Ouyang Kai's expression changed. They had walked into an ambush!
Azu and Ayō quickly guarded him on either side, their gazes cold as they scanned the area ahead.
A middle-aged man wearing glasses slowly emerged. He looked at Ouyang Kai and said calmly, "Two people escaped ahead. Did you really think I would give you another chance to get away?"
"Who are you?" Ouyang Kai asked coldly, staring at the man.
"I am the leader of the X organization. Ouyang Kai, the dignified young master, is imprisoned here by me. How do you feel about that?" the man in glasses said slowly, a hint of triumph in his voice.
"You know my identity and still dare to act like this. Are you trying to rebel?!" Ouyang Kai looked straight at him.
"Rebel?"
The man in glasses chuckled twice. "To be honest, I don't really care who the master of Lijing Island is, but..."
His expression gradually turned sinister. "It's because Ouyang Zhenfeng is so short-sighted. I could clearly produce special drugs, and if he had just nodded, we could have sold them to the southern territories for enormous profits. But what did he do? He prohibited islanders from leaving the island for independent trade! For his personal absolute authority, he disregarded the island's economy!"
"Because of your wicked and unorthodox research?"
Ouyang Kai said coldly, showing no fear, maintaining the calm demeanor of someone in a superior position. "You know perfectly well why you aren't allowed to trade outside the island. Stop pretending!"
The man in glasses clenched his fists in anger. "Ouyang Kai, now that you're a prisoner, you still dare to speak to me like this. If I don't make you suffer, you might not know my capabilities!"
"Guards! Attack him!" the man in glasses roared.
Immediately, ten burly men swarmed towards Ouyang Kai.
Azu and Ayō protected Ouyang Kai closely, but Ouyang Kai was not one to hold back. He kicked away the foremost man.
Despite being three against ten, they held their ground.
Ouyang Kai gradually realized that this man in glasses didn't dare to kill him!
Otherwise, he could have ordered his men to open fire instead of resorting to this brute force, which showed how wary they were.
Bang!
Ouyang Kai's movements were decisive and ruthless. Every blow landed on a vital spot, causing his attackers to writhe in pain.
Before long, all ten burly men lay on the ground, groaning and grimacing in agony.
"Useless!"
Seeing this, the man in glasses turned ashen. "Keep attacking! Break his arm!"
Soon, several more men attacked him.
Ouyang Kai was only human, and his stamina was limited. As two men grabbed him, about to break his arm, a stern shout suddenly cut through the air.
"Stop! What are you doing!"
Ouyang Gong roared, his face ashen, and quickly strode forward.
Upon seeing Ouyang Gong, the man in glasses reined in his impulsiveness. He stepped forward with a fawning smile, greeting him, "Brother Gong."
Ouyang Gong asked sternly, "Have you forgotten our deal? If Mr. Chen you have no intention of cooperating and insist on disrupting my plans, then I will withdraw from this partnership."
"No, no..." the man in glasses said with a chuckle. "I just wanted to teach him a lesson. Since Brother Gong has spoken, I will stop immediately!"
He then immediately ordered his men, "Stop fighting. Send him to the dungeon."
Ouyang Kai looked at Ouyang Gong before him, his eyes changing. Even though Ouyang Gong was a member of the Ouyang family, he shouldn't have been able to access internal family information so quickly.
However, the computer in the room with the secret passage did contain such information. Did this mean there was someone else behind the organization?
Ouyang Kai suddenly said, "Ouyang Gong, is he truly the one in charge of the X organization? Have you investigated thoroughly? Don't be used by someone..."
Upon hearing this, the man in glasses' expression flickered slightly.
He feigned composure and said angrily, "Ouyang Kai, do you think you can get away by trying to sow discord between us? Ridiculous! Come, take him away! Speed up the drug research and turn him into a puppet! Then I'll show him!"
Ouyang Gong, being naturally suspicious, took Ouyang Kai's words to heart.
The man in glasses quickly explained, "Don't listen to his nonsense. I am very sincere in my cooperation with you. As long as you can provide us with continuous funding and sales channels, if you want to be the master of Lijing Island, we will fully support you!"
"Of course, I believe you."
Ouyang Gong's eyes were deep, and he said softly, "As long as my people can get onto the island tonight, our cooperation will continue."
The man in glasses looked at his expression, his mind racing.
This matter could no longer be concealed. He had to report it to his superior and await his instructions...
