Qi Suian and Bruce had struck a deal and entered into a temporary partnership.
But both of them had their own ulterior motives. Qi Suian, for his part, was thinking, 'I'll just rip his bones out and toss them into the Melting Furnace for fuel.'
As for what Bruce was plotting, Qi Suian had no idea, but he knew the man was scheming something.
However, with their deal sealed, the Steel Brotherhood entered a new phase.
They had always been suppressed by the Pure-blood Sanctuary, but now they had launched a major counterattack.
The situation was still far from optimistic. They were never a match for their enemy to begin with. Did they really think switching from a defensive to an offensive strategy would suddenly make them an even match? There was no logic in that.
It had to be said, Bruce was quite skilled when it came to controlling the Steel Brotherhood.
As a former lord, he had a few tricks up his sleeve.
