Chapter 243 - 232: What’s the Point of Martial Virtue for a Group of Fighters? Everyone, Attack

Chapter 243: Chapter 232: What’s the Point of Martial Virtue for a Group of Fighters? Everyone, Attack

There were some feelings between the two of them.

But their relationship was mostly based on mutual benefit.

After all, they were both men, both with the same... equipment. How could any real affection possibly bloom from that?!

But Chengcheng was different.

Not only had he adopted Chengcheng when she was a child, but he had raised her himself.

She had even served jail time for him!

In truth, the two of them also shared a certain unspoken relationship of "mutual comfort."

It was the old ’goddaughter’ trope...

Where the ’goddaughter’ is someone you ’do’.

Besides, Chengcheng was his secretary!

How many bosses could resist the temptation of their own secretary in black stockings?

Even an upright gentleman like Mengde couldn’t resist that top-tier secretary of his, Fei’er!

Let alone an old lecher like Chen Tai.

What was that old saying? "A secretary’s there to take care of business, and when there’s no business..."

So at this moment, Chen Tai’s eyes were already growing moist.

’Sigh... from now on, I won’t have my daughter... to take care of me anymore...’

’To give me... physical comfort...’

The old codger might have looked sad, but that sadness lasted all of three seconds...

The moment he opened his mouth, he revealed his true nature!

"Gao Qiang, you mustn’t believe a word Chengcheng said!"

"Working with Dayong Base to harm you—that was all Chengcheng’s idea! It has nothing to do with me!"

"You have to trust your godfather! How could your godfather ever do something to harm you?"

Chen Tai spoke with such earnest conviction.

He didn’t forget to add a few sentimental lines.

"I dote on Xiaolan the most! You know that better than anyone!"

"I even bought Xiaolan a birthday present before, have you forgotten that?"

If Gao Qiang hadn’t learned the truth from Li Yong and Chengcheng, he might have actually believed him.

Of course, that was just a "might"...

As a big shot who had navigated the business world for years, Gao Qiang had some judgment of his own.

Besides, Chen Tai had exposed himself the moment he spoke.

Gao Qiang let out a cold laugh.

"Godfather, when did we say that Chengcheng worked with Dayong Base to ambush us?"

"And when did I ever say that you were the one who harmed Xiaolan?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Chen Tai instantly realized the slip-up in his own speech.

But it was already too late.

Because if Gao Qiang had been holding onto a sliver of hope before, wondering if Chengcheng and the others might have just been spouting nonsense...

...now, his so-called godfather had revealed his own true colors.

Especially seeing his godfather’s nervous and fearful expression.

What more needed to be said?

"Godfather, you’ve exposed yourself!!!"

Gao Qiang’s words struck Chen Tai’s heart like a bolt of lightning.

It made him stumble back a few steps in fright.

Sweat streamed down his face.

"What are you talking about? I don’t understand!"

Even though he had been exposed, Chen Tai was stubborn to the last.

But his eyes were constantly darting around, glancing furtively at his surroundings.

’Dammit! Why haven’t Vice President Fang’s reinforcements arrived yet?!’

’I can’t hold on much longer!’

That’s right!

Chen Tai had placed all his hopes on Hengsheng Base.

He had no idea that he was just a pawn that had long since been abandoned!

Hearing this, Gao Qiang, who had maintained a cold expression until now, finally let a look of disappointment show on his face.

He hadn’t expected his godfather to still refuse to admit it, even now.

This completely extinguished the last shred of affection he had for Chen Tai!

"Godfather, thank you for helping my siblings and me in the past!"

"And thank you for your support of our Gao Group!"

"Allowing my siblings and me to survive..."

When Gao Qiang said this, Chen Tai thought his godson still had some lingering affection for him.

But he never imagined that Gao Qiang’s next sentence would be his death sentence!

"This is the last time I will ever call you ’Godfather’!"

"From now on, there is nothing between us!!!"

Gao Qiang’s heartless words echoed through the area!

They also rang in the final countdown on Chen Tai’s life!

Chen Tai had a bad feeling and wanted to explain himself.

"Gao Qiang, listen to me..."

But Gao Qiang no longer gave him the chance.

"Get them!!!"

"Today, no one from the Taihe Group leaves here alive!!!"

As Gao Qiang’s icy voice rang out, he completely revealed the side of him that once ran in the criminal underworld.

Beside him, his younger brother Xiaosheng was the first to charge out.

His target was Chen Tai!!!

"Chen Tai, you old bastard!"

"How dare you scheme against my sister! Pay with your life!!!"

Gao Sheng was a Tier Seven Superpower User; ordinary Superpower Users were no match for him at all.

He quickly cut down several Low-level Superpower Users who got in his way!

