Fade took Susie and Garvet away, comforting them along the way.

At the same time, the news had quickly spread to Capital City's top management and the martial arts world.

Lundie Chen, the fugitive wanted by the two headmasters, had returned and publicly killed Angus, a member of Thunder Hall.

In an instant, the entire martial arts world in Capital City fell into an uproar, and everyone began discussing the incident.

Meanwhile, in the president's office on the top floor of Fei Enterprises Holdings Inc.

Zania entered the office in a hurry. He looked at Abraham, who was leaning on his office chair, and asked, "Do you know what happened?"

"What?" Abraham asked absent-mindedly and continued playing with his mobile phone, not bothering to look up.

"Angus is dead. He was killed by a wanted criminal of this country." Zania seemed agitated. He leaned over and put his hands on the table, staring at Abraham. Finally, Abraham put down his phone and looked up.

"Oh, you mean this. I already know about it."

His face looked calm, betraying no hint of excitement or anger that Zania had expected from him.

"You already know? How..."

Zania stared at the indifferent Abraham, at a loss for words. Then, he finally spoke.

"Then what should we do now? How should we take revenge?"

Shaking his head, Abraham asked rhetorically as he looked at Zania, "What are you doing? Who says that we're going to do something about it?"

"Er, I... You..." Zania paused for a second, and then his face turned dark with anger.

He raised his tone and stared at Abraham. "Abraham, I know that you don't like Angus very much and have always looked down on him. However, he's a member of Thunder Hall, after all. He's our companion and teammate."

"Now, he has been killed by a fugitive. Don't you feel sad or angry at all? If so, I was wrong about you."

Zania spoke in a serious tone. No one had dared to talk to Abraham in this way because of his high status.

However, Abraham was still smiling, and he did not seem angry at all. Instead, he asked Zania, "Then what do you think we should do?"

Zania gritted his teeth and hissed emotionally, "Angus was killed, so the murderer must die."

"Either we catch the murderer ourselves, or we immediately issue a statement and request the government here to arrest the murderer and bring us justice. At the same time, we must inform Thunder Hall in North Micovia and ask them to put pressure on the authorities here. We must give them enough pressure."

After hearing what Zania had suggested, Abraham nodded and said, "Your plan sounds alright. In fact, things are usually done this way, under normal circumstances."

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's get started right now!" Zania said.

Shaking his head, Abraham said, "But now is not a normal situation. This plan isn't the best way to deal with it."

"Then what's your plan?" Zania asked, somewhat unconvinced.

Abraham smiled and replied, "My plan is simple, and it consists of only one word. Wait!"

"Wait?" Zania frowned. "Do you mean that we'll sit here without doing anything after our teammate was killed?"

Abraham shook his head and said, "Although I'm telling you to wait, I mean something completely different."

"What's the difference?" Zania asked, his eyes wide open. "If Abraham's explanation failed to convince me, I'll go against his wishes and report this matter to Thunder Hall's headquarters," he thought. Noticing the serious expression on Zania's face, Abraham knew what he was thinking. He sighed softly as he sat up straight and looked at him. Then, he began to explain.

"Usually, under normal circumstances, it'll not be an issue to handle this matter according to the method you just mentioned. However, that's not the best way."

"That's because you've forgotten about the current situation we're in."

"Er..." Zania frowned and began to think.

Abraham continued, "Recently, we've taken over Fei Enterprises Holdings Inc and we've lived comfortably within the upper-class in Capital City. Everything seems to be going well."

"However, don't forget that most of the nation's citizens are in the lower- middle class. You may search the news about us on the Internet now. Most of them are scolding and criticizing us."

"When we defeated Satria and won the championship, we had already caused a lot of dissatisfaction among the people. In addition, that idiot, Angus, had messed around with women and had caused us numerous troubles, making the common citizens hate us more."

"Now that Angus has been murdered, many of them will probably celebrate his death on the Internet. In this case, if we continue to suppress them, we'll be seen as aggressive, and the people will have a bad impression of us."

Hearing this, Zania could not help but nod in agreement. However, he was still confused. "What you said makes sense, but the dissatisfaction of the common citizens has little impact on us. We're basically dealing with the top officials in Capital City. Those common people have nothing to do with us."

"Besides, Angus is our companion and teammate, after all. How could we ignore the death of our teammate just to satisfy the common people? This is unacceptable to me."

Abraham tapped his fingers on the

table a few times and said, "Zania, you're wrong about one thing. The common people may seem weak and they might not have much

of an impacton us now. However, you have to understand that most of the

people in the nation are common

people. The strength of common

people is greater than you think."

"If we want to have a firm foothold in this country to carry out our plan, we must make use of the common people. Otherwise, why would I waste my time to attract and reply to those stupid fans? Do you really think I have so much free time?" "Er..." For a moment, Zania was speechless.

"And speaking of Angus's death, I won't say anything on the Internet now. I'll take a step back and wait for my chance to advance instead," Abraham continued.

"Besides, you just said that we're on

good terms with the higher-ups of Capital City. One of our men died in Capital City, so they'll definitely investigate it. Moreover, many of the Martial Arts Alliance's high-ranking officials' children were present at the scene. Among them were the director of the Public Security Committee, Devante, and his daughter, Avy. These people are our witnesses, and they're also our

bargaining chips."

"You should already realize that the murderer is a wanted criminal. Therefore, the officials will definitely deal with him when he shows up."

"In addition, I believe that the Martial

Arts Alliance is already in a terrible state of panic at this moment. Us continuing to pressure them won't have much of an effect. On the contrary, if we appear to be kind and understanding, they'll think that we're being generous to them, so they'll have a better impression of us. Thus, they'll deal with this matter with greater effort."

"In conclusion, the result was already destined the moment the murder happened. As such, there will be no big changes."

After hearing this, Zania was stunned for a while. Then, he said slowly, This... This is only your personal guess. If they try to cover up for each other, what should we do?"
