"That island has already exploded. Isn't he already dead beyond recognition?"
It's an obvious conclusion, so why are so many people unwilling to believe it?
Li San and Shen Zuimo and others, maybe even Bai Xue hopes he's still alive, or even his enemies don't believe he would die so easily.
"Aren't you secretly investigating his whereabouts too? I don't need to tell you about his capabilities. There are too many factors about him that can't be judged with normal perceptions."
"No..."
"No?"
"He didn't get the antidote, are you satisfied now?"
"What exactly happened? What about the antidote?"
The wind is calm today, but people's hearts couldn't settle.
"That's right, all your previous speculations were correct. The nightingale's antidote was indeed sent out by . I also made him take the White Scorpion. I thought I could use his life as leverage to control him to stay by my side and help . Until Leng Yue ca to my room to steal the antidote. At that ti, the antidote accidentally dropped into the pool below and dissolved."
Standing by the window, looking at the pool below Bai Xue's building, recalling the scene of that night's battle with Leng Yue in his mind.
If he had co a bit earlier at that ti, maybe he could have successfully taken the antidote. Or maybe, if I hadn't pushed Leng Yue so hard, the antidote wouldn't have dissolved, at least now he would still have a chance to survive.
"Is everything you said true?"
"At this point, do I still have a reason to deceive you?"
"Hahaha, who would have thought that the Black Mantis would finally fall by your hands? It's truly ironic."
Lingze said this, and he wasn't wrong. If it weren't for my selfish desire to control him back then, perhaps he wouldn't have been forced into a final confrontation in such circumstances.
Regret is useless now, things have beco irreversible, and there's no turning back for anything.
And Lingze confird that Xiaofan was indeed poisoned by the deadly toxin from the White Scorpion and then disappeared, which increases the likelihood of his death.
With the situation developing to this point, his survival chances are nearly zero.
But Lingze still hasn't concluded that the Black Mantis is dead. Every step he takes in the future must be calculated against such a formidable enemy, after all, there can be no room for error on the road ahead.
"Within a week, two hundred billion yen must be transferred. How about it?"
"What do you want to do with so much money?" Bai Xue asked aloud.
"Of course, to start over. Don't worry, I won't take this money from you for nothing. Consider it a favor I owe you, Lingze. Once I establish myself, I'll help your family at the right ti."
re empty promises?
Currently, the base led by Lingze is teetering on the edge of disbandnt, and with such a base, he still wants to help Bai Xue's family. It sounds truly ridiculous.
However, Bai Xue didn't doubt he had such abilities. This person is not only terrifyingly intelligent but also extrely cunning. If you get caught in his sches, there's no way to escape.
"Within a week, I can only arrange a hundred billion, the issue on the books can't be done that quickly, lest my father becos suspicious. I'll have all the money transferred to you in half a month."
"Very good, I'll leave now. Sorry for the disturbance today..."
With things settled, Lingze naturally had no intention of lingering for chatter. He stood up and headed for the door.
"Lingze..."
At this mont, Bai Xue suddenly stopped him.
"What's the matter?"
"You won't speak about this, will you?"
"Since we've already reached a cooperation, why would I ruin it? But, you better be wise about it..."
With a mocking smile, Lingze walked downstairs.
Honestly, this woman, though smarter than most, is not unbeatable. With the Black Mantis's abilities, there are at least ten ways to deal with her, but in the end, he's still willing to be led by her.
This is what's called emotion. Those who are shackled by emotion usually don't have a good outco.
What Lingze needs to do is understand emotion, not need it. Moreover, in the life that follows, he no longer needs any kind of emotion, be it familial or romantic.
The ultimate dream has already shattered, and in this lifeti, he can no longer pursue the dream he always wanted to fulfill.
6:30 PM...
"Miss..."
"Hmm?"
She was woken up from her sleep. Lingze's appearance today had left Bai Xue restless all day. After all, having secrets under soone else's control is an inescapable bondage.
"Did you find out?"
"Yes, we did. The reason Lingze survived that fire and explosion was because he had already rushed out of the flas at that ti, suffered serious injuries, and was subsequently rescued. The reason for the secrecy about his survival is to avoid revenge. And his survival was due to injecting Mutant gene serum into his body, so..."
"What, Mutant gene serum?"
"Yes, that's right."
"So, this ans that the gene serum in his body was successful?" Bai Xue was amazed by this news.
She had already heard of the existence of Mutants in XG, and she knew about the collaboration between Japan and M Country, but she didn't expect the first successful case would happen with him.
"Hello, get so information about the Mutants imdiately."
Imdiately, Bai Xue contacted her inside informant within the Special High Class.
In less than half an hour, an anonymous email arrived on Bai Xue's computer.
She opened the email, and after scrolling through a heap of information, Bai Xue suddenly stopped the scrolling mouse.
Her large eyes were fixed on the screen.
Muscle enhancent, generally capable of withstanding the force of a sniper bullet penetrating vital organs. Increased speed, increased strength, though there's no stable data on how much; this seems to vary from person to person.
How could there be existences beyond normal humans, and what about side effects?
With this in mind, Bai Xue continued to scroll down, her refined face intently focused on the computer...
Found it. After seeing this content, Bai Xue was once again startled.
"Side effects following successful evolution into a Mutant: One, permanent loss of fertility. Two, after successful physical mutation of eight to fifteen years, the body functions of a Mutant will accelerate aging. Generally, once aging begins, a Mutant will die within three years."
With gain, there must be loss. To transform a person's body to such a fearso degree in such a short ti, one must pay a certain price. Bai Xue now understood why Lingze proposed a breakup. His pride is strong enough to this extent.
