"Of course. The position of Thief Zhi has never been easy to hold. You know that others don't support you for nothing."
Chu Jie reminded him.
"This disciple understands. Please rest assured, Master. A drop of kindness shall be repaid with a gushing spring—I know what I need to do."
Fifth's tone grew even more respectful.
As long as he carried out his master's plan.
Everything would get better!
After leaving the cave residence, Fifth returned to one of the hideouts he operated and summoned several trusted subordinates, speaking in a cold voice.
"You four, go capture Seventh's boy for me."
The four confidants nodded and turned to leave.
"Stop!"
Seeing how decisively the four men acted, Fifth called them back with a dark expression.
The four turned around together and looked at their leader.
"Do you know the address?"
Fifth asked.
The four shook their heads in unison.
"Then why are you leaving so fast?"
"We thought you wanted us to search for him, Boss."
One of them answered, his voice carrying a hint of grievance.

After hearing that, Fifth felt it made damn good sense. He then took a white jade compass from his storage ring and tossed it to the four men.
"Take this and search for him. It'll lead you to the target. You'll be handsomely rewarded once the job is done."
The four hurriedly caught the compass and ran off to carry out the task.
Fifth took out a small bottle of spirit wine from his storage ring.
He drained the spirit wine