When Chen Tai had come out of the room, he was already prepared to drop all pretenses.

So, when Gao Sheng led the Superpower Users from Gao’s Base in a charge toward him...

...Chen Tai decided to drop the act completely.

"So, it’s come to this, Gao Qiang!!"

"You pair of ungrateful brothers!!!"

"Since you won’t let me go, then you can all just die!!!"

Chen Tai’s face was a mask of pure savagery.

As his voice fell, underlings hidden in the surrounding rooms rushed out.

Among them, the sole surviving Tier Seven Superpower User of his four great masters also charged out.

And he immediately went up against Gao Sheng!

Both were Tier Seven Early Stage Superpower Users. Even with Gao Sheng’s rage-fueled power boost...

...he couldn’t break through for the time being to get to Chen Tai.

Furthermore, Chen Tai himself was still surrounded by a cluster of his own Superpower Users.

This made his confidence soar!

’On Gao Qiang’s side, there are only about thirty-some Superpower Users left alive.’

’Even if it comes to an all-out fight, my side isn’t the least bit weaker!’

’Plus, we have the advantage of handguns!’

’No matter how you look at it, I can still put up a fight!’

’At the very least, I can force a draw!’

So, as Chen Tai’s eyes furtively scanned his surroundings, he said aloud:

"Gao Qiang, if we fight it out, both our sides will suffer heavy losses!"

"If you retreat now, I can pretend none of this ever happened."

"And I’ll even compensate you. How about it?"

That’s what Chen Tai said, but his thoughts were completely different.

’Hmph!’

’I’ll just stall Gao Qiang and his men for now.’

’Once Vice President Fang and his reinforcements arrive, it’ll be my turn to counterattack.’

Chen Tai’s mental abacus was clacking away.

However, he hadn’t expected that Gao Qiang had brought someone else with him this time.

"Brother Mengde, I’m going to have to ask you to step in!"

"Please!!!"

Gao Qiang looked at Brother Mengde beside him.

He had naturally thought of everything Chen Tai had.

With his current strength, having lost more than half of his brothers, trying to break through the Taihe Group...

...would still be difficult.

But thankfully, with Brother Mengde here, none of that would be a problem!!!

Faced with his future brother-in-law’s request, Mengde nodded.

However, he didn’t act directly.

He just waved his hand, and soon his younger brother-in-law, Zhao Yu, who had been guarding the RV, came over with his men.

Among them was Brother Jingfu, who had already destroyed Celestial Wolf Base and rushed over!!!

"Brother-in-law, what did you call us over for?"

Zhao Yu was rubbing his fists together, as was Brother Jingfu.

Mengde smiled and pointed toward the battling Gao Sheng.

"Go help him out!"

"And while you’re at it, wipe this place out!"

Receiving Mengde’s command, Zhao Yu and Brother Jingfu immediately charged forward, unable to wait.

’These are all free Superpower Crystal Cores for the taking!!!’

Seeing this, Gao Qiang initially wanted to say, ’That’s a battle between Tier Seven Superpower Users.’

But when he saw Brother Mengde’s calm and composed expression, he held his tongue.

After all, he had seen Brother Mengde’s power firsthand.

’So the men he brought with him can’t be weak either!’

And the subsequent performance of Zhao Yu and Brother Jingfu directly confirmed his suspicions.

Zhao Yu and Brother Jingfu cut a straight path through the crowd.

No one was able to stop them!

They killed wherever they went!

Chen Tai, who had just regained some of his confidence, was now in a complete panic!

’Whose subordinates are these?’

’How can they be so fierce!!!’

’They’re definitely not Gao Qiang’s men, so they must belong to that unfamiliar young man next to him.’

Especially when he saw that Zhao Yu and Brother Jingfu were about to reach Gao Sheng’s side.

’If those two join the fight, my Tier Seven subordinate is sure to be defeated!’

At this thought, he became flustered and enraged.

"Dammit!"

"This is between me and Gao Qiang! What are you meddling for?"

"Are you looking to die?!"

If only he had kept his mouth shut.

The moment he spoke, he drew a scornful laugh from Mengde.

He didn’t respond to Chen Tai directly, but turned his head and said:

"What are you all standing around for?"

"You’re all fighters! Why are you worrying about fighting honorably?!"

"All of you, get in there!"

Hearing Mengde’s words, his remaining men behind him let out a roar and charged forward.

Across from them, Chen Tai was completely dumbfounded...

Gao Qiang, standing to the side, gave him a thumbs-up and exclaimed internally:

’Brother-in-law, you’re a fucking badass! What you said makes so much damn sense!’

’Yeah!’

’Why should a bunch of fighters care about a code of honor?!’

"Brothers, kill!!!"

With a furious roar, Gao Qiang also charged forward...
