The Indifferent Young Master’s Flash Marriage - Chapter 1009
Chapter 1009: Putting On A Good Show
The high priest sat in her wheelchair, her beautiful eyes emitting a thin blood-red light.
He was merely a young man whose was many years younger than her. She had personally given him all the power and status she had, yet he dared to speak to her in such a manner!
The high priest’s hand, which was crippled, trembled slightly. If she had the strength to do so, she would have slapped Jiang Xuecheng’s face a long time ago!
In the past, the high priest had always felt that Jiang Xuecheng wasn’t an easy person to deal with. It was just that her body hadn’t fully recovered yet, and the various powers in the God’s Palace hadn’t completely calmed down yet.
In other words, she needed the help of Jiang Xuecheng!
If a person became useless, they are met with death or a worse end than others. At least for the time being, she still had some use for this young man!
By the time those ambitious people of the God’s Palace were completely eliminated by her, it would be time for her to kick Jiang Xuecheng asa y as well!
Originally, the high priest was still concerned that this man was her sister’s blood and bone. But now, it seemed that such a rebellious nephew was going to make trouble!
…
Just as many evil thoughts flashed through the high priest’s mind, Jiang Xuecheng suddenly spoke up. His expression was ice-cold, but his tone was clearly filled with impatience!
“High Priest, you won’t go back on your promise, right?”
Seeing that the high priest was silent, Jiang Xuecheng snorted coldly.
“You said you wanted to get rid of Fiennes. Now, Fiennes has long been thrown into the wilderness by you to feed the wolves. You want to find Ming Ye. He’s here. Do you want to give me the antidote you mentioned?”
“If not, I don’t mind killing this man with my own hands. You’ve been spending so much effort to find Ming Ye. You don’t want him to die just like that, do you?”
As Jiang Xuecheng spoke, he suddenly glanced at Ming Ye, whose face was pale and his eyes were tightly shut.
As if he had received his instructions, the guard holding Ming Ye’s right shoulder suddenly moved.
A dark laser gun was pressed against Ming Ye’s throat just like that.
This scene was a little horrifying no matter how one looked at it.
Was Jiang Xuecheng trying to use Ming Ye to intimidate her?
It was truly a rebellion!
What a joke! What would happen to all those who disobeyed her in this world?! Fiennes, who had been lying dead in the wilderness not long ago, was an excellent example!
“Are you threatening me?”
Although her limbs were severed, the high priest’s back was upright.
Her frightening beautiful eyes looked towards the Jiang Xuecheng, giving off a faint pressure.
“Your Highness, don’t forget whose territory the God’s Palace belongs to now! I can make you sit on the throne of the emperor, and I can also make you fall at any time!”
Hearing the high priest’s exasperated words, Jiang Xuecheng was extremely calm.
He indifferently looked back at the high priest. His pair of deep and dark phoenix eyes completely hid the emotions within.
“Naturally this is not a threat, but a reminder for you to fulfill your promise.”
Jiang Xuecheng paused for a moment, and then the corner of his lips curled into a mysterious smile. However, under this kind of atmosphere, not only did it not make people feel happy, it actually made them feel even more creeped out.
“I have to remind the high priest of something. Fiennes is indeed dead, and the Siswell family isn’t doing well either. However, don’t forget that the God’s Palace is currently in a state of panic, and the nobles are in turmoil.
“If you cripple me, where will you find such a suitable puppet?”
Jiang Xuecheng rarely threatened people, because there weren’t many people in this world who were worthy of being threatened by him.
The reason why he acted this way to the high priest this time was not to threaten her, but to induce this woman to believe that Jiang Xuecheng had been driven mad by the CHK Virus No.3 in Su Wan’s body.
People like the high priest were the most sensitive and suspicious. The most important thing in putting on such a show was to get Ming Ye to the high priest’s side first.
If the high priest really gave the so-called antidote to the CHK Virus No.3, Jiang Xuecheng would not dare to use it lightly!
After all, if there really was a cure, then why didn’t the high priest remove the virus from her body first?!
…
The high priest stared at Jiang Xuecheng without blinking. The fury in her heart was burning, and it had reached an extreme level!
“Good! Very well!”
The high priest’s expression was gloomy like water. Although the scars on her face had faded a lot, her current expression was a little twisted, and she looked terrifyingly sinister.
She did not have the slightest bit of her previous nobility and elegance!
When Jiang Xuecheng saw the high priest’s anger attacking her heart, his heart actually became calmer.
He wanted to see this woman get carried away by her anger!
In order to prevent the high priest’s thoughts from becoming calm, Jiang Xuecheng suddenly snatched the gun from the guard’s hand and pressed it against Ming Ye’s temple!
Jiang Xuecheng glanced at Ming Ye in disgust, as if he was disgusted by this “love rival” and wished he could get rid of him quickly.
“High Priest, have you thought it through? Are you going to give me the antidote to the CHK Virus No.3 or not? I’ll shoot him! A bullet doesn’t have eyes!”
As he spoke, Jiang Xuecheng viciously pressed the muzzle of the gun against Ming Ye’s forehead, as if it could go off at any time!
When the high priest saw this scene, her face alternated between red and white. A hint of anger suddenly appeared on her face.
“Put down the gun. I have a use for this man.”
The high priest’s anxious voice sounded in Jiang Xuecheng’s ears. When he heard that this woman wanted him to let Ming Ye go, Jiang Xuecheng was delighted. He knew that his acting skills had not been seen through.
Jiang Xuecheng’s heart relaxed slightly. However, putting on a show was only the first step. Moreover, this matter concerned the safety of all of them. If things went wrong, all of them would be wiped out. Jiang Xuecheng did not dare to be careless at all.
His expression was cold and gloomy. The spear was still pressed against Ming Ye’s temple, but he did not back down at all!
“I can give you the man, but what about the cure?”
The high priest took a deep breath and finally managed to say these words.
“The cure for CHK Virus No.3 requires a lot of medicinal ingredients. I can’t complete it in a short period of time.”
As the high priest said this, her gaze suddenly shifted to Ming Ye who was still being pressed by Jiang Xuecheng.
“Give me Ming Ye first!”
Seeing that the high priest wanted Ming Ye, Jiang Xuecheng was already extremely happy in his heart. However, he still had to continue putting on a show. His expression was cold, as if he was extremely unwilling to give Ming Ye away just like that.
“If I hand this person over to you, it would be as if I have no more trump cards in my hands. High Priest, how do I know that you won’t go back on your words?”
“You–”
Wasn’t this saying that she had no moral character?
The high priest was so angry at Jiang Xuecheng’s words that she almost vomited blood. However, in the end, she had no choice but to soften her stance.
She had to get Ming Ye first! This person was connected to her life!
Who cared about Su Wan’s life?!
Now that she was infected with CHK Virus No.3, she could not give up on Ming Ye no matter what!
“I’m infected with CHK Virus No.3 myself. Do you think I’m lying to you? It’s just that the research on the antidote takes a long time!”
Jiang Xuecheng looked at the high priest with uncertainty. Just as the high priest was feeling anxious, he suddenly put away his gun and pushed Ming Ye over!
