Even more crucially, this mistress had most likely eloped with her lover, leaving the Gang Leader with nothing but endless grassland above his head.

Thinking of this, Tang Ziyue thought of a saying, ”Overlord Martial Power dominates the world, but he’s lost his wife and now has to bow his head in disarray!”

At this moment, Nan Batian said to Tang Ziyue, ”Ziyue, think of a solution quickly. The mistress must have been abducted by some villain. We have to figure out how to save her.”

Hearing this, Tang Ziyue pondered for a while and said, ”Gang Leader, we need to think about who the mistress was usually close to, especially which men?”

”Close to which men? Me!”

Nan Batian confidently stated, then immediately followed with, ”Mr. Tang, why are you asking these useless questions? I feel this is directly aimed at me!”

Tang Ziyue glanced at Nan Batian, who then said, ”That’s right, it’s definitely targeted at me, and I have a feeling the person behind this is Chen Jiusi!”

”Huh?”

Tang Ziyue’s eyes widened in astonishment. Chen Jiusi? What did Chen Jiusi have to do with abducting the mistress?

Tang Ziyue asked, ”Why Chen Jiusi?”

Nan Batian replied, ”Because we have a grudge!”

Tang Ziyue then said, ”Elder Liu also has a grudge with you, so why not suspect Liu Laoguai?”

Nan Batian answered, ”I have been clashing with Elder Liu for twenty years, and even he hasn’t resorted to such a disgusting tactic. It must be Chen Jiusi’s doing. I must find Chen Jiusi to rescue the mistress.”

”Ah, Gang Leader!”

Tang Ziyue called out, but Nan Batian, paying him no mind, ordered, ”Someone, tell Qin Ying to gather the troops. We are heading to White Tiger Hall to find Chen Jiusi and rescue the mistress!”

Hearing this command, the disciples immediately responded, ”Yes!”

After they had said this, a group of people promptly got ready, but Tang Ziyue hurriedly interjected, ”Gang Leader, it may not be Chen Jiusi’s doing. He, a person like that, wouldn’t use the mistress to threaten you. I think it might be someone else!”

”Who?”

Nan Batian’s question caught Tang Ziyue off guard. Indeed, who could it be?

Who seduced the mistress, who was the adulterer? He had no clue, and it seemed that the Guild Leader Nan was equally in the dark.

Truly unaware that he had been cuckolded.

Tang Ziyue said, ”Nothing, but Gang Leader, if you trouble Chen Jiusi now, I fear Lord Yelu will not be pleased!”

Nan Batian said, ”Looking for my own mistress has nothing to do with Yelu. I must save Wan’er today!”

Hearing this, Tang Ziyue replied, ”Well... Alright then.”

Tang Ziyue’s expression was odd, thinking that perhaps they had really wronged Chen Jiusi this time. Clearly, the mistress’s adulterer was responsible, and it had nothing to do with Chen Jiusi.

What an undeserved disaster!

However, it seemed the Gang Leader was using the incident of the missing mistress to stir up trouble; poor Chen Jiusi probably had grievances he couldn’t voice.

Tang Ziyue thought, unaware that this time Nan Batian had indeed guessed correctly; the person was indeed abducted by Chen Jiusi, and it was the right move to look for him.

And Chen Jiusi was indeed the adulterer that Tang Ziyue had identified!

Troops were swiftly assembled—still that same group of seven hundred people—who had just returned. Some, in the middle of a meal and still with a bun in their mouth, were called to muster by Nan Batian.

Nan Batian found a high spot to stand and proclaimed, ”Brothers, Chen Jiusi has gone too far, in so far as to abduct my wife—an outrageous shame that cannot be tolerated. Follow me to Chen Jiusi’s White Tiger Hall, demand her return, and if he dares not hand her over, smash White Tiger Hall to pieces!”

”What, Gang Leader, was the mistress really kidnapped by Chen Jiusi?”

Upon hearing Nan Batian’s words, his number one lackey Qin Ying immediately inquired.

Nan Batian nodded lightly, ”Exactly.”

After hearing this, Qin Ying cried out, ”Flatten White Tiger Hall, save the mistress!”

”Flatten White Tiger Hall, save the mistress!”

At Qin Ying’s shout, the rest joined in, and upon hearing them, Tang Ziyue interjected, ”Hey hey, what ’save the mistress’? We are carrying out Darugachi’s orders to search White Tiger Hall and capture Zoroastrian Sect’s demon people; don’t get the mistress involved.”

”Forget about those trivialities.”

Hearing Tang Ziyue’s politically correct statement, Nan Batian was not convinced and raised his head to say, ”It’s about saving the mistress, indeed saving the mistress. If we can’t even make a peep when our wife is taken, are we even still men?”

”I’ll chant the same slogan even in front of Lord Yelu,” Nan Batian bellowed, ”Qin Ying, lead the way, let’s move out!”

”Yes!”

”All follow me, to White Tiger Hall, move out!”

”Yes!”

At the command, the seven hundred-strong troop set out straight for White Tiger Hall.

...

Meanwhile, at White Tiger Hall, Chen Jie was sitting and enjoying tea with Liu Laoguai.

However, Liu Laoguai’s face was visibly anxious, and he seemed restless.

”Jiu Si, aren’t you going to do something about this? I have no idea what Nan Batian has done to curry favor with Lord Yelu again, but Lord Yelu has actually allowed him to seal off our docks. He’s sealed off my biggest dock, and even impounded twenty-five of my cargo ships and over sixty small boats, driving me into a corner!”

”You know, ever since we had our iron ore sealed, Guild Cao has only managed to scrap by on the earnings from these few ships. Now with the docks sealed and not allowing our boats to ply the river, my Guild Cao can only see our resources dwindle, with not a single income. How do we get by like this?”

Liu Laoguai ranted in frustration to Chen Jie.

Before Chen Jie could reply, Chen Xiaohu spoke up, ”Guild Leader Liu is right; Nan Batian really is a scoundrel. Our ships and docks at Xiantao Ferry have all been impounded, too. We’ve been worrying over this matter. I was just discussing with the Hall Master that if it comes to it, we might have to take our grievances to Darugachi Mansion.”
