Lingze's actions left everyone present stunned.
Xiaofan also knew that Lingze was a troubleso guy, but he didn't expect that he would present such a big problem at the last mont.
Disobeying orders on the spot, really, it's a wonder he dared to do it.
Tightening the dagger in his hand, a thin line of blood appeared on Fujita's neck.
Feeling the imnse threat to his life again, Fujita, frightened, imdiately said to Lingze, "Baka yarou, give him the antidote right now, give it to him... how dare you defy my orders."
"Mr. Fujita, as a soldier, you must always be prepared to sacrifice for the country. Now he is still within our base. Once he takes the antidote and uses you as leverage to successfully escape the base, it will be impossible for us to regain the initiative unless we get HLY007 first. Otherwise, we absolutely cannot trust him," Lingze insisted.
"Baka, do you intend to rebel?" Fujita was so angry he almost wanted to kill Lingze on the spot.
He also knew that this young man had ambitions, but he didn't expect him to reveal it so clearly in such a situation.
"Ikeshita, you guys, take down Lingze for ..." Fujita suddenly ordered.
"Wait..." Lingze again prevented aloud, "In the face of major issues, one should ntally prepare to sacrifice for the country. General, if you do this, it will ruin everything."
Lingze's repeated references to major issues and for the country left the experts present at a loss.
Xiaofan coldly watched Lingze; his appearance indeed posed a great obstacle, and the advantage he had just gained was balanced out by Lingze again.
Yes, he determined that he dared not easily kill Fujita because Fujita was the bargaining chip in his hand. If he killed him, the only bargaining chip left would be the information about HLY007. However, without Fujita's life in his hand, they wouldn't even give him a chance to negotiate.
No ti left. At least confirm whether the antidote in Lingze's hand is real before making a plan.
"What do you want to do?" Xiaofan slowly asked.
"Give the data, and you'll get the antidote. Then you'll let General Fujita escort you out of the base imdiately, but you must promise not to harm our general any further..."
"How do I know your antidote is real..."
"And how do I know if the data is on you? General Fujita, I'm doing this all for your safety. Think about it; once I give him the antidote, and he leaves with you, once you're out of the base, we can't save you..."
With swords drawn and poised for battle, neither side would give an inch...
Hearing Lingze say this, Fujita seed to calm down a bit, as if Lingze made so sense.
Actually, Fujita was a fool; how was this different from before? Just an extra condition for Xiaofan to hand over the data. Lingze was bold enough to pull such tricks in this situation.
"The data is in my hand..." Xiaofan found the precious mory card from the folds of his clothes: "Look closely, the mark on it is the unique 'R' of Red Butterfly from the past. I couldn't possibly forge it."
Lingze, Uncle Zhong, and even the controlled Fujita all fixed their eyes on the mory card in Xiaofan's hand. Fujita, being the closest, indeed saw the 'R' mark.
"Yes, that's it..." Fujita blurted out.
"Very well, I'll count one, two, three, and we'll throw to each other at the sa ti."
"No, I can't be sure that your antidote is what I want." Xiaofan wasn't an idiot; why would he believe it just because a bottle was shown as the antidote?
"Then what do you want?"
"Anyway, I'm already surrounded by you. I'm afraid it won't take three minutes before I'm completely surrounded. I can't break through. You might as well give the antidote first. Once I confirm it's real, I'll let Mr. Fujita swallow the mory card. Then I'll take him out, and I'll release him once I'm safe."
Swallowing it? It's quite a thought, but can things really go so smoothly?
Lingze thought it over and over, tightly holding the small bottle, still undecided...
"Last ten seconds to consider... After a ten-second countdown, the deal is off, and I'll have to act tough. Ten..."
"I have the antidote to save the nightingale. We're equal..."
"Nine..." Xiaofan continued counting down...
"Lingze... give it to him, hurry up..." Fujita's body began to tremble. He knew that the guy behind him wasn't joking. If the deal broke down, he'd be the first to die.
"Eight..."
"Ye Xiaofan, you can't kill Fujita. You don't dare to, do you..."
"Lingze... baka..."
"Seven..."
"You're just bluffing. If you kill General Fujita, you'll lose the whole ga, everything..."
'Whoosh...'
"Ah, ah, ah..."
An ear was swiftly cut off by Xiaofan, and the blade imdiately returned to Fujita's throat.
Blood quickly flowed down Fujita's cheek, accompanied by his terrified cries, echoing through the entire base.
"Six... Don't think I'm joking. I'm not playing around. Five..."
"Lingze, Lingze, I order you to give him the antidote imdiately, give it to him... or I want you dead..." Fujita shouted at Lingze like a madman.
"Four..."
Xiaofan's countdown continued...
Lingze glanced at Uncle Zhong, who returned a helpless look.
"Three..."
"Stop, I'll give it to you..." Lingze had no choice but to throw the antidote towards Xiaofan.
Catching it with one hand, Xiaofan bit open the bottle cap and poured out two pills with one hand. Seeing the deep red on them, Xiaofan's heart instantly sank halfway.
Fake, it's fake. This bastard Lingze dared to give a fake antidote at such a critical mont.
"How about it? The data..." Lingze asked, staring intently at the mory card between Xiaofan's fingers. He didn't realize Xiaofan knew so characteristics of the White Scorpion antidote, so he thought his performance just now could deceive Xiaofan.
"Why are you in such a hurry..." Xiaofan coldly replied, taking out a pill and poking Fujita's acupoints. Fujita imdiately opened his mouth, and Xiaofan placed the pill directly into it.
If it were poison, it would be Fujita who'd die, and Xiaofan also knew that if he didn't hand over the mory card, the other side would never let him leave safely with Fujita. Without the antidote, Fujita's life wouldn't matter much in the end.
