At the first toll booth…

"How come there's nothing from them at all, brother Tong? It's been many days now. Or are they afraid of us?" Yan-Yu, who was sitting next to Tong-Kuang, said with a smile…

"No, no, no, you're wrong, skinny. They're not just afraid of us, but they're very afraid of us. I think they probably packed up and ran away by now. Hahaha!" Ji-Zhung-Gong said with joy and a happy smile too…

"Don't be reckless. Even though it's been many days, we can't be relaxed. Besides, our men reported that they started moving their troops back to the castle." Tong-Kuang said calmly…

When Yan-Yu and Ji-Zhung-Gong saw how serious Tong-Kuang was, they changed their gestures instantly. Then Yan-Yu asked…

"Wouldn't it be bad for us if they really get together, brother Tong? I heard that they have about two thousand of them. We only have about 300. And that includes the reinforcement that just arrived." Yan-Yu asked out of wonder…

"Don't worry! I've already had a plan…"

Bang!

Tong-Kuang did not have a chance to finish the sentence, a door flung open. One of the newsmen rushed in to make a report. He said…

"Respecting Master Tong-Kuang! Our spies reported that the third toll booth had been destroyed, sir!"

"Destroyed?" Yan-Yu was shocked to hear that. So, he said, "How is that possible? We haven't done anything." Yan-Yu scratched his head out of confusion after finishing the sentence…

"The spies said that they saw a group of people destroying the third toll booth when they got there, sir. The booth was destroyed easily because the boss was not there."

"And who destroyed the third booth?" Tong-Kuang asked while crinkling his eyebrows…

"Our spies said that they wore black outfits and covered their faces, so they didn't know who those people were, sir."

"Wearing black outfits?"

Tong-Kuang was curious because he could not think of anyone who attacked the third toll booth. He had done some research on the enemies of the Mountain Tiger bandits and knew that most of their enemies were destroyed. The rest were unable to harm the bandits anymore…

The news made Tong-Kuang feel uncomfortable because he did not know who else would attack the third toll booth. The whole thing made him doubt his plan…

"Send the spies out to continue to oversee what's going on. If there's something wrong, tell them to come back immediately."

"Yes, sir!"

As soon as Tong-Kuang finished his sentence, the young man went out of the room instantly…

"Do you know who did that, brother Tong?" Ji-Zhung-Gong asked with wonder…

"Chubby! Are you nuts? Didn't you hear the reporter? They all covered their faces! How would they know who those people were?" Yan-Yu teased Ji-Zhung-Gong after he heard Ji-Zhung-Gong's question…

"You!"

"I know that! But brother Tong might know who they were, so…!" Ji-Zhung-Gong found it hard to get back to Yan-Yu because Yan-Yu was right…

"I also don't know who they are, but it's good for us because it saves us time. Alright! I want you to take some men with you to the closest Cave of the Immortal and seize it."

"Since they called their troops back to the castle, it means that the Cave of the Immortals must be free. So, I want you to seize it and take all Qi energy stones that you can get and transfer them back to the clan immediately. I'll stall them from here. And let me know as soon as the mission is done." Tong-Kuang told the plan to Yan-Yu and Ji-Zhung-Gong, who were listening with a serious face…

"Yes, brother Tong!"

Yan-Yu and Ji-Zhung-Gong left Tong-Kuang right after they heard the plan. They prepared a hundred men to go with them to seize the Cave of the Immortals and take all the Qi energy stones in the cave and send them back to the clan…

Rustle!

"Respecting brother Tong! The black-outfit men who destroyed the third toll booth worked for the seventh prince from Greenland, sir! The seventh prince came to see the leader of the bandits for their business. After following them, I see that they can be as strong as us."

The man who just made a report was Lang-Guang-Kuang. As he strolled around to check the forest according to Tong-Kuang's order, he saw what happened to the third toll booth. So, he followed the black-outfit men until they reached the camp where the seventh prince was. That was how he knew the truth about the attackers of the third toll booth…

"The seventh prince!?"

Tong-Kuang spent a while crinkling his eyebrows and thinking about who the seventh prince was. Then he remembered him and let out a light smile…

"This is good! It's our luck, indeed! Hahaha!" Tong-Kuang said while laughing out loud with joy…

Lang-Guang-Kuang, who was next to Tong-Kuang, was surprised to see Tong-Kuang that way. It had been years since he saw Tong-Kuang smile and laugh like that…

"I need you to give this secret letter to the Mountain Tiger Bandits for me, Lang-Guang-Kuang!" Tong-Kuang started to write a letter the minute he finished the sentence. Then he finished the letter and handed it to Lang-Guang-Kuang instantly…

Grab!

