Team Glory

"So what if you got the kills?"

"Nearly half our people died, and this is all you're giving us?"

Chen Ke looked furious. Of the more than forty people he had brought, half had died. The survivors were all relatively weak, unlike the twenty-odd people who had appeared earlier.

Anyone who had survived several rounds of survival selection had countless schemes up their sleeve.

Chen Ke silently calculated that it would take quite a bit of effort to secure his position within the group from here on out.

If he could not get some Treasure from Jiang Yang now, his authority would decline again.

But after Chen Ke finished speaking, he saw Jiang Yang looking at him with an amused smile.

"You still remember that half your people died?"

"Hand over your glove!"

"I don't want to kill anyone."

Jiang Yang spoke calmly, his gaze seemingly casually flicking toward Mo Li in the corner. A smile lingered on his lips. "If you're unwilling, Teacher Mo can do it instead."

The moment those words were spoken, Mo Li, who had been hiding in the corner, immediately tensed up. Unable to avoid Jiang Yang's gaze, she simply ran behind Chen Ke. "I want to stay here."

Mo Li taking the initiative to hide behind him instantly stirred an inexplicable protective urge in Chen Ke. He puffed out his chest a little more, only for it to meet Jiang Yang's blade tip the next moment.

"Why are you hiding, Teacher Mo? It's not like I'm going to eat you."

Jiang Yang's gaze darkened. After everything that had happened before, it was normal for Mo Li to dislike him. But he liked Mo Li. Seeing her hide behind someone else made him rather unhappy.

"Teacher Mo, the Police Station isn't somewhere you can stay for long. Why not come with me?"

Jiang Yang pondered inwardly. Mo Li was a troublesome person to deal with. It was all the original owner's fault for not handling things properly, otherwise she would not have resisted him so strongly.

"No!"

Chen Ke glared at Jiang Yang, but the latter pressed the blade tip against his face.

"What are you trying to do?"

Cold sweat broke out on Chen Ke's face, but how could he lose face in front of Mo Li?

With a wave of his hand, everyone in the Police Station raised their guns and aimed them at Jiang Yang's group.

For a moment, the tension was palpable.

This brat, did he not know that lust was a blade hanging over one's head? Wasn't she just a woman?

Jiang Yang could not help cursing inwardly at the situation before him, forcing himself to calm down.

He was different from Chen Ke. The latter merely lusted after Mo Li's body, while Jiang Yang valued Mo Li's abilities more.

Mo Li had a poor impression of him, so he should find an opportunity to make amends. If this continued, she would likely grow to hate him more and more.

Winning over a woman was easier than winning over a man, after all. He could use that whole approach of letting feelings develop over time.

But if he brought Mo Li back just like this, how was he supposed to explain it to Ye Qingwei and the others?

After carefully weighing it all, Jiang Yang sighed. "Teacher Mo, I truly mean you no harm."

"I apologize for the things I did back then... I was young and immature. I hope Teacher Mo won't hold it against me. There's no need to think of me as such a bad person. If you run into any trouble, come find me anytime."

Leaving those words behind, Jiang Yang departed with Li Shun, Wu Lei, and the others. Chen Ke wisely did not stop them.

No one mentioned the Treasure again. Jiang Yang would never give it to them, and Chen Ke did not dare ask for it either, because he had genuinely felt Jiang Yang's intent to strike just now.

At such close range, no one could draw faster than Jiang Yang.

Wu Lei and Li Shun instinctively walked behind Jiang Yang. The people in the Police Station had guns, and Jiang Yang noticed their movements.

His heart warmed slightly, and he continued walking toward the clothing store as if nothing had happened.

Before leaving the Police Station, however, Jiang Yang snapped his fingers.

Just as Chen Ke inside the Police Station was about to breathe a sigh of relief, he suddenly felt a tightness in his chest. Moments later, his face twisted as he dropped to his knees.

"What's happening?"

"It hurts... it hurts so much... ngh..."

The matter of seizing the Treasure came to an end, and Jiang Yang led everyone back to the upscale hotel.

After a full day of fighting, everyone was somewhat exhausted.

"Don't worry. I don't know what madness possessed Ye Fan, but once I get the chance, I'll definitely bring him back."

Jiang Yang gently held Ye Qingwei's hand and tenderly stroked her hair. She did not resist at all.

"Brother, I don't know what happened to Brother Ye Fan. Let's talk about it later. He didn't hurt you today, did he?"

Ye Qingwei leaned against Jiang Yang. A warm current flowed into his body, instantly washing away the fatigue from battle.

Feeling the warm current within him, Jiang Yang suddenly had other thoughts.

This ability could not only heal injuries, but also restore stamina. If that was the case, could it help him quickly get through his refractory period?

After forming a few ideas in his mind, Jiang Yang glanced at the sky outside. It was already nearing four or five in the afternoon.

"Qingwei, I actually got a little hurt today."

Jiang Yang suddenly clutched his chest and looked at Ye Qingwei with an ambiguous expression. She failed to notice his intentions; the moment she heard the word "hurt," she grew nervous.

Yet the instant Ye Qingwei stood up, Jiang Yang pounced on her.

"I've been fighting all day and I'm exhausted. Hurry and help me recover..."

They spent two full three-hour periods making love.

By eight or nine that evening, Jiang Yang finally staggered out of the room.

He had been wrong. Ye Qingwei's ability could restore stamina, but it could not replenish certain kinds of expenditure.

"Young Master Jiang, you finally decided to come out?"

Xiao Wan sat on the sofa. Seeing Jiang Yang's utterly drained face and Ye Qingwei's rosy complexion, she suddenly felt a little jealous. It felt like a wild boar she had raised for years had plowed someone else's field all day and collapsed from exhaustion.

"I couldn't tell that Young Master Jiang was proficient in all eighteen martial arts."

Qiu Chan suddenly remarked. She had originally planned to find Jiang Yang that afternoon to review the day's battle, but when she saw him enter the room with his arm around Ye Qingwei, she decided not to spoil their fun.

She had assumed it would only take ten or twenty minutes. Instead, she had waited a full three or four hours.

Even if Qiu Chan knew little about relations between men and women, remaining in combat for three or four hours straight was probably rare throughout all of human history, wasn't it?

Qiu Chan casually glanced at Ye Qingwei and saw that her legs were trembling.

"Ahem, ahem!"

Jiang Yang shot Xiao Wan and Qiu Chan a glare. These two actually dared to tease him now.

Once they were lying on his bed, he would see whether they could still say such things.

"Come over here. These things are for you."

Jiang Yang took out several Treasures he had acquired earlier.

They had not obtained the glove in Chen Ke's possession, so Jiang Yang only had four items here.

They were all C-rank items, though their effects differed.

They had already seen what the Golden Cloak did. Jiang Yang picked up a small purple flag.

Name: Support Battle Flag.

Type: Item.

Rank: C.

Skill: Team Glory. The holder may consume mental energy to apply the Excitement buff to the entire team, increasing combat power to a certain extent and removing some negative effects.
