Chapter 1348: The Hand Hiding in the Shadows
The situation of Peng Bird and others is indeed dire, a true life-and-death predicament.The crisis imposed on them by others cannot be solved by themselves, it’s truly an injustice that can’t be explained away.
"No matter how much we curse the imposters, it won’t help." Peng Bird said forlornly, "As things stand, we have to admit that we are already on the opposite side of the Poison Dragon Mercenary Corps and General Hawan."
"The seven impersonators are all highly skilled and daring individuals. We can’t afford to focus our killing intentions on them. If we act against them, it will be our loss. Not to mention whether we can eliminate the seven, even if by chance we do, there’s still the Poison Dragon Mercenary Corps and General Hawan waiting for us." Flower Snake said seriously, "So, we disregard the impersonators. Since they dared to take this job, they must have the capability to deal with the Poison Dragon Mercenary Corps, even if General Hawan intervened, they would deal with the imposters. We need to stay out of it; otherwise, it will bring endless troubles."
They have recognized that they are not a match for the seven imposters; taking action rashly will only lead to heavy losses.
Even if they stretch out a murderous hand in anger to prove themselves, it’s useless, ineffective against the current crisis they face.
Attacking the seven great enemies increases the risk of exposure, making them a target for the Poison Dragon Mercenary Corps and General Hawan—it’s a foolish move. No matter how much they denounce the imposters, they dare not recklessly kill.
Because those are not killers, the possibility of inviting death is very high.
"So, are we to endure humiliation for survival, without the courage to strike at the imposters?" Mountain Ghost said angrily, "If that’s the case, how are we going to explain to our men, or what will others think of our joke?"
"It’s not about lacking the courage, but the right time hasn’t come." Peng Bird said, "These seven are daring and recklessly exposing us to unexpected calamities, putting all our lives at stake. This hatred must be avenged."
"When will the right time come?" Mountain Ghost asked.
"Since the seven imposters dare extend their murderous intentions toward the Poison Dragon Mercenary Corps and General Hawan, it proves that they have a lot of methods to rely on and firmly believe in their ability to accomplish the task, otherwise they would be seeking death. I don’t believe these seven came to seek death." Peng Bird pondered for a moment and affirmed, "Then we will patiently watch these seven fight with the Poison Dragon Mercenary Corps and General Hawan, and see what the final outcome will be, looking for the opportunity to strike."
"Even if the seven die, they will also consume a considerable amount of manpower from the Poison Dragon Mercenary Corps and General Hawan, which would mean paying a price for framing us, giving us a three-degree increase in our odds against the upcoming situation." Hua Diao said coldly, "If the seven manage to survive, they will suffer significant damage, or perhaps be completely destroyed, leaving us with fewer enemies to worry about, then we’ll wait for an opportunity, and see how capable these seven really are."
"That’s the only way, preserve our strength as much as possible while the three forces fight, we’ll watch from the shadows and choose the right moment to act." Mountain Ghost said, "It’s a pity, though, even if these seven can stir up a storm, they will eventually die at the hands of the Poison Dragon Mercenary Corps and General Hawan. I don’t believe the seven can defy the odds; not being able to personally kill those who set us up is a significant regret, but for our safety, we must make a choice."
The matter hasn’t concluded yet, truly uncertain of what will happen, but Mountain Ghost is very dismissive of the seven.
Compared to them, the seven are terrifying beings, yet faced with two formidable enemies, they can only be somewhat underestimated.
After all, with just seven people, facing two foes with superior numbers, the outcome is foreseeable.
"However, there’s one issue to consider; we can’t let the seven hide away, we must expose them, otherwise, if they hide in the dark, we will become the target." Peng Bird said gravely, "So, we must find the imposters and let them fight the two opposing forces, while we remain uninvolved."
"Here, this is our territory, from triple zero to elite circles, we have a presence everywhere, no news escapes our eyes and ears. Whether it’s General Hawan or the upcoming people from the Poison Dragon Mercenary Corps, none have as much influence as we do." Flower Snake said confidently, "No matter where the seven hide, we’ll find them."
"Once we find the whereabouts of the seven, I would confront them and ask who really is Peng Bird." Peng Bird said, unable to conceal his anger filled with murderous intent.
"Leader, your wish will soon be fulfilled." Flower Snake assured.
"Tell everyone below to behave, don’t gossip randomly, avoid exposing themselves unnecessarily, and reduce any unnecessary contact." Peng Bird said earnestly, "This is a tough battle, we need to protect ourselves at all costs."
Flower Snake, Hua Diao, and Mountain Ghost nodded in agreement.
Peng Bird continued to emphasize, "Furthermore, secretly gather the members of the action group to handle unexpected situations, we must maintain absolute initiative, can’t be careless, and ensure everyone is prepared."
For Peng Bird and the others, they must take measures to cope, at the brink of life and death, there’s no room for negligence.
Nor can they afford the slightest carelessness, fearing that one slip could have irreparable consequences.
Peng Bird has already mobilized secretly, making all necessary preparations.
The outside world knows little about Black Shark’s death, but they are aware of the inside information, how General Hawan was taken from Flower Snake’s casino, leading to Black Shark’s death while General Hawan is still alive, this indicates that the seven imposters used General Hawan’s life to force Black Shark’s demise.
They also know the seven are hiding in the dark but have been exposed in front of them, so they are nearby.
With careful searching, they should be able to find the whereabouts of the seven.
From beginning to end, the true Peng Bird group has not been exposed, those caught up in the turbulence are unaware of them.
Only from the shadows can they act effectively.
This is the principle Peng Bird firmly believes in.
The Poison Dragon Mercenary Corps and General Hawan have focused all their attention on the seven, whose identities they believe to be Peng Bird.
But from Peng Bird’s true self, they are imposters.
Having gained absolute control, Peng Bird finally sighs in relief.
Still, Peng Bird doesn’t relax yet, he’s thinking of finding an ally for himself.
