He certainly did not want any unexpected complications.
However, eventually, people noticed the situation.
The Parrot Island Pier was already under martial law; all commoners had been driven away, so the notable figures of all three Wuchang cities were observing the battle on the docks of Wuchang City.
"Hey, what's going on today?"
The leader of the Mule and Horse gang turned his head towards Shi Chen and said teasingly, "Shi Paitou, didn't you swear to capture the Kui Head? Why have you fallen so far behind?"
Shi Chen's heart trembled, but his face remained expressionless as he cursed, "Some people got stomachaches. It must have been one of you who sabotaged us, fearing that I would capture the river Kui Head."
He was old and cunning and quite adept at changing the subject.
Indeed, someone immediately expressed dissatisfaction, "Shi Paitou, you need to be careful with your words. The title of the river head is not something to accuse us of underhandedness for."
