Xi Guxiu quieted down, but for the Black Cat Team, it was boiling with anger.
Trying to be the mantis stalking the cicada only to fail in gaining the fisherman's advantage, with heavy losses and seven or eight deaths—this blow was no small matter. It left Ma De furious, and the failed attempt to gain an advantage only to incur losses led to a decline in the Black Cat Team's morale and confidence.
If the Black Cat Team had acted before Peng Bird and others, then the map fragment in Xi Guxiu's hands would have belonged to the Black Cat Team. At that time, the scapegoat in Xi Guxiu's plan would have changed.
Sadly, it was just a step too late, allowing Peng Bird to succeed. The setback for the Black Cat Team was a significant wound.
However, no matter what Ma De and Peng Bird do, they are merely played within Xi Guxiu's palm. This fact is a secret unknown to both the Black Cat Team and Peng Bird's group.
