"I'm still alive and well now..."
Faced with Li San's doubts, Xiaofan replied slowly.
"But that thing can't be forced out with Inner Strength. If you really wait until the poison kicks in, you..."
Has Xiaofan never considered this problem?
However, the antidote for White Scorpion is already scarce, and Bai Xue only obtained it after a great effort as a reward.
This antidote is ant to be a supplent. White Scorpion uses it to control people, never intending for those controlled to detoxify, which is the purpose of the pill Bai Xue previously gave Xiaofan to suppress the poison.
In general, only people of high status in Japan can obtain the antidote for White Scorpion, but once they get it, most of them take it imdiately. If Bai Xue hadn't asked her father to give her his, she wouldn't have had two antidotes.
Originally, the reason Xiaofan showed Bai Xue leniency back then was because of her connection, leading to the antidote that could save Zuimo. No matter what, even if it ant being superficially controlled to work for her, Xiaofan felt indebted to Bai Xue for saving Zuimo.
Although the end result with Bai Xue was less than ideal, the antidote coincidentally dissolved when it t water, Xiaofan couldn't bla Bai Xue.
Both understood each other, even now Xiaofan kidnapped the man destined to beco her husband, didn't she?
Everyone for their own master, in the end... let fate take its course.
"Hahahahahahaha..."
Suddenly, a mocking laugh echoed from the room.
Indeed, this laugh was from Lingze because he heard that Xiaofan was struck by White Scorpion's deadly poison; based on his own understanding of the rarity of White Scorpion's antidote, Black Mantis was practically a corpse.
The door was kicked open by Xiaofan. Sure enough, always thought this guy's laugh was unpleasant.
"Boss... I didn't know he was pretending to be unconscious," Li Sai said apologetically when he saw Xiaofan co in.
Actually, Xiaofan's instructions were to notify when Lingze woke up, but he hadn't expected that Lingze had been pretending the whole ti.
"It's fine." Xiaofan said slowly, casting a sharp glance at Lingze: "What are you laughing at?"
After he woke up, Lingze was initially angry and frustrated over losing a thumb, but upon hearing Xiaofan was poisoned by White Scorpion, his mood instantly lifted.
"Black Mantis, didn't expect that. Although I don't know how you got White Scorpion's antidote to save the nightingale, you're so foolish as to take White Scorpion's deadly poison to trade for the antidote. You're really too stupid, too foolish... Hahahahahahaha."
"So what?" Xiaofan's expression was indifferent, not troubled by Lingze's words. Instead, he felt it was a form of affirmation of himself.
"You're almost dead, how long can you show off?"
"Even if I die, I die for a worthy cause because I used my abilities to save the woman I love. What about you?"
With a single sentence, Xiaofan pulled Lingze back to reality. Indeed, he still had to face the constant threat of death.
"? I don't need to worry right now, do I? You are currently poisoned, so you're even less daring to kill . If I were you, I'd give myself a good al now, serve well, or... if anything happens to , what would you use to trade for the antidote?" Lingze laughed sarcastically, hearing this news was like a shot of adrenaline for him.
"Trade for the antidote? Does that an exchanging your life for Ye Xiaofan's life?" Xiaofan said casually.
"Huh? Unless you don't want to live. Hahahaha..."
"Want to live, how could I not want to?" Xiaofan sneered.
"Then hurry up, I'll call teacher Muto to schedule the exchange ti and place." Lingze said with a smile.
"I know, Muto would certainly be willing to exchange the antidote to get you back, but what about the higher-ups in Japan? Exchanging a Lingze certainly ans gaining a talent, but losing a Black Mantis would be worth more than ten talents, wouldn't it? It's not being conceited. I bet right now there are plenty of people in the Japanese higher-ups who want Black Mantis dead. Do you think they'll be willing to use the life of a re Vice Admiral to trade for a dangerous person's survival?"
What's going on? If Xiaofan says that, does he really not intend to trade for the antidote?
Xiaofan's words clearly stiffened the playful smile on Lingze's face; at this mont, he couldn't laugh anymore.
Indeed, Muto would have no issue exchanging him, but if Japan's higher-ups knew Black Mantis was poisoned by White Scorpion, Muto's chances of getting approval to exchange the antidote would be slim.
"Are you dumb? Why don't you keep it under wraps, not reveal you were poisoned? Just say it was for the nightingale, wouldn't that work?" Lingze surprisingly suggested to Xiaofan at this mont.
"Yeah, I wasn't planning to say anything anyway, just that you overheard." Xiaofan continued.
"You..." At this point, Lingze was beaten, but thinking about it, he still had a chance to survive: "I want to eat. I'm hungry."
"Hmph..." Xiaofan sneered, casually pulling out a dagger and forcefully stabbing it into the table in front of him.
Looking at the chilling dagger, Lingze couldn't help swallowing, thinking about his fingers, a cold feeling rose slowly from his back.
"Want to eat? Sure, tell the whereabouts of HLY007." Xiaofan said casually.
"Joke, do you think I'll be afraid of you? Now we are on equal footing, you want to live, you still need to get the antidote." Lingze said disdainfully.
"I'm willing to trade the antidote, it's not worth it to perish with you, but I must destroy HLY007, besides, I still have nearly two months. If I can find the first antidote during this ti, then I can find the second one, if you don't believe , we can make a bet."
Unpredictable, totally unsure what Black Mantis is thinking?
Lingze stared steadfastly at Xiaofan, he simply couldn't tell if what he said was true or not, Zhu Fan was defeated by suspicion and indecision, will he follow in his footsteps?
"Where did you find the first antidote?" Lingze asked quietly.
"Li San, bring out his right hand." Xiaofan didn't intend to keep talking. This ti, whether you want to or not, you'll have to talk.
