This was a ticulously prepared betrayal planned well in advance!
But it makes no sense.
Ren Zhong had no idea I planned to go deeper than the usual route today!
After discovering the Ruined Beast in berserk mode, I adjusted the hunting route again, which led to advance to a place much deeper than usual!
All of this was my own decision, not influenced by anyone!
How could he possibly foresee this!
This is impossible! Absolutely impossible!
But it did happen.
Realizing this, Lin Wang imdiately halted in his tracks, two drops of cold sweat trickling down his forehead.
In Starfire Town, Lin Wang, known for his cunning intelligence comparable to demonic ways, for the first ti felt imnse confusion, and a subtle, lingering fear grew in his heart.
It wasn’t that he feared Ren Zhong, but the situation was too bizarre, utterly beyond his common sense, like suddenly finding a missing moon in the sky at night.
This is the inevitable soul tremor one experiences when facing the unknown.
At that mont, Ren Zhong’s shrill yell echoed again from around the corridor’s corner.
"Huh? My good captain, where are you? I’m waiting for you."
Lin Wang slightly arched his back into a defensive posture, shouting sowhat hysterically, "Ren Zhong! I have never wronged you, where have I treated you unfairly? Where have I been bad to you? Why do you want to kill , why betray ! Even if you want dead, you should give a reason!"
A hearty laugh sounded from around the corner. "Do you really want to know?"
"Speak! If you tell , I can let bygones be bygones today. Like nothing ever happened!"
"Oh? Really? Bei Lihui is your childhood friend, weren’t you two quite close? Don’t you want revenge for him?"
Lin Wang: "I swear! I only want an answer now!"
Ren Zhong lightly coughed, "Captain, you should know I’m quite the womanizer. Let tell you, Tang Shuying is also mine now."
"You’re crazy! There are won all over the street, is it worth betraying for soone like Tang Shuying?"
Ren Zhong: "Captain, I was just joking with you like Hui Ge always does. The truth is, Mr. Yang has long been tired of a subordinate with ambitions too big like you and has spent a lot to hire , the professional assassin. I ca to Starfire Town incognito and in disguise just for you."
"Impossible! Mr. Yang, although wary of , knows !"
"Really? Captain? Are you sure?"
Lin Wang fell silent.
Ren Zhong continued, "Let tell you another piece of information. Two other professional teams have been waiting outside the abandoned pit, just waiting for you to show up before taking your life."
"Nonsense! You’re bluffing, you’re alone!"
"Then why haven’t you co to kill yet, captain?"
Lin Wang was silent again.
He was desperately racking his brain, trying to unravel so clues from this chaotic situation.
He finally realized.
Eleven days ago, Ren Zhong faked injury.
Although he didn’t know how Ren Zhong altered his appearance so convincingly to deceive his checks, nor how he simulated Tang Shuying’s battle traces, but the one who had quietly gone on hunts earlier on was not Tang Shuying, but Ren Zhong.
Ren Zhong had been sowing discord.
Lin Wang suddenly understood.
From the beginning, Ren Zhong possessed Fourth Level strength, but Starfire Town could only accommodate three professional teams; he deliberately got close to him and then sought to take his place!
Having spent his life either betraying others, preparing for betrayal, or guarding against betrayal, Lin Wang finally tasted the true flavor of being betrayed.
But he still couldn’t understand many things, like the existence of the deceptive mines using quasi-superconductive tal jets, or why Ren Zhong, knowing that Starfire Resources was moving, was still so frenziedly driven to act.
The many unsolvable mysteries stirred within his heart like a tangled web, causing pressure on his temples, leaving him sowhat dizzy.
Ren Zhong’s voice ca again from the front, but slightly quieter than before, indicating he was about to walk away.
"Captain, if you don’t co now, I’ll be leaving. I’ll be outside with Captain Tang and the others waiting for you. Hmm? Not coming? I’m really going, then!"
Thirty seconds later, Lin Wang still hadn’t moved.
Si Mawan walked gingerly to Lin Wang’s side, looked down with so regret at Bei Lihui’s corpse split into two, and nervously asked, "Captain, what do we do now?"
Lin Wang gritted his teeth, "Return the way we ca. I can’t tell which of those bastard’s words are true or false, let’s get out first."
