Cai Zhichao turned to look at the few people, feeling very upset. He was well aware of the nature of his subordinates. Usually, as long as they were within the Alliance, no one dared to report them for their dirty deeds, but failing to restrain themselves on someone else’s turf was too much!
But since these were his people, he had to defend them somehow, so with an apologetic smile, he said, "King Yama, about this... do you have any evidence?"
"Of course, there’s evidence, but what I mean is for them to take the things out themselves and apologize to this young lady, and we can let this matter slide. However, they don’t seem to want to do that, so maybe you should try to persuade them again."
Zhang Su spoke politely, but he was already scheming in his mind because he could see clearly that those guys had no intention of admitting it, just in time to send a signal to everyone!
"Did you take anything or not? If you did, admit it quickly, otherwise, once exposed, there will be consequences!"
Cai Zhichao sternly rebuked them. If possible, he really didn’t want to deal with this mess. Unfortunately, whether the Survivor Alliance was merged under the jurisdiction of Celestial Horse Island or not, as long as no personnel appointments had been made, he remained the captain of the Vanguard Corps Team Two...
"No, Captain Cai, we really didn’t."
"I just ate a piece of meat, who knew it would cause such a fuss? Maybe I should just spit it out..."
The few still vehemently denied, and the one who ate the meat even put on a pitiful act, causing Mo Qianlan to bite her teeth in anger.
"Dachao, Zhang... King Yama definitely won’t wrong good people. Your subordinates here definitely have issues, I advise you to investigate thoroughly and deal with it sternly!"
Zhang Xin stood by, observing. Did he not know who Zhang Su was?
If he dares to bring people over to seek justice, he must have solid evidence. Being this polite is already a huge favor, probably considering the number of people around today. If you refuse to acknowledge it, things will turn ugly!
Due to the internal rules of the Survivor Alliance, the members of Team Two didn’t dare to show a harsh face to Zhang Xin and just stood there constantly expressing their grievances.
"Dakun, help them recall a bit."
Zhang Su was tired of wasting time, and he could already smell the aroma of stewed meat, eager to finish dealing with the situation so they could start eating.
"Hey, daring to steal in front of Master Kun, you guys are dead meat!"
Pang Dakun rolled his eyes and saw Su Xiaoya watching from a stone platform in the distance. He sniffed arrogantly and strode forward, not caring if Su Xiaoya was watching him.
"What are you doing, you..."
The thin man fidgeted as Pang Dakun walked up to him.
Pang Dakun spread his fingers wide towards everyone, like a magician proving his innocence before a trick, saying, "Everyone, look closely. I have nothing in my hands, nothing up my sleeves. Now, watch closely..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Pang Dakun reached into the thin man’s arms.
The thin man had no idea what the other intended to do, his eyes following the movement of the hand. Suddenly, his vision blurred, and he reflexively covered up, only to feel the weight lessen where he was hiding something. It was only then that he realized the zipper of his down jacket had burst open.
"Here, everyone take a look!"
Pang Dakun held up a bottle of Lao Gan Ma Spicy Chicken.
With unforeseen movements and skillful precision, the thin man broke out in a cold sweat instantly. He’d hidden the Lao Gan Ma at his ribs, where it was invisible from the outside, yet the other party easily fished it out?
In a flurry, the remaining three quickly handed over what they had stolen. No, no, they couldn’t hold out. This guy just directly reached in to pull out evidence. This wasn’t the legal society of the past, resisting was a bad idea.
Cai Zhichao, seeing those items, felt a wave of dizziness: chili paste, luncheon meat, canned fish, chive flowers, fermented tofu...
They were all things of little value. These weren’t exactly scarce items in the Survivor Alliance; combat personnel essentially had their fill. It’s not to say scarce resources should be stolen, but were these items really worth taking such risks for?
Wow...
The crowd erupted into a commotion, the dozens of onlookers looked on with peculiar expressions. Members of the Survivor Alliance were particularly embarrassed, with some even choosing to leave. What the hell was this, losing face, losing face big time!
Zhang Su spread his hands toward Cai Zhichao, gesturing towards the stolen goods in the thieves’ hands, and said blandly, "How does the Survivor Alliance handle such situations when caught?"
Cai Zhichao looked troubledly at his nervous subordinates, licked his lips, and said, "For theft in the camp, hand cutting!"
"Oh..." Zhang Su nodded, raised a hand, and said, "I think that’s fair, come on, Captain Cai, please personally carry it out."
"No, no, Captain Cai. No, no, King Yama, spare me this once."
"I just had itchy hands, really didn’t mean to target Celestial Horse Island."
"I won’t dare anymore, I won’t dare in the future."
The four panicked immediately upon hearing that hand cutting would be enforced, swearing left and right.
Certainly, the Survivor Alliance had rules, but they didn’t have much binding force on Vanguard Corps’ combat personnel, especially when facing ordinary members. They didn’t take the rules seriously at all, so they didn’t see any problem.
In such a chaotic environment, catching thieves was very difficult, especially when it involved class issues, making it even more challenging.
Cai Zhichao felt troubled, casting a pleading glance at Zhang Xin, as he had already noticed the unusual relationship between the captain of Team Three and King Yama.
Zhang Xin couldn’t be bothered with these trifles, his eyes never meeting Cai Zhichao’s and his expression remained serious as he stared at the pleading few.
