Delta: Who are you saying has suffered a loss of strength?

Since no one was causing trouble, Han Che and his group saw no need to linger at the Dragon Club.

After the group left the gate, they stood by the roadside for a while, and the night breeze dispersed some of the lingering burnt smell in their noses.

Qiu Ying and the mule said goodbye to each other, waving their hands and saying they were going back to sleep.

Han Che and Qi Yuzhe walked back along the street lit by streetlights, barely speaking, their footsteps barely audible on the empty sidewalk.

Upon arriving at Han Che's residence, Han Che still found it unbelievable. He then asked Qi Yuzhe, who had just walked in, "What's going on today? Not only is no one causing trouble, but the process is also so simple? We didn't even see a single player from another club?"

As he said this, he rubbed the side of his neck with his hand. There was no wound there now, but he always felt that the skin there was more sensitive than other places.

Qi Yuzhe walked to the sofa in the living room and threw himself onto it, slumping on it like a lump of flesh with its bones removed. He let out a long breath before speaking.

"I bet some incredibly powerful lady managed to call their top management."

After saying this, he turned his head to look at Han Che.

Han Che was taken aback. "A noblewoman? What do you mean?"

Qi Yuzhe slumped onto the sofa and let out a long sigh. "I bet some incredibly powerful lady managed to call their top management."

"A noblewoman? What does that mean?" Han Che was puzzled.

Qi Yuzhe struggled to lift his head from his slumped position and looked at him. "Guess why Xiaobai left first instead of coming with us?"

Han Che thought for a moment, "Didn't they say she went in a private car?" He paused, then suddenly realized something, "You mean, Xiao Bai went to complain about the Fengming Club?"

Qi Yuzhe buried his head back into the sofa. "I didn't say that."

……

Meanwhile, in the lounge of the Phoenix Cry Club, Captain Ma was getting impatient as he leaned back on the sofa.

His legs went numb from sitting on the sofa for too long, and he tried several different positions but still couldn't get comfortable.

Several team members sat to the side, absentmindedly scrolling through their phones.

The door to the lounge was pushed open from the outside, and Manager Wang appeared in the doorway.

"Manager Wang? How is it?"

He didn't come in; he just stood on the door frame, holding the doorknob and scanning the few people in the lounge.

His face was expressionless, revealing neither joy nor anger. "The Zero Dam mission is finished. We'll be going to a meeting on the second floor in a bit; the leaders will be there. Be there early so you won't be late."

After saying that, he closed the door, and the sound of his footsteps gradually faded away in the corridor.

Captain Ma paused for a moment, then instructed the rest of the team, "Did you hear that? They're out, and the leaders are coming too! Everyone, give Club 78 a good dressing down! They sabotaged our operation, killed our men, and completely disregarded us!"

The chubby teammate was the first to respond. He shoved his phone into his pocket and stood up, exclaiming, "Exactly! That's too arrogant!"

The other team members also stood up one after another and followed Captain Ma out of the lounge and headed towards the second floor.

Captain Fengming walked at the very back of the group, half a step behind the others, and his expression was not as excited as theirs.

He felt that there was something wrong with the expression on Manager Wang's face when he spoke, which made him uneasy.

Not long after, footsteps and voices came from the corridor, and the meeting room door was pushed open again.

The first to enter were a few people from the Longteng Club. Captain Ma recognized the person leading the team as the squad leader of the Longteng Club for this operation. After entering, the man did not look at Fengming's group, but instead stepped aside to make room for them at the door.

Then Xiaobai walked in. She was wearing a dark coat, and her silver hair stood out brightly under the conference room lights.

Two other people from the Dragon Club followed behind her. The three of them walked in together, looking more like they had come together than if it was a chance encounter.

Captain Ma's heart skipped a beat when he saw Xiao Bai and the people from the Longteng Club come in together.

He had originally planned to sound out the Dragon Club members before the meeting began, to see which side they were on regarding the operation.

As a result, Xiaobai and the people from Longteng appeared together, so he couldn't say those things in front of Xiaobai.

But then he thought again, even if he didn't say anything, he had the numbers and the power to not let an outsider like her be too arrogant on his club's turf.

Captain Ma leaned on the table and stood up, taking two steps towards Xiao Bai with a leisurely air. "Heh, isn't this the backstabber of the club, Boss Xiao Bai? How did you get involved with the Dragon Soaring Club? Where are your teammates? Why didn't they come with you? You wouldn't be trying to sever ties with the others and climb up to the Dragon Soaring Club, would you?"

As he spoke, he took another half step forward, his expression carrying a deliberately feigned contempt.

Xiao Bai stood there without moving, watching his performance with cold eyes.

That calmness ignited a nameless anger in Captain Ma's heart. He had thought that Xiaobai would at least panic a little, after all, she had killed people from the Fengming Club, and now that she was on the Fengming Club's territory, she could still be so calm.

Just as he was about to take another step forward and lower his posture even further, an arm suddenly reached out from the side and stopped him.

The team leader of the Dragon Club stepped forward, his shoulder positioned between Captain Ma and Xiao Bai. He turned to Captain Ma and said, "Captain Ma, please have some self-respect."

Captain Ma was taken aback. "Is your Dragon Club going to protect this guy who betrayed his teammate?"

The Dragon Soar squad leader didn't answer his question directly, but simply said in a flat tone, "It's none of your business how the Dragon Soar Club is run. Mind your own business."

After he finished speaking, he turned away and didn't give Captain Ma a chance to speak again.

Captain Ma was speechless. He opened his mouth to say something more when a deep, stern voice came from the conference room doorway, "Quiet! Go back now, are you trying to cause trouble?"

Supervisor Wang appeared at the doorway at some point, his expression even more serious than when he was at the break room door, his gaze fixed on Captain Ma.

Captain Ma snorted, swallowed the words that were about to come out, and went back to his seat.

He sat there, his chest still heaving. The frustration of being stopped by Longteng's people and then being yelled at by Manager Wang had made his face flush red.
