Urban Super Soldier King-Chapter 698: Mu Bai’s Request for Help is Rejected

Having chosen to follow Xiang Yu, Zhang Dongxu would go all out to assist him. Hearing that they were discussing matters regarding Evil God, he also said, "I’m willing to be the spearhead in the fight against Evil God."

Upon hearing this, Xiang Yu smiled and said, "You should focus on healing your wounds before anything else."

The moment Zhang Dongxu heard that, he visibly deflated. He was severely injured; not only was he unable to be the spearhead, but he couldn’t even walk on the ground.

Wu Jing then consoled him, "Don’t be anxious. Once you’ve recovered from your injuries, there will definitely be a place for you to exert your skills."

As a few people were discussing matters, Xiang Yu’s phone suddenly rang with an unfamiliar number.

"What is it?" Xiang Yu asked directly.

The other side paused for quite a while before saying, "This is Mu Bai. I’m downstairs at your building right now."

"What is it?" Xiang Yu continued to press.

When departing earlier, Xiang Yu had already anticipated that he would definitely come looking for him; he just hadn’t expected the arrival to be so soon.

"I, I’m requesting your help," said Mu Bai hesitantly.

"Come to the rooftop," Xiang Yu said before hanging up the phone directly.

Tie Zhuzi chuckled and said, "Bro Yu, you really guessed it, he actually came to find us."

A few minutes later, there was a knock on the door of Xiang Yu’s office, and Mu Bai walked in with a nervous expression. Seeing so many people in the room, he was somewhat embarrassed.

"Can you help me?" Mu Bai asked Xiang Yu with a hint of expectation.

"Tell me what it is first. If it’s something illegal, I can’t help you," Xiang Yu said directly.

Disappointment flickered in Mu Bai’s eyes. How many of their underworld dealings weren’t illegal? Moreover, he knew that Xiang Yu, being able to sit in his current position, must have done his fair share of illegal things.

Still, he decided to speak up. He glanced at Xiang Yu and then at the others sitting there, including Zhang Dongxu, who was lying down.

"You can speak frankly; they’re all my good brothers," Xiang Yu cut in.

Only then did Mu Bai nod and say, "You know Han Dong and Wang Huisheng. After I let them go, Han Dong killed Wang Huisheng."

This wasn’t surprising to Xiang Yu because Wang Huisheng had betrayed Han Dong. Wang Huisheng thought that Han Dong would surely be beaten to death, but Mu Bai had let him go, which led to Wang Huisheng’s murder by Han Dong.

"After getting out, Han Dong didn’t repent. He gathered a lot of brothers and captured people under my command. Luckily, I managed to escape quickly and wasn’t caught," Mu Bai said with an expression filled with anger, regretting why he didn’t kill Han Dong directly back then.

Hearing this, Xiang Yu was not surprised. He had anticipated that such a thing would happen. He then looked at Mu Bai and asked, "How do you want me to help you?"

"Help me capture Han Dong. Any conditions you have are fine," Mu Bai said.

"You need to take care of your own problems. You should go back," Xiang Yu said directly.

Hearing this, the look of disappointment on Mu Bai’s face grew even heavier. Perhaps he had already sensed this outcome.

"After all, our boss has given you the group company and also hoped that you would take charge of these brothers. Is this how you treat us?" Mu Bai said, deeply disappointed.

This was Mu Bai’s attempt to provoke, still holding onto a sliver of hope for Xiang Yu. For Xiang Yu, this matter was trivial, but for him, it was of utmost importance.

Now, among his brothers, he didn’t know whom to trust, as many had betrayed him.

"How I treat you is my own business; you don’t need to worry about it. You can go back," Xiang Yu said with an indifferent smile.

Mu Bai was furious. He really wanted to point at Xiang Yu’s nose and curse him out. But then he thought, it seemed that Xiang Yu had no obligation to help him. Furthermore, Xiang Yu didn’t owe him anything, and in fact, he owed Xiang Yu his life.

With these thoughts, Mu Bai stopped speaking and turned to leave.

Tie Zhuzi watched with curiosity and said to Xiang Yu, "Bro Yu, I think this kid is quite loyal and righteous. Why don’t we take him in?"

"Take him in? Who said we wouldn’t?" Xiang Yu said with a secretive smile.

After Mu Bai left Xiang Yu’s office, he felt extremely dejected. In this city, only Xiang Yu had the capability to assist him, but Xiang Yu wasn’t willing to help.

Originally, when Dong Ze gave up his position to Xiang Yu, Mu Bai was quite resistant. Now, realizing his own shortcomings, it was too late.

Sitting in the car, Mu Bai didn’t know where to go. His brothers were still under Han Dong’s control; if he didn’t go back, they would surely die. But if he returned and got caught by Han Dong, not only would they die, but he would also be killed.

Mu Bai thought through many things in the car and ultimately decided to rescue his brothers; they would either all die together or go down fighting.

He knew the layout of the place like the back of his hand, could even navigate it with his eyes closed. There wasn’t much need to think about a specific rescue plan, as he was going in alone.

He carried two guns loaded with bullets and a dagger. He didn’t want to kill unless absolutely necessary—after all, they used to be brothers, and now they were merely misled by Han Dong.

At one in the morning, the sky was moonless and windless, and everything around was eerily silent. Mu Bai infiltrated the area alone, his breathing somewhat labored.

After all, this moment was about life and death. If he could successfully rescue his brothers, all was well. If not, his demise seemed a senseless waste.

Hiding in the shadows, he adjusted his breathing and then slowly approached the target house, gripping the dagger in his hand.

He knew Han Dong hadn’t killed those brothers yet because he was waiting for him—traps seemed to have been set up everywhere, waiting for Mu Bai’s approach.

But Mu Bai had to come, filled with a tragic determination as if he knew there was a tiger on the mountain yet still headed towards it. The closer he got, the more at peace he felt. Only, he felt a little sorry for Dong Ze.

Dong Ze’s vengeance was unclaimed, he didn’t even know the identity of the killer. At this moment, he thought of Xiang Yu, who was like an enigma, seemingly all-knowing and omnipotent. He was certain that Xiang Yu knew who the murderer was, but had chosen not to reveal it.

At this critical moment, Mu Bai suddenly became certain of this fact. But even with this certainty, it was still unknown whether he would be able to leave this place alive.

"If I can make it out alive today, I must pay a proper visit to Xiang Yu," Mu Bai thought to himself, and by then he had already reached the house.

He listened carefully near the door and heard only a few deep snores coming from inside. It seemed there were several people, and they were sleeping soundly.

Mu Bai couldn’t help but feel curious. Could it be that his brothers were sleeping comfortably inside? Or were all those inside Han Dong’s men, waiting for his approach?

Mu Bai hid outside and listened for a while. After confirming that everyone was asleep, he quietly opened the door and went inside. Inside was still pitch dark, and he couldn’t see anything.

Mu Bai moved forward slowly, but suddenly he kicked something—a bottle it seemed—producing a crisp sound of glass hitting the ground...
