"Give a cigarette." Lu Xiaobu gestured to the Russian big guy, signaling him.
The Russian big guy didn’t even look at Lu Xiaobu, completely ignoring him!
They didn’t have ti to say much.
Their goal was clear: if they could get the whereabouts of the target from Lu Xiaobu, they would ask.
If not, they would wait.
Once the leader returned, they would retreat; if the leader didn’t return, they would leave with Lu Xiaobu!
They were rcenaries; they didn’t need to think too much, just follow the plan!
After all, they had witnessed in recent days just how persuasive Lu Xiaobu could be, making a group, although motley in nature, turn upon itself just through his words!
This ability, in a sense, was more terrifying than actual combat power!
So, it was best not to talk too much with Lu Xiaobu.
"Really not going to give it to ? If you give it to , I might rember where I hid the person! But if you don’t give it to , I really won’t rember!" Lu Xiaobu said indifferently.
This man would definitely fall for it; he had been told before—this was a smart person, not a fool!
He was not talking to him now because reason was controlling him, not because he really didn’t want to talk.
"Think about it, it’s just a cigarette, I couldn’t possibly cause a catastrophe with it, could I?!" Lu Xiaobu continued, "Although it’s unlikely I’d tell you anything just for a cigarette, what you need to understand is, it’s absolutely impossible for you to take away from the Heavenly Dynasty!"
"Once—if, just if! If your gorilla leader doesn’t return, with only a few of you, you might have a chance of escaping yourselves, but taking with you would undoubtedly be a death sentence!"
"So, your best choice is to get information from ; whether you decide to run or stay, it’s a good option, don’t you think?!"
Lu Xiaobu rattled on, telling the Russian big guy all the pros and cons.
"Give him a cigarette." The Russian big guy squinted his eyes, listening to Lu Xiaobu’s words.
Yes, the best plan was undoubtedly to obtain information, so advancing or retreating was optional!
However, he wouldn’t follow Lu Xiaobu’s advice blindly!
"But, the leader said..."
A real fool next to him began to hesitate.
"I said, give him a cigarette!" The Russian big guy squinted his eyes, a bit annoyed: "Using the leader to pressure ?! The leader is not here, you listen to now!"
"Yes!" The fool quickly handed Lu Xiaobu a cigarette and lit it for him.
Lu Xiaobu clicked the cigarette, and lacking hands to hold it, he coughed carelessly.
What the group of rcenaries didn’t notice was that as Lu Xiaobu coughed, the sparks from the cigarette started flying out.
This seed normal; no one paid attention.
However, in the situation involving Lu Xiaobu, this beca abnormal!
"System, lend so money, activate the Fire Attribute and Intelligence Attribute; no need to max them out, just balance the activation!" Lu Xiaobu commanded directly.
"Okay!" The system responded promptly.
Instantly, the Fire Attribute and Intelligence Attribute were significantly enhanced.
Regarding Attributes, while Lu Xiaobu had always maxed them out, it didn’t an they had to be fully maxed.
After all, attribute points were incrented little by little!
So, under the effect of both attributes, Lu Xiaobu started controlling the sparks to float toward the rope!
Although not maxed out, the control was not very smooth, yet it was indeed controllable!
As the sparks landed on the rope, Lu Xiaobu stopped coughing.
"Speak!" The Russian big guy’s knife was once again pressed to Lu Xiaobu’s neck: "You just said yourself, it’s indeed difficult to leave your Heavenly Dynasty with you!"
"So now, I’ll give you one last chance; if you don’t talk, I’ll take action! I won’t kill you, but there are many things in this world that are more painful than death!"
"You reminded of that earlier, aren’t you a bit regretful now?!"
The Russian big guy’s expression was hideous, with a hint of pride.
Just monts ago, worried about the leader’s safety, he had forgotten!
After Lu Xiaobu’s reminder, he realized—if not dead, then fine!
Not fearing death doesn’t an not fearing pain!
Just imagining how he had considered Lu Xiaobu able to dismiss pain, assuming him to be a warrior unafraid of pain like them, was really stupid!
Even if dismissing life and death, he was just a privileged kid who couldn’t control his nicotine addiction—could he not be afraid of pain?!
"You actually realized it. Seems you’re not entirely foolish!" Lu Xiaobu rolled his eyes.
"I don’t have ti for your nonsense, speak now!" The big guy’s knife was gripped in reverse, and he directly stabbed at Lu Xiaobu’s palm!
In his impression, this stab would go right through that soft skin and flesh!
The pain radiating through one’s fingertips is not sothing an average person can endure!
However.
"Hmm?!"
The big guy realized his attack was actually blocked?!
No matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t injure Lu Xiaobu?!
What was going on?!
"You are a Superpower User?! No, according to your Heavenly Dynasty, you’re a cultivator?!" The Russian big guy imdiately jumped back from Lu Xiaobu, staring intensely at him.
Then suddenly, as if rembering sothing, his eyes widened: "The legend is true?!"
"What legend?!" Lu Xiaobu was instantly puzzled.
The Russian big guy ignored him, only watching Lu Xiaobu fiercely, while recalling the legend.
The legend was related to their task; during intelligence gathering, he had co across it.
Back then, he thought it was nonsense and ignored it.
The legend’s content was—The girl, the one taken by Lu Xiaobu, possessed secrets to allow humans to surpass their physical limits!
Therefore, that organization would stop at nothing to find that girl!
Now, it seed likely to be true!
In an instant, the eyes of the Russian big guy turned red!
Suddenly, he did sothing.
Gathering all the rcenaries together, claiming to discuss a rescue plan, and within a minute, gunfire rang out.
All the rcenaries, stripped of their weapons, were slaughtered by the Russian big guy alone!
"Don’t bla ! There’s a saying in the Heavenly Dynasty: People don’t work for themselves; they’re condemned by heaven and earth! If I surpass my physical limits, I’ll be grateful to you!"
The Russian big guy left a bloody footprint with each step, returning to Lu Xiaobu’s side.
