"What... did you say?" Yuan He stared intently into Chu Ge's eyes, asking these few words almost word by word.
"No need to look at like that, and no need to doubt your own ears. I did indeed fight that old lunatic, then he died, and then his son also died. I casually blew up his research institute, and then brought you here. The rest you already know. Hmm, is there anything else you're unclear about?"
Chu Ge did not plan to explain to Yuan He earlier because he wanted to first use absolute strength to intimidate Yuan He.
Now that the intimidation was successful, it was ti to tell Yuan He what had happened while he was unconscious.
Only in this way could Chu Ge prevent Yuan He from doing sothing foolish and instead do the things Chu Ge hoped Yuan He would do.
"No... impossible, this is impossible." Yuan He first muttered to himself, then suddenly beca extrely agitated. However, just as he tried to move, his chest suddenly felt heavy and was pinned down by Chu Ge again.
"Whether you believe it or not is your own affair. The fact remains. Once you leave here, you can verify it yourself. Oh, and you've never seen that old lunatic transform, have you? Shall I describe it to you?"
"He grows black, gorilla-like fur and muscular lumps all over his body. So parts of his skin are covered with crocodile-like scales. His hands and feet beco furry claws, his forearms grow shark-like dorsal fin mbranes, and his eyes turn snake-like. Though I don't know the point of it, perhaps it's his sense of aesthetics. Do you like such transformations?"
Chu Ge described vividly, pointing at Yuan He's body as if those changes were happening to him.
Listening to Chu Ge's description, Yuan He's expression beca highly complex, even more so than when Chu Ge had both swords at his throat earlier.
Emotionally, he didn't want to believe Chu Ge's words, but rationally, he realized he couldn't afford disbelief anymore.
After all, Chu Ge had many chances to kill him but never did. If Yuan He previously thought Chu Ge was unaware of his ultimate trump card's power, now he had to admit he was wrong—very wrong.
Since Chu Ge could defeat even the transford Chu Chengrui, would he fear Yuan He's berserk form? Moreover, according to Chu Ge's description of Chu Chengrui's transformation, that form was extrely hideous...
Yuan He was ticulous about his image, like a bird cherishing its feather. Even a speck of dust on his clothes or slightly disheveled hair would agitate him to wrath. Becoming that way would be a tornt for him.
Even if it ant defeating Chu Ge, he'd begrudgingly accept such a transformation. But if he used this last resort, turned into the "half-human, half-demon, half-beast" form Chu Ge described, and still got killed by Chu Ge, he would truly die in vain.
With a despondent sigh, Yuan He finally accepted the fact that he stood no chance against Chu Ge.
"So, tell , what do you want to do?"
Seeing the resignation in Yuan He's eyes, Chu Ge smirked, "What, no longer want to kill ?"
Yuan He snorted through his nose, "Of course I do, but... I can't, at least not openly kill you as I am now."
Chu Ge also laughed, removing his right foot from Yuan He's chest, and withdrew the two crossed swords from Yuan He's neck, casually tossing them aside where they clanged upon hitting the ground.
"Perhaps I can give you an opportunity."
Yuan He coughed a few tis, rubbing the two indentations on his neck while sitting up. Hearing Chu Ge's words, his hands paused in mid-action. Though knowing it might not be useful, he frowned and stayed alert.
"What do you an by that?"
"Not just giving you a chance, but giving everyone who wants to kill a chance."
Chu Ge didn't look at Yuan He, gazing into the distant darkness, as if talking to himself.
Yuan He's frown deepened.
"I almost killed one of your Seven Evil Stars' bosses, Li Hutai's illegitimate son. He must really hate , right?"
Chu Ge asked another question, to which Yuan He coldly replied, "Isn't that obvious."
"Actually, it's not just Li Hutai and Li Zheming who should hate . All of your Seven Evil Stars should. A few years ago, I also killed a senior official from your group. If I recall correctly, his na was Cai Guofan."
"What!"
Yuan He sprang up from the ground, fists tightly clenched, cracking loudly, the raging fury in his eyes ready to burst forth.
As for Cai Guofan, although Yuan He didn't know him well, he had a certain level of respect for him. He was a key cadre with great affinity and was highly competitive for the position of the leader of the "Seven Evil Stars."
