Chapter 365 Dangerous Person
Upon seeing his movements, the crowd outside immediately turned their attention to the mysterious hooded figure.

Their eyes darted around as they followed Jiang Yuan's movements, but the hooded man's actions were still too fast for them to keep up with. Even just focusing their gaze on his movements was impossible unless they were actually there.

The hooded man was too fast! It was impossible for anyone to observe how he performed each move.

This movement technique, once seen by Eleven, became as elusive as a shadow, making it impossible for him to track.

Eleven observed the two people's condition and quickly analyzed the current situation. For some reason, a thought flashed through his mind that surprised even himself.

"Could it be..."

His bad premonition grew stronger, and he dared not think any further, only staring intently at the movements between the two.

Finally, he heard a "thud," followed by a chilling groan and the sound of a sharp weapon piercing flesh.

He didn't realize he had been distracted for even a moment, yet the scene before him, and that familiar body, were undeniably there.

Hearing the slow flow of blood, he suddenly felt a chill run through him, sensing that danger was drawing ever closer...

He tried to calm himself down. He knew that if he felt this way, the people outside must feel the same way, or even more so. All he could do at that moment was to calm himself down as quickly as possible.

Actually, he didn't expect the hooded man to make such a swift move.

He had considered this before, but he felt that even if the hooded man was far stronger than his boss, he wouldn't kill him directly; at most, he would just scare him and wouldn't endanger his life.

But the hooded man's actions still greatly surprised him.

At that moment, he felt that if this hooded man was an enemy, he would be a more dangerous person than his boss.

This man is decisive and ruthless. Although he is not as tyrannical and cruel as his boss, his calm and decisiveness is an extremely dangerous trait. This trait means that he will not give any warning signs when danger is approaching, making him difficult to predict.

Such a person has his own judgment, and no matter what his or her status, he or she should never be an enemy!
Eleven pondered to himself that the current situation was extremely unfavorable for him, and he could not easily get away with it.

"Come out."

After Jiang Yuan finished speaking, he stepped over the threshold and stood firmly in front of the door, exuding an intimidating aura that made people afraid to approach.

Shiyi knew that Jiang Yuan's words were meant for him, so he didn't dare to remain still and quickly walked towards the door.

He walked past Jiang Yuan and stood with the people who had been waiting outside the door, awaiting Jiang Yuan's instructions.

These people appeared unusually quiet, and not even a few angry eyes could be seen. None of them had anger or resentment in their eyes; only curiosity and fear.

This surprised Jiang Yuan. Even the most disorganized team always has a few staunch supporters. Those supporters knew that even if it was like throwing an egg against a rock, they would definitely express their dissatisfaction with their actions and vent their anger for their leader.

But none of the people standing in front of him spoke up for their boss, nor did they show any sign of taking any action.

This really made Jiang Yuan feel a little strange.

"Eleventh Brother, can you tell me what's going on?" Jiang Yuan pointed to the people who were tied up with ropes.

Eleven knew this was a task that would offend people, but he had no other choice. Since the hooded man had specifically asked him to speak, he was determined to take this opportunity to make a good impression.

With that in mind, he decided to just tell the truth frankly.

"This is one of that person's control methods." Eleven wouldn't be so tactless as to call the deceased "Big Brother" in front of the hooded man, nor did he want to address him as before. He was already tired of his old life, and he was fed up with that person. However, as soon as he spoke, he noticed several unfriendly eyes.

“You don’t need to look at me like that. There’s no need to hide anything now. We didn’t want to do those things.” He responded to the owner of those pairs of eyes.

Having said that, he ignored the others and addressed the hooded man again: "Just like before, if you want to pass, you must offer enough money; otherwise, you will have to leave your people behind and pay them in exchange."

"Where's that box?" Jiang Yuan asked.

Eleven approached the box, opened it, and replied, "If we encounter someone tough, we beat them into submission, then leave some kind of 'mark' on them and tie up their companions. Of course, sometimes we'll deliberately let people go, depending on the situation, so we can find out about their families."

"I'm afraid it's not just that!"

Eleven let out a long sigh and said, "Of course."

Seeing his unreserved admission, Jiang Yuan was satisfied and asked, "Was someone authorized to do this?"

"I don't know. Since I started following him, I've never seen him secretly meet with anyone," Eleven replied without hesitation.

"And you guys?" Jiang Yuan turned her gaze to the others.

Those people all stared at the hood and shook their heads.

None of them were as clever as Eleven, and they were afraid of saying the wrong thing. However, their long silence was still hard to contain.

“I was one of the first to follow him. At first, I didn’t realize I was doing this kind of thing with him, but I had no choice back then. Once you get involved with him, there’s no escaping it. I’m timid, and I was one of the first to join. I’ve seen too many people who resist him and what happened to them. I could only endure it and do what he told me to do.”

As the man spoke, he seemed to recall past events, and his eyes grew increasingly dim.

Jiang Yuan carefully observed his expression as he spoke, but found no signs that he was lying.

"When you first met him, what was his strength?" Jiang Yuan asked.

"From the moment I met him, he was already a Heaven-rank martial artist."

“That makes it very strange!” As soon as the man finished answering Jiang Yuan’s question, a thin, young-looking man immediately raised a question.

These words immediately attracted everyone's attention.

"What do you mean?" Jiang Yuan asked the young man.

“That’s him!” He patted the shoulder of a middle-aged man next to him and said to the hooded man, “He joined not much later than anyone else, but he was already a mid-level Heaven Rank martial artist when he joined.”

Jiang Yuan turned his gaze to the middle-aged man who had just been patted on the shoulder and asked, "When did you join?"

Upon hearing this, he pointed to the person who had spoken first and replied, "He was the first one, and I came after him."

"That's the second one."

"I guess so. I heard there were other people involved, but they're all dead."
