After hearing Yang Yu's explanation, Secamens said that it was impossible for the Yinlan Chamber of Commerce not to be on guard. Yang Yu and his team needed manpower, and his team could stay to help.
But Yang Yu insisted again and again that it was very dangerous for them to continue staying here and it would be better for them to return home immediately.
Seeing Yang Yu's firm attitude, Secamens had to give up. After asking Yang Yu to pay more attention, he discussed with his teammates about returning to Troon.
Iyas was confused by what she heard nearby, but she still understood that her brother might be in the hands of the Yinlan Chamber of Commerce, and Yang Yu seemed to have anticipated that the situation would develop into this.
"Do you understand the current situation?" Yang Yu suddenly asked.
"Most of it is barely understandable. It is very likely that Huck was bought by the Yinlan Chamber of Commerce a long time ago, so we have not been able to find Huck's whereabouts. Right?"
Without any intention of covering up, Yang Yu nodded with an extremely serious expression: “To be honest, the current situation is very bad.
From the beginning, they teamed up with the Chaoyang Chamber of Commerce to wait and see, and now they have found out the identities of Hack and you, bought Hack, and wanted to lure us in and wait for us to fall into their trap.
The Yinlan Chamber of Commerce is more difficult and patient than we thought.
However, this patience may be temporary.”
A trace of anxiety appeared on Iyas's face, but she quickly calmed down and confirmed with Yang Yu: "You mean, if we don't rescue Hak, Hak may be in danger."
"Very likely. We don't know how long they can wait, but if they learn we've left the country, they'll probably kill us."
"Tear up the ticket?"
"This is an open call. If I were them, I would probably make the same choice as them. It is a wise decision.
Judging from the current situation, they are more or less aware of our whereabouts, but they did not send many family forces to besiege us. Instead, they chose to issue a reward to underground bounty hunters.
I'm afraid they haven't gained a firm foothold in Setis yet.
Even though they hate us to the core, they still focus most of their energy on the survival of the Chamber of Commerce.
If the underground bounty hunters can catch us, everyone will be happy. If they can't, the Yinlan Chamber of Commerce will set up a dragnet and use Hake as bait to lure us to their door."
Hearing Yang Yu say this, Iyas couldn't help but frowned.
Regardless of Hack's current situation, as long as Hack is placed within the scope of the Yinlan Chamber of Commerce's activities, the Yinlan Chamber of Commerce can mobilize the combat forces that are unwilling to leave the Chamber of Commerce easily at any time to encircle and intercept them.
What's more, they cannot delay or leave the country. When they leave, the Yinlan Chamber of Commerce will kill Hake with the excuse that "your sister's love for you is no greater than this".
Iyas is now in a dilemma. If she saves her brother, the team will be in unprecedented danger. If she doesn't save him, she will regret it for the rest of her life.
"Iyas, what do you think we should do now?"
"I"
"Tell me what you really think." Yang Yu said calmly, "Save him or not?"
After struggling hard, Iyas finally spoke out her true thoughts, "I want to rescue my brother, but I also don't want the team to take the risk of never coming back. Isn't there a way to have the best of both worlds?"
"It's difficult. Once the operation begins, we will have to take a big risk. Until now, I haven't thought of a strategy to completely avoid the risk.
However, there is a way to reduce the risk.
However, this plan is quite difficult to implement and has a high probability of failure. "
"After failure, what are the risks? If it's too dangerous, try to think of other methods. Oh, by the way, since the other side is looking for bounty hunters to hunt us, can we hire some bounty hunters to cause trouble over there and then take advantage of the opportunity."
Before Yiyas finished speaking, Bai Jin reminded her, "Yiyas, don't think it's so simple. Although Yang Yu sold a lot of things and saved a lot of money, it is still far from enough to compare financial resources with a chamber of commerce.
What's more, the Yinlan Chamber of Commerce had made a fortune from the resurrection medicine.
A lean camel is bigger than a horse. If the Yinlan Chamber of Commerce offers a condition that they will get a large amount of gold coins as long as we are captured, the bounty hunters who are targeting the bounty will most likely change their minds and turn against us.
After all, it is much easier to catch one person than to make an enemy of an entire chamber of commerce."
Yang Yu agreed, “As Bai Jin said, asking bounty hunters to help is the worst option.”
Iyas lowered her head bitterly. She thought she had come up with a good plan, but it turned out to be too naive.
"However, the solution I came up with was to seek help."
Suddenly, Yang Yu changed the subject and smiled as usual.
"I just don't know if I can get those reinforcements. Well, there's no loss if I fail. Let's go and ask for them first. If we can't get them, we can think of other ways. I have accepted your commission, and I will never allow this mission to fail like this."
At this time, in an old guild hall, an iron cage was placed in the center of the backyard of the guild hall.
Imprisoned in the cage was an extremely thin figure with delicate skin and a pretty face, but his clothes were tattered and his long golden hair hung listlessly on his shoulders.
The sun shone directly on the iron cage, scorching the iron plate above, causing the heat to spread to every part of the cage.
The metal fence felt like it would burn just by touching it. The petite figure in the cage didn't dare to get close to the edge of the cage, but hid in the shadow in the center of the cage, where it was only a little cooler.
Suddenly, a basin of ice water penetrated the bars of the cage and poured onto him, and ice cubes fell around him with a crackling sound.
A young man in fancy clothes, holding a basin of water, laughed, "I see you're quite hot! Let me cool you down a little. If you get heatstroke, it will be quite troublesome."
Looking at the elf shivering in the cage, the young man turned and left with satisfaction.
But who would have thought that as soon as he turned around, he saw the president of the Chamber of Commerce with a face like a pancake walking towards him. He immediately stood up straight and greeted the president with a pancake face.
"Hello, President Shang!"
The pancake-faced man took a look at the cage, turned around and slapped the young man in the face, "Asshole, I told you to take good care of him, is this how you take care of him?"
The young man covered his slapped face, looking angry, "But, it's all because of his sister and those two people's fault that our Chamber of Commerce has fallen to this point."
"They are the ones who are wrong, not him! You are old enough, you should learn to distinguish the primary from the secondary. He is an important bait. Before luring them here, you must ensure his safety. Clean him up now."
"But."
"There's nothing to worry about!"
Curled up in the cage, Huck heard the conversation between Pancake Face and the young man. He learned that his sister was still alive and that he was the bait.
"Don't come, sister. As long as you are alive, it's fine."
His pale lips opened and closed as Huck muttered to himself.