"A letter?"

"What kind of letter is this, sir?" Lang-Guang-Kuang took the letter while asking a question with curiosity…

"Just give the letter to them! And don't let anyone know who you are. It would be best if you dress in black like those men." Tong-Kuang replied with a smile…

"Yes, sir!"

Rustle!

After the conversation, Lang-Guang-Kuang disappeared instantly. He rushed to send the letter to the Mountain Tiger Bandits, even though he was curious to know about the message in the letter. However, he trusted Tong-Kuang anyway, no matter what was in the letter…

Tong-Kuang actually did not write anything special in the letter. He just wrote a revenge message and intentionally made it look like it was from one of the bandits' enemies. Tong-Kuang used the opportunity to gain for the invasion. He was also well aware of the reputation of the seventh prince…

Before working for the Tian-Tang clan, Tong-Kuang lived in Flowers City, Greenland. That was where he met the seventh prince. One day, he got a job to accompany a caravan from Greenland to the Blueland. That was the time that the Mountain Tiger Bandits were still active…

The seventh prince also had the duty to accompany the caravan. That was how they met. From seeing the seventh prince, Tong-Kuang knew the kind of a person the seventh prince was. He liked to take advantage of others. So, he knew that the seventh prince associated with the Mountain Tiger Bandits…

This was the reason why Tong-Kuang sent the letter to tell a lie to the bandits and plan for the bandits to fight with the seventh prince. The whole thing prompted Tong-Kuang to laugh because everything fell into place for him. It made him plan the next step easier…

Three days had passed…

After all the bosses came back with their troops and everything to the castle, the peaceful castle had turned into something different with about a thousand men chatting to one another…

"Did you hear about the destruction of the toll booth that boss Pu-Jee oversaw?" A middle-aged man asked…

"Yeah, I did! They said that everyone was killed, including boss Pu-Jee's family." Another man replied with a tint of fear…

"Just keep it down, guys! The other day, boss Pu-Jee cut a guy's head off for saying that. He's still upset about what happened, so you need to be careful if you don't want to end up like that guy." A man, who was standing beside the two men, warned the two men with a firm look…

As soon as the two men heard that, they had to stop talking about the subject instantly. They felt lucky that boss Pu-Jee was in the meeting, otherwise, their heads might have been off their shoulders by now if he heard what they said…

In the grand hall of the castle in the middle of the forest, a group of men standing and chatting to one another with great worries. They were the bosses of the offices and toll booths that had not been destroyed…

"How are things with you, boss Gong-Zuo?"

"I've brought all my things and people to the castle. What about you, boss Tong?"

"Me too. But we haven't heard from boss Xi-Shan. Don't know if something happened to him…"

In the grand hall, the bosses asked each other about the moves to the castle. The atmosphere in the room was extremely depressing because it was about the Mountain Tiger Bandits being severely attacked…

Clomp! Clomp! Clomp!

All of a sudden, Da-Hu and the three commanders arrived at the grand hall. Si-Feng did not come with them because he was still injured and needed a rest. Everyone stood up to pay respect to Da-Hu and the three commanders…

"Respecting leader!"

"Respecting commanders!"

Da-Hu walked up to his seat and waved his hand to sit everyone down…

Rustle!

"Alright! I hope everyone got back safely." Da-Hu said while looking around the room to check the number of people in the room. He then said, "I would like to extend my condolences to boss Pu-Jee for losing his family, as well as the other two bosses too, in these unexpected attacks from our enemy. I would like to also apologize for not taking better care of us." Da-Hu said sadly…

Rustle!

"Please don't blame yourself, sir! We all know that you've been taking great care of us." A middle-aged man, who also lost their family in the attack, said…

"That's right, sir! It's those bad guys' fault! They attacked us without letting us know. I will get back from them a thousand times!" Another man, who also lost his family in the attack, said with utmost grudge…

"Yeah!"

Then all the bosses started to cheer them up in agreement with them. They had now turned into the people who were craving revenge. The atmosphere got back to where it was like in the first meeting…

"I understand you well, but I can't lose any more men. So, I think that…"

Bang!
