The battles had temporarily come to a halt. These men, who had been through the baptism of blood and fire, each found a moment of free time to smoke incessantly, Shi Qinghua included. It seemed that only by doing so could they calm themselves.
Monk smacked his lips and exhaled a long plume of white smoke, the first to speak up: "Boss, we've killed so many of the Skull Society's people; we're definitely sworn enemies now. We're left with fewer than thirty men, and our ammunition has dwindled a lot, too. It's impossible to know the whereabouts of the Diamond in the short term, and even if we did, with our current strength, I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to steal it back."
Monk's opinion was representative. Abu also said, "I agree with Monk. We should head back to headquarters to regroup and then continue the operation after we have a clear understanding of the Diamond's location."
Wolf typically didn't voice his opinions. Whatever they decided, he would just go along with it.
