Chapter 1015: Chapter 1012: Negotiation of Life and Death
"Young Master Zhao, I’m begging you, please don’t do this!"
Zhao Si cried out in fear; he truly didn’t want to kill anyone, nor did he want to die just like that.
"You must go kill him! Hurry, or I’ll be more than just angry, and it’ll be more than just killing you!"
Zhao Wuji’s mad words made Zhao Si’s face change dramatically: "My mother is innocent!"
Zhao Wuji laughed maniacally: "Innocent or not, that’s for
to decide. Anyway, it’s just a worthless servant; killing him poses no hassle to . Now, have you thought it through?"
"I... have thought it through."
Zhao Si muttered sowhat dazedly.
He really couldn’t believe that Young Master Zhao would turn out to be so malicious.
If he didn’t perform to satisfaction, he would use his mother as a threat.
Doesn’t this add up to the plan he had previously proposed?
Wasn’t the driver forced to death in the sa way?
Filled with regret, Zhao Si barely had ti to think before Zhao Wuji’s shout ca again: "Get over here, hold the knife properly!"
"Yes!" Zhao Si responded shakily, walking slowly towards Zhao Wuji.
"Hurry up, you useless wretch!"
Zhao Wuji was more anxious; this was a mont where every second counts, and this coward is so timid?
Zhao Si took a deep breath and walked quickly to Zhao Wuji, his body trembling uncontrollably.
"Useless! The knife’s in my pocket."
Zhao Wuji cursed and spat out a mouthful.
Zhao Si dared not speak, squatted down, and with shaky hands, extracted a dagger from Zhao Wuji’s pocket.
He stared at the dagger, feeling his body tense like a rock.
"Useless! Get over there and kill him!"
Zhao Wuji both cursed and instructed: "Rember, stab it into the heart! One blow to kill. If you can’t kill him with one blow, I’ll take your blood for sacrifice afterward!"
He’s seen it now.
Soone like Zhao Si is just a servant; you can’t go without beating or scolding.
Only with more severe beatings and scoldings will he earnestly do things.
What’s strange is that Zhao Wuji found Zhao Si not moving.
His expression beca rigid, his eyes drifting, as if contemplating a major life decision.
"Do it, you waste!"
Zhao Wuji roared again and spat forcefully at Zhao Si’s pant leg: "Do you want your lowly mother to die?"
"Sorry, I don’t want that."
Zhao Si finally spoke, his tone carrying unprecedented determination,
He took a deep breath: "I’ll do it."
"Good, for a useless wretch, you’re wise!"
Zhao Wuji displayed a satisfied smile.
Slice!
A crisp sound, his smile froze on his face.
His head lowered slightly, eyes scattered with fear and confusion.
A dagger penetrated his chest entirely, disappearing into the depths.
Life faded within a second.
When Zhao Wuji’s mind went blank, completely dead, one simple thought lingered.
Did this damn waste actually dare to kill ?
Witnessing Zhao Wuji’s death.
Zhao Si held the dagger, walking slowly towards Qin Hao.
His face stiff and lifeless, as if utterly possessed.
Qin Hao didn’t expect Zhao Si to kill Zhao Wuji.
He was originally imrsed in shock.
Seeing Zhao Si with the dagger approaching, he snapped out instantly, replaced by a bitter smile.
The Night Emperor, seemingly destined to perish at such a petty person’s hands?
As Zhao Si ca closer, Qin Hao saw the man’s hands still trembling, but his face was unusually cold, perfectly contrasting his cowardly past.
He couldn’t help but acknowledge, even a coward when driven to desperation can have a mont of madness.
The phrase "a cornered dog will leap over a wall" rings true.
Qin Hao closed his eyes, opting for ignorance.
Clang.
The clear sound echoed in his ears.
The dagger dropped?
Qin Hao opened his eyes, indeed, the dagger fell to the ground, and Zhao Si’s stiff face turned to terror.
"I actually killed Zhao Wuji?"
Zhao Si was full of regret, almost tearing up.
"Why cry? At least you did it cleanly, without causing him any pain."
Qin Hao didn’t know what to say.
Anyway, he’s still fine; it’s better to comfort this fool first.
"You!"
To Zhao Si, this wasn’t comfort, but pure mockery.
He subconsciously bent to pick up the dagger: "I..."
"Stop!"
Qin Hao started in fright. Finally seeing a chance to survive, how could he miss it?
He spoke fluently: "If you kill , you’ll end up dead too, why do that?"
"If I don’t kill you, I won’t die?"
Zhao Si was sowhat perplexed.
Qin Hao’s heart rejoiced, this guy could be worked with!
He then adopted a heartfelt expression: "Think about it, if you kill , there’ll be no one to take the bla for you."
Zhao Si’s eyes lit up: "You an, let you live so the Zhao Family thinks you killed Zhao Wuji?"
"Exactly." Qin Hao continued to persuade: "Plus, if you spare my life, I’ll be very grateful."
"No!" Zhao Si suddenly shook his head: "If I kill you and say you two died together, the Zhao Family will still believe , won’t they?"
"Wrong!"
Qin Hao shouted: "Are you an idiot? To the Zhao Family, Zhao Wuji is a direct heir, the next successor; you went on a mission with him, he’s dead, and you’re alive, do you think the Zhao Family won’t be angry?"
"Of course, they would." Zhao Si was shouted into so confusion and mumbled.
"In their anger, you’ll beco the object of their wrath!" Qin Hao was full of exasperation, "But if I am alive, the object of their wrath would only be , and you would still have a chance to live. If I died, with nowhere to vent, they’d take it out on you, including your mother..."
"No one can hurt my mother!"
Zhao Si crazily shouted, "The Zhao Family can’t, not even the Celestial King!"
"Exactly, that’s the point."
Qin Hao saw he was nearly done, "So, are you going to kill
or not?"
"I..."
Zhao Si threw the dagger to the ground, full of despondence and pain: "I won’t kill."
"Good."
Qin Hao smiled and said: "You cleverly devised this trap to kill , you’re smart, and we can work together in the future."
Zhao Si bitterly laughed: "It’s all because of those old Qian Family mbers, they insisted on telling
this intel, if I didn’t know, I wouldn’t have devised the trap, nor got involved in this ss!"
"Qian Family?" Qin Hao squinted.
"Yes! Those few old n opposing Qian Jinhua! They told Zhao Wuji you were attending a banquet..."
"No wonder." Qin Hao understood now, his whereabouts should have been secret, under normal circumstances would not be known.
Zhao Si quickly showed regret: "Though they can’t be blad entirely, hadn’t I seen Qian Jinhua heading to your office, the family wouldn’t have investigated, nor linked these together."
"You followed ?" Qin Hao was more oppressed, he hadn’t realized he’d been trailed?
"No, I just squatted at Fenglin Company’s entrance." Zhao Si’s tone was filled with dejection.
"That’s pretty impressive nonetheless!"
Qin Hao was even more surprised, after all, he was the Night Emperor of the Dark World!
Yet, he didn’t realize he was being tailed by a lazy Martial Artist?
