”I know the Night of the Cross!” the bar-browed htly
He hadn't said much, but Chen Mu was immediately certain of his counterpart's identity”You are a card artisan of the Night of the Cross?”
”Yes!” The bar-browedbreath control, weren't you?” Without realizing it, he'd used the honorific for the bar-browed man flash a look of disappointment, he added, ”But, it came froot excited”Do you kno to do breath control?”
”I do”
”Might I ask where you learned breath control?” The bar-browedhis excitement as he very carefully askedIt was hard to believe such a cold and ruthless felloould use such a cautious toneIt was clear the question was very important to himPerhaps it actually reflected a firm belief for the bar-browed man
Chen Mu suddenly felt so ti it over, Chen Mu said rather apologetically, ”I'm very sorry, but it wouldn't really be convenient foraway about thethe bar-browed , he didn't want to trick him eitherThat's why he spoke like that
The bar-browed man wasn't even surprised by that answerHe lowered his head to think for a second and then looked up”Would you be able to use breath control for me to watch?”
Chen Mu shook his head”The side effects of breath control are too powerful, and I wouldn't use theain except as a last resort” He iht of the Cross card artisanBut, I let you down since I aht of the Cross card artisansIf I get tangled up with you again, I won't be so polite”
Chen Mu's tone was quite calh involuntarilyIt made clear he was able to do as he said he would
The bar-browed man shook his head”I don't have any ill intent toward youBy this tiht of the CrossI wonder what the conditions would be if I wanted to study breath control with you”
”Study breath control?” Chen Mu was taken aback, and he rushed to shake his head”There's no use thinking about itThere is no way I would teach you breath control” It was no joke; there wasn't anyone who understood how dangerous breath control was more than Chen MuIts poas sufficient to turn an ordinary card artisan into an ace, not to ht do for someone like the bar-browed h Chen Mu ad to cause himself trouble because of itHe still hadn't determined if he was an ene so foolish
”I could serve you; 20 or 30 years would be fine,” the bar-browed ht his counterpart would want to sacrifice so much to learn breath controlChen Mu stared at him and asked one word at a time, ”Why do you want to study breath control so much?”
”The enerations, and even the one who taught ht of the Cross since I was small, but I only knew later that one couldn't be considered a true Night of the Cross without breath control” The bar-browedabout ht there was anyone who could do breath controlBut, having now discovered there is, of course I have to learn how” The bar-browed h he were saying soht for a moment and still shook his head”I won't teach you breath controlYou can leaveI hope to never see you again”
”No ht be, I can
”No matter what, I won't teach you” Chen Mu's response was just as firement, when he stopped and turned around to say, ”I know this womanShe's Lu Xiaoru from the Central Island FirmI hope that is useful to you” He then left
After waiting for the bar-browed man to leave, Wei-ah opened his mouth”Why did you insist you wouldn't teach it to hierous!” Chen Mu's expression was sternIf Chen Mu were to use breath control then, he was quite certain he would be a lot stronger than any time beforeBut, Chen Mu wouldn't dare use breath control because its side effects were too powerfulWhenever anyone else saw it, they mostly saw its power
”Maybe you think breath control is more powerful than it is,” Wei-ah said ed”But, we don't have to take the risk, do we?”
Wei-ah gave an expression of agree to Lu Xiaoru on the floor, he said, ”What's this woman's problem?”
”I'm not so clear on that” Chen Mu shook his headThere was that s with the red light flashi+ngHe carefully studied it for a while and still couldn't get any inklingHe said with some doubt, ”It seems I was this woman's objectiveBut, I don't knohy she would be interested infor so for?”
”The fish tank” Wei-ah wore a natural expression, though Chen Mu was in a shen he heard that
When Lu Xiaoru ca in front of herChen Mu had reinal faceLu Xiaoru very quickly discerned who the person who'd made a sneak attack from behind had beenThat tender, youthful voice was identical to this youth's voice
Between the two in front of her, Chen Mu atching her coolly, and Wei-ah didn't really need to show any expression since he was already cold and ruthless enoughLu Xiaoru was secretly shockedThose two, one big and one small, looked to have very similar temperaht awayFor the youth to be so awesome, she surmised the other one must be even more so
She understood her situation in a flash, and to play out any thoughts she ht have had at such a time wouldn't benefit herIf it were only the youth alone, sheseduction, but there were two of them thereThere was no way to use that trick, of course
Moreover, she understood the huht Wei-ah's eyes, she knew his mind was as hard as steel—as ruthless and cold toward himself as he was toward othersAny kind of enticement in front of such a person would be in vain
She looked extre on a great perforHe hadn't thought his own use of the communications array would invite so much troubleHe basically hadn't paid any attention to the co so covetedHe only then realized its value, along with that of the thousand kilometer cardHowever, he didn't have the least ambition and would have preferred if they weren't worth anything
He sighed to himself that the world was so full of disputesBy then, he understood why the little ball had been vibrating and why Lu Xiaoru had targeted him as her objective
Chen Mu immediately shut down the communications array, and for safety he removed the thousand kilometer card from his apparatus
”What should we do about her?” Chen Mu pointed at Lu XiaoruShe beca at the most critical moment
”Kill her” Wei-ah looked utterly indifferentLu Xiaoru's face went pallid
Although that was the expected result, Chen Mu still felt so itChen Mu didn't have anyan enemy in battle, but he didn't feel he could kill Lu Xiaoru like that
”Don't you have any suggestions?” Chen Mu asked, stalling
Taking a look at Chen Mu, Wei-ah said, ”This is the safest wayBut, the decision is in your hands”
That was the agreement between Chen Mu and Wei-ah; whenever they were at odds, Chen Mu had the last wordWei-ah would carry out the agreeht, but he was basically different fro more than a cardI can help youI'htI can do anything” Seeing Chen Mu a little hesitant, Lu Xiaoru rushed to add ery, so they will never recognize radually revealed itselfHer tone also become more stable”I can take you to the Central Island FirmI knohere their most state-of-the-art lab isYou can find out why they are so against youIf you can't trust me, you can administer some poison, so you can be sure I won't ly nodded”I think that could be all right”
Chen Mu was stunned, not quite daring to believe Wei-ah would be so easy to convinceHe then saw Wei-ah take out some kind of pill and stuff it into Lu Xiaoru's mouth
