Chapter 680 - Bait Taken (II) (1/2)
Xiong De might have become rusty after spending a long time in this hellish place, but he was still once the man who stood on top of the pyramid, so he understood somehow now what Xiong Zhi was doing.
She wanted something from him.
Xiong Zhi lightly glanced over. ”As expected, you'll get your wits back after venting. However, are you really satisfied with that? Someone out there is enjoying all the benefits you worked hard for. Are you not getting angry?”
Xiong De chuckled. His laugh was cold and full of madness.
”...Angry? That word can't describe what I am feeling right now. I want to tear you both apart with my own two hands. You coming here… You must want something from me. What makes you think I will give it to you?”
”I moved against you because you tried to kill my grandfather. It's just you paying for your crime, not me plotting against you.” Xiong Zhi leaned against her seat. ”But you are right. Aside from telling you the news, I came here to get something out of you. Guan Gao Huan is not stopping. After getting the Guan Empire, he planned to stretch his claws to the Xiong Empire. I came here to remind myself to not fall into his scheme like you did. You are really a good example.”
Xiong De gritted his teeth and struggled from his binds.
Clang! Clang!
This whore!
They were all the same people who made him suffer to this point!
Xiong De wanted to tear off the hateful mouth from Xiong Zhi's face. With red eyes of fury, he roared.
”Don't f.u.c.k with me! You must want to screw Guan Gao Huan, huh?! You are thinking that I have something on him that you can use!”
Xiong Zhi quietly watched him with indifference.
Xiong De continued to howl. His face was full of mocking and boasting, ”Well, I'll tell you. I do have something on him. I, Xiong De, won't lose any dealings! I always kept evidence to not let any sc.u.mbag screw me over. You must want that evidence, don't you? You want it?! Why would I give it to you?!”
Xiong Zhi's eyes flashed.
Even if this man did not admit it, she still knew that with Xiong De's personality, he would not leave himself a safeguarding chip.
Xiong De really had it. The reason why she did not kill Xiong De in prison, even though she wanted to, was for this moment.
Xiong De was a cautious and careful man. If it was not for her memories of her past life and preparing everything step by step, she would not be able to bring down Xiong De.
Fortunately, the Xiong De right now was not the same as the cunning and resourceful tanuki as in the past. He did not have the right information from the outside world and his mind was no longer mentally sound as well. This all made him vulnerable and easy to scheme against.
Xiong Zh shrugged her shoulders and chuckled. ”How funny.”
”...?”
She looked amused. ”What made you think I want it? I can just avoid Guan Gao Huan. Perhaps, I can even work with him. Like you do. But of course, I won't fall in such a state like you. I came here to remember that.”
”Lies! Why would we have to move into this private room then? Earlier you were obviously insinuating…”
”Insinuating what?”
”That you wanted to use what I know against him!”
”That's why it's funny. You actually believed it. Why would I want something from a man who has nothing?”
”You…!”
Xiong Zhi spread her hands out with a magnanimous air.
How she loved playing around with her enemies on her palm!
”Thanks to you and to him, I saved my grandfather, became the hero of the family, and successfully got the heir position. There's no need to clash with him. I am someone who considers my best interest in mind. Even old enemies can still be used, as long as they are useful.”
”...!”
Xiong De narrowed his eyes.
Each declaration from the woman made his blood rush faster.
He gnashed his teeth.
This could not go on! He should not let the two of them get what they want! How could he continue to live in this hellish place while his enemy was living their life the way they want it?! No! He could not live like that!
