Lu Chengzhou looked at Gu Mang’s expressionless face and he lowered his head slightly so that his eyes were level with her.

He squeezed the back of her neck affectionately, as if he was trying to comfort her. He spoke word for word, slowly. "I will get back at them for you and I will avenge you."

Gu Mang looked up. Her gaze landed on his eyes, which were just an inch away.

She could see her reflection clearly in his eyes.

There was only her reflection.

The man used to have cold eyes but at this moment, they glittered and they were extremely gentle. It made one’s heart tremble.

It was like the only ray of light in the darkness that was lit up just for her.

When Gu Mang returned to Jijing Island, she was already prepared for the worst.

She pushed Lu Chengzhou away, but she did not expect him to come on his own to accompany her.

While she was at the peak, he stood even higher to protect her.

When she was on the battlefield, he came to accompany her even if it meant that he would die on the battlefield.

Lu Chengzhou looked into her clear, black pupils. "Leave everything to me this time."

"Okay." Gu Mang nodded obediently. Then, the murderous look in her eyes appeared again. "How are things going with the branches?"

Lu Chengzhou answered, "I have already sent people there. You will decide if they should go to Red Flame or Shadow League."

"Anything’s fine." Gu Mang didn’t care. She asked another question, "What about on Mingyu Island?"

Back then, Lu Chengzhou made a deal with Brahma to give up 20% of Red Flame’s territory.

Since Brahma had taken action against her, he would surely deal with Red Flame too.

Lu Chengzhou’s voice was gentle. "Don’t worry, I’ll deal with them. Are we still going to Brahma’s place?"

Gu Mang recalled the distress signal sent by Third Brother earlier on and she bit her lip. Her eyes were dark and cold as she replied, "My Third Brother is at Brahma’s place."

Things must be going badly there. Otherwise, he would not have activated the emergency contact device.

Lu Chengzhou paused and asked cautiously, "Can Responsive Dragon be trusted?"

Gu Mang nodded. "Friends worth dying for."

Lu Chengzhou knew that she had helped Responsive Dragon several times and even showed up personally before.

At this moment, he did not say anything else. He just grabbed her hand and walked out.

...

The people with the Head Elder received the news about Gu Mang and Lu Chengzhou leaving the small villa and heading towards Brahma’s manor.

Elder Bi pondered for two seconds and spoke, "Should we send people to help Brahma? Lu Chengzhou has quickly gained strength from the Black Market. If Brahma goes against him, the odds of winning aren’t high."

The Head Elder laughed calmly. "There’s no need for that, just watch." 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

Old Master Gu understood what his disappearance meant very clearly.

If it wasn’t Gu Mang who did it, then it was easy to figure out who did.

The Leng family wanted to keep their family status, so they cooperated with the Head Elder. Dead men tell no tales.

They had initially kept Gu Xian around as he could restrain Leng Xuan using him. Now, the Head Elder was completely tied to the Leng family.

Brahma had also taken action against Gu Mang.

Clearly, they no longer intended to keep Gu Mang around.

Old Master Gu squinted. Initially, everything could have been very smooth-sailing but Gu Mang broke free from everyone’s control and went against them.

She simply deserved whatever she was facing right now!

It was best if Brahma killed everyone associated with her!

Old Master Gu’s chest rose and fell slightly, and he raised his head to look at Elder Gu. "Where is Gu Si?"

"At Young Lady’s place." Elder Gu answered respectfully. He had been following Old Master Gu around for decades so he immediately understood what he meant. "A majority of them went to Brahma’s manor. The villa is lightly defended right now."

As soon as he finished speaking, the phone on the coffee table rang.

Elder Gu picked up the call and the other party said something which made him hand the phone over to Old Master Gu. "Old Master, it’s Head Elder."
