Chapter 1116: Arrogant Confidence

A glint of sharpness flashed in the eyes of the handsome young master. Resting his cheek on one hand, he lowered his gaze with a playful expression.

"How amusing, truly amusing."

"Don't say I didn't give you a chance. Since you're so confident, go ahead and call for reinforcements from your sect. We'll wait here and see who the real frog at the bottom of the well is."

His domineering words echoed, and the Heaven-tier experts around him remained calm and composed.

The Bear father and son were immediately untied.

Though his words were utterly unreasonable, to these people, they seemed perfectly justified, as if the young master's words could never be wrong.

Faced with such a bizarre situation, the father and son were both bewildered.

They had never seen someone so confident, someone who truly didn't take them seriously and showed no fear of the forces backing them!

This confidence was off the charts, even bordering on madness!

For a moment, the father and son couldn't tell if this was real or not. They sat there warily, their eyes filled with caution.

Watching their reaction, the young master's face revealed an even more provocative smile.

"Go ahead and call for reinforcements. I'm looking forward to it."

A light chuckle escaped his lips.

Whether it was the beautiful women by the jade chairs or the Heaven-tier experts standing silently on either side, they all wore faint smiles of disdain, their eyes filled with pity.

This level of confidence was simply insane!

It wasn't just arrogance—it was outright disregard for everything!

The Bear father and son were utterly confused, unable to comprehend why this person had such overwhelming confidence. But when they thought of the powerful figures backing them from Shadow Island, their own confidence never wavered!

If anyone else had encountered these people, they might have been in serious trouble.

Such overwhelming confidence surely came from a background and strength capable of crushing anyone.

Unfortunately.

These people had picked the wrong target to mess with!

A bunch of laughing idiots...

Keep laughing!

In a moment, when a few bricklayers show up, you'll be crying your eyes out!

The father and son, having endured all kinds of humiliation, could no longer suppress their anger!

They each took out their worker badges and jade slips, sending out dozens of distress signals in one go. From their team leader to their fellow worker Old Li, every single person they knew received a message!!!

...

Shadow Island.

The construction site at the urban-rural fringe.

It was just lunchtime, and the workers, big and small, had started eating. Sitting under the trees with their lunchboxes, they felt a strange emptiness, as if the food had no taste.

Looking at the idle cart, murmurs began to rise.

"I wonder how Big Roll and Little Roll are doing?"

"Eh, how could they be? Those two are probably busy collecting demon corpses right now, maybe even fighting over them!"

"Honestly, that's just how they are. They're way too competitive!"

"Pfft, hahaha!"

"Hey, but with those two gone, it feels like something's missing. Even carrying bricks doesn't feel the same!"

"No wonder the food doesn't taste good today. We haven't worked enough!"

"You're such a masochist!"

"Hahaha..."

The workers laughed heartily, but there was a hint of longing in their eyes.

Having lived and worked together for a while, they had grown closer. After just a few days of hard work, their bond was as strong as old friends. The more they teased each other, the closer they felt.

Suddenly.

Someone took out a jade slip and, upon seeing the message, froze!

His chopsticks fell to the ground, but he didn't care, shouting out in alarm!

"Damn!"

"Big Roll's in trouble!"

Almost at the same time, another person checked their jade slip and stood up abruptly!

"Little Roll's been robbed and humiliated!"

One after another, the workers stood up, their voices filled with urgency and anger!

"Big Roll's been detained on Frostwater Star, and his work uniform was stolen! The other side even said they're waiting for us to come!"

"Damn it! How dare they mess with us!"

"This is way too arrogant!"

"No wonder I felt uneasy today. Something big really happened!"

"The father and son must be suffering. Brothers, grab your tools and let's go!"

...

Amid the rising anger, lunchboxes fell to the ground!

Usually, their meals were the most cherished part of their day, but now, no one cared. The furious workers, their faces filled with rage, grabbed their tools and prepared to rush out!

Just then, a stern shout rang out!

"All of you have lost your minds! Are you trying to start a rebellion?!"

The familiar scolding voice made everyone freeze.

Turning around nervously, they saw the team leader walking over with his hands behind his back, fully dressed in his work uniform, his face stern and imposing!

The extraordinary pressure emanating from him made the dozen or so workers freeze in place.

They exchanged glances, not daring to make a sound.

Old Li, one of the workers, couldn't hold back and stepped forward to explain!

"Team Leader!"

"Bear Fen and his son have been captured! We have to go save them! Please understand, it's lunch break right now, we..."

Before he could finish, the team leader's glare silenced him.

With just one look.

The dozen or so workers grew even more fearful. Despite their urgency, they didn't dare make another sound, nervously glancing at each other like ants on a hot pan!

Seeing their expressions, the team leader started cursing!

"You think you're the only ones who know how to save people?!"

"A bunch of laborers, shouting about saving people, without even knowing your own limits! Failing to save them is one thing, but if you tarnish Shadow Island's reputation, do you think you can face anyone after that?!"

Though his words were harsh, the workers gradually looked up in surprise.

They cautiously watched as the team leader put on his hard hat, then calmly pulled on a pair of leather gloves, fastening the last buckle with practiced ease. His entire demeanor was sharp and efficient, exuding an indescribable aura of coolness!

"Listen to my orders!"

"All bricklayers in my team, follow me to Frostwater Star!"

After the shout, the team leader turned sharply and waved his hand forward with unmatched authority!

Watching his figure, the scene fell silent for a moment before everyone's eyes lit up with excitement!

Then, a roar shook the entire construction site!

"Team Leader, you're so cool today!!!"

Amid the excited cheers.

The team leader led the way with a commanding stride, followed by six bricklayers fully dressed in their work uniforms. Dressed identically, they exuded a murderous aura as they marched out of the construction site!
