Chapter 435: Gaining the Answer to Everything! (1/2)
After securing the empress’ support, Bai Xiaofei hurried back to his yard and let the prime minister’s personal guard return to his position.
Next was to wait.
Since Tang Bing had put in so much effort, it was impossible for him to have no further action. And when he acted, that would be the time for Bai Xiaofei to step out. That day might not be soon, but it was certainly not far away either.
However, Bai Xiaofei didn’t expect that coming before that was a deportation order!
When they met again, Tang Bing was no longer the same, with dozens of guards following him closely, and several Master Rank puppet masters among them. Needless to say, those puppet masters had been transferred from the Globe Merchant Group.
Tang Bing was clearly determined to take over the Ancient Yue Kingdom!
“I know you all understand what I mean. The current Nabu City has no place for outsiders. Since your mission here is over, there is no need to stay, otherwise it will be bad for us all,” stressed Tang Bing as he stood in front of Bai Xiaofei. At the moment, Bai Xiaofei was definitely the last person he wanted to see.
Tricky as Bai Xiaofei was, that wasn’t the problem. The main thing was that his spiritual attack was useless against Bai Xiaofei. This was what made Tang Bing uneasy.
Therefore, Bai Xiaofei must leave!
“Who said our mission is over? We have received reliable information that the item we are tasked to escort is still within Nabu City. As long as we get it back, we can continue our mission, right? As for other things, don’t worry, General Tang, it won’t affect you,” replied Bai Xiaofei calmly.
Tang Bing didn’t believe a word. Won’t affect me? You really take me for a fool?
“So, you refuse to leave no matter what?” Tang Bing’s voice grew icy. The guards around him instantly surrounded Bai Xiaofei’s group.
However, Bai Xiaofei wasn’t the least bit intimidated. He looked at Tang Bing in the eyes. “You don't have the courage to openly start a fight with me, let alone that you’re now only just a commander of Ancient Yue. Even if you are the emperor, you still won’t have backing for it. As for the Globe Merchant Group behind you…” Bai Xiaofei sneered. “With all due respect, if anything happens to us, the Globe Merchant Group will not hesitate to hand you over to Starnet for punishment. Believe me, this isn’t a threat.”
Tang Bing’s mouth twitched.
He thought he could scare Bai Xiaofei, but the latter unexpectedly saw the big picture so clearly. He finally took Bai Xiaofei seriously.
“Even if you stay, there are some things you can’t change. This is what Ancient Yue owes me!” Tang Bing gritted his teeth and actually chose to change tack.
Hearing this, Bai Xiaofei’s eyes lit up as a doubt in his heart was resolved. He had a conjecture before, and Tang Bing’s words now proved it to be true.
“Too far?!” Tang Bing snorted, his eyes cruel. “This is what the Gu family deserved! Even if I’m crueler than this, it still won’t be ‘too far’! Since you must have a rough idea, I’ll just inform you in advance: I will take back what belongs to me no matter what. If you insist on intervening, I don’t mind handling you as an obstacle!”
Leaving this declaration, Tang Bing turned around and left. The hostile guards also followed him out of the small courtyard.
