Daily Intelligence System: Don't Kill Me, Honey! Chapter 750 - 208 Cleverly Breaking the Stalemate, Angering

Guild Leader Nan pointed at Chen Jie and revealed his final trump card. He wouldn’t take a single Tai Sui Pill—all would be given to Ba Tan. With such a gesture, what reason would Ba Tan have to not help himself?

He aid to corner Chen Jie, to leave him with no options but a dead end.

The only card Chen Jie could play was to offer all one hundred Tai Sui Pills to Ba Tan, which he had already done. Whose side would Ba Tan take now? It needed no clarification.

As long as Ba Tan remained loyal to him—one vote from himself, one from Ba Tan—it would be enough to send Chen Jiusi to his grave.

Guild Leader Nan looked provocatively at Chen Jie, incredulous that Chen Jie could turn the tables.

At that mont, Ah San said with a grim face from outside, "This is bad, Nan Batian is too wicked. With this move, what can Jiu Si use to win over Ba Tan? Isn’t this forcing Jiu Si down a path to his death?"

Everyone outside was frowning deeply, waiting for Chen Jie to break the ga or et his demise. At this point, aside from the three sche makers, no one could intervene.

Ah Da looked at Zhao Ya’s pale face and asked, "Commandery Princess, are you alright?"

Zhao Ya replied, "I’m fine, just lanting the loss of a great talent."

Hearing her words, Ah Da too sighed, realizing that this ti, Chen Jiusi truly had no chance of turning the situation around.

Right then, the voice of the old Taoist echoed in the air again, "Alright, number three, please begin your speech. After your speech, numbers four and five will each have an opportunity to speak. Afterwards, number three, present your proposal, and we’ll start voting."

Hearing that voice, Guild Leader Nan looked at Chen Jie and said, "You don’t have much ti..."

His voice was cut off instantly. Now only Chen Jie could speak.

Chen Jie looked towards Ba Tan, observing his arrogant deanor, even too lazy to spare Chen Jie another glance.

Chen Jie paused briefly, then said, "Lord Ba Tan, the outco of this ga, my life and death, almost hinge on your single word. If you agree with , I could live; otherwise, I will surely die."

"Hmph!"

Ba Tan shook his head, contempt written all over his face. Why waste words? He could just vote for Chen Jie’s death and be done with it.

But Chen Jie continued, "However, Lord Ba Tan, have you considered what happens to the ga after my death? Will it stop, or will there be another vote between you and Guild Leader Nan?"

Huh?

Upon hearing this, the crowd was initially stunned, then looked at Chen Jie with surprised eyes. What did he an by that? Was he sowing discord?

At this mont, Ba Tan also turned to look at Chen Jie, his eyes filled with confusion.

Chen Jie went on, "According to the rules of the ga, if I die, the ga will continue. That ans it would be your turn to choose the distribution proposal. For voting, both you and Guild Leader Nan must agree. What if Guild Leader Nan casts a dissenting vote? Lord, wouldn’t you also be turned to ash just like ?"

Chen Jie said with a smile, and quickly added, "Of course, Lord Ba Tan and Guild Leader Nan are as close as brothers. Guild Leader Nan might not necessarily cast a dissenting vote."

"Unlike , who is hated by Guild Leader Nan for snatching his wife. He surely wouldn’t let off..."

Huh!!

Hearing this, a shiver ran down Ba Tan’s spine, the hatred of a wife-snatcher.

Ba Tan was arrogant, but not foolish. How could he miss the way Nan Batian looked at Yu Man’er over such a long ti?

He understood perfectly well and even found thrills in behaving indecently with Yu Man’er right in front of Nan Batian. Each ti he saw Nan Batian’s eyes filled with sha, helplessness, and humiliation, he felt a perverted excitent.

He wasn’t short of won, he had no lack of any type of woman. What he craved was that thrill, and recently, he had sought it from Nan Batian.

Since their initial eting, he had noticed Nan Batian’s special feelings for Yu Man’er. On the carriage into the city, and later in the inn, he frequently flaunted his dalliance with Yu Man’er in front of Nan Batian.

Watching the humiliation flicker in Nan Batian’s eyes was exhilarating for him.

But now, he broke out in cold sweat.

His forr superiority, his defiance, his perverse pleasures—they all turned into his death knell.

He looked over at Nan Batian. Though Nan Batian was muted, he could still hear Chen Jie’s words. He was desperately gesturing, shaking his head, and calling out, "Don’t listen to him, I won’t."

But his voice got absorbed by the light shield around him. Ba Tan couldn’t hear.

Even if he could hear, what would it change? For at that mont, Ba Tan’s eyes were full of fear and suspicion.

He had just put himself in Nan Batian’s shoes, thinking if soone played with his loved one before him while he couldn’t lash out, he would definitely want the perpetrator dead.

Previously, he had no chance, but now, he had the opportunity!

And he rembered the words he had recently said to Chen Jie, "Whatever I, Nan Batian, have lost, I will take back twofold. I want you dead without a place to bury!"

Shivering, Ba Tan trembled, his face no longer showing his forr arrogance, but deep wariness and suspicion.

He turned to look at Chen Jie, who, with a smile, said, "To be honest, I do prefer the defiant look you had earlier..."

Ba Tan didn’t respond to Chen Jie but furrowed his brows.

Chen Jie then said, "I’ve finished speaking. Please, number four, it’s your turn."

Chen Jie indicated he had finished speaking, and now it was Ba Tan’s turn, but Ba Tan remained silent.

"Does number four wish to speak? Hmm... don’t want to talk? Then let’s have number five speak."

It was finally number five’s turn—Nan Batian at last could speak, "Lord Garrison Commander, Lord Governor, you mustn’t believe his nonsense. I share a heart with you, Lord. How could I ever harm you? You must believe . Let’s vote him dead together. And then, the remaining Tai Sui Pills, I don’t want any; they’re all yours. I don’t need anything; I just want him dead!"
