Super Gene Ⅱ: Evolution - Chapter 224:
Chapter 224: Chapter 224: Netherworld Sulfur Wolf
But the moment Catherine pressed the agree button, the communication was suddenly cut off, and the image on the other side hadn’t even had a chance to project.
“To break the Netherworld Sulfur Wolf’s illusion so quickly, it’s no wonder it’s you,” Catherine said, not angry at all, her face filled with satisfaction.
Her expression was like someone who had found a fun game and wanted to keep playing indefinitely, not wanting it to end too soon. So even if she lost the game, she was still very happy.
“Let me think, how should I continue this game,” Catherine mused, her red lips curving slightly in thought.
Lin Shen broke out in a cold sweat, if it weren’t for Evolution Theory taking effect in time, allowing him to regain a bit of his senses, the communication would have already been connected.
“Just through a segment of footage, it can control a person’s brain, what exactly is that creature,” Lin Shen fretted inwardly, feeling that he needed to be even more careful from now on. He couldn’t casually look at the messages sent by Red Heart A.
It wasn’t long before Red Heart A sent another message, but this time Lin Shen had no intention whatsoever of opening it.
Putting Red Heart A’s matter to the back of his mind, he continued to intensely train various skills.
As the days went by, Lin Shen’s various skills became more refined, and his Base Mutation rate was also about to reach a hundred points.
At Sea Corn Base, not long after Lin Shen had entered Realm King Planet with Lin Miao, all members of the Lin Family caravan were brought into the living room.
“Give me a result,” Wan Guotao said coldly as he scanned them, and his men knew what to do, taking the people away to prepare for severe torture.
“Did I go to the wrong place, isn’t this Sea Corn Base, rather than Splendid Era Base?” a voice came from the outside, and Instructor Mu pushed the door open and walked in.
After receiving the message, he rushed over immediately, but it was still too late.
“Mu Qingchuan, this is a matter for my Wan Family and it has nothing to do with you,” Wan Guotao said coldly.
“You come to Sea Corn Base, wanting to beat or kill my student, and yet you say it has nothing to do with me, I wonder what then, is my concern?” Instructor Mu said as he walked next to Lei and others, looking at Wan Guotao.
Wan Guotao seemed to have some apprehension towards Instructor Mu and was not as domineering as when he spoke with Lin Shen and the others.
“Lin Miao took something from my Wan Family, I must get it back,” Wan Guotao stated.
“What did Ah Miao take from you that warrants such a major effort from your Wan Family?” Instructor Mu asked, frowning.
“It’s none of your business. I must take that item back, even if it means using all of the Wan Family’s resources,” Wan Guotao declared, making his stance clear.
Instructor Mu was somewhat surprised in his heart. This statement from Wan Guotao was to tell him that if anyone attempted to interfere with the Wan Family, they would go as far as mutual destruction to persist, without leaving any room for negotiation.
“Lin Xiangdong’s performance at Jinshui Lake, you must be aware of it, too. It’s best to leave some leeway in life, for future encounters. Let me mediate for you—take the item and leave them with their lives, it would be beneficial for both the Wan Family and the Lin Family,” Instructor Mu suggested.
“There is no room for discussion. I must get the item back, and their lives, I am also determined to end. If your disciple Lin Xiangdong wants to fight to the death, let him come to my Wan Family. As long as he has the ability, he can kill anyone from my family,” Wan Guotao flatly rejected Instructor Mu’s proposition.
Instructor Mu was shocked and had no clue what Lin Miao had taken from the Wan Family that made them so determined to take her life.
Instructor Mu knew this issue was not as simple as just taking an item and was no longer something he could resolve on his own.
The Wan Family has so many Ascenders; he alone, no matter how formidable, couldn’t withstand them all.
Even if all the Ascenders from Sea Corn Base were added together, their strength wouldn’t be much stronger than the Wan Family’s.
“These people are just employees of the Lin Family’s trading convoy. The affairs of the Lin Family have nothing to do with them. I vouch for them; they won’t get involved in the Lin Family’s matters anymore. Please, let them live,” Instructor Mu said, pointing at Lei and the others.
“Fine, I’ll give you, Mu Qingchuan, this face, but you can’t interfere in this matter anymore,” Wan Guotao said.
Instructor Mu frowned slightly, but then Lei suddenly bowed deeply to Instructor Mu, “Instructor Mu, I am truly grateful to you. Although my surname isn’t Lin, I have followed the Lin Family my whole life, and I don’t plan to leave. I consider myself a member of the Lin Family. They are targeting the Lin Family, and I can’t abandon the Lin Family. Even if I die, I cannot watch them harm my masters and Mr. Lin Shen. Therefore, I don’t need your vouch, and you don’t need to promise them anything on our behalf; just be yourself.”
“Instructor Mu, we also don’t need you to make any promises for us. Please just be yourself,” a few of the old household members of the trading team stepped forward and bowed to Instructor Mu.
They weren’t dismissing their lives; rather, they were using their lives to ask Instructor Mu not to give up on Lin Shen and Lin Miao.
Many of the old household members had been with the Lin Family since the days of Lin Shen’s parents, having shed blood and risked their lives with several generations of the Lin Family. They were not just ordinary employees.
They all had life-and-death ties with the Lin Family, and even in their old age, they continued to work for the Lin Family not only for the salary but also for the deep, life-honored bonds.
They feared death, yet their sense of honor made them willing to face the terror of death.
Just as there were such courageous individuals, there were also many who were afraid of dying, quickly raising their voices to ask Instructor Mu to save them.
There was nothing wrong with that; it was just a job, after all, with no need to die for someone else.
Instructor Mu looked at Lei and the others, sighing softly, “If you die like this, you won’t solve anything, and the Lin Siblings won’t have the face to see your families again. The situation here is not as simple as you think. Leave now; there will naturally be someone to deal with this situation.”
Having said that, Instructor Mu turned to Wan Guotao and spoke, “I’ll take the people with me, and I won’t intervene in matters here anymore.”
“Good, I trust your character, Mu Qingchuan. Release them,” Wan Guotao gestured, signaling the Mutators guarding Lei and the others to stand down.
“Let’s go, we can talk more outside,” Instructor Mu interrupted Lei, who seemed to want to say something, and started leading him out.
He wouldn’t leave without the old household members, and as for the others, they didn’t need telling, as they were already running outside.
It wasn’t until they had left the courtyard that Instructor Mu let Lei and the others explain the situation clearly.
He only knew that people from the Wan Family were looking for trouble with the Lin Siblings, but he was unclear about the details.
Lei and the others weren’t sure what was going on either and guessed it might be related to Wan Nianbei, although their explanation was vague.
“This matter is not so simple,” Instructor Mu said with a frown after listening.
“Instructor Mu, you must save our masters and Mr. Lin Shen. Why do they insist on taking their lives and not just the items?” Lei implored.
“This matter is no longer something I can resolve by stepping in. But don’t worry, I will go find Hai Daxiu right away. Only Hai Daxiu’s intervention might save their lives. You go to the Asura Training Camp and stay there for now; I’ll go to Hai Mansion,” Instructor Mu instructed Lei and the others to head to the training camp before he proceeded to Hai Mansion.
Upon hearing that Instructor Mu was going to seek Hai Daxiu’s intervention, Lei and the others showed expressions of relief.
