Because this was a major deal, Baizhang had brought a full hundred people with him. Besides the dozens of adventurer brothers under his command, he'd also gathered a group of independent adventurers from the Underground World—small teams of three to five people.
Baizhang had put a lot of thought and money into assembling a team of this size. For the adventurers in his own crew, everything was straightforward.
But the outsiders he'd hired were paid by the day. And if anyone was injured or killed, compensation had to be paid strictly according to their agreement.
So Baizhang had to keep the risks and costs of this trip under tight control and avoid any accidents if possible. Based on their previous dealings, he hadn't expected anything to go wrong. He couldn't claim to know the Golden Fox Regiment inside out, but he knew them well enough.
They were greedy and shameless, willing to do anything for money.
They had a little cunning and their own schemes, but almost all of it was devoted to figuring out how to get their hands on more money.
Though Baizhang did business with the Golden Fox Regiment and valued the partnership, deep down he looked down on them. He'd never believed that a bunch of greedy people like them could pose any threat.
To be honest, the Golden Fox Regiment wasn't capable of threatening them anyway.
That was why, despite being careful, Baizhang had felt confident. His earlier caution and wariness had been nothing more than professional instinct.
He'd never thought the Golden Fox Regiment would dare try anything. Their captain wasn't capable of it, and neither was Yang Shuangxi!
But this time, he'd clearly miscalculated.
That seemingly greedy man had actually been plotting against them!
The arrogance, greed, hesitation, and all the other tactics
