Chapter 1562 - 1561: Capture and Return for Trial
They quickly discovered Zhou Runfa in a mountain cave, surrounded by darkness and dampness, with only a faint glimmer of light in the direction Zhou Runfa was facing."Who would've thought that Zhou Runfa, such a proud person, would lower himself to hide in a mountain cave."
Not only Tang Rao had not expected this, but didn't others familiar with Zhou Runfa think the same?
"Do you want him dead or alive?"
Was Yan Wei asking Tang Rao's opinion?
Yet Tang Rao hadn't even seen Zhou Runfa, talking about dead or alive, wasn't it a bit too early to boast?
"Let's find him first; if there's a choice, I want him alive."
He had promised his brothers in prison that he would personally bring Zhou Runfa and his men to them so they could take their lives themselves.
"Since we've found the location, if we go now, we should be able to find them, right?"
Was Tang Rao saying he wanted to find Zhou Runfa alone?
How could that work!
Without even thinking, Yan Wei immediately dismissed Tang Rao's thought.
"No way, I told you, don't even think about going alone to find those eight people. With their strength, you're simply no match for them."
There weren't many people Yan Wei knew well and admired throughout his life. He had finally determined his dream, just wanting to follow Tang Rao, becoming his right-hand man. If anything were to happen to Tang Rao, how would Yan Wei spend the rest of his life?
"If I don't go to them, they're not stupid; they won't come out voluntarily. If we can't catch them, I can't answer to my brothers!"
When it came to catching people, Tang Rao's mind was not as sharp as Yan Wei's.
"I can cut off the signal of a few of them in Illusion City, completely severing their connection with the outside world. Then you can issue a bounty in Illusion City, letting those people find them for the reward!"
"There are many capable people looking for things from the Kao Shan Shop. They want those things; you have plenty. Yet for those people, you might risk your life. Calculate which price is more worthwhile?"
Indeed, last time there was an almighty figure who did a big favor for Tang Rao for a seventh-grade Elixir Pill. If luck was good again, and someone like that appeared, Tang Rao's safety could be guaranteed.
"Alright, it's good to have you around in critical moments."
Tang Rao immediately had Yan Wei cut off the signal in Illusion City then issued a recruitment order: whoever catches those people first will get what they want from Tang Rao.
Many participated earlier, and now again, Tang Rao even sent the map to the group. With precise positioning, without needing further words, the capable quickly used Tang Rao's coordinates to head towards where Zhou Runfa was hiding.
Rumble.
Rumble.
Hidden within a naturally formed cave in a cliff, Zhou Runfa and his men heard strange rumbling sounds. They initially thought it was thundering and raining outside, but after listening, felt the sound was odd. If it were raining, the thunder should be rhythmic, instead, it grew louder with each cycle that seemed to flatten the cave beneath the cliff.
"Master, the sound outside feels off. Could it be we've been discovered?"
Those Bald men usually feared nothing as the Zhou Family and Zhou Runfa shielded them. Now, fleeing from prison humbled them, realizing Zhou Family couldn't be relied upon any longer.
Outdoor sensations like wind whispering could threaten their lives, just like now.
How could they not be scared?
"Impossible, impossible to be discovered. This place is so hidden, plus I deliberately masked your scent. If Tang Rao's current strength, he wouldn't be able to find us."
They had hidden there for over a week without being found, indicating that even when there might have been traces, nobody from outside could locate them. With all traces wiped after a week, their whereabouts became a mystery.
This was his source of confidence.
Rumble!
Rumble!
Yet Zhou Runfa didn't remain arrogant for long. The outside sound shattered the dream he had maintained for days.
Because the light outside the cave brightened first then dimmed more than before. The dimming wasn't due to other reasons, just too many standing outside, blocking the light.
"These people truly are here, hahaha, don't compete with me for the credit."
The people outside eyed those inside with glowing green eyes, like hungry wolves. They rushed fiercely into the cave.
Their first reaction inside was.
Purple Crystal.
They were Purple Crystal.
Elixir Pills.
They were Elixir Pills.
Weapons.
They were Weapons.
Zhou Runfa and his people had seen the world, but not this kind.
They didn't even have a chance to resist before they were captured by the newcomers.
"You're not Tang Rao; who are you?"
Tang Rao knew about others looking for him, but seeing so many people meant a hefty price. Tang Rao was willing to spend anything to catch him.
"We're here for your life."
The intruders intended to kill Zhou Runfa, but then remembered Tang Rao's words about capturing him alive if possible, so they held back.
All eight of them were captured, not leaving a single one.
Those old hands probably knew each other and didn't quarrel over the credit, dividing each person to ensure the fastest ones wouldn't return empty-handed.
"Let's go claim our credit!"
The outsiders only lagged a step behind, watching their victory slip away. Many couldn't help but weep.
"If only I'd tried harder; now I would've caught the ghosts, yet for what I want, I have to buy it myself."
Eight captors stood neatly outside Kao Shan Shop's door. Tang Rao had been watching live updates in Illusion City, learning they caught the prey. Once they reached the journey back, he waited outside the shop door, warmly inviting them to the backyard upon seeing them.
Seeing Zhou Runfa, both Tang Rao and Zhou Runfa had identical expressions, their eyes revealing full of venom.
"Thank you, warriors, for capturing the culprits in such quick time."
Tang Rao cupped his hand in gratitude towards the group opposite.
