90: Chapter 90 Finding Someone to Settle Accounts
"Master Sun, it is this subordinate who is useless."
Vulture came before Master Sun, bowing his head in shame. He had always arrogantly considered himself the number one expert, but today he finally understood what it meant to have people beyond people, and heavens beyond heavens.
"Although I am not making excuses for myself, the opponent's strength was too formidable, and they had reinforcements arrive, so there was nothing I could do."
"What arrived? Who were the reinforcements?"
Master Sun's eyes widened, and his expression darkened instantly. He knew the strength of these attackers. They definitely would not have been defeated so easily.
"You said reinforcements? How many people came?"
Vulture fidgeted and refused to speak.
"What are you doing? Why aren't you speaking? Tell me quickly, how many people came?"
Sun Yan was anxious to know exactly how many people they had, because this would affect the plan he was formulating for the next step.
"Just, just one person."
After saying this, Vulture's face turned bright red. He really found it hard to say; if people found out that a single person had defeated so many of them, how could they continue to survive in the underworld? Truly, if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed it himself.
"What? One?" Sun Yan's worldview seemed to have been overturned. Anger burned continuously within him.
"You bunch of trash, one person beat you into this state, and you still have the face to come back? What were you thinking? I originally thought you would bring me good news, but I didn't expect you to be such trash. You have truly disappointed me."
Listening to Sun Yan's reprimand, Vulture felt even more ashamed.
Sun Yan stared at Vulture, looking at him coldly for a moment before speaking.
"Tell me, what exactly happened? Let me know how you were beaten into this state."
"Master Sun, it is like this. Originally, we had the upper hand, but ever since one person arrived, the situation was reversed..."
Vulture recounted everything that happened at the entrance of the Aolu Building word for word, without adding any embellishments. When mentioning Zhang Shan, Vulture's face was filled with fear. If Zhang Shan's strength hadn't been so formidable, they wouldn't have lost so miserably.
"Master Sun, I am really not exaggerating. This person is truly too powerful; I couldn't even last two moves against him. Look at the injuries on my body. I hadn't even finished two moves against him, and he had already injured me to this extent. You can imagine how terrifying he is, right?"
"If I hadn't given the order to retreat, the brothers who came back might not be here. We might have been completely wiped out."
"How is this possible? My plan..."
Sun Yan looked incredulous. He had not expected that his plan, which was so perfect, would be destroyed by one person. Just one person—this was something he would never have dreamed of.
"Then do you know who the person who helped later was?" Sun Yan said, trembling.
"I accidentally heard someone call him Robinson," Vulture replied.
"What? Robinson? That small arms dealer Robinson? How could it be him?"
At this, Sun Yan's expression changed again. He had originally thought that Robinson was just a small arms dealer who couldn't possibly contend with him, but he didn't expect him to have such formidable skills, taking on their entire squad by himself.
"Impossible, it can't be him. How could it be him?"
Sun Yan muttered to himself. If Zhang Shan really had such formidable skills, then his underlings wouldn't be weak either. He felt that having Tao Wei go to meet them was simply sending Tao Wei to his death.
Thinking of this, Sun Yan picked up the phone, preparing to call Tao Wei to tell them to retreat and not to engage with them again.
"Master Sun, there is no need to call; it is already too late." The old man, who had gone out to gather information at some point, suddenly appeared by Sun Yan's side.
"Just now, I went to gather information, and an underling ran back to say that the people at the Emperors Pavilion had also been completely wiped out. Although Tao Wei is not dead, he has also been controlled by them."
"What?" Sun Yan's expression changed again, and he broke out in a cold sweat.
"Why is such important news only being relayed now? What are the intelligence gatherers doing? What use are they to me?"
Sun Yan was almost panicked to death by these events.
The old man lowered his head in shame because this information had been relayed two hours ago, but he felt that with the Dragon Tiger King's strength, Zhang Shan definitely wouldn't be able to stir up any trouble, so he hadn't told him.
Now it seemed that if what Vulture said was true, then with Zhang Shan's formidable skills, Tao Wei and the others had long since fallen into Zhang Shan's hands. In other words, when they had tried to call and notify Tao Wei just now, they had already been captured.
This battle, which had started with full confidence, had now resulted in heavy losses. It seemed they were on the decline.
"Old friend, tell me, given the current situation, are we finished?" Sun Yan said, looking dejected.
"Master Sun, until the last moment, we don't know who will emerge victorious. Although we have suffered heavy losses, they must have suffered losses on their side too. Also, our master will help us. So, let's not boost others' morale and diminish our own."
The old man stood by, encouraging Sun Yan.
"That is easy to say. But look at how many people we have lost now, and our master hasn't made a single move. I feel like he is just watching the tigers fight from the mountain. It would be best if Robinson and I fight until both sides are severely injured, and then he comes out to clean up the mess."
"Old friend, this time, we are done for. Go down now and make arrangements to let the servants in the house disperse. After all, this has nothing to do with them. If we can save one person from dying, then let's save one."
The old man shook his head. "Master Sun, don't be like this. We definitely won't die. Don't worry, you must have confidence in yourself."
Sun Yan waved his hand, signaling him not to continue.
The old man took a deep look at Sun Yan and said, "Rest assured, Master Sun. I will go and arrange for them to leave now, but I believe we won't be wiped out so easily."
In fact, the old man had another plan in his heart. He thought that if this plan succeeded, they might not die.
"Is that so? I don't know who gave you that confidence." Before the old man could finish speaking, an icy, cold voice rang out in the hall.
"I'm telling you, none of the people here today are getting away."
"Who is it?" Sun Yan, the old man, and Vulture all looked toward the entrance at once, shouting with ashen faces.
They never expected that even though this villa was so heavily guarded, someone would still be able to break in.
Especially the old man, since these were all his subordinates. But now that someone had broken in, it felt as if he had been slapped hard across the face.
