Xu Zhiming had no choice; he could only lower his head in defeat.
Hong Zhongkai saw this scene and felt extremely satisfied.
What if I've lost my subordinates?
As long as I want, can't I still rebuild my forces?
With a swelled heart, Hong Zhongkai arrogantly asked, "Xu Zhiming, what brings you here in such a hurry?"
Xu Zhiming lowered his head and said with forced humility, "There was a rumor earlier that Qin Hao was spotted near a certain valley..."
"What! Qin Hao!"
Hong Zhongkai was shocked upon hearing this and immediately wore a look of fanaticism.
To say who the main characters in the recent forest events were, they would undoubtedly be the Elephant King, Qin Hao, and Hong Zhongkai.
The Elephant King needs no introduction; after all, he's the invincible overlord of the forest, having trampled countless human lives.
As for Hong Zhongkai, because of his arrogance and penchant for torturing those outside military forces, he is universally hated.
