Chapter 777 — We've Got Backup Too

Moreover, in Yu Xiaoke's eyes, Wei Zhao's so-called iron armor protective art was complete nonsense. It was just that Black Bird Bro had fallen into the misconception Wei Zhao had set up for him from the start, assuming Wei Zhao really had used some kind of bodily rebound to injure those four big men's hands. In truth, Yu Xiaoke felt the real story was not like that at all!
She didn't know how Wei Zhao had done it, but Yu Xiaoke was certain he had pulled some subtle trick.
"Ah, I'm so scared..." Wei Zhao put on a terrified expression. "But I really don't have any money. What am I to do?"
As he spoke, Wei Zhao turned his head to look at Yu Xiaoke: "Wife, how much money is left in our family vault?"
"What money? It's all spent!" Yu Xiaoke hadn't expected Wei Zhao to say that suddenly, but after a brief daze she played along smoothly. She wanted to see just what game Wei Zhao was playing! Clearly, though, this Black Bird Bro was about to have some bad luck!
From what Yu Xiaoke knew of Wei Zhao, he was not a man who took losses lying down. Last time she'd stolen his wallet, and he'd taken hers in return — principal and interest both! And this Black Bird Bro had provoked Wei Zhao so brazenly. How could Wei Zhao possibly let him off easily?
"See? Even my wife says there's no money!" Wei Zhao looked at Black Bird Bro with a hint of helplessness.
"Damn it! You two lovebirds in distress won't shed tears till you see the coffin!" Black Bird Bro naturally didn't believe a word of Yu Xiaoke's. Over the years, just from swindling fellow thieves, she'd raked in more than a hundred thousand, and counting what she'd stolen herself, the total was probably over a million by now!
Now that Black Bird Bro had caught these two, how could he let them off easily? Yu Xiaoke's lightness skill was formidable — if he released her this time, who knew when he'd ever catch her again? And this Wei Zhao was a strange one too, having trained some iron armor protective art. Let him go now, and he'd be hard to catch again next time!
"No, no, Black Bird Bro, look, we really don't have any money!" Wei Zhao spread his hands. "If we had money, we wouldn't be out stealing for it, right, wife?"
"That's right, that's right! We only steal because we're short on cash! Who'd be a thief if they had money? Such a wicked profession — who'd want to do it?" Yu Xiaoke nodded in agreement.
"What the hell! So you're saying I'm rotten, is that it?" Black Bird Bro flew into a rage. "Fine, you've got nerve! If you've got nerve, then don't you run — stand right here and wait for me, why don't you? I'll kill you if it's the last thing I do!"
With that, Black Bird Bro pulled out his phone, dialed a number, and said, "Brother Giant Deer, it's me, Black Bird, your number two. I've run into Yu Xiaoke of the Flying Swallow Sect and her man over in Old Tao Alley. The man's a bit of a handful — I'm requesting support. Send ten men with machetes over to chop them up!"
After the call, Black Bird Bro glared viciously at Wei Zhao. "Scared now, aren't you? I'm not joking around here! And don't even think about running — Songshan City is Brother Sparkler's turf. You can't run even if you try. If you don't give me a proper account of yourselves today, you'd better forget about making a living anywhere in Songshan City ever again!"
"Oh, so you're calling for backup? Excellent — the Flying Swallow Sect has people too!" Far from showing any sign of backing down, Wei Zhao watched Black Bird Bro finish his call and said, "The grudge between the Flying Swallow Sect and you lot is nothing new. Today's as good a day as any to settle it once and for all! Let's see who can call in more people!"
