Chapter 52

Scarlet blood splattered on the ground, and Viper clutched his arm and was pushed down heavily; a person jumped out from behind and killed the man with a knife.

Seeing the assassination failed, the man immediately had thoughts of retreating, but he didn't expect to be surrounded by people from the Viper Stronghold.

Originally, the bandits of the Viper Stronghold were just muddling through, but upon discovering that their own boss was in trouble, they naturally approached in the first instance.

Viper stood up with a ferocious face, the wound on his arm deep enough to see the bone.

If it weren't for his worry about any accidents today, and specifically arranging for a brother with good skills to protect him in the dark, he would probably have already gone to the underworld.

Seeing the action failed, Viper Snake suppressed the fear in his heart and stepped forward to shout: "Brothers, chop him!"

With the help of the torchlight, Viper finally saw the assassin's appearance clearly and immediately interrupted: "All of you, stop."

The bandits naturally prioritized the orders of their own boss; only the guilty Viper Snake pretended not to hear, holding his knife and wanting to take the opportunity to kill him to silence him.

The four captains under Viper stood out to block Viper Snake, while ordering their subordinates to control the assassin.

Without waiting for Viper Snake to speak, Viper looked at Viper Snake's eyes with a dark face: "I haven't treated you badly!"

Once these words were spoken, Viper Snake knew that Viper must have understood the ins and outs of the matter, but he still held a fluke: "Big... Big Brother, what do you mean?"

Viper was suddenly angered into laughter; he didn't expect Viper Snake to still be pretending with him at this time.

"This person was brought up the mountain by you yesterday, and today you specifically named him to be brought along, and just now he was fighting with you and got close to me. Can you give me an explanation?"

Thinking he had done it very covertly, he didn't expect his every move to be under Viper's surveillance. Viper Snake laughed up at the sky: "Everything I did was under your surveillance. Is this what you call not treating me badly?"

Viper looked at Viper Snake with disappointment: "The people from the Centipede Stronghold came to find me, and when I saw you weren't there, I sent my men to look for you, and that's how I discovered this."

Of course, Viper Snake wouldn't believe this sentence, roaring somewhat crazily: "I am the Second Boss of the Viper Stronghold. Do I still need to report to you when I bring someone into the stronghold?"

Looking at Viper Snake's appearance, Viper gradually returned to calm: "No need, but he has a tattoo of the Wind and Moon Tower on his body. You wouldn't tell me you didn't see it!"

The Wind and Moon Tower was a mysterious assassin organization; as long as you gave money, they would do things for you. What kind of assassin they sent depended on how much silver you gave, and regardless of whether the mission succeeded or failed, you had to pay the money.

Viper Snake suddenly breathed a sigh of relief as if relieved of a burden: "I accept the bet and admit defeat. I'm tired of being your steward all these years."

Viper looked at Viper Snake with complex emotions: "I never treated you as my steward, but it's useless to say more now. Let me send you on your way myself!"

Hearing this, terror appeared on Viper Snake's face. He originally thought he would only receive some punishment; after all, Viper was fine, and the worst would be driving him off the mountain. But the killing intent in Viper's eyes at this moment could not be faked, so he hurriedly knelt on his knees and begged.

"Big Brother, for the sake of me following you for so many years, even if there's no credit, there's hard work. Can you spare me?"

Viper looked at Viper Snake's appearance with disappointment: "You are indecisive in your actions, your ability doesn't match your ambition, and most importantly, you have no guts!"

After saying this, Viper didn't hesitate to let the knife in his hand fall, and Viper Snake's begging words were stuck in his throat and could never come out again.

Viper really treated Viper Snake as a brother; he spent his days having fun and left all affairs to Viper Snake to handle, just to let Viper Snake build prestige in front of his subordinates.

If he did everything himself, Viper Snake, the Second Boss, would be a mere figurehead.

Viper didn't tell him these truths because it was unnecessary!

Without waiting for Viper to mourn the former brotherhood, Black Centipede on the other side couldn't hold on anymore and shouted: "Slippery Snake, how long are you going to watch?"

At this moment, the battlefield was basically a foregone conclusion; only about one-third of the Centipede Stronghold's people were still standing, while the Spider Stronghold had more.

Only the Viper Stronghold had lost only a dozen people so far, making them the side with the most people on the scene.

Originally, Viper wanted to wait, waiting for the two strongholds to lose more people, but looking at Black Centipede's struggling appearance, it was inappropriate for him to continue watching the show.

After all, if Black Centipede, this madman, was provoked, the possibility of him suddenly turning around to attack him wasn't non-existent.

Viper cleared his throat, preparing to speak to lead his subordinates to end this farce, but a shout snatched the lead from him.

"Big Boss of the Spider Stronghold, Big Boss of the Centipede Stronghold, stop fighting! You've both been deceived!"

Hearing this, the crowd fighting fiercely turned to look, only to see five people supporting each other appearing at the gate of the Spider Stronghold. Poison Spider recognized at a glance that these were the Wang brothers who had been in his stronghold before.

Black Centipede had looked at the portraits so many times, so he naturally recognized them. It could be said that they were the beginning of this matter, and also the culprits who had kept Black Centipede from sleeping well for the past few days.

Viper thought to himself, it's bad. Didn't he leave more than twenty people to guard these people? How did they get out?

If it weren't for Viper Snake saying that if an accident happened, they could hand over these people to appease the anger of the Centipede Stronghold and the Tang family, he would have already chopped these people into mince.

Without waiting for Viper to take action, Wang Xixi complained to Poison Spider with a face full of grievance.

"Big Boss, after we went down the mountain that day, we were kidnapped by the people of the Viper Stronghold. It was he who forced us to rob the Tang family!"

Poison Spider was covered in blood like a war god possessed; hearing this, his anger surged, and he hurriedly greeted his subordinates: "Stop fighting, this is all a trick by the Viper Stronghold!"

Once these words were spoken, the troops on both sides separated, but they still held their knives in alert, ready to continue at any time.

Black Centipede still didn't quite believe what Wang Xixi and the others said; after all, the battle was about to be decided, and for them to suddenly pop out and say this, who knew if it was a scheme of the Spider Stronghold!

Seeing that Black Centipede didn't move, Wang Xixi continued to say with emotion: "Big Boss of the Centipede Stronghold, if you don't trust what I say, you can verify it yourself. We have been imprisoned in the Viper Stronghold during this time."

"It wasn't until today when the Viper Stronghold had fewer people that we had the chance to break out and report the news!"

Black Centipede shouted into the crowd: "Little Black, is what they said true?"

A person suddenly walked out of the Viper Stronghold's camp and ran toward Black Centipede, saying while running: "It's true, but I didn't know the people you were looking for were them!"

Only then did Black Centipede remember that he was influenced by the Viper Stronghold at the time, and since the Spider Stronghold also admitted that these people were indeed their people, he didn't take the portrait to find the mole he had planted in the Viper Stronghold to confirm.

Looking at the corpses of his own brothers all over the ground, Poison Spider gritted his teeth and said: "Viper, today I will kill you!"
