Chapter 909 - 905: I Really Didn’t Do It on Purpose!
Sure, I will translate the text as requested:After a brief moment, the middle-aged man steadied his breath. Although his mind screamed against flattering someone younger, he suppressed his dissatisfaction and tried to sound sincere, "Your approach is truly brilliant, or else we would have suffered more losses!"
The young man snorted coldly and replied, "Do you think I just randomly command things? I noticed the bastard was asking for medicinal items, so I carefully selected those items. Otherwise, do you think they would let us off easily?!"
After speaking, he asked coldly, "Are the people ready?"
Despite disliking this nitpicking leader, who made it seem like everybody owed him money, the middle-aged man knew he was the leader, so he answered softly, "They’re ready. As soon as that fellow hands over the experiment records, our people will set out immediately."
"Don’t screw things up!" the young man said with intense dissatisfaction, "If there’s any mistake, you’ll be the culprit!"
"..."
The middle-aged man was stunned, almost unable to believe his ears. How could responsibility fall on him when it was clearly the other from start to finish, and moreover be labeled as the culprit?
Is there any logic in this world like that?!
However, despite his resentment, growing uncontrollably the desire to argue back, he repeatedly told himself: Going against the leader is an immature manifestation...
After repeating the sentence ten times, the middle-aged man took a deep breath, calming his emotions significantly, and transmitted, "Rest assured, I am confident my people will arrive within five minutes."
However, just as the message was about to be sent, the middle-aged man was surprised to find that the communication channel had been unilaterally cut off by that young leader.
Not only that, simultaneously as the channel was severed, a murmuring voice came back along the previous channel...
"I must properly calculate how much unnecessary loss has been saved for the organization this time..."
As the voice faded into a murmur, the middle-aged man felt a surge of anger, wanting to curse!
Discovering that all efforts under pressure had become part of the young leader’s efficient direction?!
Harboring the feeling that success didn’t attribute to him, yet failure would lay the blame on him, the middle-aged man turned his gaze toward the Teleportation Array.
After confirming the adjustment of the teleportation direction, the middle-aged man couldn’t help feeling curious. Given the time passed, the other side should have sent over the experiment records already.
Just as he contemplated asking, he suddenly noticed Xiao Tian’s fingertips jumping with bright yellow True Qi, an ambiguous malicious smile on his face.
In the middle-aged man’s mind, he was amazed at the unexpected backtrack that he had encountered after so many years!
It’s not that he was foolish; firstly, the situation showed they had no initiative; secondly, dealing with the Water Drop Organization, dare to backtrack on agreements has been rare these past years.
So the middle-aged man sent the items over, who could have thought he’d indeed encounter such a situation!
"What are you trying to do?!"
He said in a grim tone, "I’ve given you the items; shouldn’t you now give me the experiment records?!"
Xiao Tian sneered immediately, "And after I hand them over, you send people to kill me?"
Upon hearing, the middle-aged man’s expression turned extremely gloomy, "Our Water Drop Organization values commitment, so you can rest assured."
"Yes, but we’re not in open transactions. Even if you eliminate me without anyone knowing, retrieve items back, no one would know!"
Xiao Tian mocked, "Are you saying you wouldn’t do such things?"
The middle-aged man was rendered speechless; he forced himself to calm down, gritting out, "What exactly do you want?"
"Very simple!"
Xiao Tian seemed to have awaited the question, saying, "After a month, if I remain safe, I will send the experiment report via email."
Realizing this, the middle-aged man understood Xiao Tian was intentionally provoking him.
Of course, it might also be for his own safety consideration, but extracting experiment records would certainly require effort.
After being mocked, exceedingly furious, the middle-aged man’s mind became extraordinarily clear.
Understanding the low possibility of getting experiment records from Xiao Tian, he settled with a secondary demand: "If that’s the case, at least abide by previous agreements and control Adison Claire."
Xiao Tian promptly agreed, "No problem!"
Then, it seemed intentionally, perhaps coincidentally, True Qi from his fingertips rushed forward, targeting the item enabling mutual contact.
The middle-aged man’s teeth nearly cracked, "You... shameless!"
Xiao Tian showed a face of apology, "Sorry, it truly wasn’t intentional. If you don’t believe it, you can send someone now; I will control Adison Claire."
Although it sounded apologetic, the tone unequivocally lacked sincerity, hard to believe it wasn’t deliberate.
The next instant, the middle-aged man’s grim face shattered, conventional biological entities reformed into water droplets, gradually recovering.
...
Meanwhile, despite Xiao Tian’s reminder, the enraged middle-aged man immediately dispatched people and gathered his strongest forces, determined to kill Xiao Tian.
After issuing orders, the middle-aged man’s gaze gradually turned cold, murmuring, "A fine double-crossing bastard, do you really think I’m powerless against you?"
He added, biting his tongue, and smeared tongue blood on his fingertip, tapping on his forehead. A flash of light, rendering him like a pile of broken mess, slouched like sludge on the chair.
Shortly, the young voice reappeared in his ear...
"You’ve screwed things up!"
After one sentence, the middle-aged man felt like plunging into a frozen river, every inch of skin tingled, his face turned pale.
"I’ve sent someone; the bastard cannot escape!" he explained, his voice trembling.
Yet, the chill intensified, causing his limbs to grow numb, feeling detached, even frost seemed to form on eyebrows, aging him instantly.
"You should recall, a few minutes ago, I mentioned if things go wrong, you’re the culprit; at that time, you didn’t disagree."
At this point, the young man’s words paused.
