Chapter 784

"My Lord, you went to attend the meeting organized by the Thorn Emperor yesterday, don't you have anything to say?" A certain high-level member spoke, fearing no chaos.

When they learned that Xu Tian had left the Thorn territory unscathed, they were all very shocked.

When the Wolf King was most aggressive in attacking Thorn, how could the Thorn Emperor let go of a former enemy?

However, even if Xu Tian didn't die on Thorn's turf, they weren't worried.

After all, keeping the Wolf King still had its uses for them.

"Do I need to report to you where I went and what I did?" Xu Tian snorted coldly, his gaze fixed on that high-level member.

The high-level member smiled playfully and didn't speak again.

"Wolf King, now is not the time to dwell on these things. We asked you to come over because there is an important matter to discuss with you."

Another elder spoke up.

"Discuss what?" Xu Tian said straightforwardly. "I have already heard that one of our branches was ambushed by a gang subordinate to Thorn and suffered heavy losses."

"That's right." Zhou Lao Si said. "Our branch had a conflict with a gang subordinate to Thorn. The other side, relying on the backing of the Thorn headquarters, was fearless and directly ambushed our branch. The people at that branch were almost completely wiped out."

"Trash!" Xu Tian slapped the table hard. With the Wolf King's personality, he would definitely be furious upon hearing this news.

For Thorn's subordinate gang to be so reckless meant they didn't take their Azure Wolf Hall seriously at all.

The Wolf King was originally a reckless brute who feared nothing. Having received such a provocation, he would definitely not swallow his anger.

"Now is not the time to lose your temper. The most urgent task is to come up with a strategy as soon as possible." A glimmer of calculation flashed in Zhou Lao Si's eyes. "Our internal ranks are currently divided into two camps. One side feels we should fight back at all costs, even if it means perishing together with Thorn, we cannot back down; the other side believes it's just a branch, and it doesn't matter if it's lost. Since we know we can't win, it's better to settle the matter, recuperate, and accumulate strength."

"Of course, how to proceed in the end still requires your personal decision, Lord Wolf King."

As soon as Zhou Lao Si finished speaking, the eyes of everyone present fell on Xu Tian.

No matter what he chose, he would eventually face a dilemma.

If he chose to fight back, he would definitely suffer a major blow to his vitality;

but if he chose to settle the matter, it would

make Thorn even more unscrupulous.

Today they dared to incite a subordinate gang to wipe out a branch of the Azure Wolf Hall, tomorrow they would dare to bring people to the headquarters to find trouble.

What's more fatal is that with the Wolf King's personality, it's impossible for him to settle the matter.

Therefore, this question is equivalent to putting Xu Tian on a fire to roast; no matter what he chooses, he must face a crisis.

Xu Tian didn't speak immediately.

He was considering how to perfectly resolve this crisis and maximize the use of this opportunity to establish his prestige.

At the same time, he also wanted to use this opportunity to try to find flaws in the Thorn Emperor.

If he led people to attack Thorn's subordinate gang, how would the Emperor react?

Would she send people to wipe out the Azure Wolf Hall, or act as if nothing happened?

If the Emperor could tolerate even her own subordinate gang being wiped out, he had to suspect that this woman was Tang Bingyan.

Because ever since the moment of his rebirth, Xu Tian knew that in this world, only Tang Bingyan would indulge him without any bottom line.

"Zhong Ling, Zhong Yu, what are your thoughts?" After Xu Tian made up his mind, he looked sideways at the two little girls sitting on his right.

"What's there to worry about? Of course, we go directly!" Zhong Yu was the first to speak. "These people have bullied us right to our faces. If we swallow our anger, they will definitely become even more unscrupulous!"

Xu Tian had long expected this girl's thoughts. Don't look at how Zhong Yu looks like a cute girl on the outside; in reality, her nature is that of a warmonger.

The fact that she could be heavily relied upon by the Wolf King might be because their personalities were similar.

Zhong Ling pursed her lips, clearly appearing to disagree with Zhong Yu.

"Zhong Ling, what is your opinion?" Xu Tian asked.

"The strength of Thorn's subordinate gang cannot be underestimated. Rushing to attack them will do us no good." Zhong Ling pondered for a moment before saying, "And it is said that this subordinate gang has a close relationship with the headquarters. If they are attacked, the headquarters cannot sit idly by. The situation we will face then is a direct war with Thorn."

"This time we only lost one branch. Even if we abandon it directly, it's not a big loss." After Zhong Ling finished speaking, she looked up at Xu Tian. "Brother Yi, this is my thought."

"Hmm, I understand." Xu Tian nodded, his gaze sweeping over the high-level members in the meeting hall, then he cleared his throat

and said, "Pass the order down: this time I will go personally to capture this subordinate gang of Thorn."

In an instant, the whole room was silent.

Zhong Ling opened her mouth in surprise, but in the end, she didn't say anything.

As for the other high-level members, they looked at Xu Tian as if he were a fool. Even those who had been shouting the loudest about fighting back earlier now had expressions of disdain and mockery on their faces.

Talking at a meeting and inciting the atmosphere wasn't against the law, and nothing was lost, but if they really had to take action, that was no joke.

Even the most radical high-level members in the previous discussion hadn't really wanted to immediately lead people to attack Thorn's subordinate gang.

"Wolf King, you are so reckless and hasty, where does that leave the brothers of our Azure Wolf Hall? That is a subordinate gang of Thorn! Once the war starts, can we withstand Thorn's offensive?" A high-level member slapped the table and jumped up, shouting at Xu Tian with an unhappy expression. "You are treating our lives as a child's play!"

"He makes sense. We are currently beset by internal and external troubles, and we still have to go and seek justice for the branch. Can we handle it?" Another high-level member echoed. "Besides, that subordinate gang of Thorn is in Nanshan, so far away from Kun Cheng. It's already disadvantageous for us to mobilize so many people and travel such a long distance to fight."

"My Lord, you cannot sacrifice the entire Azure Wolf Hall because of personal heroism..."

"That's right! My Lord must think twice, don't be impulsive!"

The high-level members in the meeting hall spoke up one after another to refute, all feeling that Xu Tian's decision was extremely absurd.

"Heh... when I walked in just now, you were arguing so fiercely, and many people said they wanted to capture Thorn's subordinate gang immediately." Xu Tian looked at the crowd with a cold sneer. "Now that it's really time to act, you've all turned into shrinking turtles?"

The high-level members who had been arguing the loudest just now blushed, but expressions of defiance appeared in their eyes.

"Even if we go to war, we must plan carefully." A certain high-level member said unconvinced. "If we send people to Nanshan, they will definitely be seen by the eyes and ears of other gangs in Kun Cheng. Once the news spreads, do you think Thorn's subordinate gang won't be on guard? If they report to Thorn in advance and ask the Thorn headquarters' forces to take action, attacking from both inside and outside, then we will be attacked from both front and back and be completely wiped out!"
