Second-in-Command Min remained nonchalant. "As long as Lord Shao believes they're still breathing and is willing to trade that horse, it matters little to me."
Understanding his implication, the group exchanged knowing glances and chuckled. Even Second-in-Command Cao joined in, his laughter laced with a fierce edge. "Fine, we'll nab him alive. Once he's in my grasp, he'll rue the day he set foot in this world!"
As bandits, reneging on promises to authorities was par for the course. So what if they didn't release him after securing the horse?
If Lord Shao had the gall, he could come to the mountain and contest with them!
Fourth-in-Command Min chuckled, laying claim to the horse. "That steed is a gem. I saw it first. None of you better lay a finger on it when the time comes!"
Second-in-Command Cao snorted. "I only seek retribution!"
