Chapter 834 - 832: Let Him Off
"Oh? But even if you’re willing to let me go, those people won’t." Chen Tianlong said deliberately.
"They won’t? This is the Black Alliance, am I in charge here or are they?" The Red-eyed Eagle gave Chen Tianlong a sideways glance and suddenly said, "Alright, you’d better not go out tonight, stay here."
"Oh, do I sleep in the same bed as you?" Chen Tianlong noticed the Red-eyed Eagle’s change in attitude and quickly joked.
"Hmph, dream on, I’ll make arrangements for you later." The Red-eyed Eagle said and then walked out of the room. She definitely wouldn’t dare call the servants, otherwise people would find out there’s a man in the room.
After a while, the Red-eyed Eagle came back, sweating profusely, and upon seeing Chen Tianlong’s smiling face, she glared at him and said, "It’s all because of you, I’m exhausted."
"Oh? You tidied the room yourself?" Chen Tianlong was taken aback, truly surprised that the formidable leader of the Black Alliance tidied the room herself. If he had known, he would’ve taken a photo and posted it on social media to show off.
"Hmph, get out of here quickly, next time don’t come in without my permission."
"At your service!"
Chen Tianlong made an agreement gesture, slipped out of the room, and went to the room next door.
Outside the villa courtyard.
Wu Chi brought dozens of men and surrounded the courtyard, waiting for any movement inside.
But after waiting for two hours, not only was there no movement inside, but the lights in the Red-eyed Eagle’s room went out, indicating she’d gone to sleep.
After all, Wu Chi didn’t believe that Chen Tianlong could defeat the Red-eyed Eagle, so now that someone turned off the lights, it must be the leader himself.
Then the question arises, where is Chen Tianlong?
Wasn’t he supposed to deal with the Red-eyed Eagle, so what was he doing in the courtyard?
With these questions in mind, Wu Chi stared blankly at the courtyard. It was almost eleven o’clock now. Since the leader turned off the lights, he couldn’t call to ask. So he simply told his men, "Leave a few people here to keep guard, notify me immediately if there’s any news about Chen Tianlong, and the others, withdraw."
The reason Wu Chi issued the order was that he feared the Red-eyed Eagle would blame him. If Chen Tianlong was indeed inside, there could be an excuse, but he couldn’t decide on it.
Human detection inside the villa was isolated, so it was impossible to know if Chen Tianlong was inside.
Another night passed without words. Until noon the next day, Chen Tianlong still hadn’t gotten up. The Red-eyed Eagle couldn’t help but knock on the door and then gently called, "You rascal, still not up?"
But after a long time, there was still no response inside.
The Red-eyed Eagle felt something was wrong and hurriedly opened the door to find the room empty. Clearly, Chen Tianlong had already left the courtyard.
Chen Tianlong had his reasons for doing this. The Red-eyed Eagle not killing him didn’t mean there was no trouble. The Black Alliance is a big organization; once internal strife occurs, it’s easy for a civil war to break out. If the people’s support wasn’t with her, no matter how powerful the Red-eyed Eagle is, she’d be ousted.
She might even be killed.
Just because Chen Tianlong couldn’t kill the Red-eyed Eagle doesn’t mean others in the Black Alliance couldn’t. Even the person who chased him that day was a Profound Dao one-star, so other high-ups wouldn’t be much lower.
If they set a trap to specifically target her, the Red-eyed Eagle would be in danger.
Now that Chen Tianlong left, the blame fell on him, giving everyone no excuse to defy the Red-eyed Eagle.
"Whew! Damn guy." The Red-eyed Eagle is smart; though she might be clueless about relationships, her emotional intelligence is high. She could tell that Chen Tianlong left for her sake.
Because of this, the Red-eyed Eagle started to have a good impression of Chen Tianlong. She recalled the feeling from last night’s kiss; even now, she felt extremely warm, incredibly excited.
Somewhere in the Black Alliance center.
Sure enough, Chen Tianlong hid in a small grove, where there were no cameras. This time, he came here to meet Lin Xiaoting, as he’s planning to go back soon. If Lin Xiaoting really wanted to return to Huaxia with him, Chen Tianlong would be very willing.
Putting aside romance, just from a friendship standpoint, she’s definitely a good buddy.
This area is the Black Alliance’s female villa complex, where Lin Xiaoting might be living. So Chen Tianlong hid here early in the morning to watch, hoping to see Lin Xiaoting come out.
Around eight o’clock, Lin Xiaoting hurriedly came out from the villa complex, looking very anxious. She had to be anxious because she heard that last night Chen Tianlong was hiding in her friend’s villa, and the courtyard was surrounded by Wu Chi’s people, life or death unknown.
Although she was nearly driven half to death by the rascal yesterday, loving someone is irrational, and that’s how Lin Xiaoting is.
"Meow!"
Suddenly, there came a cry from the woods, Lin Xiaoting, with her sharp hearing, reacted swiftly as the assistant to the highest leader of the Black Alliance.
In the Black Alliance, few people keep cats, so hearing a cat randomly meow definitely meant something was odd.
Lin Xiaoting looked towards the woods, at that moment, Chen Tianlong poked his head out and quickly pulled it back. Seeing him, Lin Xiaoting’s eyes widened. This guy actually ran out here.
After checking that there was no one around, Lin Xiaoting quickly ran into the grove and came to Chen Tianlong: "You rascal, you want to die, coming here. Since you managed to escape, go back to Huaxia."
"Oh, but I can’t bear to leave you. Weren’t you going to come with me back?" Chen Tianlong grinned, feeling much better seeing the beauty Lin Xiaoting.
"Hmph, who said I’d go back with you. Didn’t someone say he didn’t need me anymore?" Lin Xiaoting rolled her eyes at Chen Tianlong and spoke grumpily.
"Hehe, just joking, with a beauty like Xiaoting, I’d be lucky to have you, how could I not want you?" Chen Tianlong said and deliberately puckered up to kiss her, but she blocked him with her palm.
"Dumb Chen Tianlong, you’re in big trouble, yet you’re still being flirty. Quickly, find a way to escape from the Black Alliance. You killed Songmu and He Shang, those guys will definitely still look for you to settle the score." Lin Xiaoting became serious.
"Well, I’d like to, but your city gates have been checked very rigorously the past two days. Seems like more manpower has been added. Even if I manage to sneak out, I’d still be unable to board a ship and wouldn’t be able to go back." Chen Tianlong said helplessly.
"Alright then, let’s think of another way." Lin Xiaoting also felt dejected.
Ten minutes later, the two arrived near a corner of the city gate, looking at the dozens of guards keeping watch like an army, each holding a gun.
"Chen Tianlong, with this setup, looks like you can’t get out." Lin Xiaoting had lost hope, but the longer Chen Tianlong stayed at the Black Alliance, the higher the danger.
At this moment, suddenly a group of people entered through the city gate, it turned out to be a group of children, and among them stood a young man, looking about twenty-something, rather skinny, similar to Chen Tianlong.
