Hearing the movement at the door inside the room, Zhao Yan immediately turned around. Entering were two people clad in armor. One of them was Jie Xi, whom Zhao Yan was intimately familiar with.
The other was wearing a mask, and Zhao Yan recognized the mask at a glance.
That's right! The Tower Master had also come here!
Seeing the two enter, Zhao Yan knew his chances were slim. After hesitating for a moment, he opened his mouth: "Tow... Tower Master, these people were attempting treason, I..."
"Jie Xi." The Tower Master did not continue listening to Zhao Yan and raised a hand to signal.
"Yes!"
Jie Xi understood, hefted her greatsword, and in the next second, thrust it through Zhao Yan's chest!
"Tower Master..."
Before Zhao Yan could say anything more, he had already stopped breathing.
"Send them to the medical room for treatment." Seeing the matter resolved, the Tower Master left, ordering Jie Xi to take the people to the medical room.
"Fatty, are you alright?" On the way, Su Muying saw that Fatty hadn't passed out yet and asked.
"Ying... Sister Ying..., hehe...." Before he could finish speaking, Fatty fainted.
"Fatty, don't sleep, we'll be there soon if you hold on a little longer."
As they passed through the main hall, the survivors also noticed the three people lying on stretchers.
All of them were covered in bloodstains and were being quickly carried to the medical room by several medical staff members.
The well-informed survivors had already learned that this group had just killed someone in the arena, and they all stayed far away, afraid of attracting unnecessary trouble.
.....
Arriving at the medical room, Jie Xi briefly explained the situation to Sophie and then left to handle Zhao Yan's affairs.
Wang Zhi's performance this time was quite satisfactory to her; having the Tower Master witness it firsthand was precisely to find a reasonable way to deal with Zhao Yan.
If she had arrived earlier before Zhao Yan made a move, he would have had many reasons to explain why he was there. If she had arrived later, she might have only seen corpses.
In fact, she believed Wang Zhi was an intelligent person who could understand her intentions. It was precisely because Wang Zhi understood her and timed the destruction of the pendant perfectly that they avoided a mishap.
Outside the medical room, Su Muying and Jia Liuli waited anxiously.
"Sister Ying, they won't be in any danger, right?"
Su Muying did not speak, but silently stood by the wall, gently stroking Jia Liuli's head.
An hour later, Sophie emerged from the medical room.
"Wang Zhi suffered blunt force from the bullet impact, cracking a rib; he needs a few days of quiet recuperation. As for the other one, he was shot in the lower abdomen; the shrapnel has been removed. Judging by the blood loss, he cannot engage in strenuous activity for a month. For the one with the knife wound, we re-treated the wound, and it has now been sutured. He needs two days to return for suture removal. The total medical fee is 150 points. After payment, please settle it at the reception desk to the right."
Hearing that none of the three were seriously injured, Su Muying and Jia Liuli both breathed a sigh of relief.
After paying the medical fees and returning, the two saw that Wang Zhi and Old He had already come out. Wang Zhi was still walking slowly with a limp.
"Hey, why is your leg also lame?" Su Muying asked with confusion.
"Painfully lame... How are they doing?" Wang Zhi grimaced as he spoke, then sat down to the side.
Su Muying recounted what happened after he was shot.
Upon hearing that Fatty had been shot, Wang Zhi tried to get up and walk toward the medical room, but Su Muying pulled him back, saying he was already fine.
Wang Zhi breathed a sigh of relief. He hadn't expected the Tower Master would accompany them this time.
"It's good that everyone is alright... I didn't realize your full name was Su Muying," Wang Zhi turned his head to look at Ying in front of him.
Seeing Wang Zhi staring at her continuously, and noticing his infuriating look, Su Muying struggled to control herself internally, reminding herself that he was an injured person, which finally suppressed the urge to beat Wang Zhi severely.
After handling her affairs, Jie Xi came to the medical room alone again and returned the weapons belonging to Wang Zhi and his team.
"Wang Zhi, that deputy captain was indeed unaware and caused you trouble. Here is Zhao Yan's Magnetic Card; consider it your spoils of war. You can transfer the Survival Points inside when you go to the Trading Hall."
Jie Xi handed the items to Wang Zhi, then turned and left, leaving him standing there alone, bewildered.
What was going on? This counted as spoils of war too??
Wang Zhi looked at the few Magnetic Cards in his hand and felt somewhat curious about how much wealth Zhao Yan actually possessed?!
Thinking of this, the group set off towards the Trading Hall.
Upon arriving at the Trading Hall, the responsible staff member took the Magnetic Cards and checked the balance inside.
The Scarlet Flame Team members only had 800 Survival Points left in total, but Zhao Yan's balance startled them—the card showed over twelve thousand Survival Points!
"Did... did I read that wrong?" Wang Zhi recounted the number again, confirming there were no decimals, and excitement began to bubble up inside him.
But on second thought, it made sense. After all, Zhao Yan could be considered part of the leadership, having once stood on the conference platform; he surely hadn't missed out on much profit, so having some assets wasn't entirely excessive.
Wang Zhi stared at the 12,000 Survival Points on the screen, his breathing quickening. What a windfall! This was much more than they earned from a single expedition!
With this asset, the team could be directly promoted to a Level Three Team, not to mention the significant upgrades they could afford for their equipment.
"Good! Transfer everything to this card!" Wang Zhi said to the person in charge, struggling to contain his excitement. He felt as if he had just won a major lottery.
Once the Survival Points transfer was complete, the group prepared to head back to the Affairs Hall to finalize the team promotion, ensuring they could move their residence to the third floor first!
