"I was wrong."

Ma Bangde could only say that, for he hadn't yet completely grasped the situation at hand.

"You were very wrong."

Zhang Muzhi seemed helpless; his stance was different from that of opportunistic fellows like Ma Bangde, which would never change.

The smile on Huang's face resembled that of a sly tiger as he said to Ma Bangde, "We follow the county head's orders, split it fifty-fifty."

The implication was clear, no matter how they split it now, he wouldn't make good on his promise when the time came.

Therefore, it was all pointless.

Still, he gave a final warning, "Since you want to exterminate the bandits, why should I believe you can do it?"

Both of them knew that the so-called "Zhang Mazai" was Huang's own squad.

Which meant, to exterminate the bandits was to take down Huang!

The underlying meaning of Huang's words was a challenge to Zhang Muzhi: did he have the strength to confront him?

If not, better to meekly admit defeat.
