Reaching this point, Bai Xue began to regret.
This guy, if he died, he died. Why did he have to show up at this ti, and know so much about my affairs?
"Don't be afraid, since I haven't exposed your affairs, of course, I have sothing to ask of you." Lingze once again saw through Bai Xue's thoughts, smiling eerily.
"Nonsense..."
"Yes, it really does sound ssy, every single thing so incredible. But if you piece the whole event together, it's not nonsense at all. You beco a counselor, and he gets the antidote to revive Shen Zuimo. For cooperation like this, if it were , I wouldn't refuse either."
"Humph... Evidence?"
"You're indeed remarkable, the skills of Black Mantis are extraordinary, leaving not a single trace, and indeed, I don't have any evidence. But even if I lack evidence, as long as I repeat what I said to you to soone, or several people, what do you think will happen to your position as a counselor... oh no, what will happen to the status of your entire family?"
"How dare you... I will make sure you don't leave this place today."
"Get over it. Put away your worthless minions. I'm in a good mood today, I don't feel like killing anyone."
"What exactly do you want?"
Indeed, Lingze had hit Bai Xue's sore spot. If what he said were to go public, it wouldn't just be her identity that's compromised, but everything about the family would be in danger.
"Didn't I say it already? I'm here today with two purposes. Rest assured, neither of those purposes is to bring down your family. After all, we are friends, not enemies." Lingze spoke with a smirk.
"Friends? I've never t such a despicable friend. You're shaless." Bai Xue retorted fearlessly.
"Hey, isn't that why I'm in trouble and seeking help from a friend? Like I said earlier, give two billion, I really need money right now."
"Are you trying to blackmail with this?" Bai Xue asked coldly.
"Oh right, what I an is, if you don't give the money, I'll spill the beans. Clear enough?"
Crystal clear, it was as straightforward as when they first t, without any beating around the bush.
"Then how can you guarantee you'll never spill this matter?" Bai Xue asked concerned.
"I'm not a fool. I've just taken over the managent of the base, and what I need now is a large amount of funds and support from various sides. To , having one more friend is way better than creating one more enemy. Besides, we almost beca husband and wife. Even if it can't happen now, there's no need for any hostility between us, right?"
"Why should I believe you?"
"This..."
Upon hearing this, Lingze laughed even more. He stood up and waved at Bai Xue: "I really don't know what to say to make you believe . But is it okay for you to not believe now?"
The threat, blatant threat, was quite clear already; if Bai Xue didn't agree, the matter would surely be exposed.
Dead n don't talk, but Bai Xue wasn't confident. Yes, even though Lingze was standing right in her ho, even though there were plenty of experts in her ho, she still wasn't confident she could kill him on the spot.
"What is your second purpose?" Bai Xue asked reluctantly with a heavy sigh.
"Hahahahaha..." Lingze laughed out loud at Bai Xue's question because the first purpose had already been achieved. "The second purpose is, I want to know, since one antidote was given to the nightingale, was another one given to the Black Mantis?"
"Hmm?" Hearing this question, Bai Xue's pupils instantly dilated.
Terrifying, she never thought Lingze could be so frightening. For him to ask such a question, he must be well aware of this matter too.
"No need to be so surprised, Black Mantis also got poisoned by White Scorpion, he told himself. Of course, White Scorpion's poison must be ingested orally and digested in the stomach to invade the human body, so with his capabilities, no one could force him to eat the poison. So I guess, it was you who made him eat the White Scorpion's poison..."
Straightforward logic, without a single mistake.
Facing Bai Xue's surprised expression, Lingze continued.
"As I said, I understand your character. For the sake of benefits, you are capable of doing many things. Becoming a counselor is not your ultimate goal. After all, you have the bloodline of the Celestial Emperor, only greater power befits such a noble lineage. But if Black Mantis got the antidote from you, it ans your partnership is over, and you are unwilling to let go, wanting him to do more for you. Speaking of which, I must say you're quite remarkable. Your tactics are high-level, knowing that Black Mantis, in many instances, can rival an army. His assistance is invaluable. So I boldly assu, you got the antidote but didn't give it to him imdiately. At that crucial mont, you just had to tell him to eat the White Scorpion, promising him the antidote right away. For everything Black Mantis did in Japan, it was all for the nightingale, so he wouldn't hesitate at all, and would imdiately swallow the White Scorpion in front of you..."
His assumptions proved to be spot-on. No wonder the captain suffered so many losses at his hands.
"Oh, by the way, I believe I saw him once at your house, right? That peculiar-looking bodyguard. He could disguise himself. So many of us were searching for him, yet he was moving right under our noses... That's why he was so familiar with our wedding day, after all. I ended up like this today, partly because of your fault." As he spoke, Lingze's eyes flashed a hint of coldness at Bai Xue.
"What exactly are you trying to say?" At this mont, Bai Xue no longer had her queen-like arrogance. She knew that when facing Lingze, whether it was intellect or personal strength, she was no match for him.
"I've already said, my second purpose is to know whether you gave the second antidote to Black Mantis. Only then can I ascertain whether he is dead or alive..." At the last few words, Lingze pronounced firmly, showing the extent of hate he harbored for that person.
