Chapter 49 (1/2)
Love Breeds Hate
The ated the instant Lian Jun said ”Pegasus” Everyone's gazes shi+fted away fro, their expressions suspicious and uneasy
This reaction was to be expected—Pegasus had garnered asus was a anization It was rather old and used to keep a low profile However, four or five years ago, its an to s sanizations of the saanization it could… In short, its actions were conte, it made stink everywhere and buried its feces in your house
When facing a weaker opponent, it trath, it only harassed and er forces, it wouldn't openly provoke, but would secretly poach people, trying to weaken the so up yet so and et rid of it
The probleanizations had targeted Pegasus several times, both openly and covertly, but none succeeded It was like a cockroach: nearly unkillable, disgusting people by , and whenever it appeared, you couldn't have a peace of asus' leader didn't coanization wouldn't attend the conference in only two cases—either it was destroyed or had lost its legal status The other leaders were happy hichever
As a matter of fact, since the asus Sot fed up and cleaned it up in secret
Just now, Lian Jun directly stated that Nine Eagles and Pegasus were connected, and everyone's minds instantly turned frantic with speculation
Lian Jun's words seeasus, and that he discovered there was a relation between theasus dared to act so unscrupulously because it had support froanizations Once they followed this line of thought, they noticed that Pegasus' sudden change in behavior happened the sa, who'd suddenly becoe to jump to his feet and loudly curse Lian Jun
Unlike the others, he knehat happened to Pegasus It proved to be a very useful pawn, and last year, he sent it to Y Province to get rid of Lian Jun; he lost contact with its ht and sent to prison
At first, he orried Lian Jun would asus' leader's mouth and find it was him as the mastermind behind the cautiously, but in the end, there were none As such, he thought Pegasus' leader had coles' involvement a secret, and that Lian Jun failed to associate Gua Four turning traitor with them
He'd never expected that it wasn't that Lian Jun hadn't known, but that the da on that knowledge for alht now, after Zuo Yang had long put it behind, choosing the perfect les draw everyone's hatred!
Insidious! Devious! Despicable! Sha, etting one over on Lian Jun disappeared in a flash His face twitched, and he squeezed out a casual smile Just like Lian Jun, he didn't answer the question: ”I just asked casually, but your reaction was so big, you even made some random accusations It makes me believe your new subordinate is quite special”
”Of course he's special, each of my subordinates is special” Lian Jun put down the information in his hand, still expressionless ”I have to say, if this is your atte, I doubt anyone even tells you what tiasus iped out by me I don't believe you don't know this and yet, you still dare to provoke me I really think you lack brains If you're not afraid I will expose all your other hidden lackeys, feel free to continue annoying les' secrets Don't forget—if you can put anization, I can put theed at last, but he still pretended Pegasus was never one of his pawns, and drawled, ”Lian Jun, I see your skill of twisting the truth is as good as ever”
”Twisting the truth? Everyone can judge for the fed up and unwilling to speak with Nine Eagles' leader any longer ”Zuo Yang, you can drea emperor of the underworld, but no one here is a fool”
Elanced sideways at Zuo Yang and said, ”Zuo Yang, acco We 's face looked as if he was forced to eat feces The fake s
Lu Shan grinned wide at Zuo Yang's hu a pen in one hand, she said, ”What century is this? There are still grownthe emperor of the underworld Lian Jun, dear, I suddenly feel I don't hate you thathated by you is to be called 'dear,' then no thanks, please continue to hatethe pretense of his hostile relationshi+p with Tarantula's leader
Lu Shan's expression stiffened, and she gave him a look full of dissatisfaction She let the pen drop and sneered: ”Unappreciative bastard” Then she also stopped talking
This marked the end of the skiranizations The silence was restored, but the atmosphere in the conference room was quite different from before
Earlier, everyone ostracized Lian Jun, intentionally or not However, after Lian Jun dropped the boasus, it was Zuo Yang who got that treatment
The underworld leaders didn't like Lian Jun because of his close relationshi+p with the authorities, but at least he didn't secretly cultivate pawns to under was ambitious and unscrupulous; today's revelations confirain
The powerful but low-profile anizations without reason, or the ambitious man anted to become the emperor of the underworld—did anyone even have to wonder which wasdidn't break up until just before dinner When the leaders ca thely—as soon as theZhuoyuan and Liu Zhenjun ”invited” him over
shi+ Jin, as usual, shouldered Gua One aside and usurped the handles of Lian Jun's wheelchair ”I saw Zuo Yang talking to you Did he make trouble?” He asked with concern
”He didn't, he was just his usual brainless self,” Lian Jun replied casually, glossing over the brief confrontation He waited until shi+ Jin pushed him to the second upper level, where there were fewer people around then continued, ”But he does have so whether I held inforainst him—he can't have no ace up his sleeve”
shi+ Jin frowned ”So Long shi+ really is in his hands?”
