Bai Zhengyi had always been an exceedingly cautious Old Fox. Although this ti he felt the plan was foolproof, he still did not take action personally. Instead, he dispatched his trusted followers, while he himself remained comfortably seated at the Bai Family’s stronghold, awaiting news from his subordinates.
When Dr. Li presented ten doses of the SEP-4 formula, Bai Zhengyi, although greatly tempted, managed to suppress the urge to ingest it himself and instead left the opportunity to Bai Yi. He was quite the strategist; if the drug had issues, he would have no worries since he hadn’t taken it. And if the drug indeed worked, with Bai Yi becoming a Level 4 Superpower User, he didn’t have to worry about his confidants harboring any traitorous thoughts!
This ti, to assassinate Zhao Qiankun, he had deliberately sent out Bai Yi along with five other Level 4 Superpower Users—a total of six Level 4 Superpower Users. Bai Zhengyi’s greatest apprehension was Zhao Qiankun. In his view, as long as Zhao Qiankun was out of the picture, the Qiankun rcenary Group would pose no real threat. With six Level 4 Superpower Users plus other Level 3s, eliminating Zhao Qiankun would be more than achievable.
The White Wolf rcenary Corps had four remaining Level 4 Superpower Users. Besides the one who stayed by his side for protection, the rest—three individuals—had all been sent to the Qiankun Hotel, assigned to capture Zhao Qiankun’s confidants and lover.
However, while Bai Zhengyi was anxiously waiting in his study, the n he had dispatched to the Qiankun Hotel had already beco ensnared in an ambush that had been prepared well in advance. Just as the three Level 4 Superpower Users were about to act, they suddenly found that their superpowers had sohow beco stagnant, unexpectedly becoming uncontrollable!
This disaster left them horrified. They had only recently ascended to the lofty status of Level 4 Superpower Users, and now, not only had they been abruptly stripped of their powers, they had also beco as good as crippled! How were they to accept such a drastic and earth-shattering change?
The remaining Level 3 Superpower Users were unaffected, but the Qiankun rcenary Group had long been prepared. How could they, these few, possibly stand a chance against their opponents?
They were trapped in the hall when suddenly a man and a woman appeared upstairs. These two individuals were very familiar to them—one was called Yang Bo, a trusted subordinate of Zhao Qiankun. The other woman was Han Lingxi, not only Zhao Qiankun’s favorite but also a famous singer before the apocalypse, extrely charming to look at!
Earlier, these two had been observing the surveillance feed from a room. Now, seeing that the three Level 4 Superpower Users had fallen into the trap, they no longer had any concerns and stepped out directly.
Seeing their ergence, one of the Level 4 Superpower Users said, "Yang Bo! What have you done to us?"
Even though Han Lingxi was a Level 4 Spiritual Power User, Spiritual Superpower Users differed from other superpower users; unless she intentionally revealed her level, it was not easy to detect on a daily basis. Moreover, being Zhao Qiankun’s woman, she had never shown her combat talents openly, her powers of seduction usually deployed so subtly and effortlessly that the victims were unaware.
Therefore, many were oblivious to her true strength, and it was easy for them to underestimate her, treating her like a delicate flower that needed nurturing. She had always been adept at masking her true nature, even convincing Zhao Qiankun that she was a harmless Demon.
At this mont, even though the three Level 4 Superpower Users sensed sothing was amiss with their bodies, they overlooked Han Lingxi and instead confronted Yang Bo, suspecting him of foul play.
Yang Bo smiled smugly, gazing down at them from his high vantage point. He recalled the proud mont when they advanced to Level 4 and couldn’t help but sneer, "I haven’t done anything to you; you can’t bla for this. Did any of you think about why—if SEP-4 was really that good—Bai Zhengyi wouldn’t keep it for himself, but rather let you have it?"
Even at this juncture, with victory apparently within his grasp, Yang Bo couldn’t resist stirring the pot with such comnts, deliberately sowing discord.
The dormant suspicion in the minds of the n below was a terrifying thought they dared not contemplate deeply. Now, having their suspicions confird by Yang Bo, they felt a chill in their hearts and anger at Yang Bo’s instigation.
The man who had spoken earlier lifted his head, glaring at Yang Bo with eyes full of rage, and bellowed, "Yang Bo, don’t think you can create dissension! Commander Bai is not the person you’re making him out to be! Besides, if SEP-4 really had issues, why would he let Young Commander Bai use it?"
