Beauty and the Bodyguard

Chapter 1332 – Wrong Way

 Just how strong was this person? Was he an Earth class? Was there an earth class hiding here that didn’t want to be noticed?

 He scanned everyone in the group, with no avail- there were some practitioners here, but the most powerful was Golden class late phase peak, there wasn’t even a Mystic!

 But these were the strongest ones the graverobbers could get. After all, Mystics wouldn’t be selling their lives for them like this. They would rather be some bodyguards for the rich!

 Plus, there were many Mystics who were hired by the noble houses since they were the rarest of the rare in the common world. Let alone Earth class fighters!

 And now, there was a dean man in front of them, who had died without them noticing. The only possibility was that this person wasn’t in their team, but someone in the shadows, hiding after doing the kill!

 Of course, the other possibility was that there was a physical practitioner of Earth class here- Lin Yi’s trump card wouldn’t be able to identify his strength unless he saw him make his move! After all, getting to Earth class as a physical practitioner was extremely difficult- even a noble house like Wu Chentian’s didn’t have an Earth class physical practitioner!

 Mister Qiu’s death made everyone pale, especially Old Hao. He looked at Keng Bro, James, Lin Yi, and Lingshan, eyes sharp. “Which one of you did this? What is the benefit of this? We’re all lost and can’t even go back, what’s the point of this?”

 “Old Hao, that’s not a fair accusation- why would it be us?” Keng Bro wasn’t pleased. “Couldn’t it be that Mister Qiu who killed himself, who knows? Why don’t you ask Old Hei, who knows if it’s his idea to play severed arm like this, planting the blame on us to reap all the rewards!”

 “Bullshit! Even if I wanted to break an arm, I wouldn’t let Mister Qiu do it!” Old Hei was pissed off- his practitioner died all of a sudden, and he still had to be suspected? “Mister Qiu is a Golden class early phase peak that I spent a lot of money on, why would I let him die? I have plenty of men here that I could let die if I really wanted, why would I do that to my practitioner?”

 “Hmph, the guy’s dead, you can say he’s a Mystic, and we wouldn’t be able to prove it!” Kang Bro said coldly.

 “Alright! Put this aside first, and let’s discuss- what should we do now?” Old Hao said with a dismissive hand, helpless. “Old Hei, something’s up with this path.”

 “Yes! It only took more than ten minutes with five to six hundred meters, but now it’s been half an hour. It’s been a kilometer, and there’s still no signs of the end! It’s a wrong path for sure…” Old Hei shook his head, “I let Mister Qiu take the back because of that, but…”

 “Who knows what you were planning. Maybe you let us here on purpose!” Old Keng was a rough man, and with all the piss he had in his bladder, he had to relieve it.

 “Shit! Old Keng, you say shit like that again and see if I’ll shoot your face off!” Old Hei was getting pissed as well- he pulled out the gun at him.

 “Heh, heh, shoot me then. You’re a dog coward if you don’t!” Kang Bro knew that Old Hao was here, and Old Hei wouldn’t just do something like that.

 “Old Hei- you’d dare?” Old Hao said.

 The gun cracked into a bang! Old Hei actually fired! If Old Hao didn’t say that, he wouldn’t be as reckless, but Old Hao’s “you dare?” made him boil. Why wouldn’t he dare do that?

 His practitioner died out of nowhere, and he was pissed enough as he was- and these guys were suspecting him of acting? So what if he killed him?

 Kang Bro couldn’t even cry out before plopping on the ground, dead. Everyone looked at Old Hei in shock- James’ men pulled their guns out as well, pointing at Old Hei. They didn’t want to end up like Old Keng!

 “Old Hei, what are you doing? Why would you kill him?” Old Hao scolded.

 Lin Yi looked at Old Hao- was he actually stupid or pretending? Of course, Old Hei would shoot when he said that to him!

 “Old Hao, you saw it too, he wanted me to shoot. He said I was a dog coward if I didn’t shoot! I had no choice!” Old Hei hmphed coldly and turned to James. “Don’t follow suit, or we’ll all die here!”

 Old Hei’s men raised his guns at James’ men as well!

 “Enough! Even if Old Keng’s words aren’t pleasant, you didn’t have to kill him. I’m still here, aren’t I?” Old Hao said helplessly, “Our mission now is to escape, not fight amongst ourselves! If you want to follow, then follow. If you want to have revenge for Old Keng, then go to war with Old Hei, I won’t get involved- finish the fight, and we’ll go back!”

 Old Keng’s men wouldn’t continue working for him now that he had died, other than two of his right-hand men. With that thought, they put their guns down, except for those other two- who got killed by OLd Hei’s men!

 The situation now was clearly in Old Hei’s favor- getting revenge for Old Keng was a bad move.

 “Alright, let’s go back.” Old Hao left it at that.

 They walked back with holding hands, but this time, they moved much slower.

 A while later, they all stopped!

 Because, in front of them, the road split into two! Nobody knew where they’d come from, and there were no stone dust markings- Mister Qiu must’ve died here.

 “What do we do?” The people in front turned around.

 James opened his mouth and wanted to yell at Old Hei and blame him since he was the one leading everyone here- until he remembered what happened to Old Keng! He shut up- he was the only foreigner here, too. It wouldn’t be his interest if he fought.

 “What path should we take, Flying Sparrow girl?” Old Hao sighed and looked at Xiaoke. “You should be better at these things as a Flying Sparrow sect member- which path leads us out?
