PS: Glory belongs to the LPL!—a rousing cheer from some clumsy-handed author!
Another PS: I'll be writing through the night. A massive update tomorrow~
Those black-robed men had needed less than thirty minutes to break through the defense line of the original Kunshan Jade Shattered's assault team and capture Zhao Wan and the others.
Only a handful of assault team members remained, still stubbornly launching harassment attacks to hold them back.
But everyone understood.
Aside from wasting a little of the black-robed men's time, this approach could accomplish nothing!
It might even lead to needless casualties!
Li Jinghua was so terrified she was on the verge of fainting.
Zhao Sisi had resisted so fiercely that she'd been knocked unconscious on the spot.
Zhao Wan, however, was unharmed.
It was clear that the black-robed men were treating her fairly well and hadn't resorted to any rough handling.
But Zhao Wan wasn't so naive as to think they meant her any kindness!
Their methods were astonishing, and they were thoroughly prepared. Zhao Wan understood that her side probably wouldn't escape this time.
But she hadn't completely given up hope!
There was one reason.
Wang Dong's recent communication was her best hope!
To avoid arousing suspicion, the black-robed men didn't dare cut off all communication with the outside.
If outside communications suddenly became impossible, it would easily arouse suspicion.
Especially with a massive Star Destroyer like the Sky Peng Horizontal visiting.
It could bring unexpected changes at any moment.
The black-robed men's response was to threaten Li Jinghua with everyone's lives, forcing her to politely refuse Wang Dong's visit.
Faced with this situation, Li Jinghua had no choice but to give in.
That was why she'd earlier used Zhao Wan's ill health as an excuse to give Wang Dong the "cold shoulder."
