Chapter 1247: Sometimes Introducing Yourself Is a Painful Thing
Fang Zhou’s defection became the last straw that broke the back of this assassination squad in the battle. What frustrated Fang Zhou himself was that he had actually begged Ling Mo to do it. And in the end, all he got in return was a promise to “live a little longer”…
“Ling-Ge, I don’t get it. This Fang Zhou seems very cooperative… why don’t you just interrogate him directly?” As they went downstairs, Xia Na followed Ling Mo and asked in a low voice.
Ling Mo smiled slightly and answered quietly, “Precisely because of that… that’s why I can’t ask him directly. The moment he realizes I really want to get something out of him, someone like him will immediately start bargaining. I could tell from the first moment I saw him that he’s different from the other Falcon members who came to kill me. Because the first thing he showed wasn’t a look of despair. Someone who thinks they’re doomed to die wouldn’t react like that. I’ve already seen this in the previous two people.”
“Doesn’t he know now?” Xia Na asked doubtfully.
“Of course he knows. I’m not some Oscar-winning actor-he’d have to be blind not to see it,” Ling Mo said quite frankly.
“Then he…”
“You want to ask why he’d still do this, right?” Ling Mo smiled, then continued, “That’s human nature… When there’s still a sliver of hope in a desperate situation, as someone who wants to survive, he’ll go crazy for that hope. But even so, he’ll still be anxious and hesitant, because he doesn’t trust me.”
“Then why does he believe there’s hope?” Xia Na was still puzzled.
“Because he believes I know nothing. And he trusts his own judgment of me, which is that I would never just sit back and do nothing. As long as I have that thought, he has a chance,” Ling Mo said.
“Mm…” Xia Na thought for a moment, then asked, “So do you really have that thought?”
“I really do,” Ling Mo said.
“So he guessed right!”
“It’s normal not to want to be hunted down! I’m not some fool’s masochistic brother!” Ling Mo said.
“Hey… you’re basically naming names at this point…” Xia Na said, shrugging. “Whatever, I just think killing him would be more interesting. For some reason, I just find him especially unpleasant to look at.”
Ling Mo glanced at Xia Na in surprise, then patted her hair and said, “That’s human nature too…”
“No… I just simply think he’d be unappetizing as food…”
“That too… Well, that’s definitely not human nature,” Ling Mo said, speechless.
…
After Black Silk and the other two rushed back, everyone gathered in the building.
At this point, Fang Zhou had already withdrawn his Superpower… According to him, his Superpower was an Elemental Ability. But when it came to the details, he wasn’t willing to say much. Ling Mo didn’t push him…
“Anyway, I basically already know how to counter it,” he said.
Fang Zhou’s face grew even uglier at that…
“How did you do it?” Fang Zhou finally couldn’t help but ask.
Ling Mo glanced at him and said, “It’s not hard…”
Then there was a moment of silence…
A few seconds later, Fang Zhou lowered his head. “Whatever… the result is what it is…”
Ling Mo smiled, then turned to face everyone and said, “Next, let’s officially get to know Xiao Fang! Xiao Fang, come introduce yourself.”
“Hey!”
Fang Zhou was instantly thrown off… What kind of bizarre meet-and-greet is this! It was bad enough to have a group of hostile enemies glaring at him… and there were still plenty of corpses behind them! 𝑅äΝọＢΕŚ
In this situation, he immediately felt a strong chill in the air…
“Well then…” Fang Zhou braced himself and stepped forward, cursing Ling Mo in his heart, “I’ll just say it… My name is Fang Zhou… I’m the… the captain of this squad…”
“And your objective?” Mu Chen asked coldly.
“That… to… to kill Ling Mo.” Fang Zhou started sweating… Damn, these people’s eyes were already stabbing him like a thousand arrows! This might not be an interrogation, but it didn’t seem any better… Wasn’t Ling Mo doing this on purpose?!
Especially since he was standing by, smiling as he reminded, “That’s not the main point… because the real mastermind isn’t Xiao Fang…”
“Then who?!” Ye Kai suddenly drew his blade and stood up. His gangster-like aura actually fit the situation quite well…
“It’s…” Fang Zhou kept sweating… He was planning to keep this as a bargaining chip! But looking at the scene, if he dared to say “no”… these people would probably all rush him!
By then, even if he wanted to talk, he wouldn’t be able to…
“You’re ruthless!” Fang Zhou glanced at Ling Mo and said, “It’s Falcon. Chief of Staff Wang from Falcon.”
“So it really is Falcon!”
“I knew it!”
“Damn it, is this ever going to end!”
Seeing the crowd getting agitated, Fang Zhou quickly said, “I can help you.”
“Help us?”
“How?”
Zhang Xincheng asked even more directly, “What are you after?”
He did have an agenda… but did he dare say it?!
So Fang Zhou could only say tearfully, “I just hope you all can show some mercy…”
“Want to live? That’s easy enough,” Yuwen Xuan said with a grin, “Just wait until Chief of Staff Wang is dead. Then you’ll be safe.”
“I… I’ll do my best,” Fang Zhou replied.
“Master, is this guy really going to be so obedient?” Black Silk asked in Ling Mo’s mind.
“Obedient? Maybe… but I can pretty much guess what he wants,” Ling Mo said.
“Really? What is it?” Black Silk’s curiosity was piqued.
Ling Mo glanced at Fang Zhou and said, “It’s nothing more than to satisfy his own desires… But people like this are useful to us. It’s just…”
“Just what?” Black Silk keenly picked up on a slight fluctuation in Ling Mo’s thoughts.
Ling Mo kept watching Fang Zhou’s back and said in his heart, “Everything’s going smoothly so far… We’ve come through without much danger, and even captured an important person from the other side. With the basics for figuring out all their information. From how things are developing, it should be in our favor… But for some reason, I just feel like something’s off… something doesn’t feel right…”
“Not right…” Black Silk also stared at Fang Zhou… No matter how she looked, this guy didn’t seem to have any hidden problems… No, actually, all his problems were obvious… So what is it that’s making Ling Mo feel uneasy…
“Ah!” Black Silk suddenly exclaimed in realization, “Could it be because of his orientation…”
“Screw off!” Ling Mo roared.
