“Su Yun?!”
“It’s really Su Yun?!”
Zero and the white-robed men subconsciously took a few steps back and assumed a defensive posture out of habit. Their impression of Su Yun also became clear. They had seen Su Yun’s photo before, and the person in front of them was him.
Rumble—I
Rumble—I
A few bolts of lightning flashed in the air again, and the surrounding area was as bright as day again. With the help of the lightning, the white-robed men carefully identified him.
That’s right. The person sitting cross-legged beside the stone statue was Su Yun, whom they had been searching for. It was the real deal.
Su Yun’s expression was calm as he swept his gaze across the white-robed men lined up in front of him.
Su Yun’s sharp gaze shocked the white-robed men as they subconsciously put their hands on the armed belts at their waists. That was where the electromagnetic guns, grenades, and smoke grenades were placed.
Splash! Splash! Splash! Splash!
The heavy rain fell from the sky and slapped everything in the mountains, splashing water in all directions and making a unique sound. In the dark night, everything was hazy. There was clearly no smoke around, but it had the texture of smoke.
Only when lightning containing shocking energy rushed out of the dark clouds in the sky could everything around be illuminated. Otherwise, even though Su Yun and the white-robed men were not far apart, they could not see each other’s faces clearly.
“Pfft—” Wiping the rain off his face and spitting out the sand in his mouth, Zero tilted his head. The subordinate beside him understood and immediately took out two light sticks from his waist. Holding the middle part, he twisted it to the left, and the ends of the two sticks instantly lit up.
In the dark rainy night, the two light sticks emitted four pieces of light, slightly dispelling the uneasiness of walking in the darkness. With the help of the lighting rod, Su Yun and the white-robed men could see each other’s facial expressions clearly. They no longer needed to use lightning every time to see each other.
Splash—
Under the light, the heavy rain formed a line and slapped everyone’s faces, scattering.
Su Yun looked calmly at the white-robed men. The white-robed men glared at Su Yun. Neither of them spoke. There was only the sound of rain on the empty mountaintop. The surrounding murderous atmosphere, accompanied by the rain that poured into their mouths and noses, made it difficult to breathe.
A moment later, the leader of the white-robed men, Zero, was the first to speak. “Su Yun, let’s cooperate.”
From Zero’s point of view, Su Yun had some ability, but he had the advantage in numbers and was equipped with various weapons. As long as Su Yun lost the advantage of assassination, he would definitely die.
Long before he spoke, Zero had already calculated in his heart. He was already a turtle in a jar. Su Yun could not escape even if he had wings. It was not difficult for him to take action. However, Su Yun had the first piece of golden foil in his hand.
This was the most fatal part!
If Su Yun was stubborn, even if the white-robed men threatened him with death, he would not reveal the whereabouts of the first piece of golden foil.
That would be troublesome. After all, killing Su Yun was not his primary goal. Finding the first piece of golden foil was the most important.
In that case, Zero planned to not threaten him first, but lure him with benefits. Humans had a common characteristic, which was that they liked to listen to good words. It was the best choice to persuade him with kind words, promise him heavy benefits, and obtain the first piece of golden foil without any bloodshed.
When that happened, Su Yun would naturally take out the first piece of golden foil. Once the golden foil was in their hands, Su Yun would be of no value. When the time came, he would just kill him.
Even after the collaboration invitation was issued, Su Yun remained expressionless and did not say a word. No one knew if he agreed or not. In fact, Su Yun was deliberately stalling for time to adjust his state.
The two sides were still locked in a stalemate in the rain, causing the white-robed men to become impatient. However, Zero maintained his patience. He did not rush him or say harsh words. He even returned Su Yun’s hypocritical smile.
“Su Yun, since you intercepted the cultural relics, you must not be an ordinary person. There are many benefits to working with us. As for the strength of our organization, you’ve seen it yourself. There’s no need to say anything about wealth and glory. They’re all the most basic.” Zero took two steps forward and closed the distance between him and Su Yun. He continued to rope him in.
“You like money, right? Otherwise, why would you intercept this thing? Everyone likes money. I’ll give you a cheque for as much as you want. You can fill in the numbers yourself. You can fill in as much as you want. As a man, you like women too, right? Pure, flirtatious, and mature. As long as you want, we can find them for you.”
Splash! Splash! Splash!
In the pouring rain, Su Yun faced the white-robed man, who was several times stronger than him, alone in silence. Food and lust were the most basic needs of humans. Zero gave Su Yun several times more than ordinary people. Anyone with normal intelligence would be moved.
To be honest, Su Yun also knew that unless he was stupid, why would he not agree to such conditions? However, giving a promise and being able to do it were two completely different concepts. Anyone would say something like that. However, not everyone could turn what they said into reality.
Stop talking nonsense. We’re all thousand-year-old foxes. Why are we chatting?
Su Yun looked at the non-stop Zero, his eyes filled with disdain. Although he was annoyed, he could still tolerate it. After all, Su Yun also wanted to know the whereabouts of the second piece of golden foil. And the group of white-robed men in front of him was the best clue for the second piece of golden foil.
Su Yun wanted to get some useful information out of them.
Under a set of temptations, Su Yun remained unmoved. This made Zero, whose mouth was already dry, lose his patience. Since Su Yun was stubborn, there was no need to waste his breath on him. Since the bribery failed, there was only coercion left..
