Could it be that they’d been tricked by someone?

“Stop for now!” Number 061 yelled loudly.

“It’s a ceasefire!” Chu Yang shouted in a clear voice.

Following the call for a ceasefire from both team captains, all the people caught up in the irresolvable fight came to a stop despite still being unbearably angry.

Number 061 ran swiftly over to that feeble-breathed number 064 and shouted out a question: “Did you take their crystal fragment?”

Number 064 face filled with confusion: “……”

Then, he shook his head.

“Liar! You’re clearly the person who stole my crystal fragment!” Xiao Luo got so angry that she was practically stomping. “The cut my sword made in your right sleeve shows clearly that it was you!”

The captain of the Thorn team unconsciously reached toward number 064’s arm.

There was indeed the mark of a sword having slashed across 064’s shoulder.

Indeed…!

Number 061’s eyes narrowed as he reached into number 064’s hidden chest pocket!

That thin ice-cold fragment was lying there quietly.

For a split second, there was a complicated expression in number 061’s eyes.

Upon seeing that, the tension in Chu Yang’s gaze eased a little. He said calmly: “Number 061, do you remember our agreement to have an amicable cooperation?”

“What amicable cooperation?” Number 064’s looked at his captain bewilderedly.

Number 061 suddenly regained his senses at this moment. How could he have forgotten about that?!

Number 064 hadn’t actually been present when they made the agreement, so he had no idea that his own team had done such a thing. In other words, if number 064 had ambushed and robbed Chu Yang’s team of their crystal fragment, that would have been due to the hostile relations.h.i.+p between the Thorn guild and Purgatory City.

This meant that it wasn’t inherently wrong.

“Number 061?” Chu Yang looked at Number 061 nonchalantly, s.h.i.+fting his gaze to the latter’s hand.

Number 061 slowly withdrew his hand from Number 064’s chest pocket and unfolded his palm. There was nothing on it.

There was a slight sense of shock in Chu Yang’s expression!

Number 061 sneered: “There’s no crystal fragment. In other words, you were slandering my team member… and you even tried to kill him?”

The thing Number 061 wanted to confirm was whether Su Luo had made a fool out of him.

This was because he, like Chu Yang, suspected that there was a third party interfering and pulling the strings from behind the scenes. However, Number 061 had just found verification on Number 064’s body that he was the one, not Su Luo in disguise, who had attacked and stolen from Xiao Luo. For Number 061, knowing this was enough.

Chu Yang and the others had initially been waiting for the captain of the Thorn team to hand over the crystal fragment, but now, it appeared that he wasn’t going to do so.

Number 061 knew that although his side would win this intense conflict, Chu Yang’s team would inflict serious damage on them. In that case, the gains truly wouldn’t make up for the losses his team would suffer for this mission.

“You have two choices now.” Number 061 looked at Chu Yang coldly. “Die in battle! Or… will you get lost?”

The expressions of everyone on Chu Yang’s side turned sour. Why were they being accused and berated like this? When had they ever suffered such humiliation?

At this moment, all of their gazes focused on Chu Yang. Each line of sight was like a sword piercing through him.

Chu Yang hesitated and then hesitated some more.

His arm hung tensely by the side of his body as he clenched his fist tight. The protruding cyan veins on his hand were enough to show his inner torment.

“Big Brother!” Xiao Luo tugged at Chu Yang and gazed at him pleadingly. My crystal fragment… The crystal fragment that had been so difficult for them to find…

“Big Brother, we can’t go. My crystal fragment……” Xiao Luo pleaded persistently. The crystal fragment had been stolen from my hand. I couldn’t simply leave like this. I truly couldn’t……
