Now, Bai Zhengyi and Bai Yi had intended to plot against Zhao Qiankun, but unexpectedly, Bai Yi himself was outmaneuvered and drawn into a trap. Even if he died, it was a just dessert. Fang Yuyang loathed him and naturally couldn’t sympathize with him. He was no saint, and even if "knowing one’s wrong and making amends is admirable," it depended on the seriousness of the wrong committed. Bai Yi was no good from the start, and his death in Luyun County came at the right time. Otherwise, would not the people he had harmed have died in vain?
Fang Yuyang ceased speaking and didn’t bother with Bai Ye, instead he focused his gaze on Zhao Qiankun and the people surrounding him. At this moment, nearly everyone around Zhao Qiankun was from the White Wolf Mercenary Corps, and they clearly harbored ill will towards him. It was unknown where the people normally around Zhao Qiankun had gone.
Looking further at Zhao Qiankun, after the initial shock, he quickly regained his composure, disdainfully eyeing those who surrounded him as if his victory was assured.
Watching this scene, both Bai Ye and Fang Yuyang were somewhat surprised; the shock on Zhao Qiankun’s face earlier didn’t seem feigned. Could it be... his trusted aides not being by his side wasn’t prearranged but an accident? Looking further at Zhao Qiankun following the expression, he didn’t seem worried that the people from the White Wolf Mercenary Corps would harm him.
Doubts arose in their minds, and they paid even closer attention. Indeed, they heard Zhao Qiankun smugly saying, "How do you like the effect of SEP-4? Isn’t it extremely good?"
At these words, the expressions of the five Level 4 Superpower Users surrounding Zhao Qiankun instantly changed, each of them looking at him warily. The others exchanged glances, their wariness coupled with subtle glances at the five Level 4 Superpower Users.
These five superpower users had all advanced to Level 4 through SEP-4, so they were as surprised previously as they were shocked and terrified now. Zhao Qiankun’s few words, though sparse, greatly unsettled them. The expressions of the five fluctuated briefly, then one of them suddenly asked, "Zhao Qiankun, what do you mean by that?"
Zhao Qiankun smiled smugly, even in the midst of being heavily surrounded, his look at these people was akin to viewing ants, he coldly chuckled, "Can’t you figure out what I mean? If you truly don’t understand, why don’t you try using the superpower inside your body and see if it still obeys you like before."
At these words, the expressions of those surrounding him paled; the five Level 4 superpower users looked terrified, while the rest showed a sigh of relief, seemingly glad they hadn’t taken SEP-4. However, when those five superpower users checked the superpower within them, a hint of confusion flashed across their faces.
Again, the previously speaking impulsive man said, "Zhao Qiankun! You lied to me! There’s nothing wrong with my superpower!" As soon as his words fell, he suddenly launched a massive fireball at Zhao Qiankun, which moved directly towards him, seemingly without any issues.
Zhao Qiankun couldn’t help but change color, exclaiming, "How is this possible? How can you be alright?"
