Capítulo 1328: Chapter 1326: White Robe, White Robe!
“Say that again?!” After hearing Black Shadow’s words, the man in the gray robe suddenly had a sharp gaze, “You an, not only do you want to interrupt our cooperation, but you also want to rescue your people?”
“Yes, that’s exactly what we an.” Black Shadow said coldly, “We’ve long had enough of your superior, mysterious ways, and we’ve never been able to figure out your intentions. We’ve always doubted your true purpose. Perhaps you never intended for us to win this war, just put on a facade so that we’d willingly go to our deaths. Otherwise, our situation in the Sika wouldn’t be so dire, and this war wouldn’t have broken out.
Alright, everything ends here. We no longer want anything to do with you. Rescue our people, and our cooperation is completely over.”
The man in the gray robe pursed his lips and let out a light laugh: “How interesting! You all want to cut ties with us, yet still attempt to have rescue your people? On what grounds?!”
“You want to know the reason? Fine, I’ll tell you.” Black Shadow looked directly at the man in the gray robe, “The reason is simple. Among the people participating in the operation, there’s soone like —he knows your true identity and has strong evidence. So if you don’t rescue our people, when he’s interrogated, he will definitely confess. Then you either run or et a grueso end. In any case, you won’t have peace.”
At this point, Black Shadow let out a cold snort, sowhat boastfully saying, “Do you really think the Sika people are foolish, to be manipulated by you and die like worthless tools? You’re thinking too much. Our Sika Kingdom is the oldest country on the continent, not without reason. The Sika people are much smarter than you imagine!”
Hearing Black Shadow’s words, the man in the gray robe fell silent, then, after a mont, looked up, staring at Black Shadow with eyes that beca cold and sharp.
Black Shadow realized sothing, but he didn’t show any fear. Instead, he laughed provocatively: “Ha, what, do you want to kill ? Yes, you’re definitely very angry now and want to kill out of spite. But there’s one question, hope you’ve thought it through: if you kill , how can you be sure who the person who knows your identity is? So, as long as you don’t cooperate and kill , your identity is bound to be exposed!”
“Perhaps…” The man in the gray robe said, his voice fierce, revealing white teeth like knives, “Perhaps as you think. But maybe things don’t need to be that complicated. True, killing you, I can’t know who that person is. But it doesn’t matter, after killing you, I’ll just go and kill all your captured people.
Rescuing them all is difficult, but killing them all is much easier. Besides, you’re right, I’m indeed very angry right now. Since you’ve abandoned us, you’re our enemy now. And we will definitely eliminate our enemies.”
With that, the man in the gray robe acted without hesitation, suddenly reaching for Black Shadow’s neck.
Black Shadow’s face changed, reacting extrely quickly, retreating rapidly, and repeatedly releasing fireballs and acid liquid groups, trying to stop the man in the gray robe.
The man in the gray robe snorted coldly, his body quickly shifting direction, narrowly dodging Black Shadow’s multiple attacks, successfully closing in front of Black Shadow. Then he grabbed Black Shadow’s neck with a “bang”, pressing Black Shadow to the ground.
Black Shadow struggled violently, resisting, but the next second, his body went numb, losing the ability to move.
You could see the blood vessels under Black Shadow’s skin bulge, quickly turning gray, eventually covering his entire skin with a layer of gray, as if petrified.
Black Shadow’s body trembled, eyes wide open looking at the man in the gray robe, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t offset the huge gap in strength—at this mont, he realized that the gray-robed man’s strength was far beyond his estimation.
One second, two seconds, three seconds…
The man in the gray robe kept clutching Black Shadow’s neck, and Black Shadow began to suffocate.
At this point, the man in the gray robe said coldly: “Now I can offer you a chance to live: if you take back what you just said and persuade your people to continue cooperating with us, I’ll spare your life.”
“Forget it!” Black Shadow’s eyes were almost bulging out of their sockets, but he didn’t give in, gritting his teeth, “The Sika people… are not cowards!”
With that, Black Shadow’s whole body suddenly swelled up, and before the man in the gray robe could react, a flash of red light appeared, and there was a loud explosion.
“Damn it!”
The man in the gray robe cursed, quickly retreating backward, ultimately unable to avoid it completely. He saw the gray robe he was wearing affected by the blast, with one sleeve shattered, revealing the sleeve of another robe underneath—which was pure white.
Taking off the damaged gray robe, the man in the white robe glared fiercely at the place where Black Shadow blew himself up, saying nothing—after all, speaking to a dead person, they wouldn’t hear you.
His face looked gloomy as he spat out a breath, stepping on the ground, flying towards the direction of Kasha City, his body soon blending into the vast night.
…
Ti passed quickly.
The night slowly faded, and the eastern sky glowed faintly.
In Kasha City, at Richard’s residence.
Richard got up early, or rather hadn’t slept all night—earlier disturbances had him “exit seclusion” early, leaving so small details unhandled, and after a night, he had finally perfected them.
Richard appeared in the courtyard of his residence, glanced at the eastern sky turning a fish-belly white, and pressed a few parts of his body—both elbows, both sides, left and right waists—as if adapting to sothing, before letting out a light breath and heading to the dining room.
Upon entering the dining room, he was sowhat surprised to find soone already inside, it was Bi Bi.
At this mont, Bi Bi was sitting at the long dining table, which was covered with nurous plates and clay pots. Bi Bi held a piece of bread, dipping it into several suspicious powders on one plate, and then into a suspicious liquid in a pot, sending it into her mouth.
“Hic—hic!”
“Hic—hic!”
Despite the continuous hiccups, eyes rolling, Bi Bi still persisted in eating.
Richard watched in silence for a mont, unable to help asking, “Have you been eating all night?”
“Hic… I’m not just eating… hic!” Bi Bi struggled to swallow the bread in her mouth, explaining between hiccups, “I’m conducting an experint.”
“An experint?” Richard had a strange expression.
Could this even be considered an experint? It seed more like an insult to the word experint.
“I really am conducting an experint.” Bi Bi emphasized, pointing seriously at the items on the table, “I’m searching for the most delicious food pairings, so I put everything I can think of here, testing them bit by bit.”
So that’s what you’re doing… well, it barely counts as an experint… a culinary experint… but…
“But even so, you don’t need to eat until now, do you?” Richard asked.
“Why not!” Bi Bi’s eyes widened, unsure if she was angry or just overeating, “This experint is very complex, using just one kind of bread and another type of ingredient, there are countless combinations. If I use more kinds of bread, it’ll double. And the pairings are not just one type, but two, three, or more, making it even more complicated. Also, considering the order of pairings, it becos unimaginably complex…”
At this point, Bi Bi scratched her head anxiously, “I’ve been unable to rember how many combinations I’ve tested, so I’ve constantly been repeating, leading to not finishing the testing even now.”
Perhaps you need to learn so basic permutations and combinations in mathematics… Richard couldn’t help but think, when suddenly his expression beca serious, sensing sothing, he quickly turned his head to look outside the dining hall.
Within seconds, Bi Bi sensed sothing too, pausing with the bread halfway to her mouth, turning her head to the sa direction.
