Chapter 231 - 151: Heartache Just Thinking About It

Wei Dabao’s eyes were cold and sinister as he glanced at them and lowered his voice, "We can’t wait any longer. You two, tomorrow morning, gather all the Protectors, bring the gear, and follow me to grab that ’Great Treasure’!"

Zhang San and Li Si exchanged a glance, a trace of hesitation on their faces.

Zhang San cautiously asked, "Master, shouldn’t we wait for news from the Prime Minister? In case..."

"Wait for what?!" Wei Dabao abruptly interrupted him, his voice tinged with anger. "If we wait any longer, we’ll miss our chance! Mr. Luo is digging every day. If we don’t act now, we won’t even get to drink the soup!"

Li Si quickly agreed, "The master is right! We can’t wait any longer! Tomorrow morning, we’ll take people over and catch them off guard!"

Wei Dabao nodded, his expression easing slightly.

"Remember, be quick and ruthless! Show no mercy to anyone who dares to stop us!"

Zhang San and Li Si hurriedly nodded in agreement, a hint of ferocity appearing on their faces.

Zhang San rubbed his hands together and said with a fawning smile, "Master, don’t worry, the brothers have been holding back for a long time. Tomorrow, we’ll definitely grab the ’Great Treasure’ for you!"

Wei Dabao waved them off, indicating for them to leave.

The two swiftly exited, leaving the room quiet again, with only Wei Dabao’s heavy breathing and the creaking of his wife’s rocking chair.

His wife looked up at him and said blandly, "Aren’t you afraid of causing big trouble by doing this?"

Wei Dabao sneered, a fierce gleam flashing in his eyes.

"Trouble? Hmph, once I get my hands on those treasures, I won’t fear any trouble! Besides, with my uncle backing me in the Capital City, who would dare touch me?"

His wife pursed her lips, said no more, and merely sighed gently before continuing to tease the cat in her lap.

Wei Dabao stood by the window, gazing at the distant landscape, his eyes filled with greed and resolve.

The aristocratic families of Da Jing were all vast and wealthy.

Their Protectors were countless in number, from a few dozen to several hundred.

As a branch of the Wei Family, Wei Dabao lived in comfort and privilege, with many businesses under his command, naturally employing quite a few Protectors.

The Protectors were all strong and burly, wielding cudgels, machetes, and swords with imposing might.

The next day, after breakfast, Wei Dabao had Zhang San and Li Si gather all the Protectors. A large group of them marched with great momentum straight to the wasteland project outside the city.

He had long calculated that once he seized that "Great Treasure," his wealth would multiply several times over.

Wei Dabao walked at the front, followed by Zhang San and Li Si, with dozens of Protectors behind them.

All the Protectors wielded weapons, exuding intimidation. Passersby on the road quickly moved aside, afraid of provoking this fierce gang.

When they reached the gate of the wasteland project, a large group of them were stopped from afar by the guards of the Big Word Unit.

The guards of the Big Word Unit were not to be trifled with; they held electric batons with serious expressions.

The leader of the Big One Team took a step forward and loudly asked, "Who are you? This place doesn’t allow unauthorized personnel! Leave immediately."

Wei Dabao wouldn’t take these people seriously.

His eyes were now only on the "Great Treasure," and he was already impatient.

Wei Dabao sneered, waved his hand, and shouted to the Protectors behind him, "Charge in! Anyone who dares to stop me from getting the treasure, kill them!"

The guards immediately turned on their electric batons, which buzzed with electricity.

Overwhelming the guards with sheer numbers, Wei Dabao’s band charged towards the gate, swinging their cudgels, machetes, and swords fiercely.

"Do not enter, no one is allowed in."

The guards shouted as they rushed forward, thrusting their black electric batons at anyone who dared approach, dropping them with one strike.

Despite the power of the electric batons, there were too many attackers, and the guards struggled to keep up.

The crackling of electric batons was constant as Protectors fell one by one, but more found gaps and fought their way in.

"Master, look! They’re faltering!"

Li Si shouted excitedly, pointing at the already chaotic guard formation in front.

Wei Dabao laughed heartily, his plump body shaking with his laughter, "Good! Charge! If anyone dares block the way, beat them to death for me!"

Though the ten or so guards resisted fiercely, they ultimately couldn’t match the overwhelming numbers.

In the flashes of electric baton sparks, Protectors fell in droves, but Wei Dabao, Zhang San, Li Si, and a few Protectors still rushed through the gate.

Wei Dabao’s face was full of satisfaction, his eyes shining with greed as if he already saw the piles of treasure.
