Flower Scorpion's lips twitched, and she quietly clenched her fists, finally silently nodding.

She knew her strength was indeed inferior to these two, and she couldn't blame them for looking down on her, but... it was really frustrating.

Once I've succeeded in my cultivation, let's see how I mock you, old man.

Since the direction was set, the next day, Bentley went out of the city to house-hunt.

Inside the city and its outskirts were not suitable; the plan this time involved killing, and it could only be done outside the city.

There weren't fewer people outside the city than in the outskirts, but he still chose a secluded yard.

This yard was more than twenty kilometers away from the suburbs, considered remote from human habitation.

Around the yard, there were some woods, some farmland, and a small rocky hill.

Bentley found the homeowner, paid half a month's rent, and also gave a month's deposit.

In total, it was only fifteen silver coins, and that was without bargaining; otherwise, it would be cheaper.

On the night he rented the house, he brought Qu Jianlei there under the cover of darkness and started modifying the yard.

The modification took three whole nights, both of them busy non-stop.

They rested the entire fourth day; on the morning of the fifth day, Bentley went into the city to contact the other party and provided the address.

Since you took the initiative to size us up, then it's not too much for us to choose the main battleground, right?

The other party indeed did not refuse but also did not immediately agree, instead saying they needed to consult someone who could make the decision.

Bentley understood very well that the person he was in contact with probably could make the call.

The delay was just to send someone to scout the yard.

Since we chose the home ground, we should allow them to arrange a bit, right? Otherwise, it would seem like we couldn't afford to lose.

However, he also indicated, I'll only give you three days; after that, we won't wait.

The person nodded with a smile and agreed, and after the deal, also prepaid a deposit of a hundred silver coins.

Looking at how the two were chatting happily, no one would expect a formal challenge was just beginning.

After the agreement, Bentley turned and left, heading straight for the yard outside the city.

Considering the previous tragic experience of the Defense Team followers, this time no one dared to follow too closely.

However, he didn't conceal his whereabouts either — just waited for three days in that yard.

Celestial Craftsmanship responded quickly, after learning the exact location, they promptly sent several trucks, surrounding the yard from afar.

They were not the military and had no authority to block traffic.

But casually placing personnel at various passages to check the identity of passersby was not very intrusive.

Celestial Craftsmanship's internal security was not very strong, but they were in maintenance and maintained good relationships with some elite teams.

This time, the people blocking the yard mainly came from two teams, hired by Celestial Craftsmanship, with their own people following.

In the yard, Qu Jianlei and Bentley discovered the other's actions through a periscope.

"Is this all they're capable of," Bentley couldn't help but snort, "still relying on numbers."

Qu Jianlei took it in stride, "We chose the home ground, so it's their turn to play their cards, yes?"

After the arrangements outside, a team of four slowly walked toward the yard.

"In broad daylight..." Bentley glanced at the sky, "They shouldn't dare to make a move, right?"

"I guess they want to make direct contact," Qu Jianlei mused, "pressing step by step... it's somewhat methodical."

"It's just probing after all," Bentley dismissed with a snort.

Just when the group was over three hundred meters from the yard, he turned on the loudspeaker.

"Halt, any further is private property, and if you force your way in, don't blame me for being impolite!"

The four stopped in unison at the sound, and one among them took out a loudspeaker, "May I ask if this is Mr. Terry?"
