Chapter 1245: Chapter 1257
Chu Ge still couldn’t figure out why that other person, soone he didn’t even know, would want him dead.
Hesitant inside, Chu Ge heard Zhang Tao say angrily, "This person’s na is Pang Ming, and he’s an old enemy of mine. My grandfather and big brother were killed because of a plot they devised!"
Chu Ge looked at Zhang Tao in shock; the anger on Zhang Tao’s gaunt face didn’t seem fake.
At so point, an extra gun appeared in Zhang Tao’s hand. It was equipped with a silencer, aid at the people kneeling on the ground as he said coldly, "Don’t bla
for being ruthless, bla yourselves for choosing the wrong side back then."
With a dull bang, one of them collapsed in a pool of blood.
The others were terrified, shaking uncontrollably as they knelt there.
"Boss Zhang, we’ll join you! We’re willing!"
"Yes, Boss Zhang, we want to follow you. Please spare us!"
Chu Ge sat quietly, watching as his gaze swept over Zhang Tao and the people repeatedly. If it were him, he wouldn’t take these people in.
Only at the most critical mont can you see a person’s true nature. If they can betray Pang Ming to save their lives, they’d surely betray Zhang Tao as well.
He thought, Zhang Tao shouldn’t be foolish enough to spare those who’d betray their master, otherwise, he wouldn’t have made it to his current position.
Just as Chu Ge expected, Zhang Tao didn’t intend to spare them. In his cold eyes, the icy light reflected on them. He smirked coldly, "If you can betray Pang Ming, you’d surely betray
too. Do you think I’d trust a traitor?"
"No, no, no. We genuinely want to follow you, Boss Zhang. It’s true! You must believe in our sincerity!"
"Yes, Boss Zhang, I beg of you, please spare us."
"Boss Zhang, we actually know about Pang Ming’s latest moves. If you spare us, I’ll tell you."
Zhang Tao squinted at them, lips curling into a mocking smile, "Oh? Is that so? Go ahead, tell
what he’s planning now."
They looked at Zhang Tao doubtfully, "Boss Zhang, are you going to let us go?"
Zhang Tao smiled as he chuckled, "It’s not impossible to let you go. Show
your chips, so I can see if they’re worth enough lives. If they’re not, I certainly won’t spare you. If they are, then you’ll be lucky."
"They’re worth it, definitely worth it!"
"Yes, Boss Zhang, this news is significant, definitely worth it."
Chu Ge frowned, watching them, "Given the significance of the matter you claim, how can you ensure its authenticity? Furthermore, as re underlings of Pang Ming, how would you know about such important matters?"
Zhang Tao suddenly looked at Chu Ge with surprise in his eyes, not expecting Chu Ge to be so perceptive.
But he wasn’t wrong; it was precisely what Zhang Tao doubted.
If Pang Ming were planning sothing major, how could he possibly let these underlings know?
These people likely ca up with so lies just to save their lives by deceiving him!
Thinking of this, Zhang Tao abruptly raised his gun again, aiming at them, "I warn you, if there’s even a hint of falsehood in your words, you’ll die on the spot!"
The people were extrely frightened, bowing their heads, sweating profusely on their foreheads.
"Boss Zhang, our lives are in your hands now; how could we dare lie?"
"Yes, Boss Zhang, believe us. What we’re saying is definitely true, truer than gold!"
Zhang Tao sneered, "Indeed, lately I’ve heard so rumors. Heard Pang Ming has so moves recently, not sure what he’s preparing. If you know and speak out, I might just spare you."
Zhang Tao paused before continuing, "But if you dare lie, I’ve got another thod to make you wish for death, unable to live or die!"
It’s said Zhang Tao is vicious and ruthless; they’ve long heard of it. Now, fallen into Zhang Tao’s hands, they can only bla their ill fate. They have no other choice now.
"It’s all true, all true!"
"Then speak quickly!"
Zhang Tao placed the gun on the table, muzzle aid at them, coldly humming.
"It’s like this, Jie once got drunk when we bought him drinks and accidentally spilled it to us."
"Jie said recently Pang Ming has been recruiting Ancient Martial Artists, likely for so significant plan."
Zhang Tao frowned, recruiting Ancient Martial Artists?
"What does he want by recruiting Ancient Martial Artists?"
Zhang Tao asked.
"Heard... heard..."
That person started stuttering.
Zhang Tao suddenly turned anxious, grabbed the gun from the table aiming at them, demanded, "What do they plan to do? Speak up!"
"They want to deal with you and Qian Youquan, they want... to monopolize everything."
Upon hearing, Zhang Tao sneered, "With just Pang Ming? Hoping to monopolize everything? Ha-ha."
Seeming to think of sothing, he asked again, "How many Ancient Martial Artists has he recruited?"
The people took a breath and looked at Zhang Tao, trembling, "Boss Zhang, does the information we gave count as valuable to you?"
"Deciding your fate is up to . It’s not up to you to question!"
Zhang Tao slapped the table, stared deeply at them, shouted, "Speak up, how many Ancient Martial Artists has Pang Ming recruited?"
"Already over twenty."
Seeing Zhang Tao’s anger, they quickly responded.
Zhang Tao stroked his chin in thought; he himself was an Ancient Martial Artist, but due to incorrect cultivation, he went astray. Thankfully, he survived, but his ridians got blocked, eventually evolving into his current state.
He understood the destructive power of an Ancient Martial Artist and knew that a hundred ordinary people couldn’t rival one. But now Pang Ming had recruited over twenty of them.
It seems this ti he’s put in great effort and intention, wanting to wipe out both him and Qian Youquan!
After speaking, they fell silent, kneeling, not daring to breathe in fear Zhang Tao might change his mind and execute them.
Zhang Tao remained silent for a long while, staring ahead, pondering.
Suddenly, his eyes moved a bit, regaining his senses.
Gazing at his gun, his lips curled into a cold sneer, "Has anyone ever told you how foolish you are?"
