Although the drone that flew to Lin Tang was destroyed, the live broadcast wasn't interrupted. The feed went dark for only a mont before the picture returned. Countless viewers widened their eyes, staring at the manor that had been bombed into ruins.
The aide-de-camp ordered a small squad to investigate the situation while most of the troops remained on standby.
"No way. They just carpet-bombed the place. Lin Tang and those poor beauties must be dead. Is there really a need to be so careful?"
"It's a live broadcast, after all. They have to ensure everything is foolproof."
"That's true. Imagine the embarrassnt if they weren't dead and staged a counterattack."
"How is that possible? Do you think Lin Tang and his people are immortals? How could they have survived that?"
"I'm calling it now. If there's even one survivor, I'll wash my hair while doing a handstand!"
The audience was abuzz with discussion, their eyes glued to the screen.
As it happened, the leader of the small investigative squad was none other than Wang Shouben. His brother, Wang Shouzhen, was in the middle of toasting Lin Tang's demise. Seeing his brother on screen, he felt a shared sense of pride and boasted to his cronies, "Look, look, that's my brother! Ah, Lin Tang, you should feel honored that my brother is the one collecting your corpse… Huh? What's going on?"
He widened his eyes, and the other viewers were just as surprised. There wasn't a single body to be found in the manor.
"Did they just vaporize?"
"Look! There's a big hole over there!"
"Whoa, they actually dug a deep tunnel beforehand. They had so serious foresight."
"Hmph. Would a normal person dig a tunnel under their house? It just shows these people always had sothing to hide. Who knows what shady business they were into."
"So, you're saying they're not dead? They actually escaped?"
"Who was it that said they'd wash their hair in a handstand?"
"..."
When the aide-de-camp received the report from Wang Shouben's team, his expression turned grim. He imdiately ordered them to pull back to avoid being poisoned. As the comnts in the live chat said, this was a live broadcast. A single casualty on their side would be a disgrace, ridiculed by countless people.
Thank God I didn't go myself, or I might have been captured again…
If he were captured again under the watchful eyes of so many viewers, he would rather bite his tongue and kill himself.
Wang Shouben was also panicked and hastily led the retreat. Just as they were about to rejoin the main force, the aide-de-camp shouted, "Stop right there! Don't move! Get checked and disinfected first!"
He suspected they might have already been poisoned and that it could be contagious.
"Uh—"
The audience was once again astonished. They were so powerful, yet so overly cautious. How badly had Lin Tang beaten them to make them so jumpy?
「At the sa ti」
Zhu Yingning and the others erged onto the surface from another exit. Gazing into the distance, she asked, "This is your backup plan? Poisoning them? But they didn't fall for it. How are you going to make them kneel to you?"
"Oh, I used poison, but not on them," Lin Tang chuckled and dialed the aide-de-camp's number.
Seeing the call, the aide-de-camp scanned the area, trying to spot Lin Tang. With a dark expression, he answered, "Lin Tang, get out here!"
Lin Tang's voice was lazy. "You people really never learn. I'll give you one last chance. Drop your weapons and kowtow to a thousand tis. If you do, I might consider letting you go."
His voice wasn't loud over the phone, but the reporter standing beside the aide-de-camp had forgotten to turn off his microphone, so the entire audience heard it. They were baffled. What gave Lin Tang the audacity to speak like that?
The aide-de-camp's eyelid twitched. He glanced at Wang Shouben's team and saw no signs of poisoning. He sneered, "What alarmist nonsense! You won't co out, will you? I have plenty of ammunition to blast you out of your hiding hole! n, continue the—"
Lin Tang cut him off. "Have you noticed that ever since I poisoned and then cured you, Xiao Xuanye and Guo Jufeng haven't taken a single shit?"
The aide-de-camp: ?
The reporter: ??
The entire audience: ???
What was happening? Why did the topic suddenly turn to taking a shit? This was a live broadcast! Could he be serious?!
"Could it be…" The aide-de-camp's face changed dramatically. "Damn it, when you gave us the antidote, did you pull so other trick? Lin Tang, you're despicable!"
He imdiately ordered his n to halt the bombardnt, then used another phone to contact Xiao Xuanye.
Xiao Xuanye's cheek twitched as he said irritably, "I'm perfectly fine! I'm not poisoned. Don't listen to his nonsense; he's lying to buy ti! Finish him off now!"
"Haha—" Lin Tang laughed heartily. "Xiao Xuanye, if you don't want to die from being fatally constipated, go on and act tough. Why don't you go to the bathroom right now and see if you can squeeze one out?"
Zhu Yingning, Lee Encai, and the other won were left speechless with exasperation. The audience was struck silent.
"Utterly vulgar!" Xiao Xuanye felt secondhand embarrassnt from Lin Tang's crudeness.
Guo Jufeng, however, was less concerned. He paid no mind to the live broadcast and bellowed, "It's just taking a crap, right? I'll go right now!"
For a Grandmaster-level expert, controlling one's own peristalsis was a trivial matter. People like them could go whenever they pleased—unless, of course, the tank was empty.
