Chapter 122 Offering Goodies in Exchange for Your Life?
"Ooh!"
Li Dong felt like crying, he knew exactly what was in the chicken soup!
The arsenic in the chicken soup had been added by Li Dong himself, and the consequences of drinking it were self-evident.
Although Li Dong was extremely reluctant, he knew that if he didn't drink it, he might suffer an even crazier fate.
With trembling hands, he raised the bowl of chicken soup and drank it in despair. Li Dong then quietly laid on the ground, waiting for death, "Are you satisfied now? Haha… Ye Fan, I'll tell you, you can't fight them, the higher-ups will surely avenge us… Your Ye Family will be exterminated sooner or later…"
Li Dong struggled to stand up and after waiting a few dozen seconds, he found himself unharmed?
Li Dong was somewhat puzzled, picked up the bowl from the table, and looked at it, "I'm okay? So, the chicken soup really wasn't poisoned? Haha…"
Unable to help himself, Li Dong burst into hearty laughter, his life was not doomed after all!
But while laughing, Li Dong suddenly couldn't laugh anymore; blood started pouring from his mouth, eyes, and nostrils. His body instantly fell to the ground and began to convulse violently.
"You…"
In just a few seconds, Li Dong's body went limp, motionless like a dead dog, void of any Vitality Force. Explore stories on M V L
He had brought this upon himself!
Ye Fan glanced indifferently at Li Dong and turned to look at the Poison Master, "Now it's your turn!"
"Young Master Ye, spare me… I… I was forced…" The Poison Master looked at Ye Fan approaching him with a face full of terror; his body was completely immobilized, unable to move, and the look of utter fear in his eyes had reached an extreme.
"Do you think that's believable?" Ye Fan picked up a kitchen knife and gestured between the Poison Master's legs, scaring him so much that his whole body trembled and he wet himself.
He was literally scared to pee himself!
Ye Fan fanned his nose, still staring intensely at the Poison Master without saying a word.
The sharpness in his gaze made the Poison Master's heart shudder in fear. After a few seconds, he finally collapsed, "I confess, I'll talk… The owner of Tiancheng Food Co., Ltd., Li Cheng, hired me to act. He promised ten billion, and also, he promised me a share of the Ye Family's Mystery Map Fragment, which is said to lead to the Heavenly Palace. The Heavenly Palace once housed Divine Ruins, filled with numerous treasures, and some Fragments that could bestow immense benefits..."
The Poison Master revealed everything he knew to Ye Fan. Seeing that Ye Fan's gaze still did not seem to spare him, he continued helplessly, "Young Master Ye, I have good stuff on me too, I have a Fragment… I'll give it all to Young Master Ye, please spare my life!"
Before Ye Fan could act, a maid stepped forward and emptied the Poison Master's pockets.
There were several bank cards, a cell phone, and some other miscellaneous items.
What caught Ye Fan's attention was a purple stone wrapped in something that seemed to suppress the strong and ancient energy fluctuations inside.
Is this the so-called Divinity Fragment?
Ye Fan picked up the Fragment and released his Perception to feel it. He could clearly sense powerful energy fluctuations inside, and the aura within seemed to have a faint connection with the Inheritance force within Ye Fan's body.
However, now his grandfather and the Ye Family's Direct Lineage Force were still in Building Beyond Building, and the danger was not yet over. Now was not the time to study these things.
"Young Master Ye, can I be released now?" The Poison Master saw a change in Ye Fan's expression and thought he might finally have a chance to live, and hurriedly spoke, "There are also tens of billions in those bank cards, the password is six sevens, all given to Young Master Ye, just pleading for my life to be spared!"
The Poison Master truly didn't want to die. He was still young and had already reached the strength of the Grandmaster Realm. If he could seize other opportunities in the future, he could completely break through to the Martial Venerable, or even the Martial Saint Realm's strength, and significantly increase his lifespan.
"Alright!"
Ye Fan responded with a word, pocketed the Fragment, and stood up to walk out of the kitchen door.
The Poison Master felt relieved, just starting to ease his breath when Ye Fan's maid made her move.
Pfft!
The maid's dagger plunged straight into Poison Master's heart and dantian.
Life force began to dissipate instantly from Poison Master's body, and disbelief flashed in his eyes, "Beauty... Ye... didn't Young Master Ye say he would spare me... you..."
As Poison Master spoke, blood started flowing from his mouth and nostrils.
"Hmph! My young master might have spared you, but we don't wish to!" the maid sneered as she withdrew the dagger and collected the bank cards, "You scum who wished to annihilate the Ye Family, and you still expect to live? Dream on!"
Poison Master felt the cold in his body and convulsed violently a few times, a look of despair flashing in his eyes before his body slumped down, devoid of strength.
Until the very last moment, Poison Master regretted it deeply.
He deeply regretted listening to Li Cheng's temptation and participating in this operation.
He had completely underestimated the profound depths of the Ye Family's resources, and, most importantly, Ye Fan was no longer the fool he used to be, his strength far exceeding the Martial Venerable Realm.
...
Meanwhile, at Tiancheng Food Co., Ltd.'s headquarters, in President Li's office, Li Cheng paced back and forth anxiously with his phone in hand.
He was waiting for the news from the Building Beyond Building Hotel!
If today's plan succeeded, then Young Master Zhou would surely reward him greatly, making it possible for him to take control of the entire Southwest.
At that time, Tiancheng Food Co., Ltd. would be a first-rate family business in Great Xia, and his status and power would definitely reach a new peak.
However, half an hour had passed, and there was still no news from the Building Beyond Building Hotel!
Suddenly, Li Cheng remembered that his computer was connected to the hotel's surveillance system. He immediately opened the surveillance to check the hotel's main entrance.
Seeing Ye Changfeng and those direct lineage followers of the Ye Family enter the hotel, a smug look appeared on Li Cheng's face.
These old fools, once they enter the Building Beyond Building, as long as they take a sip of water, they won't be leaving alive today!
Suddenly, Li Cheng saw a peculiar person on the surveillance footage!
Ye Fan?
It was not surprising for Ye Fan to arrive here, but Li Cheng was shocked to see that Ye Fan had actually knocked the doormen flying and was leading people directly to the main kitchen?
Judging by Ye Fan's demeanor, he hardly seemed to be the fool everyone thought he was!
Not good!
Li Cheng hurriedly switched the surveillance feed to the main kitchen. As soon as the image appeared, Li Cheng gasped in shock.
The person in charge of Building Beyond Building, Li Dong, and Poison Master were both lying on the ground motionless, and the other chefs also showed no signs of life.
"Something has indeed gone wrong!"
Without any hesitation, Li Cheng frantically began to grab his phone and picked up a pre-packed suitcase, ready to flee the office!
If the poisoning plot failed, he knew he wouldn't stand a chance against the Ye Family's retaliation...
But just as Li Cheng reached the door, it opened from the outside, and several Martial Arts experts stared intently at him, "President Li, in such a hurry to go where?"
