Chapter 535 Poison
"If you're truly loyal, why don't you take your men and come back to the province with me? What do you say?"
Luo Xiaotian looked at Zhao Yang with a half-smile.
Zhao Yang was speechless.
If he really led the Iron Legion to the provinces and regions...
Who knows what kind of situation we'll encounter?
He might be sidelined, have his military power taken away, and then be kicked aside!
In comparison, staying in Jinzhu City and being the local tyrant is the most comfortable thing to do!
Zhao Yang made up his mind that he would never go to the provincial region unless absolutely necessary!
Seeing that he remained silent, Luo Xiaotian simply smiled faintly.
……
By the time the Tiger Gang members returned to their micro-base, it was nearly noon the next day.
Although this battle failed to wipe out the Iron Legion.
But the Tiger Gang also reaped considerable rewards.
Most importantly, Su Chen established a connection with the province represented by Luo Xiaotian.
Upon returning to the base, he summoned a group of senior executives to the conference room.
I briefly recounted my conversation with Luo Xiaotian.
"Hey, it's just a province, why should we even bother with them?"
Wang Yan snorted coldly.
The Tiger Gang almost won last night's battle.
If Luo Xiaotian hadn't suddenly appeared, they probably would have already started a party at the Steel Legion's base.
"You can't say that; after all, the provinces and regions represent the higher-ups."
Liu Jianguo said slowly,
"Besides, we have no idea how strong the provinces are."
"As Boss Su just said, Luo Xiaotian knows the location of the base."
“If we anger the provinces and regions, and they send troops to attack, then we’ll be in big trouble.”
Su Chen nodded slightly, indicating his agreement with Liu Jianguo's words.
"In any case, we don't need to worry about the threat from the Steel Legion for the time being."
"For the next period of time, everyone should focus on hunting monsters!"
"The meeting is dismissed!"
These monsters, which come from secret realms, have bizarre appearances, are strong and robust, and are proficient in various supernatural abilities. They are called demons by the province.
Su Chen also used the same terminology as the province/region.
"Ok!"
Everyone nodded and got up to leave.
"Boss Su!"
As soon as Su Chen left the conference room, Xu Wenyue quickly followed.
"What's wrong, Lao Xu?"
Su Chen asked with a smile.
Xu Wenyue glanced around and whispered,
"What should we do with Zhang Hao and the others?"
After betraying Zhao Yang, the Steel Legion naturally had nowhere to go for Zhang Hao and the others.
Firstly, it's for survival; secondly, it's for staying alive.
They had no choice but to follow the Tiger Gang's convoy to the micro base.
However, without Su Chen's instructions, Xu Wenyue didn't know how to arrange things for them, so he came here specifically to ask for instructions.
"Zhang Hao and the others?"
Su Chen stroked his chin, pondered for a moment, and then smiled.
"Please make sure they are settled in comfortably for now. I will come to see them later."
"it is good!"
Xu Wenyue nodded and turned to leave.
Watching his departing figure, a cold glint flashed in Su Chen's eyes.
……
"Boss Su instructed that you stay here for now, and he will come to see you in a little while."
Xu Wenyue led Zhang Hao and the others to a dormitory.
The environment of this dormitory is not very good.
Compared to Zhang Hao and Dai Yinyi's previous dormitories, these are much more shabby!
After Xu Wenyue left, A-Qiang couldn't help but say,
"That Su Chen... he's such a scoundrel!"
"We helped him take down the Iron Legion, and this is how he treats us?"
"Be careful!"
Zhang Hao gestured for Ah Qiang to be quiet and whispered,
"We're living under someone else's roof right now, so let's not talk so much."
"And Xu Wenyue also said that Su Chen is busy right now."
"Maybe they'll arrange something for us later."
No one said anything more, and each found a bed to rest for the time being.
Fortunately, Su Chen didn't keep them waiting too long.
A short while later, Su Chen pushed open the door and walked in.
"Boss Su!"
Zhang Hao was startled and quickly jumped out of bed.
Dai Yinyi and the others standing nearby also stood up.
At this moment, they no longer had their previous arrogance; instead, their faces were full of humility and ingratiation.
"Consul, Chief of Staff."
Su Chen greeted them with a smile.
"Boss Su, you're too kind. We're not governors or leaders now, we're just your subordinates!"
It has to be said, Zhang Hao really knows how to humble himself!
Su Chen narrowed his eyes and smiled.
"The base is quite busy today, so I'm afraid I won't have much time to greet you."
"But don't worry, you made great contributions in last night's battle."
"I've always been a person who clearly distinguishes between gratitude and resentment."
"After today's busy period, I will arrange for someone to properly settle you all."
"Your treatment at the base from now on will be no worse than it was in the Steel Legion!"
Hearing this, Zhang Hao, Dai Yinyi, and the others breathed a sigh of relief.
Having fallen to their current state, they no longer ask to return to their former glory; they would be content with a comfortable life.
"I'm exhausted from last night, you all should get some rest. I'm going back to rest now."
Su Chen waved his hand, intending to turn and leave.
"Boss Su, please wait!"
Zhang Hao's heart tightened, and he quickly called out to Su Chen.
"Did Boss Su forget the antidote?"
Su Chen slapped his forehead, suddenly realizing what was happening.
"Look at my memory, I almost forgot about that!"
He took a bottle from his pocket, which contained a purple liquid.
"This is the antidote. Just drink a little each, as before."
"Thank you, Boss Su!"
Zhang Hao quickly took the bottle from Su Chen's hand.
Su Chen smiled, said nothing more, opened the door, and went out.
After he left, Zhang Hao looked at the bottle containing purple liquid in his hand.
Just to be on the safe side, he didn't drink first, but instead passed it to someone next to him.
You drink first!
The man immediately looked distressed, but dared not disobey Zhang Hao, so he could only pick up the bottle and take a sip.
Several minutes passed, and the person remained unharmed.
Zhang Hao and Dai Yinyi breathed a sigh of relief and drank the liquid in the bottle one after the other!
However, just as they finished drinking, the first person to drink suddenly foamed at the mouth!
"It's...it's poisonous..."
His skin turned purple, and after a moment of violent hesitation, he collapsed to the ground!
This sudden change took Zhang Hao, Dai Yinyi, and the others by surprise!
After regaining his senses, Zhang Hao couldn't help but burst into a tirade of curses.
"Su Chen, you son of a bitch! I'll haunt you even in death!"
"Let's go, let's fight our way out, and even if we die, we'll take a few of them with us!"
Dai Yinyi immediately stood up, flung open the door, and walked outside.
Zhang Hao and the others followed closely behind him.
But before they could rush out of the passage, the poison had already taken effect.
One by one, they fell to the ground.
