The black-robed figure's desire to deal with Yang Haoran did not co as much of a surprise to Second Son Wu.
However, the fact that the black-robed figure asked him to deal with Yang Haoran was more than just surprising.
"What is inside this black bottle..."
Second Son Wu began with a puzzled expression, gently shaking the black bottle in his hand, feeling the liquid inside moving.
"You don't need to worry about what's in the bottle, and it's best not to investigate it either, or you might end up losing your life without even knowing how. You just need to do as I say and find a way to get the contents of the bottle for Yang Haoran to consu." The black-robed figure spoke.
Although the black-robed figure did not explain what was inside the bottle, Second Son Wu was no fool. He guessed that the small black bottle in his hand likely contained a highly toxic elixir.
Ordinary Night Watch mbers might not have seen or understood what an elixir is, but Second Son Wu was different. He not only knew of the existence of elixirs, but had also seen them before and had so understanding of them. That's why he suspected the liquid in the bottle was so kind of elixir.
As for why he thought it was a toxic elixir and not another type, that was based on the tone of the black-robed figure's speech. When the black-robed figure had responded to him earlier, the tone clearly carried a murderous intent, indicating that the black-robed figure wanted to kill Yang Haoran.
Since the goal was to kill Yang Haoran, it would naturally require a highly toxic elixir to achieve that purpose.
Second Son Wu did not imdiately agree to the black-robed figure's request. His face showed a wry smile, and his expression seed extrely troubled.
"What, you're unwilling?"
The black-robed figure's voice was still as hoarse as before, but now it carried an icy coldness, and the murderous intent had also increased significantly, with a very obvious threatening tone.
"No, no, no, it's not that I'm unwilling, but this task will be extrely difficult to implent. Although I live under the sa roof as Boss, I an, Yang Haoran, he has never had a good impression of , and it will be very difficult for to get close to him. And on top of that, he's always coming and going, so this task will be even more difficult to carry out."
Second Son Wu spoke in a panicked manner, quickly explaining to the black-robed figure, but the black-roared figure was not convinced.
"How you do it is your business, I won't interfere or help, I'll only look at the final result. If the result satisfies , I'll give you two soul pills; if the result doesn't satisfy , I'll send you a coffin."
The threat in the black-robed figure's words was even more obvious than before, and Second Son Wu listened with a racing heart.
"Big brother, big sister, hero! This task is really not suited for , a useless person like . You should find soone else. Yang Haoran has so many people around him, you can find anyone who might succeed, but definitely not , I'm afraid I'll just ss it up."
Second Son Wu spoke up.
"No, you're the most suitable one. I know very well who's around Yang Haoran, and apart from you, the others are unlikely to agree to cooperate with . You'll do anything to save your own life, but the others are not the sa, so I didn't choose wrong in finding you."
The black-robed figure spoke sternly, the disdain in his tone clearly directed at Second Son Wu.
Second Son Wu did not show any anger at the other's contempt, but the troubled look on his face was even more pronounced than before.
The black-robed figure saw the troubled look on Second Son Wu's face and let out a cold snort, coldly adding a sentence.
"If you really feel so troubled, then I can only go find soone else, but you won't be leaving this place today, you can just say goodbye to this world here."
Hearing this, Second Son Wu imdiately panicked.
"Hero, you've misunderstood, I didn't say I wouldn't agree, it's just that..."
Seeing Second Son Wu hesitating, the black-robed figure patiently did not get angry.
"Just what?" the black-robed figure asked.
"Just... is Yang Haoran's life only worth two soul pills?" the Second Son Wu asked weakly.
The black-robed figure did not imdiately respond to the Second Son Wu's question. After a few seconds of silence, he spoke coldly.
"I advise you not to bargain with , or else you will die a miserable death. If you don't believe , you can try it, and it's best to try it now."
The Second Son Wu shuddered, and from his reaction, he seed to have been genuinely frightened by the black-robed figure's words.
"Hehe, well, I was just asking, I didn't an to bargain. Great hero, please don't misunderstand. Since I have no choice, I can only grit my teeth and go for it. However, I can't guarantee a hundred percent success. If I fail in the end, can the great hero spare my life?"
"No, this matter must succeed, not fail. If you fail, you will only have the path of death. Even if I don't kill you, Yang Haoran will definitely not let you go. So if you want to live, you must find a way to make this operation successful," the black-robed figure said solemnly.
This made the smile on the Second Son Wu's face beco strained, but he still nodded slightly at the black-robed figure.
"Sigh, the great hero is right. If I fail, even if you are willing to spare , Yang Haoran will definitely not let go. It seems that I must succeed this ti, or else I will only have the path of death waiting for . Since that's the case, first remove the restriction barrier, and I must hurry back, because I must seize every minute and second of ti."
As the words fell, the Second Son Wu looked at the black bottle in his hand, then put the small bottle in his pocket. However, the black-robed figure did not remove the restriction barrier as he wished and let him leave.
"Don't be in a hurry. Before you leave, take this."
The black-robed figure spoke, then took out a small box from his sleeve. When the box was opened, a round object the size of a thumb was revealed inside.
The Second Son Wu recognized this object, and his heart sank. The smile on his face beca very unnatural, because he knew this was an elixir, and the fact that the black-robed figure took out an elixir at this ti made him have a bad premonition.
"Great hero, you are..."
The Second Son Wu pretended to be ignorant and asked the black-robed figure.
"If it were , would I let you go just like that? I wouldn't feel at ease," the black-robed figure asked.
The Second Son Wu could only smile awkwardly and did not answer the black-robed figure's question, because he could not answer it.
At the sa ti, he also realized what the black-robed figure was about to do to him.
"First, you must take this elixir, and then I will cast a secret incantation on you. Once the incantation is cast, I will be able to know everything you do, including every word you say. If you deliberately reveal this matter to Yang Haoran or anyone else, I will imdiately release the Sealing Technique on this elixir, and you will be instantly reduced to ashes, without even a soul left behind."
Since he knew the secret incantation but still needed to cooperate with the elixir, the Second Son Wu could not know whether the incantation had the ability to kill or if the black-robed figure had other plans. He also could not be sure whether the black-robed figure's words were true or false.
However, the black-robed figure did not give him any ti to consider. As soon as he finished speaking, he handed the elixir in his hand to the Second Son Wu.
The black-robed figure did not continue to speak, but the aning was quite clear - he wanted the Second Son Wu to take the elixir imdiately.
But at this mont, the black-robed figure suddenly sensed sothing and his gaze suddenly turned to the Second Son Wu's pants pocket!
At that ti, the Second Son Wu had one hand inserted in his pocket, and he had just put the black bottle in his pocket without imdiately withdrawing his hand. In normal circumstances, this might not seem unusual, but the black-robed figure was not an ordinary person. He sensed a power fluctuation coming from the Second Son Wu's pocket.
"You dare to deceive !" the black-robed figure roared angrily.
A powerful power fluctuation suddenly erupted from his body, and then, filled with anger, he kicked towards the Second Son Wu in front of him.
Just as the black-robed figure's kick was about to hit the Second Son Wu, a black protective barrier suddenly appeared out of nowhere, enveloping the Second Son Wu's body. The kick did not successfully hit the Second Son Wu's body, but was blocked by the suddenly appearing protective barrier.
Boom!!!
A loud noise, the protective barrier shook violently, but did not imdiately shatter. This scene made the Second Son Wu breathe a sigh of relief, but also startled the black-robed figure.
