Chapter 212 Xiao Bing and Poisonous Fox (2/2)
Suddenly, he felt a little uneasy. Even if Zhizi was not here, why didn’t even a servant come out?
Poisonous Fox turned around to run. Suddenly, there was the sound of footsteps upstairs. Xiao Bing came down the stairs. At the door, a huge man appeared from nowhere to block the exit. It was Dumbass.
Poisonous Fox immediately realized that he couldn’t run away. Although he was good at conspiracy and trickery, he was only a weak man without any martial skill. That was why someone like him had to rely on and assist a strong backer.
Poisonous Fox stopped, turned his head, looked upstairs and asked, “Who are you? Why are you trapping me?”
Xiao Bing finally came down and looked at Poisonous Fox. He laughed and said, “The first sentence is to ask me why I trapped you, but you don’t want to know what happened to your woman. You are really ruthless. Poisonous Fox is indeed Poisonous Fox.”
Poisonous Fox frowned and asked, “Who are you?”
“Xiao Bing.”
Hearing his name, Poisonous Fox was even more surprised, but he didn’t show panic. Insteadly, he went to the sofa in the room and sat down. He asked in a cold voice, “What do you want of me?”
Xiao Bing’s eyes flashed with a little admiration. He sat down opposite Poisonous Fox, lit a cigarette, took a deep breath and blew a smoke ring. His eyes were sharp enough to pierce the soul of Poisonous Fox. “Aren’t you afraid that I will kill you?”
“I’m afraid, but you won’t kill me.” Poisonous Fox’s tone was full of self-confidence. “If you wanted to kill me, you wouldn’t waste time talking to me. If you wanted to kill me, you wouldn’t have risked coming to Shangyang City at such a time, looking for no one else but me.”
“So, you’re not here to kill me. You’re asking me to help you.”
Xiao Bing laughed and said, “You are a smart man. I like to cooperate with smart people. Will you help me then?”
“No.” Poisonous Fox earnestly said, “Zhuge is my Master. He has taught me for more than ten years. I can’t betray him.”
Xiao Bing smiled lightly and said, “I’m not asking you to betray your Master, but I’m asking you to betray Lord Long.”
Poisonous Fox frowned and asked, “What’s the difference? Lord Long and my Master are on the same side. If Lord Long is well, my Master will naturally be well. If Lord Long dies, will my Master dwell safely?”
Xiao Bing sneered and said, “Your Master thinks so, but Lord Long may not be of the same mind. Don’t forget your friends when you’ve become rich. But not everyone understands this saying, let alone do it. Lord Long needed your Master’s help when he was younger. Now that he is powerful, your Master has long become a thorn in his flesh.”
Poisonous Fox laughed coldly saying, “Alienating one person from another is what I do best.”
Xiao Bing said, “If you want to provoke a wise man, you have to tell the truth. Listen to me first and then you decide whether I’m telling the truth.”
Poisonous Fox was noncommittal.
Xiao Bing calmly said with a smile, “I’m sure you know yourself what kind of a man Lord Long is.”
Poisonous Fox said, “He values talent, is strong, confident, and has definite opinions.”
Xiao Bing laughed and said, “Definite opinions? Maybe you’re embarrassed to use another word — self-willed. Confidence is also called conceit. What do you think is the most intolerable thing for a conceited person like him?”
Xiao Bing said before Poisonous Fox replied, “The most intolerable thing for a conceited person like him is that his own merits have been concealed by others. In his eyes, everything he owns is because of his effort and his powerful force, and he can’t bear sharing his merits with other, even a little.”
“Frankly speaking, he is the same as Xiang Yu in strength and the same as Liu Bang in mind. Such a person may succeed. After all, he has the greatest strength and power now. But as his follower, if your Master were to overshadow a little of his merit, what do you think will happen?”
Xiao Bing sneered and said, “Your Master being discarded this time is the simplest example. And this is just the beginning.”
