Chapter 5: Chapter 5: Collaborating with him means crossing me, Jun Moyan
Indeed, Jun Moyan's expression precisely confirmed the man in white's guess.
"Apart from him constantly plotting my death, who else could it be?" Jun Moyan's eyes were chillingly cold, like countless knife points converging, carrying a destructive aura of murderous intent and towering rage.
Just one look seemed capable of seizing human life.
"I truly underestimated his capabilities, to think he could team up with Ais to deal with me," Jun Moyan scoffed coldly.
"It seems Ais has received quite a few benefits from the young master of the Jun Family," the man in white said.
This trip, they were escorting a shipment.
Because the cargo sold this time was the latest and most sophisticated new type of weapons.
And the buyer just happened to be their old business partner and friend, Ais, so Jun Moyan personally escorted the shipment.
From meeting with Ais to the completion of the goods exchange, everything was so ordinary, smooth, but then they were attacked on their way back.
Originally, they had brought quite a few people to escort the shipment.
Just that Ais insisted on keeping Jun Moyan back for a drink, and seeing that the goods had been safely delivered, Jun Moyan allowed most of his men to return to the Capital City first.
He stayed behind with a few of his brothers.
He took the opportunity to explain those weapons to Ais.
Their movements this time, apart from their brothers who escorted together, only Ais knew.
So they concluded that the assassins sent were Ais's men.
Otherwise, it couldn't be such a coincidence that those people arrived right after they had just left.
The opponents came fiercely, outnumbering them by half, and each was extraordinarily skillful.
If Jun Moyan hadn't been familiar with the local terrain, luring those men into the woods, it would have been really hard to escape.
Ais and Jun Moyan had been partners for many years; there was absolutely no motive for Ais to kill Jun Moyan.
Moreover, what status did Jun Moyan hold? Ais couldn't possibly be unaware of the huge risk involved in killing him.
The most important point was that killing Jun Moyan brought no benefits to Ais at all but would provoke the Jun Family.
So it was quite clear,
Ais was acting under the orders of Jun Moyan's older brother—Jun Wuyang.
The brother who had always been scheming to put Jun Moyan, his younger brother, to death.
It was just that this time Jun Moyan had been careless,
If not for a cat that suddenly appeared, coincidentally blocking that shot for him, he might have really fallen into the hands of Ais and Jun Wuyang.
"Spread the word, from today onwards, anyone in the underworld who dares to continue cooperating with Ais is going against me, Jun Moyan," Jun Moyan declared coldly, his voice filled with destructive fury.
"Third Master, is this really appropriate? Ais is a big player in Holy City and behind him stands an unknown yet powerful force. We shouldn't act rashly and carelessly. Moreover, he has now reached an under-the-table agreement with the young master of the Jun Family. Direct confrontation might lead to losses. Why not move discreetly?"
The man in white knew that Jun Moyan was furious, having simultaneously been targeted by both his friend and his older brother, and no one could remain calm in his place.
But directly breaking with Ais like this, how would the people in the underworld view this matter?
Those unaware of the truth would inevitably gossip, and it might damage Jun Moyan's reputation.
Of course, in their line of work, sometimes reputation really isn't that important.
But the Jun Family cared about it, and the Old Lady of the Jun Family cared even more.
Also, Ais was not so easy to deal with; his backing was too mysterious. Without knowing the details of the other party, they couldn't afford to confront him directly.
Now there was also Jun Wuyang to consider!
"If he dares to act, he must be prepared to bear my wrath. It's just right to force out the force behind him, so I can meet them personally,"
