With that, he exchanged a few words with the Red Bee King on his shoulder, and the Extraordinary Hummingbird took flight.
Tang Wen didn't wait for the intelligence to return. He laid his cards on the table. "Yesterday, upon returning from my Cultivation outside the city, I sensed that some friends of mine might have met with disaster. So, I deployed the Mutated Hummingbirds."
"So it really was you!"
SLAM! A teacup crashed onto the table, its lid clattering and rolling away.
Tang Wen chuckled. "I had no choice. Those friends are also members of the Bai Family. I couldn't find them without mobilizing the Hummingbirds. I can't very well use a White Tiger to search the entire city, can I?"
Shi Lei took a few deep breaths to calm himself. He picked the cup back up, drained it in one go, and chewed forcefully on the tea leaves within. "How can you control the Hummingbirds?"
"Don't be so grim, Uncle Lei. You're making it sound like we're mortal enemies."
