Tiger Hall!
One of the three halls acknowledged as the strongest by the Red Dragon Association.
Moreover, Meng Wantang mentioned to Shi Qing last time that in the Red Dragon Association, Dragon Hall, Monkey Hall, and Rooster Hall are allies.
With this, the strongest 'Rat, Dragon, Tiger' three halls of the Red Dragon Association, they have Dragon and Tiger halls on their side.
Plus Monkey Hall and Rooster Hall.
Even if they are at a numerical disadvantage, their combat strength is comparable.
Shi Qing thought of this and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Hall Master Meng," Shi Qing greeted the arriving Meng Wantang.
Meng Wantang nodded: "Let me introduce, this is Han Peng, Hall Master of Dragon Hall; this is Lin Zhenghao, Hall Master of Monkey Hall; this is Cai An, Hall Master of Rooster Hall."
After speaking, she turned to the three hall masters and said, "Hall Masters, this is the general manager of Obsidian Capital, Shi Qing, whom I've mentioned to you."
"Greetings, President Shi," said the three hall masters, including Han Peng, as they clasped their fists towards Shi Qing.
Shi Qing also clasped her fists in return, "Pleasure to meet you!"
By this point, the combat power on Shi Qing's side was nearly equal to Wen Bingtao's side, only slightly disadvantaged in numbers, but it wasn't significant.
Seeing Shi Qing's side forming their combat power, Wen Bingtao smiled, "Dragon, Tiger, Monkey, Rooster halls? Aside from Rat Hall, the Red Dragon Association is almost all here. Hall Master Xiang, aren't you going to say something?"
Xiang Dongsheng nodded, immediately pointing at Meng Wantang: "Meng Wantang, as a hall master of the Red Dragon Association, how dare you aid the wicked, are you betraying the Red Dragon Association?"
Meng Wantang heard and sharply retorted, "Xiang Dongsheng, you're stirring trouble here, aren't you the one aiding the wicked? Do you dare say you're unaware of the consequences if Chu Hualong returns to Jiangcheng?"
"What Chu Hualong, who told you about Chu Hualong?"
Xiang Dongsheng sneered, "Don't you even know why we are standing here today?"
"What do you mean?" Meng Wantang frowned upon hearing this, feeling uneasy.
She had just received news that the entire Dog Hall had mobilized, and within minutes, members from other halls also moved out.
Realizing something was amiss, Meng Wantang immediately called upon Dragon, Monkey, and Rooster halls and rushed here.
Unexpectedly, she saw the Silver Fox Commerce Association with Xiang Dongsheng and others confronting Shi Qing.
To be honest, she still didn't know what exactly was happening.
She only knew that in dealing with Chu Hualong, she and Shi Qing were in the same boat and couldn't let Shi Qing be isolated.
"You don't even know why we're here, yet you dare stand with Obsidian Capital? Laughable!"
Xiang Dongsheng scoffed, "Today, we are here to deal with the public enemy of Jiangcheng from ten years ago, the Demoness!"
"Demon, Demoness?"
Meng Wantang's heart skipped a beat upon hearing this, sensing something was wrong.
She quickly looked at the three hall masters of Dragon, Monkey, and Rooster, and indeed, found they were looking at each other with some hesitation in their eyes.
Before Meng Wantang could speak, Hall Master Han Peng of Dragon Hall spoke first, "Xiang Dongsheng, are you sure of this? What evidence do you have?"
"Hall Master Han, if I wasn't absolutely sure, I wouldn't dare show up here."
Speaking, Xiang Dongsheng pushed Yang Monian forward.
Yang Monian looked at Han Peng, saying, "Hall Master Han, ten years ago when I encountered the Demoness, you were leading the team, do you remember?"
Han Peng glanced at Yang Monian, pondered for a moment, then nodded.
Ten years ago, he led a group of experts from the Red Dragon Association to besiege the Demoness, and Yang Monian was among them.
"We saw the Demoness once back then, and her gaze, I will never forget for the rest of my life. If the person inside isn't the Demoness, I, Yang Monian, am willing to die for it!" Yang Monian assured, thumping his chest.
Hearing this, Han Peng nodded, but didn't immediately believe Yang Monian's words.
He turned to Shi Qing, "President Shi, may I go inside to take a look? Just me, if the person inside isn't the Demoness, I will personally deal with Dog Hall's people to apologize to you."
Dealing with the Demoness, Han Peng was very serious.
When they were besieging the Demoness, Dragon Hall suffered the most casualties among the experts.
Even Han Peng's brother died at the hands of the Demoness.
Han Peng was eager to find the Demoness and exact his revenge on her.
Faced with Han Peng's request, Shi Qing bit her lip and declared, "No way! Today, if anyone wants to enter this door, they'll have to walk over my dead body!"
With that, Shi Qing took a step back, her slender body blocking everyone, her gaze unwavering.
"If that's the case, then..." Han Peng's gaze suddenly grew cold.
"Hall Master Han, wait!"
Meng Wantang quickly spoke, "Chu Hualong's return is imminent, this might be his ruse to sow discord. Let me communicate with Shi Qing first."
Han Peng nodded, slowly retracting his aura.
Meng Wantang breathed a sigh of relief and hurried to Shi Qing's side, whispering, "Tell me the truth, is the Demoness inside?"
Shi Qing shook her head, "I'm not sure either."
Meng Wantang frowned, "Then who is inside?"
"Qin Chuan and his stepmother..."
Shi Qing quickly recounted the story.
After hearing it, Meng Wantang felt uneasy.
Being able to counterattack and kill two people amid the assaults from Thin Monkey, Crouching Tiger, and Yang Monian, Qin Chuan's stepmother is certainly no ordinary person.
Along with Yang Monian's testimony.
Evidently, Ye Qingmei is highly likely to be the Demoness!
In this case, Dragon Hall will undoubtedly turn against them, and it's likely that Monkey Hall and Rooster Hall will follow suit.
There's no choice, ten years ago the Demoness caused quite a stir in Jiangcheng, especially for the Red Dragon Association.
The Red Dragon Association lost the most experts to the Demoness, more than the other forces combined.
Though Chu Hualong is about to return, facing the formidable enemy that is the Demoness, other halls will not let it rest.
Especially Han Peng, he would never give up the chance for revenge.
What should be done now?
Meng Wantang looked serious, pondering deeply on a way to break the situation.
"Meng Wantang, are you trying to buy time?"
Xiang Dongsheng turned to Han Peng and urged, "Hall Master Han, regarding the matter of dealing with the Demoness, our interests align, relying on Dragon Hall alone might not breach this door, why not join forces?"
Han Peng fell into contemplation.
He was reluctant to cooperate with Xiang Dongsheng since Xiang Dongsheng belonged to Chu Hualong.
But, currently, to get through the door, collaborating with him was the only option.
Thinking of this, Han Peng looked at Shi Qing again, "President Shi, I'll ask you one last time, can I go inside to check alone?"
Shi Qing took a deep breath and commanded, "Everyone at Obsidian Capital, hold the door firmly!!!"
