"Oh? That kid? Is it possible that he is alone?" Wang Xiong, still fuming, hadn't paid much attention to how his son had described the situation. The person standing below was his Guard Captain. Although the Wang family had more than one Guard Captain, this one had been with him from the beginning, so there was no need for formalities in their relationship. Wang Xiong naturally listened to him with greater care.
"Yes, he is alone, and he's just a twelve or thirteen-year-old brat. According to reports from several martial artists, we entered the cave to capture him, but unfortunately, we fell for his trick of drawing us away..." The Guard Captain recounted every detail of what had happened to Wang Xiong, while Wang Tian was forced to supplement other details.
Mo Wen was no longer concerned about what was happening with the Wang family. Whether they would seek revenge on the other two families was irrelevant to him. Once he finished his business, he planned to leave Moro City. Moreover, the camp of the people from Kao Shu Village was near the west city gate, while he had robbed Wang Tian outside the east city gate. Even if the Wang family suspected his so-called "secret," they wouldn't go out of their way to find him.
The sun had already risen when Mo Wen finally arrived at Kao Shu Village's campsite. As soon as the villagers saw Er Gou Brother, they immediately made way for him, and Mo Wen walked straight into Erniu's tent.
"Brother, you finally returned! Where have you been all night?" Erniu rushed over as soon as he saw Mo Wen.
"Sorry to worry you, Brother Erniu. I ran into some trouble, which delayed me," Mo Wen said apologetically. He had intended to return before dark but ended up coming back at dawn. He could sense that Li Erniu's concern was genuine. Mo Wen plopped down beside the table in the tent and began pouring himself some tea.
"I'm just glad you're okay. I was about to send someone to look for you, but with Moro City being so vast, I didn't know where to start..." At this point, Erniu felt a bit awkward; there was nothing he could do but fret.
"Look at me; I'm fine! Let's cut to the chase—take this." With that, Mo Wen handed his Storage Belt to Erniu.
"Brother, are you leaving?" Erniu didn't take it; he could tell from Mo Wen's actions that Er Gou was planning to depart.
"You and I are brothers; I won't hide it from you. I kidnapped Wang Tian, so I have to go. Inside this belt are things that will be useful for you and the village. Take it as a small token of my appreciation," Mo Wen said as he directly tossed the belt into Erniu's arms.
"What!?" Upon hearing that Mo Wen had robbed Wang Tian, Li Erniu stood frozen in place before quickly rushing to the tent entrance to look around. After confirming that no one was nearby, he returned and sat back down.
"Brother, don't joke with me! You really robbed that Wang Tian?" Li Erniu's face was filled with astonishment. He knew that Er Gou Brother was formidable but never expected him to take down Wang Tian of the Moro Three Young Masters.
"Why would I joke about this? Yesterday I entered the city..." Mo Wen sat by the table sipping tea while recounting his glorious exploits from the previous day. Erniu sat across from him in a daze.
"Brother, this place has become a hotbed of trouble; it's not safe to stay here long. I'm going to gather our brothers and pack up to return to the village." After hearing about Mo Wen's exploits, Erniu stood up and headed for the exit.
"Wait a moment, Brother Erniu! This is exactly why I've come back—to say my goodbyes." Mo Wen pulled Erniu back into his seat.
