"So, are you going to spit it out yourself, or should I help?"Jihuan gritted her teeth. She smirked disdainfully, "I won't tell you anything! I hope you suffer and die!" She laughed crazily, imagining Haoyu's future fate of being besieged from all directions. As if humored by her words, Haoyu also laughed. He crouched down and looked at her now stunned state. He smiled cruelly, his eyes tinted with a ruthless light, reflecting the messy appearance of the woman in front of him."You don't even realize that you're dying... a stupid creature like you makes me question this world."He rest his cheek to his palm and said slowly."You didn't know that they were just using you. You drank that poison readily for your survival, hoping them to keep their end of sweet promises."He pointed at her pale face, full of faint cracks, "You, are you aware that you're only a disposable pawn in their hands?""... What?""What are you talking about...?""No.. no no, you... YOU'RE LYING!!! LIAR! LIAR! LIAR!!!"Jihuan screamed hysterically. She grabbed her hair and screamed, saying 'liar' over and over. The effect of the potion heightened her hysteria even further, causing her mentality to crumble down. Her brain is incapable of processing nor responding anymore.Kei crawled closer to Haoyu as he speak urgently, "What do you mean poison?! What poison?!"Before he can touch Haoyu, he got pressed to the ground by two men. He can only look up with difficulty and keep questioning Haoyu."What poison?! Tell me, you bastard!!!"Haoyu looked at the worm struggling in front of him. His inhumane eyes seemed to be tinted with interest and amusement. He raised his and and a glass of vial full of red liquid floats to his hand. He lazily shook the glass to Kei."This thing. Did you think I won't find out that you were scheming behind my back? The things you stole are all prepared by me.""Since I let you stole it, of course I can't give you the real thing, don't you agree?"Kei and his team's face turn paler. Their faint cracks become even more apparent. The shock they experienced accelerated the destructive effect of the potion they drank. "But..."Clank-Two bottle of blue liquid clanked in Haoyu's hand. "I have the antidote here, want it?"When they just fell into despair, a hope suddenly emerged. Kei's eyes lit up. He struggled under the restraint, wanting to crawl closer to the bottle that can save his life. He shouted hoarsely."Give me!!! GIVE IT TO ME!!!"Haoyu smiled, "If you spit it out, I'll give it to you, what do you think?""I'll say it!!!""No, I'll tell you, please give it to me!!!"The other member of team 3 speak one after another, clearly expressed their desire to live. Kei shouted hurriedly, "I'll tell you!"Haoyu nodded lightly, telling him to go on.Kei pursed his lips, then tell all the plans and the backers' identity."It's the Qing base, Chu Yang. He's the leader for this operation. There are 3 bases in this operation.""It's Qing base, R base, and base of Freedom.""We have a deal to exchange the potion and blueprints of the weapon the military base developed with their help to build my own base. They'll supply us with resources for a year, until our base are stable.""It's on the ground that the potions and blueprints will become the key of the destruction of the military base, especially you."Cough...Kei coughed blood. He gasped for breath before continuing."You've made a lot of enemies... there's a lot out there that hates you.""I've told you everything, now give it to me! Cough!"More blood escaped his mouth. He stubbornly stared at the bottle in Haoyu's hand. Haoyu hummed in satisfaction and throw them to Kei."Well, enjoy."The restrictions on Kei disappears and he quickly scrambled the bottle rolling to him desperately. The other two members behind him also crawled to him and try to snatch the bottle. "Give them more. Don't let them fight for a mere bottle.""Yes, sir."Three more bottle rolled to them, enough for each of them to drink. They looked into Haoyu's direction with gratitude and quickly drank the liquid. Kei helped the hysteric Jihuan drank hers. After making sure all of them drank the liquid, Haoyu patted the nonexistent dust on his trouser and walked out of the forest, leaving team 3. Walking a bit far from them, a man whispered to Haoyu."Sir, should I leave a few to clean up?"Haoyu lazily yawned, then replied, "Yeah, hide first though. Clean it up after it's all over.""Yes, sir."Three men returned to team 3's location while Haoyu and the rest walked back to the base. The men behind Haoyu walked silently as they all thought of how ruthless the man in front of them.He gives a false hope to a despairing individual.The so-called antidote is actually a liquid made to enhance the attributes of the red potion. So what they just drank actually accelerate their death.This outings reinforce their vow to bow and loyal to the man in front of them. With this, the slightest thought of rebelling was dispelled cleanly.....In the office, Haoyu sat behind the table. Right in front of the table is a row of men, standing neatly. His finger tapped onto the document in front of him as he smiled lazily."Three bases. Qing, R and base of freedom.""Have you send the order to our friends there?"Ye Hua reported promptly, "Yes, sir. They have been ordered to prepare. They are now entered an alert state, waiting for the signal."Haoyu nodded lightly."This operation will be led by Yichen, so Ye Hua, tell him the overall plan and let him decide the strategy.""Listen, all of you. The command will be left to Yichen. Obey and follow his orders flawlessly."His sharp eyes watched them one by one. He said slowly, "I don't want to hear any failure. Do you understand?"Ye Hua and the others replied sonorously, "We won't disappoint you!""Good." He snapped his fingers, capturing their attention, and declared in a nonchalant tone, "Send out our teams respectively and start the operation.""As you command, sir!"They all thumped their right fists to their hearts and replied vigorously.