”Yes What's les' shi+p,” Lian Jun said ”Zuo Yang was overwhelmed by me today He certainly won't be able to endure and will try to settle the score sooner or later We simply need to wait”
shi+ Jin took a look at Lian Jun's progress bar, which stayed at 900 and refused to budge, and nodded
Lian Jun's speculation turned out to be correct After dinner, Zuo Yang sent a subordinate to invite Lian Jun to visit Nine Eagles' shi+p and sent an invitation card with the word ”Long” inside
Lian Jun threw the card into the trash in front of Zuo Yang's subordinate and said, ”Tell Zuo Yang I'm not as foolish as him” Then he let Gua One throw the man out
shi+ Jin looked at the trash can, a bit uneasy
Lian Jun thought the teenager didn't understand why he didn't accept the invitation, and explained, ”We can't let ourselves follow Zuo Yang's pace Don't worry, soh to deter him”
shi+ Jin shook his head He took Lian Jun's hand, pulling it closer to his eyes Suddenly, he frowned, then circled the wheelchair to grab the handles and pushed it to the bathrooan to frantically wash Lian Jun's hands
Lian Jun wasn't stupid—he i on ”Is there a problem with the card?”
”I' sent by Zuo Yang in the future Who knows if there's anything on it?” shi+ Jin answered, his eyes glued to Lian Jun's progress bar, which had suddenly risen a few points after he touched the card He kept washi+ng Lian Jun's hands until he saw the bar drop, then turned off the tap and reached for the towel
Lian Jun let shi+ Jin help him wipe his hands then called Gua Two He asked hi and send it to Annihilation's shi+p so Uncle Long could have a look
Gua Two's face darkened He cursed Zuo Yang for being an underhanded scu and a pair of tweezers, and carefully collected the card He also took the trash can away to get rid of it—better safe than sorry
Gua One was equally upset He said, angry and reence I saw the man hold it with bare hands and didn't scrutinize it”
”It's not your fault” Lian Junthe inti the would be stupid enough to try to harovernment shi+p? Looks like he has no respect for the officials Besides, there isn't necessarily so with the card, this is all just in case”
Though he said that, he still ordered every person who had been anywhere near the card to carefully wash their hands and faces, and shi+ Jin was no exception
In the bathrooed Xiao Si in hisshi+? I'd like to confirles' shi+p”

Happy, shi+ Jin praised the systeet so shi+
Finally, he chose to start with Gua Two
He took the ga he really, really wanted to play with hi shi+—surreptitiously, he thought
Gua Two picked up his token with disgust At shi+ Jin's question, he looked at him and answered directly: ”It's not that we intentionally let Long shi+ go that year, he was just too cunning After betraying Jun-shao, he burned all his research and belongings and disappeared like a ghost, leaving absolutely no traces of hi to save Jun-shao's life He e of the chaos We've never actually given up on searching for hi shi+ is too familiar with Annihilation's means and the way it operates, so he was able to easily evade our pursuit”
