?Chapter Seventeen: Bad News

Xiong Yuanting took the Cosmic Bracelet and saw that it contained thirty thousand King-grade Crystal Stones. His heart leaped with joy.

Minghong City had sent out quite a few powerful fighters this time, but because Kuang Hongwei had been in no mood to fight, Minghong City hadn't suffered much. Getting thirty thousand King-grade Crystal Stones felt like a windfall.

Besides, what Xiong Yuanting cared about wasn't the number of Crystal Stones, but the blow they'd dealt to Kuangyun City.

Xiong Yuanting had his doubts, but he didn't voice them.

Minghong City was allied with Bi Fan. The stronger Bi Fan and his people were, the better it was for Minghong City.

"Lord Bi Fan, how about we take advantage of this joyous occasion and swear brotherhood?
