"What's his strength?" Wei Zhao was slightly startled. He had never expected the Red Conch's Third Boss to be a ** as well—he truly had not known that before.
"Peak of the late Earth rank!" Big Feng said. "If you're thinking of causing him trouble, I advise you to forget it. You're stronger than me, true, but you're probably only at the early or mid Earth rank—not much higher. You're no match for the Third Boss."
"The Third Boss is actually an expert at the peak of the late Earth rank?" Wei Zhao frowned. He had never imagined the Third Boss's strength would be so high! It seemed the Red Conch had been hiding all along, never revealing its true power!
Then again, the Red Conch and the Fire Wolf Gang were of the same lineage—it stood to reason that an expert at the peak of the late Earth rank would be holding down the fort.
"What about the others?" Wei Zhao asked.
"There are two more experts at the peak of the late Xuan rank like me, one at the early Earth rank, and the Third Boss's ** is a Heaven-rank expert—though he's not here." Since Big Feng had chosen to speak, he naturally held nothing back, saying it all in one breath.
"Very good. Take me to the Red Conch headquarters and say I'm a merchant here to do business. But don't entertain any thoughts of playing tricks—otherwise I'll make sure you get another dose of what you just enjoyed!" Wei Zhao said.
"No—just kill me instead. If I go and somehow don't die, it'll be trouble..." Big Feng shook his head, rejecting Wei Zhao's proposal. "You promised me that if I told you all this, you'd give me a clean death!"
Wei Zhao frowned. "If you come with me, you may not die. Do you really have that much faith in the Third Boss—that you're certain I'm no match for him?"
"He's an expert at the peak of the late Earth rank. Unless you're a Heaven-rank expert, you can't possibly be his match!" Big Feng shook his head, looking utterly resolute.
"Isn't that even better? Kill me, and say you were coerced—you can tell it however you like." Wei Zhao looked at Big Feng with some puzzlement. "The worst that happens is death. Can it be more painful than what you just went through?"
"More painful... whether it's more painful I don't know, but those who betray the Red Conch all come to wretched ends—they're dragged off to refine drugs together with the captives..." Big Feng shook his head. "I've seen those traitors and captives. Their days are worse than death!"
"Captives? What did you say? The Red Conch has captives refining drugs?" Wei Zhao's heart lurched violently, as though a drowning man had clutched at a straw. He fixed his eyes on Big Feng. "Is that true or a lie?"
