X-Dragon Era-Chapter 300 - s 229-231: Master of Layout

Lost in thought, Xin Yun gently stroked his chin and whispered to the five brothers behind him, "You guys, go back immediately, take advantage of their current relaxation, and attack them. You don’t have to kill anyone, but make sure to cause a big enough commotion!"

"What!" Upon hearing Xin Yun’s words, the five brothers exclaimed together, with Rat Second Brother especially alarmed as he shouted, "They just got a new expert, and we haven’t figured out the details yet. Isn’t this too risky?"

Hearing Rat Big Brother’s words, Xin Yun couldn’t help frowning. These five brothers were too cautious, just like rats, always needing to clearly probe things out before daring to act, and not even daring to make a move at the slightest disturbance.

This was usually a good thing, but... It was obvious that these brothers were not aware of Xin Yun’s plans and strategy, and they certainly couldn’t have imagined that Xin Yun wanted to give the Dual Assassins a wrong impression, making them judge these five brothers as reckless, physically strong, but simple-minded hoodlums.

Facing the silent, frowning Xin Yun, Rat Big Brother suddenly pulled Rat Second Brother, who wanted to continue speaking. Although they had never joined any gang before, they had never eaten pork, but at least they had seen pigs walking! They were very clear about the various rules of a gang; subordinates weren’t supposed to negotiate orders!

If the boss didn’t say anything, one certainly couldn’t ask for reasons!

Once an order was given, it had to be carried out, whether it was understood or not. Moreover, Rat Big Brother was very clear that they were still valuable to Xin Yun; he wouldn’t send them off to die.

With that in mind, Rat Big Brother decisively nodded and said, "All right, although I don’t know why, we will do it!"

Upon hearing Rat Big Brother’s words, Xin Yun couldn’t help but smile, nodding his head. Xin Yun spoke up, "That’s right, this is the way it should be. Before confirming that the gang has betrayed you, it’s best not to suspect the gang of framing you. Otherwise, the situation can be rather awkward and uncomfortable for both sides."

After saying this, Xin Yun paused briefly, then continued, "Rat Big Brother, can you tell me what you five brothers excel at the most? Do you have any plans for your future? Or perhaps... do you want to be unknown subordinates taking orders all your lives?"

"This..." Faced with Xin Yun’s question, the brothers hesitated, already a part of Xin Yun’s Axe Gang, but... Things had happened too suddenly, and up to this point, they hadn’t really given it much thought.

After much contemplation, the brothers quietly discussed among themselves. Seeing this, Xin Yun smiled faintly, did not interrupt, and just silently waited for them to discuss.

After a while, Rat Big Brother finally spoke up, "We think we understand, our strongest skill is Stealth, running away, disappearing into the earth and sky, beyond that..." He stopped in the middle of the sentence, his face turning red, unable to continue.

Smiling and nodding, Xin Yun agreed, "Exactly, you do have clear self-awareness. What you excel at is actually ambushing, scouting empty houses, and running away when the situation turns bad; truly the skills of a small-time hoodlum."

Hearing Xin Yun’s words, the brothers immediately blushed with shame. They wanted to refute it but were at a loss for words, exactly as Xin Yun had said. The skills they mastered were indeed so base and vulgar that they would be nothing in a head-on confrontation.

Watching the brothers’ embarrassed expressions, Xin Yun couldn’t help but laugh and shook his head. Xin Yun continued, "If this continues, even if you are placed in high positions, you will only become the laughingstock of everyone, the subjects of ridicule. It’s obvious... that’s not what you want."

Hearing Xin Yun’s words, all five brothers nodded in agreement. Yes... although they were genuinely small-time hoodlums, this did not mean they wanted to remain so for life. But their characteristics were too much like those of hoodlums, so... This had always been their dilemma and the reason other gangs didn’t take them in.

Seeing the brothers agree with his statement, Xin Yun carried on, "In the eyes of most people, like you, who can only ambush, create damage when the victim isn’t present, or bully the few with the number of the many, it’s really too unprofessional, simply despicable and shameless, just scum!"

Hearing Xin Yun’s words, the brothers’ faces instantly turned purple-red with anger; although they were very unwilling to listen, these words were precisely what the brothers loathed to hear. Yet, they had to admit that these were indeed everyone’s thoughts.

Facing the brothers’ embarrassed and annoyed expressions, Xin Yun unapologetically continued, "To everyone, you are nothing special, they just disdain to do so. If they are willing, even an idiot would do better than you!"

"Huff... Huff..." Listening to Xin Yun’s words, the brothers panted heavily, their eyes bloodshot and their fists clenched tight, on the verge of exploding.

Seeing that he had provoked them enough, Xin Yun’s tone suddenly changed, raising his voice, "What? Ashamed of your own abilities? But have you ever considered if things are really as they think?"

Startled, the five brothers all looked at Xin Yun, confused about what he really meant. Seeing this, Xin Yun continued, "The benevolent see benevolence, the wise see wisdom! Have you ever thought about why everyone despises you, why you’re thought of as small-time thugs? Is it really because of your abilities?"