「On the other side」
Overwheld with grief, Shen Youling had been about to faint, but Wei Zichu shook her vigorously. "Wake up! Don't faint! Lin Tang isn't dead!"
"Huh?" Shen Youling looked back at the screen and heard Lin Tang's familiar voice, her spirits instantly lifting. A mont later… "What is he doing?!"
"Pfft, hahaha, Lin Tang is hilarious!" Wei Zichu clutched his stomach, laughing.
Ning Yuexi was disgusted at first, then beca pensive.
「In the restroom」
"This is bad!"
The mont Guo Jufeng squatted, he tried to force a bowel movent. In the stall next door, Xiao Xuanye also looked helpless, but unable to resist Guo Jufeng's urging, he tried as well. Then, their expressions simultaneously changed drastically.
PFFT!
Uncontrollable!
They were spraying blood! Not from their mouths… but from below.
"Lin Tang, I'll fuck your ancestors!"
THUD!
THUD!
Both n collapsed forward, bleeding profusely from behind. Their faces were ashen as they fell unconscious. A foul, bloody stench filled the air, shocking the subordinates guarding the door.
"Boss Xiao? Boss Guo?"
"Sirs, we're coming in!"
"Ahhh! What happened?"
The subordinates panicked. They clumsily carried the two n out and tried to stop the bleeding, but nothing worked.
"Quick, call a doctor!"
「Outside the manor」
The aide-de-camp frowned, shaking his head. All these people on a live broadcast, waiting for Boss Xiao to use the restroom… This is completely absurd! Lin Tang, that bastard, must be doing this on purpose just to sar Boss Xiao…
His phone rang, and he answered it quickly.
"It's bad! Boss Xiao and Boss Guo are bleeding profusely from their rears! They've gone into shock…"
BOOM!
The words struck the aide-de-camp like a teorite to the head. He stood there, stunned, his mind buzzing. The others looked as if they had been struck by lightning. The reporter was in such shock that he completely forgot to cut the feed.
And so, countless viewers were left utterly dumbfounded.
"Holy shit, holy shit, holy shit!"
"Lin Tang is terrifying!"
"He actually turned the tables in such a hopeless situation!"
"What kind of twisted poisons does he command?"
"I feel so sorry for Boss Xiao and Boss Guo for ever crossing him!"
"They're going to be the laughingstock of the entire world…"
Finally, the aide-de-camp snapped back to reality. His eyes red with rage, he scread hysterically, "Lin Tang, it's you or ! Bomb him! Bomb everything! Level every inch within a few kiloters until there's nothing left! Aaaah! Kill him!"
His subordinates didn't move. One of them spoke up, steeling himself. "Sir, calm down. The most important thing right now is the safety of Boss Xiao and Boss Guo…"
If other doctors could cure their strange ailnt, they could resu the attack on Lin Tang. But what if Lin Tang was the only one with the antidote?
"Then stop the live broadcast, you useless fools! Are you trying to kill with anger?" the aide-de-camp shrieked at the reporters.
Just as a reporter moved to cut the feed, Lin Tang's voice was heard again.
"So, you're still live? Good. You have three minutes. While the broadcast continues, you will all kneel and kowtow to . If you refuse, you can prepare to collect the bodies of Xiao Xuanye and Guo Jufeng."
"Lin! Tang!" The aide-de-camp gritted his teeth, his voice dripping with venomous rage. "You've gone too far!"
"So what if I have? You have two minutes and fifty seconds left," Lin Tang mocked.
"What do I do? What do I do? What do I do?" The aide-de-camp's mind was in turmoil as he fell into a deathly silence. The audience stared, waiting to see his decision.
Ti ticked by. With less than thirty seconds remaining, the aide-de-camp was trembling, his lips dry and cracked. He suddenly looked up at Lin Tang, who had brazenly revealed himself.
If looks could kill, Lin Tang would have been riddled with holes by now. I never should have started this live broadcast. Kneeling wouldn't matter if no one knew. But in front of countless people… this one act of kneeling… and we'd never be able to 'stand' tall again!
"Even if we all kneel and kowtow to you, what's to stop you from refusing to cure Boss Xiao and Boss Guo afterward?" the aide-de-camp asked hoarsely.
Lin Tang shrugged. "You have no choice. You have to take the gamble."
"All units, on my command!" The aide-de-camp first stood ramrod straight, filled with tragic resolve, then was the first to drop heavily to his knees. "Kneel with !"
However reluctantly, his subordinates had to follow suit. All of them knelt. They had no choice. The lives of their leaders, the gods in their hearts, Boss Xiao and Boss Guo, were in Lin Tang's hands. To save them, they had to kneel.
The viewers watching the live broadcast were once again deeply shocked by the scene. A thousand elite soldiers with heavy artillery had surrounded a single man. Not only had they failed, but they were now kneeling in humiliation, their backbones figuratively snapped.
This Lin Tang—
What majestic, wild arrogance!
What absolute, unmatched dominance!
Zhu Yingning watched, speechless.
It's over. I'm really going to be his maid for life.
