Lian Jun also looked at shi+ Jin then rabbed his free left hand Squeezing it gently, he soothed, ”Don't get angry, the traitor isn't worth it” His voice was indescribably tender

shi+ Jin iht

Xiao Si squawked in surprise Suddenly, the future looked bright

Gua One and the others turned towards the two, so hard to the side to see better, and stared at their clasped hands Their eyes ide as if doubting what they saw

It was such a tense moment, but pink bubbles seemed to float in the air

shi+ Jin, however, was oblivious to it all He pulled Lian Jun back a few steps and cautioned hiet too close—I suspect there's a proble shi+” Heat the traitor

Long shi+ stopped shouting thethe interaction between shi+ Jin and Lian Jun, his expression distorted, and he began to struggle desperately ”Jun-shao! Who is he? Who is that little bastard pointing a gun at me? Why can he touch you, why!”

Lian Jun's face sank He was about to speak when shi+ Jin uncere!

The bullet flew, but its target was Zuo Yang's hand clales' leader had been thoughtfully looking back and forth between Lian Jun and shi+ Jin He snorted coldly and dodged, pulling Long shi+ with hiile peace between the two sides Suddenly, a large nuuns at each other Battle seeress bar fell to 950, just after Long shi+ shut up and the two sides squared off

shi+ Jin wassuspicious about Long shi+; the man couldn't be allowed in contact with Lian Jun He reloaded his gun—this ti shi+'s expression became evenhatred He struggled and tried to shout, but Zuo Yang stuffed a piece of cloth in his mouth

”It seems your little subordinate doesn't want you to live, Lian Jun,” Zuo Yang drawled He reached for the knife stabbed in Long shi+'s arushed out, spattering on the deck Long shi+'s eyes snapped wide open, and he screa His face rapidly lost color

Uncle Long clenched his jaw and looked away

Zuo Yang wiped the bloody knife on Long shi+'s clothes He glanced at Lian Jun half-hidden behind shi+ Jin, and said, ”Lian Jun, you have to think clearly—if you let your subordinates kill Long shi+, your legs will never get better Let's uy over there It's quite a bargain, wouldn't you say?” He pointed at shi+ Jin and Uncle Long with his knife

The expressions of Gua One and the others beca could really pick people: one was Lian Jun's object of affection and the other his personal doctor with detailed knowledge of his physical condition He wanted to exchange the traitor ouldn't tell the truth even if asked about the weather for these two? It was a bargain, sure—for him!

Lian Jun slid out fro ”You're not in a position to negotiate with et any ofshi+ heard this, he struggled again He stared at Lian Jun ide eyes and actually started to cry

shi+ Jin's mind worked furiously He turned to Lian Jun and whispered, ”Jun-shao, I can…”

”No,” Lian Jun interrupted He looked up at hi doesn't really want you and Uncle Long, he just wants ive in, the initiative will fall out of our hands”

Of course, shi+ Jin understood this, but… He glanced at Long shi+'s face, pale froht be tortured to death”

”If he dies, he dies—from the er have anything to do with us,” Lian Jun replied He took shi+ Jin's hand, urging, ”Put the gun away, Uncle Long will take care of this”

Uncle Long will take care of this?

shi+ Jin blinked, puzzled The next un fro shi+ His ever-steady hand was trehtened, relaxed, then tightened again; it was obvious he was struggling

”You force your subordinate to kill his son—you really are a cold-blooded son of a bitch, aren't you, Lian Jun?” When Lian Jun still refused to rise to the bait, Zuo Yang sneered and pulled the gag froled to turn to face Uncle Long and cried pitifully, ”Dad! Dad, I'!Don't kill me, dad, I was just confused I just lost my head for a moment! You said you would always protect 's hand shook harder, and his eyes were red, but he gritted his teeth and said, ”The sin you co you should've been full of gratitude, but for you to actually try to kill Jun-shao… You're worse than a beast The worst mistake I've ever made in my life was to accept you asoff our father-son relationshi+p”

And he pulled the trigger, the bullet ai hadn't expected hi shi+ down to the deck After barely avoiding the bullet himself, he snapped, ”Do you truly not care about your life, Lian Jun? This is your only chance to save your life!”

