Ye Qian's brows furrowed when he heard w.a.n.g De Shen's words. He was silent for moment and then he said with determination, "No, a brother of the Wolf Fang would not die so easily. I believe that Tian Chen is really still alive." But Ye Qian knew that he was only trying to deceive himself. The chances of Liu Tian Chen surviving was small, but Ye Qian firmly believed that until the day he found Liu Tian Chen's body, there was a chance he was still alive.

w.a.n.g De Shen sighed and didn't say answer. He didn't know how to comfort Ye Qian, but he knew that Ye Qian would be able to get himself out of this shadow quickly, after all he was the Wolf King Ye Qian of the Wolf Fang.

"Who is the enemy?" Ye Qian's tone had some coldness in it. Whether or not Liu Tian Chen was still alive, the people who had attacked him had to die. The Wolf Fang had this conviction, an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.

"They are insurgents about 40 li north of Lashu. Their leader is called Di Lun, a native of Burma. There are around 600 people, all locally born Burmese. They mainly smuggle drugs." Of course w.a.n.g De Shen knew the meaning behind Ye Qian's words. He gave all the information he knew about Di Lun.

"Di Lun?" Ye Qian murmured the name and felt that it was familiar. He couldn't help glancing at Li Wei. Li Wei seemed to understand Ye Qian's meaning and leaned over to whisper in his ear, "Di Lun was the employer."

To be sold out by the employer was one of the greatest fears of a mercenary. If the Wolf Fang couldn't manage to get justice for themselves then they didn't deserve a place in this world. Even if they possessed great strength they would always be looked down upon by other mercenaries. Ye Qian nodded. No wonder he felt that he heard the name before, it turned out to be the employer Jack had told him about. "Senior Brother, can you help me?" Ye Qian turned to w.a.n.g De Shen and asked.

"Don't worry Little Boss. Even if you didn't ask, this old brother would have helped. Tomorrow morning I'll gather all my brothers to raid their nest and exterminate Di Lun." w.a.n.g De Shen said without the slightest hesitation.

Ye Qian shook his head and said, "Senior Brother, I appreciate your good intentions, but this is the Wolf Fang's own business. If we relied on outside help, even if we exterminate Di Lun we would never have a place in the mercenary world anymore. Moreover, dealing with one Di Lun wouldn't require so many people. Senior Brother, if you really want to help, then let me borrow some weaponry. I'll return them to you right after I settle this matter, it will be doubly repaid."

"Little Boss, you talk like we're strangers. We're all brothers, don't talk about returning or not returning. If Little Boss wants equimpment you only have to say the word. Tomorrow morning I'll take you to the ammunition dump and you can pick whatever you want, as much as you want." w.a.n.g De Shen said.

"Many thanks!" Ye Qian said.

That night, Ye Qian and Li Wei slept at an early hour. A big battle was near so they had to keep their bodies in optimal condition.

Ye Qian and Li Wei got out of bed early the next day. w.a.n.g De Shen brought them to the ammunition dump to pick out the arms and ammunition Ye Qian required, then had a person drive them out. After leaving w.a.n.g De Shen's camp, the soldier excused himself and left, leaving the car behind, saying it was on w.a.n.g De Shen's orders. Ye Qian didn't argue with him, but turned to Li Wei and said, "We don't know much about this territory or our target, I'll have to trouble you to go ahead of us and scout around. The others and I will follow."  

"Yes!" Li Wei was not his usual lackadaisical self, he saluted and then turned to leave. There weren't many cars when Li Wei reached the road but he was able to quickly intercept a tricycle. Li Wei was an expert tracer, having him scout out the enemy was most ideal, even if the enemy were to discover him he would still be able to slip away unharmed.

After Li Wei left, Ye Qian dialed James' number, "James, have the other brothers arrived?"

"Everyone I could get in touch with; they're with me right now." James said.

"Good, hurry up and come to XX Mountain, we'll wait for you guys at the foot of the mountain." Ye Qian said and quickly hung up the phone.

After approximately half an hour, a jeep approached them at great speeds. Crack. The ear-piercing sound of the break echoed as the vehicle came to a stop next to Ye Qian, and five people exited. Aside from James and William, the others were Gray Wolf, Mo Long, second to none at sniping in the Wolf Fang and also good at camouflaging. The Forest Wolf, Feng Lan, an expert in jungle combat while also possesses considerable knowledge and great experience in guerrilla warfare. And Storm Wolf, Qing Feng, was proficient in firearms, any firearm in his hands seemed to have a life of its own.

"Boss!" all five men saluted orderly and shouted in chorus. Being called Boss was a little awkward, which destroyed the mood. Although Ye Qian was the one who called them here, in his eyes, Wolf Fang only had one leader, and that was Tian Feng, their founder.

Ye Qian faintly nodded, walked back to his car and opened the trunk, revealing large quant.i.ties of weapons and ammunition, and said, "These are this operations weapons, divide it amongst yourselves."

The five walked to the car, and one could only hear the clicking sounds, as all five men were practiced in handling guns and inserting the ammunition. "Boss, whereabouts did you get this stuff? They're really outdated." Qing Feng looked at the gun he was holding in amus.e.m.e.nt.

"Did you want me to get you a tank?" Ye Qian coldly asked.

Qing Feng was a little startled. It had been a very long time since he had seen Ye Qian this fired up, this matter with Liu Tian Chen must have really angered him. After all the ammunition had been divvied up, Ye Qian looked at his watch for the time and said, "Li Wei went ahead to scout the place. Mission a.s.signments can wait till we get there. Now, we move out."

As Ye Qian's voice faded, n.o.body dared to show any bit of slack. One by one, they got into the car and sped in the direction of their objective.

In the car, everyone was silent, each checking their own equipment, and the mood grew increasingly dour. Ye Qian's face was even more calm and sombre, as his only wish was for Liu Tian Chen to be alive. Even if that wish was inconceivable, Ye Qian was willing to bet that a brother of Wolf Fang would not go down that easily.

The sun was slowly setting behind the mountain, and the darkness, like a hungry demon, was moving ever closer, swallowing all trace of light from the earth. When the darkness completely enveloped the sky, they arrived. All around, mountains towered and trees grew lush. They were already as close as they could get to Di Lun's guerilla band's territory, so everyone was forced to dismount and continue on foot. They covered the car with leaves and Ye Qian led the other six of Wolf Fang towards the huge mountain.
