127, A good show

Midnight.

The iron door of the inner prison let out a creaking noise, resembling a gaunt claw scratching at the depths of one's heart, causing a toothache-like sensation.

Lord Jin Zhu walked out from the door first, and outside, over twenty black-clad spies stood solemnly with their hands on their hilts.

He stood in front of the spies in black tight-fitting clothing, expressionless as he said, "The battle at Mudan Bridge has resulted in heavy losses for our brothers. But we dine on this livelihood; we kill the most vicious thieves and sleep with the most beautiful women in Hongyi Lane. Tonight, tuck your heads into your belts and follow me to achieve merit."

After speaking, he turned his head to West Wind and said, "Bring out Manager Yuan."

Manager Yuan stumbled out of the inner prison with iron shackles on his hands and feet; blood oozed from the wound on his thigh caused by Heavenly Horse's arrow as he walked.
