Despite the fact that Lin Tao had come prepared with a good gift from his end, Chief Lu was confident that it might not be sufficient.
He turned to face Lin Tao. As a result, he turned to face his side, where a thin and long man with extremely long limbs stood, looming over him.
"Brother Lin, I do not wish to be presumptuous, but I hope you are not trying to feed us some wrong information, right? Given, in this gang we are known to have some trusted comrades, and we did not wish to doubt one of us."
As a result of this tone, Lin Tao sensed a strong presence pressing down on the area, but Lin Tao had complete confidence in his information because it concerned the gang's future and was something he had personally witnessed it, as a member.
"Brother Long, I know I'm an outsider right now, but I had no intention of causing harm to your group, which is one group I want to admire from within."
Brother Long and Chief Lu both gave Lin Tao an introspective look due to his tone, which was devoid of any falsehood.
"Recently, I found that I was a member of a family circle, and due to this fact, my previous girlfriend was stolen from me with threats and killed after being raped; not to say, the same personality was behind my second girlfriend leaving my side a few days ago."
Lin Tao's expression was a little bitter at first, and then it changed completely, causing both Chief and Long to turn silent as they gazed at him.
"It was the reason I wanted to contact you guys, who really treasure bonds and friendship to this degree, given that I did not wish to see my family getting harmed, so brother Long, I also held the same emotions."
The man shook off his head and grinned and nodded to Lin Tao as he walked away after taking in Lin Tao's expression.
Where Chief Lu held an interesting expression, so both of them, along with Eliora, burst out laughing at some good topic, before Lin Tao said he needed to pick up a girl from college, causing Chief Lu to grin, before calling someone and telling him to guard Lin Tao.
"For better or for worse, but now you are a small part of this gang too, so I will make sure that you are also safe, and beside Black Fang, I could not imagine anyone else being good at it, so..."
Lin Tao walked out to see Black Fang grin as he jumped on the bike and pulled off while Lin Tao nodded and got out of his car, as they drew toward the college while Lin Tao pulled off the glass and talked with Black Fang on the side.
"So, how was the result, brother Fang?" Lin Tao was unmistakably asking about the Black Gold case; despite its name, Black Gold was actually a drug whose efficacy was truly astounding.
Given in small doses, it can significantly increase a worker's brain activity, boosting his productivity to new heights.
However, it was also putting a lot of strain on the average human mind, and in just 5 years, humans will begin to notice how their hearing, smelling, tasting, and other various senses would become dull, rendering them useless in just 10 years of consumption.
"Yes, we were crippled by a small percentage, but I never noticed those changes because I assumed those guys were just working hard... but I never considered how our ambition was putting our brother under such strain."
Lin Tao grinned as he considered how this gang would be genuinely worthy of working for him in the future.
However, he would take his time to get to know them and would not try to push his way to the top.
Given that he must earn the trust of this gang and its members through his labor of love, he must be able to trust them no matter the circumstance.
"Don't worry about it, brother Fang; given that such things will continue to occur and that there is always a poison for which there is a cure, it is only a matter of time and diligent work before it can also be solved."
Given that the "Black Gold" drug was actually extremely difficult to obtain and poisonous, Lin Tao's words were accurate. However, in the future, they will also be released, and they will be able to assist those individuals as well.
"Thanks, Brother Feng." Fang didn't take it seriously, but he could tell Lin Tao was just trying to cheer him up, so he turned to humour the guy's good will as well.
Eliora, on the other hand, was trying to talk with someone else while Lin Tao grinned as he could tell the other guy wasn't taking what he had to say seriously.
Given that, she also encouraged those with whom she had contact to take action and begin interacting with those who were in the business of selling Black Gold, as she recalled what Lin Tao had said.
She was unaware of how Lin Tao is always able to predict everything with such accuracy, nor did she know where he obtained that information.
"Master Lin Tao, I have also requested my car, so you must sit in that car after picking up Xiao Lei, as this model can only accommodate two people."
Eliora told Lin Tao with a smug smile, given that car was something they had left, but now he had to sit within it again, despite having such an expensive car to drive.
As a result, she had a satisfied-looking expression on her face when Lin Tao noticed it.
He then turned into his mischievous self and whispered in her ear, "So, I say miss Eliora, today I did help you out with that guy even putting myself at risk, is there not something you have to do to pay me."
Eliora suddenly remember the thing she said in play, where it seemed that Lin Tao was in mood to make her redeem her words.
But before this, she had never taken an initiative on to other, although the experience related to this was also horrible nightmare for her.
"Okay, it is just a kiss right, then I will keep my promise up master Lin..."
Eliora bit her lips, where Lin Tao saw her struggle and realized that it was something related to her dark past, and put his finger on her lips and shook his head.
"You could tell that you are more than uncomfortable for doing a french kiss, and it is not like you will leave me soon or something, I can always redeem this promise at some other day."
He looked at her pale expression and shook his head, as he started to plan on how to get to know about her past.
Given after all this time, he had decided to make her his women and for that, he will get rid of her past trauma.
On the other hand, Eliora felt warmth as she looked at Lin Tao who held that serious expression on his face, making him appear to be a proper man, although he is not one.
After all, after looking at him for all this time, she finally came to make this judgement.
"College is coming and she is also waiting for us with Lisa by her side, who appear to have something, she wish to tell you about something." Eliora spoke to Lin Tao where Black Fang also turned to look around at the college feeling nostalgic about it.
Lin Tao found Xiao Lei who was stunned to look at the car which Lin Tao was driving to and smiled, where Lin Tao turned to speak with Eliora.
"Let use general people common term called adjustment today, it seem my lady wanted to ride this car too." Eliora almost blushed hearing Lin Tao as she turned to look at Lisa, who smiled knowingly at Eliora.