Lian Jun signaled Gua Five to support Uncle Long, who staggered after firing the gun as if that one shot had cos only toto so, your provocations are useless—Long shi+ has never been my weakness Let alone trade, I would refuse to take hiave him tobig?” Zuo Yang's expression sank Abruptly, he sneered aloud and waved his hand, co his subordinates Heshi+ and tie the other end of the rope to the deck fence Then he threw Long shi+ off the shi+p

”What's going… Aaaaah! Help! I don't want to feed the sharks! Help! Dad! Dad, save htlessness woke the led just over the surface of the sea Ile and screa at the sound On his face, there appeared a kind of weary apathy He shrugged off Gua Five's hand and stepped towards the cabin, no longer caring about ould happen

Lian Jun glanced at hi too low to see the situation on the deck He didn't know Uncle Long had left and continued to beg him for help Sometimes, he would call Lian Jun His voice sounded pathetic

Night fell The government shi+p had quietly left, and there was no ht—the whole sea was shrouded in darkness, except for a few lights on the two vessels

Zuo Yang leaned on the deck fence, lazily grazing the rope tied to Long shi+ with his knife He said, sht now This time, I won't help him avoid the bullet Aren't I kind? Haven't you alanted to get rid of the traitor? I caught hi to thank me, hmm?”

No one on the Annihilation's shi+p spoke Gua One and the others watched Long shi+, as struggling less and less, with tense expressions and clenched fists—if he died, they would lose their last hope to obtain the poison for continued to act nonchalant: ”Oh well, never ive you a chance to get Long shi+, just… Let's see, Gua One and Gua Two, and the kid—get in the boat and coe to untie the rope, I'll let you have hian to make plans, shi+ Jin also looked at Lian Jun It was obvious they were asking for his consent

“Go inside,” Lian Jun said as if he hadn't heard Zuo Yang's words

Gua Two couldn't help but call out, ”Jun-shao”

”Go inside,” Lian Jun repeated, his tone brooking no objection He turned to Gua Five again, ”It's getting late Get ready to set off”

Gua Five hesitated for a moment, clearly torn, but obeyed Gua One and Gua Tanted to speak; in the end, they stayed silent, but their expressions were unwilling

”Jun-shao” Before shi+ Jin could stop hirabbed the wheelchair

Lian Jun looked at hi better without the antidote, even if just for you It's clear that Zuo Yang wants to exchange Long shi+ for the lives of the three of you, but I'll never amble”

Even if just for you

When shi+ Jin heard these words, his heart skipped a beat His hands unconsciously tightening on the wheelchair, he said, ”You never planned to get Long shi+ back, right? You said youto mollify me, weren't you?”

Lian Jun didn't answer, only attempted to take his hand

shi+ Jin promptly broke away from his hold

”shi+ Jin” Lian Jun paused, then lowered his hand He looked up at hie, and he's et the poison fore to snatch hi to risk your lives when the return is likely to fall short of the cost”

”Forto be considered in terms of costs and benefits” For the first time, shi+ Jin showed a cold expression to Lian Jun Suddenly, he turned away and strode towards Nine Eagles' shi+p

Lian Jun's face changed He hurriedly asked Gua One and the others to stop him

”You don't have to stop me, I'm not suicidal,” shi+ Jin said before they rushed towards hi, whose expression he could see clearly at this distance, and snarled, ”Dream on, none of us will take risks for a traitor If you have the balls, throw Long shi+ in the sea to feed the sharks right now It's not easy to threaten Jun-shao, is it? Suck it up, you useless trash!+ Jun-shao will definitely live to a hundred even without the antidote, and you… fucking drop dead, 's face disappeared, and his expression hardened ”I advise you watch your et yourself killed,” he drawled

shi+ Jin sneered at hiain, and turned around Then, coe

Before today, no one had ever seen shi+ Jin genuinely angry Not quite sure how to react, everybody looked at Lian Jun
