Chapter 2424 Expensive Soul Illusion Silver! The Mysterious s.p.a.ce Realm s.p.a.ce! (2)
"I look familiar, right? Take a closer look," w.a.n.g Teng approached with a smile.
"Gasp!" Chad drew in a sharp breath. "You! You! You!"
"Do you recognize me now?" w.a.n.g Teng asked.
"w.a.n.g Teng!" Chad finally regained his senses, his face filled with shock. He finally recognized w.a.n.g Teng.
As a member of the Black Skull Universe Pirates, how could he not recognize w.a.n.g Teng? They had known about w.a.n.g Teng"s terrifying achievements in the battle on the Five Burial Stars long before and knew that he was someone they couldn"t offend.
Hence, when he saw w.a.n.g Teng right in front of him, he almost jumped out of his chair in fright.
w.a.n.g Teng"s reputation was too great. Being able to kill a universe-stage martial warrior, even as a ninth-level heaven-stage martial warrior himself, he didn"t dare to act arrogantly.
But for some reason, he felt completely powerless as if all the strength had been drained from his body, rendering him unable to muster any force. This sent a sinking feeling through him.
"You poisoned me?" Chad"s face changed drastically as he turned to look at Payne.
He never imagined that someone he trusted so deeply, his savior, would conspire with others to harm him.
"Cough, Chad, you"re overthinking it. I didn"t poison you. You"re just drunk." Payne coughed nervously.
w.a.n.g Teng: …
Didn"t expect Payne to be quite the character.
Tracy and the others glanced at Payne in disbelief, never expecting him to spout such nonsense.
"Do you think I"m stupid?" Chad erupted in anger.
"Well, you"re not exactly the brightest," Payne muttered under his breath.
Chad: …
"Alright, let"s end the reunion here." w.a.n.g Teng waved his hand.
The poison in the wine was precisely what w.a.n.g Teng had given to Payne. With his expertise in poison and alchemy, concocting a poison that even heaven-stage martial warriors couldn"t resist was a trivial matter for him.
The key was to make the opponent ingest the poison without any suspicion.
Ordinary heaven-stage martial warriors would undoubtedly be cautious and wouldn"t easily consume food given to them by others. Even if they did, they would inspect it discreetly beforehand.
So initially, w.a.n.g Teng had simply regarded it as an attempt. Success would be ideal without much effort, and if it failed, he could resort to direct action.
However, he hadn"t expected the pig-human race martial warrior to be so easily fooled. He drank the poisoned wine without any suspicion, completely unaware.
This saved w.a.n.g Teng a lot of trouble.
As w.a.n.g Teng approached, Payne immediately stepped aside respectfully and invited him to sit down with utmost sycophancy.
"You got bought by him?" Chad looked at his former friend in disbelief. He never imagined that this Chad w.a.n.g Teng would have connections with universe pirates.
"What"s so surprising? Do you expect me to continue being a universe pirate with no future when I can follow a promising member of the Academy Arbitration a.s.sociation?" Pai En retorted.
"You!" Chad was too angry to find words, exclaiming, "I"m done being your friend."
"Come on, we"ll still be good friends in the future," Payne insisted.
"Enough arguing, let"s get to the point," w.a.n.g Teng interjected enthusiastically from across the table. "Your name is Chad, right? Come, look into my eyes."
"Pah! I don"t need a friend like you." Chad glared at Payne with disdain.
"Enough arguing, let"s get to the point," w.a.n.g Teng interjected enthusiastically from across the table. "Your name is Chad, right? Come, look into my eyes."
"What for?" Chad, still furious, didn"t think twice and turned to face w.a.n.g Teng, only to meet a pair of crimson eyes.
w.a.n.g Teng directly activated both the Enchantment and Bewitch techniques to control Chad. Fortunately, his spiritual power limit was three times that of an ordinary cosmos-stage martial warrior, or else controlling a ninth-level heaven-stage warrior like him would have been impossible.
He found that the spiritual cultivation of the pig-human race martial warrior in front of him was very low, only at the fourth level of the heaven stage, making it effortless to control him.
Payne, along with Tracy and the others, watched the scene unfold with muscles twitching involuntarily. They were controlled by w.a.n.g Teng in the same way, weren"t they?
Witnessing it firsthand made it difficult for them to accept, and their scalps felt like they were about to explode.
Soon, the crimson light in w.a.n.g Teng"s eyes disappeared.
Chad also snapped out of his trance, looking at the black-haired youth before him with astonishment.
What happened just now?
He had no memory of what had just occurred as if someone had extracted a portion of his memory.
"Don"t be afraid, I won"t kill you," w.a.n.g Teng said calmly.
But Chad didn"t believe him for a moment. He immediately checked his body for any abnormalities but found none. Yet, for some reason, he couldn"t muster any resistance against the black-haired youth before him. It was as if this young man had absolute control over him.
Disbelief spread across his face.
The black-haired youth before him was an enemy of the Black Skull Universe Pirates. How could he possibly submit to him?
"What have you done to me?" Chad"s face turned pale, his voice trembling as he asked.
"Nothing much, just some small tricks to make you obedient," w.a.n.g Teng replied casually.
"Small tricks!?" Tracy and the others couldn"t help but twitch their mouths.
If this was considered small tricks, then what would be considered big tricks?
"What is your purpose?" Chad knew that the other party wouldn"t tell him everything. He tried to calm himself down and changed his tone, asking in a deep voice.
"My purpose is simple. I want you to help me infiltrate the Black Skull Universe Pirates," w.a.n.g Teng said, rising to his feet, his voice calm.