Despite Yuan He seemingly ready to take action at any mont, Chu Ge stood calmly in place, gazing into the deep darkness, speaking quietly.
"The Sugimura Group should hate too. When they tried to assassinate the president of the 'Hua War Association,' they sent out nurous experts as death warriors, but I turned many of those death warriors into corpses."
"It's a pity. Although everyone knew the assassination attempts were initiated by the Sugimura Group, no evidence was left behind for either the death warriors or the corpses. In a way, they were formidable opponents."
As Chu Ge spoke, Yuan He's tightly clenched fists unconsciously relaxed a bit. The na of the Japanese "Sugimura Group" was much more significant than the South Korean "Seven Evil Stars." More importantly, he couldn't understand why Chu Ge was telling him these things.
Normally, knowing such secrets was not a good thing. If he had a similar secret known by others, he would eliminate it at all costs in the shortest ti possible.
However... from Chu Ge's attitude toward him from beginning to end, Chu Ge seed not to want to kill him at all.
Yuan He understood Chu Ge less and less, but at this point, he decided to let it go. After all, he couldn't beat Chu Ge, couldn't outrun him, and couldn't even outtalk him. He might as well see what Chu Ge was up to.
"Nadoraso should also hate . Their biggest secret base was blown up by , and Poisonous Fang should hate too. The national treasures they stole from Hua Country were swapped by for fakes, and..."
Chu Ge spoke quietly as if recounting insignificant matters, yet the more Yuan He listened, the more terrified he beca, with cold sweat unknowingly seeping from his forehead.
Perhaps... the words "reckless and bold" were insufficient to describe Chu Ge.
Each organization ntioned by Chu Ge was either renowned or notoriously formidable. Although Chu Ge spoke lightly, Yuan He could fully imagine the kind of danger Chu Ge was in when accomplishing those things. The fact that he survived was nothing short of a miracle.
So of the nas Chu Ge ntioned were ones Yuan He had never heard of, such as "Nadoraso," or the "Kashmos" that Chu Ge was ntioning now.
Even though he hadn't heard of them, Yuan He didn't consider these organizations, unfamiliar to him, to be insignificant. His lack of knowledge only signified his unfamiliarity or suggested that these organizations were shrouded in mystery.
"Actually, to be more accurate, they hate a person with the code na 'Overlord,' and this so-called 'Overlord' is , Chu Ge."
Saying this, Chu Ge finally turned his head to look at Yuan He.
This fierce man, once one of the most outstanding soldiers in South Korea, had participated in organizational selections, shed countless sweat and blood, mixed with the notorious South Korean gang Seven Evil Stars, and then underwent various beast gene experints in Chu Chengrui's underground research lab. At this mont, cold sweat poured down his body, his face bleached of color.
Chu Ge patted Yuan He's shoulder, "Now, do you understand why I'm telling you all this?"
"You... wouldn't be... trying to..."
Yuan He stamred to this point, suddenly shaking his head forcefully, "Impossible, even if you were crazy, it couldn't be possible."
He stared at Chu Ge as if examining a Tyrannosaurus rex from Jurassic Park, instinctually wanting to retreat. Unfortunately, he seed to be under a Body Fixing Technique, unable to even twitch a finger, as cold sweat smoothly flowed from his forehead.
Faced with Yuan He's horrified gaze, Chu Ge chuckled, scratching his head amusingly.
"Co on, I disqualified you, shattered your dream of joining the organization, later wanted to kill your brother's son, and almost killed you twice anyway. From any perspective, we should be mortal enemies, right? Why do you seem to be worrying on my behalf?"
Yuan He hesitated for a mont, realizing that if Chu Ge really attempted that, Chu Ge would certainly die. No matter how he thought about it, he should be excited, so why was he feeling tense?
After a few seconds, a bitter smile ford on Yuan He's face; he finally understood. The whole idea was just too insane, so audacious that rely thinking about it made his scalp tingle. He couldn't control his nervous emotions at all.
Besides, Yuan He realized sothing else, of indescribable complexity in his heart.
Turned out, no matter how much he'd imagined what kind of arduous tasks he'd execute once in that organization, he'd still oversimplified things.
After hearing Chu Ge's words, perhaps... if given one more chance, even if that organization opened its doors to him, he wouldn't have the courage to beco one of them again.
