'What power is this, stepping in to help me? Could they be an enemy of the Prime Minister's Mansion?'
A jolt went through Xiao Teng. With outside help, his odds of winning this chaotic battle were much greater.
Inside the prisoner cart, Xie Jianjia saw this and felt a wave of relief.
The men from the Prime Minister's Mansion were aggressive, but Xiao Teng had come prepared with plenty of his own people. And that wasn't even counting the other forces helping from the shadows.
'The Prime Minister's Mansion has offended so many people; it's only natural that many would want to see them fall. Perhaps this is the Royal Family's doing, or some other faction... In any case, it seems I'm safe for the time being.'
'Based on the current situation, this seems much easier than I expected...'
'I don't need any extra help to abduct Xie Jianjia. I'm more than enough on my own.'
