Chapter 2799 - 2801: Mutual Benefit in Unity, Mutual Harm in Division

"Xiao Chen!"

Everyone turned to look at that figure.

That’s right, it was Xiao Chen!

Gu Xuan shot to his feet.

The experts around him sealed him up tight in protection.

The guy was scared pissless.

He’d laid down layers upon layers of people all around.

If Xiao Chen came over, there’s no way it’d be this silent.

How the hell did he get here.

No one outside even sent word.

It was like seeing a ghost.

And the worst part was, the hostage had actually been snatched by Xiao Chen.

He’d originally planned that if Xiao Chen showed up, he’d use the hostage to threaten him.

If Xiao Chen dared to make a move, he’d kill Xue Lan or Xue Mu.

Worst case, mutual destruction.

Drag a few down with him.

But what was he supposed to do now?

This was just completely dumbfounding.

"Surprised?"

Xiao Chen checked Xue Mu and Xue Lan’s condition.

He fed each of them a medical pill.

"Take good care of your daughter."

Xiao Chen said to Xue Mu.

Xue Mu was an expert too.

But just now, because his daughter was in someone else’s hands, he didn’t dare resist.

With him here, if the other side wanted to hurt Xue Lan, it’d be very hard.

"How did you get in?

Why didn’t my people report anything?"

Gu Xuan asked, panicked and uneasy.

"Because they’re all dead."

Xiao Chen said lightly.

Then he lit a cigarette.

Started smoking.

In the void, a few more figures suddenly appeared.

Bai Qi, Deng Taisui, Li Tiangang, and Wang Jinxian showed up from four different directions.

All of them stood on the concrete slabs.

The whole abandoned building was almost fully completed.

So there were still plenty of footholds.

"Boss, they’ve all been taken care of."

Bai Qi cupped his hands.

Xiao Chen nodded, then looked coldly at Gu Xuan and said, "You really are damn stupid.

I already gave you a chance to live.

And you just had to pull this stunt.

Even if I wanted to keep you alive, I can’t anymore."

"Bullshit, I don’t believe it, I don’t believe it."

Gu Xuan was trembling all over from fear.

He didn’t believe it, but inside he couldn’t help believing.

Xiao Chen had already made it in here.

Were his people really going to be safe and sound?

No matter how he thought about it, it didn’t seem possible.

"Fine, whether you believe it or not has nothing to do with me.

I’m just curious, what gave you the guts to take such a risk?"

Xiao Chen smoked as he asked blandly.

"What gave me the guts?

You bringing it up almost made me forget.

Do you know what kind of people I’ve got around me?

They’re all top experts of Canglan Sect.

Every one of them is no weaker than that traitor Liu Gan.

There are only five of you.

Do you really think you can win?"

As if he’d suddenly remembered something, Gu Xuan started laughing.

His originally terrified expression turned confident again.

"Is that so?"

Xiao Chen glanced at those people and said mildly, "Just this, and they dare call themselves experts?

Gu Xuan, oh Gu Xuan.

You really are stupid to the core.

You have no idea who you’re actually up against."

He spoke as he walked toward Gu Xuan.

"Don’t come any closer!"

Gu Xuan talked tough, but in his heart he was still scared.

He’d never figured out why Liu Gan had inexplicably defected to Xiao Chen.

Xiao Chen stopped, smiled, and said, "What are you afraid of? Weren’t you here to discuss business with me?

Right, what are you all still standing around for? Get lost.

There’s no one outside who can stop you now.

There are cars on the road, hail one and go back yourselves."

He looked over at Fang Xue and the others, his tone cold.

He really, really disliked these people.

But it hadn’t reached the point where they needed to die.

Some things, it’s better they don’t find out.

"Divine Doctor Xue, you should go back too."

Xiao Chen said, "I’m planning to give this Gu Xuan a lesson, and I don’t want anyone watching."

"Mr. Xiao, I’m not leaving. You risked coming here to save us.

How could I just abandon you.

Let’s fight together."

Xue Mu said.

Xiao Chen sighed. "Forget it, send your daughter to the car first, then come back."

"Alright! Wait for me."

Xue Mu led Xue Lan outside.

Fang Xue and the others left as well.

As she was leaving, Xue Lan glanced at Xiao Chen.

The man she used to look down on was now so towering, so worthy of admiration.

She swore.

No matter how much Xiao Chen hated her.

She was going to become friends with him.

Even if it cost her everything.

"Alright, the irrelevant people are gone.

Let’s talk. What is it you actually want?"

Xiao Chen asked.

"You should know already. I want the God Healer Alliance’s resources.

Ideally, the God Healer Alliance submits to Canglan Sect, submits to our Gu Family.

No—to me alone, working for me personally.

If you agree to that, I guarantee you won’t lose out, and I won’t trouble your friends or family anymore, how about it?"

Gu Xuan said.

If he could have a trump card like Xiao Chen.

Then in the fight for the Family Head seat, he’d be like a tiger with wings.

He wasn’t lying.

He really did intend to recruit Xiao Chen.

And then treat him well.

Too bad he chose the wrong method.

Too bad he also picked the wrong man.

Xiao Chen smiled faintly. "Do you know who I am?"

"What does who you are have to do with any of this?"

Gu Xuan couldn’t understand.

"Of course it has something to do with it."

Xiao Chen said, "I can overlook what you’ve done.

But my identity doesn’t allow me to be your dog.

Got it?

If I dared swear loyalty to you,

you wouldn’t even dare accept."

"Hahaha, who the hell are you that I wouldn’t dare accept?"

Gu Xuan burst out laughing. "You seem to have forgotten something.

No matter what your identity is.

Today, my men outnumber yours.

And they’re stronger than yours.

If I want to kill you, it’s as easy as turning my hand.

Wanting you to serve me is just because I value talent.

I think you’ve got some skill.

Don’t go refusing the face I’m giving you.

I’m telling you.

If you work for me.

We both profit.

That’s absolutely a win-win.

When I become the Gu Family Patriarch in the future, I won’t treat you badly.

But if you insist on being my enemy.

Even if you don’t die today.

You’ll have offended Canglan Sect and offended the Gu Family.

Do you really think you can keep living?

Canglan Sect alone can make your Chenhe Group half-dead.

If you add the Gu Family on top of that.

Do you think you’ll still have any chance?

Be smart.

Follow me and everyone benefits.

Cooperation brings mutual profit.

Break with me and we both lose!"

Gu Xuan felt he’d already made everything very clear.

Reasoned with him, appealed to emotion.

Xiao Chen had no reason to refuse.

"Sigh."

Xiao Chen let out a breath. "You still haven’t figured it out?

From the moment you provoked me.

Your bad luck was already set.

When I spared your life, it wasn’t because I was afraid of the Gu Family, I just didn’t want to rack up more killings.

But you don’t know what’s good for you.

So today you’re going to Hell.

But before you die, I’ll let you understand one thing."

He waved his hand.

All of a sudden, a torrent of Defense Army soldiers rushed in.

Dense, packed, you couldn’t even tell how many there were.

At their head was Jiang Wuyue.

"Mr. War God King, Defense Army Commander of Central Plains City, Jiang Wuyue, reporting to protect you."

Jiang Wuyue snapped a salute.

He was thrilled.

Being able to serve the War God King in something like this was a supreme honor in itself.
