Chapter 269: Humans’ Counter Attack

Across the glass pane, Wang Tong finally saw Ma Xiao's face, and a tear streaked his face right away.

Wang Tong never felt so concerned about someone's well being that he knew he would give up his life for her. Before he met Ma Xiaoru, he never felt so happy and sad for anyone or anything. The whole world meant nothing to him, but after he had found his true love, Ma Xiaoru had become his world, and she meant everything to him.

Ma Xiaoru lied in the medical bay as if she were sleeping. Ma Dutian's request had given him a sliver of hope. It was a fight he had to win, and nothing would be able to stop him.

Li Ruoer watched the development with curiosity and questions. She didn't expect Ma Dutian to be so friendly with Wang Tong, much less accepting Wang Tong's request of proving himself.

The marriage between the two houses came at a very high price for the Ma. Not only were they going to send their daughter to the Li, but also all the secrets of the VAPE battery. It was also the most critical matter on House of Li 's agenda. If things didn't get hairy again on Norton, Li Shiming would have returned earth and focused on wooing the bride and her family.

The real intention behind the Enchantress's sudden change of heart to help Wang Tong was much more devious than it appeared. She had wagered that Ma Dutian would reject Wang Tong's request outright, and therefore, Wang Tong would completely lose hope. Without the hope supporting Wang Tong, Li Ruoer reasoned that he would collapse from within very quickly.

She had not been deceived by Zhou Sisi's little trick. After all, she was merely playing along just like everyone else. However, even with the loaded dice, Wang Tong was still the biggest winner in this rigged game.

Had Ma Dutian done it in the name of love? No.

Li Ruoer knew that sentiments such as love belonged only to ordinary people in the streets. There was only one motive in Ma Dutian's decision: to gain the upper hand against other Great Houses.

But, Wang Tong was just a nobody compared to House Li. So, how did he manage to persuade Ma Dutian?

Wang Tong turned around and was startled by Li Ruoer, who was standing behind him. Li Ruoer was surprised when she saw the tear streaks on Wang Tong's cheeks. She never expected to see Wang Tong being emotional, much less cry.

Wang Tong felt that he owed her a favor. If it were not for Li Ruoer, he would never have gained the chance to prove himself to Ma Xiaoru's father.

Family background aside, Wang Tong believed that he was the worthiest of Ma Xiaoru's hand.

The two of them left the villa quietly. Wang Tong knew that it was time for him to act.

Li Ruoer wanted to ask Wang Tong many questions, but she was not sure where to start. Her mind raced as she wondered if she had spoiled her bother and father's plan. They had forced house of Ma to a corner by using Ma Xiaoru's recovery as a bargaining chip. But, Li Ruoer knew that it did not mean that Ma Dutian wouldn't change his mind on the issue of the marriage.

Li Ruoer figured the only saving grace of this development was that she had gained Wang Tong's trust. Soon, Li Ruoer would be able to unleash the real power of the Enchantress onto the unsuspecting victim.

At the thought of Wang Tong's suffering, Li Ruoer's lips curled up into a faint smile.

”You got a love problem, Wang Tong? I will solve it for you.” Li Ruoer thought to herself.

Wang Tong had caused her enough problems. Every time they had a run in, Wang Tong was always able to stir up her soul energy by humiliating her. The worse was the last encounter when she had wasted all of her hard-earned soul energy, and so, she had to start from scratch in leveling up. Wang Tong had practically become the biggest roadblock in her cultivation, and had left Li Ruoer with no choice but to do away with him.

Without Wang Tong's disturbance, Li Ruoer would become the youngest person in reaching the highest level of the Tactics of the enchantress among all cultivators except for the creator of the tactics.

She was born with a mischievous and deceiving personality, a perfect match with the Tactics of the Enchantress. She secretly hoped that Wang Tong would be strong enough to withstand her initial attacks, because Li Ruoer's power fed off on Wang Tong's power.
