"Pass down the order, summon all Hall Masters, Elders, and Venerable Guests for a meeting!"
Zhao Honglie opened his eyes again, and his gaze had turned chillingly cold.
An endless fury arose in his heart.
"The Butcher, Liu Yuanhu... If this is indeed your doing, I, Zhao Honglie, swear I will exact an unbearable price from you!"

Canghe County's county office.

Stirring a dispute between the two factions.

Beneath him, Zhang Guangqun gritted his teeth and said:
"Sir, it was my negligence! That Butcher bastard must still hold a grudge over last time's Poison Bee Guest mission—this is my failure; I should've seen it coming!"
