Chapter 1169: The First Condition for Victory
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
When they heard Yu Wuyuan’s words, they couldn’t help but look up with unconcealed shock on their faces.
Let them leave? Not kill them?
During the days they were trapped in this room, they knew nothing about what had happened in the outside world. Because they had no way to understand, when Yu Wuyuan said that he would let them leave, they did not know why or what had happened.
However, Yu Wuyuan explained nothing else. After saying this, he turned around and left.
“Chi Yang, are you really planning to let us go?”
At this moment, Andrew came back to his senses and quickly asked Chi Yang.
Over the past few days, the person they interacted with the most was Chi Yang. Because Chi Yang prepared and delivered their three meals every day, he would occasionally talk to them.
Chi Yang smiled and nodded. “Of course. Our people went to Italy this time and have already reached a certain consensus with your leader, so you’re safe.”
As he spoke, Chi Yang opened a bottle of red wine and looked at them. “This is the last time I’ll prepare dinner for you. Enjoy it!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Chi Yang turned around and left the room.
The few people in the room looked at each other. It was not that they doubted Yu Wuyuan and Chi Yang’s words, but all of this happened too suddenly. They had already given up hope, but the other party told them they would let them go.
“Could the food be poisonous…”
Louise always felt uneasy, as if the environment had forced out her persecutory delusions. She immediately frowned and looked at the fragrant food on the dining cart.
Andrew said, “Don’t measure the stature of great men by the yardstick of small men. They don’t have to do this.”
Irene slowly stood up and said, “Andrew is right. If the other party wanted to kill us, they wouldn’t have needed such a dirty method of poisoning food.”
With their abilities sealed, they did not differ from ordinary people. If they wanted to kill or skin them, wouldn’t they be fish on the chopping board—at the mercy of others?
Why would they be so troublesome?!
“Everyone, eat. You can leave after eating!” Irene said and picked up her plate to pick up the food she wanted to eat.
Seeing this, the others also moved.
At the dining table in the living room, Jian Ai and the rest were enjoying dinner.
“It wasn’t easy.” Yun Buyao ate Chi Yang’s meticulously cooked dinner with tears in her eyes. She sighed with relief after surviving a calamity. “You don’t know, but we can still eat many international foods in the restaurants of our Italian hotel. There are also Chinese chefs who specialize in making Chinese food. In the end, Leader Hans invited us to stay in the mercenary group’s headquarters and we ate Italian food every day. I loved western food so much that I almost vomited in the end. It was too greasy and sickening. I feel that I’ve gained at least five to six pounds!”
Jian Ai agreed with her. Hearing this, she couldn’t help but nod and smile. “Moreover, Leader Hans is very passionate. He prepared every meal exceptionally sumptuously. It would seem impolite for you to only eat a little. We all braced ourselves and ate crazily! At first, we thought it was ok, but after two days, we couldn’t do it anymore. We couldn’t care less about being polite. I only ate salad and drank coffee for the next few days. The calories were too high!”
Italian food was like this. They put a lot of cheese in everything and used all kinds of meat sauce and soup. In short, the table was filled with calories. It was no wonder that most Europeans were tall and burly. Their food was still very different from China.
The others found it refreshing. They felt that the other party treated Jian Ai and the rest as VIPs in the past few days.
Therefore, they found it interesting and funny. They went to infiltrate the enemy to gather information, but they did not expect them to become friends in the end.
“Leader Hans is quite magnanimous.” Chi Lian couldn’t help but raise her eyebrows with interest. “He lost Prince Qi Ye’s funding because he failed three times on us. In the end, he was still willing to negotiate with us and even became friends.”
“That’s the problem!” Jian Ai couldn’t help but sigh. Her gaze landed on Bai Zhou as she slowly said, “Bai Zhou, do you know why Leader Hans was so kind to us under such circumstances?”
When the topic suddenly landed on him, Bai Zhou couldn’t help but be stunned. Then, he shook his head. However, he felt that the Sect Master seemed to have deliberately led the topic to him. He couldn’t help but ask tentatively, “Is it related to me?”
Jian Ai nodded slightly. “Just as Chi Lian said just now, logically speaking, the other party suffered a setback from us and lost the support of their financiers. They should hate us.”
“But Leader Hans is a very comprehensive person. After losing Prince Qi Ye, a rich man, the first thing he considered was the future of the mercenary group. He needs to find the next person who will fund the mercenary group immediately.”
At this point, Bai Zhou and the rest couldn’t help but look enlightened. Chi Yang couldn’t help but say, “Sect Master, you mean that the mercenary group wants Master to fund them?”
Jian Ai raised her eyebrows and nodded. “That’s what I mean!”
Bai Zhou: “…”
Chi Yang: “…”
When Chi Lian heard this, she couldn’t help but cross her arms and lean back in her chair. She was the first to express her support. “I think it’s possible. With the international influence of the International Mercenary Group, if Bai Zhou can receive their support and protection, it might be a long-term solution. At the very least, those organizations that are afraid of the mercenary group’s forces won’t dare to have designs on Bai Zhou in the future!”
Even the usually taciturn Xiao Zhen said, “Bai Zhou’s identity is special. As a member of the royal family, almost everyone has the support of the dark forces in private. Although Bai Zhou has us to protect him, it doesn’t mean that he can’t have his own forces. If anything happens in the future, they might be useful. I heard that this international mercenary group is very famous. Even if Bai Zhou gives up on them, they shouldn’t have to worry about not being able to find a financier. However, they took the initiative to collaborate with Bai Zhou. I think a large part of the reason is that they think we’re strong enough.”
The combination of the strong was the first condition for victory!
“I knew it. Everyone will choose to support it!” When Yun Buyao heard this, she revealed an expression that said, “I already guessed that this would be the result.” She looked at everyone and said, “From the moment I learned this news, I thought the same as you. Bai Zhou’s attack was not a coincidence. Someone carefully planned all of this behind his back. Moreover, from the frequency of the other party’s assassinations, this Prince Qi Ye obviously wanted Bai Zhou to die quickly. There must be a reason we don’t know.”
