suddenly stop?"

"Look, Muli’s people are quite skilled. You see, I don’t even need to take action; they’ve nearly taken care of ’Yan’s’ men," Situ Xin said with a good mood as he watched Xiao Muli’s people knock down the subordinates of "Yan."

"Eh, that’s true. They should consider where their training in Ancient Martial Arts comes from. When has anything from the master ever been subpar? It’d be strange if they couldn’t beat them," Baibai, seeing the disgraced state of "Yan’s" men, felt her mood improve as well. She no longer dwelled on the sudden emergency braking.

The people of "Yan" felt stifled, realizing they were no match for their opponents. However, they hadn’t forgotten their mission. The two leaders of "Yan," unseen by Situ Xin’s group, exchanged a glance and then gestured to their teammates. Before one of Xiao Muli’s subordinates could react, the two leaders quickly pulled out a hand grenade from their bodies and threw it toward the military arsenal.

Meanwhile, as "Yan’s" men engaged Xiao Muli’s hidden subordinates near the military arsenal, Xiao Qing led Uncle Qiang and a group of their men out from their hiding place, advancing towards Xiao Muli.

But before Xiao Qing could get close to Xiao Muli, Xiao Qing and his men were already surrounded by Xiao Muli’s Xiao Family subordinates.

The foreign buyer from the deal with the Xiao Family, seeing Xiao Qing and Uncle Qiang suddenly appear, frowned and asked Xiao Muli in not so fluent Country H language, "Family Head Xiao, what’s going on here?"

"Mr. Edward, this is an internal affair of our Xiao Family. I apologize for the inconvenience caused by our family’s internal issues. Rest assured, our deal will not change. In a moment, I will take you to inspect the goods," Xiao Muli said calmly to Edward as if he hadn’t even seen Xiao Qing.

No sooner had Xiao Muli finished speaking than Xiao Qing burst into laughter, "Haha, Xiao Muli, don’t you think you’re being too optimistic? With me here today, do you really think that your deal can proceed smoothly?"

Xiao Muli ignored Xiao Qing completely, gestured for Edward to follow, and started heading towards the military arsenal.

Xiao Qing, seeing that Xiao Muli completely ignored him, felt a surge of anger in his eyes. He truly found Xiao Muli despicable for underestimating him so.

"Xiao Muli, my young master is speaking to you. What attitude is this?" Uncle Qiang, seeing Xiao Muli’s disregard for his young master, couldn’t stand it any longer and stepped up to reprimand Xiao Muli.

"And what are you supposed to be, a mere servant at that. What right do you have to speak, let alone stand here and talk about my master?" Xuan, unable to restrain himself and with a hint of murderous intent in his eyes, confronted Uncle Qiang.

Uncle Qiang was taken aback by the murderous intent in Xuan’s eyes, his complexion turning unsightly. Although Uncle Qiang had followed his master around and seen the world, including its bloody aspects, he was not on the same level as people like Xuan and Che who had truly killed with their own hands.

Xiao Qing couldn’t bear to see Xiao Muli looking smug and lost the composure he had maintained all day upon losing face in front of Xiao Muli.

"Xiao Muli, don’t be smug, I’ll let you know soon enough that our Xiao Family’s branch is not so easily bullied." Xiao Qing thought he had grown strong enough, but only when facing Xiao Muli did he realize that he was still far behind.

The more he felt oppressed by Xiao Muli, the less he tolerated being beneath him.

As the saying goes, to catch the thieves first catch the king. Believing himself now strong enough to compete with Xiao Muli, Xiao Qing planned to personally capture Xiao Muli to truly prove his strength.

However, Xiao Qing either overestimated his own strength or underestimated Xiao Muli’s. He was restrained before he even had a chance to take action.

Xiao Muli didn’t take Xiao Qing seriously at all and was too lazy to bother with him. However, since Xiao Qing had brought up the Xiao Family’s offshoot branch, he as the Family Head could not remain silent. "Xiao Qing, some things can be said, but there are others you’d better weigh before you speak."

After speaking, Xiao Muli gestured to the buyer and continued walking towards the military arsenal.

Edward, the buyer of this arms deal, had remained an observer the entire time. As long as there were no issues with the goods, he would not involve himself in any other matters. After all, his goal was to smoothly acquire this batch of military weapons.

And Edward, far from offering help, hoped that Xiao Qing and Xiao Muli would come to blows. That way, he’d be able to benefit from their dispute. Edward thought to himself that if he could acquire this batch of military weapons without spending a cent, it would make for a massive profit on this trip.

Xiao Muli caught a glimpse of the scheming in Edward’s eyes, and for an instant, a killing intent rose from him. This foreigner dared to plot against him—that was truly seeking death. But the killing intent on Xiao Muli’s body was momentary; it vanished the next second, concealed so well that only Xuan and Che, who had long been by Xiao Muli’s side, would have noticed.

Xuan and Che did not see the calculations in Edward’s eyes, so they were confused about the sudden surge of killing intent from their master, unsure of who had provoked his wrath. After all, even Xiao Qing’s provocations hadn’t elicited such a response from Xiao Muli.

Though they did not understand, Xuan and Che knew it was not the time to ask questions and simply followed quietly beside Xiao Muli, observing.

Xiao Qing watched as Xiao Muli led Edward towards the military arsenal while he himself was restrained by Xiao Muli’s men, unable to break free.

Xiao Qing felt like drawing his gun and spraying bullets to make a breakout, but looking around at the group surrounding them—other than Xiao Muli’s men, there were others with submachine guns with a very strong sense of danger. And those encircling them were aiming real guns with live ammunition at them.
