Chapter 1516: Surrendering So Quickly?
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
At this time, Ye Feng had already walked in front of Lan Xingyue, he bent down and picked up the dagger made of an unknown material.
It carried some weight in his hand, and he couldn’t help but feel curious.
However, now was not the time to study this. He used the dagger to lift Lan Xingyue’s chin.
“Surrendering so quickly? I thought you would fight to the end. You don’t even have this little courage? I’m so disappointed.”
He mercilessly taunted Lan Xingyue, wanting to see her angry.
However, Lan Xingyue disappointed him. She did not show any anger on her face. Instead, she appeared very calm.
“I don’t want to die under a sniper rifle. I want to have a fair fight with you. If you’re scared, you can kill me with one strike.”
Ye Feng was speechless at her despicable provocation. “Now, as long as I give the order, I can easily kill you, why would I do something unnecessary?”
“As a martial artist, you won with firearms. If word gets out, you’ll become a laughing stock in the martial arts world.” Lan Xingyue gave a reason.
But Ye Feng did not think much of it. “Others can laugh at me however they want, what does it have to do with me? If I cared about other people’s opinions, I wouldn’t be alive today.”
Lan Xingyue stared at him for a long time before sighing. “As a fair exchange, I can answer one question.”
“One isn’t enough, at least three. I can give you a chance to commit suicide.”
Lan Xingyue felt that he had gone too far. “What I want is a chance to fight you head-on, not a chance to commit suicide. If I wanted to commit suicide, I would have done it just now. Why would I surrender to you?”
“Who told you not to commit suicide just now? It’s not up to you now. If you fall into my hands, it will be difficult for you to die even if you want to.”
“Shameless!”
“Whatever you say. You guys wanted to kill me. Why should I talk about etiquette and morality with you?”
Lan Xingyue lowered her head and did not speak for a long time, as if she was thinking about something.
Just as Ye Feng was getting impatient, she slowly raised her head. “Alright, I can answer three of your questions. However, I have one condition. After I die, you are not allowed to mutilate my corpse.”
“Don’t worry about that. I don’t have that kind of perverted hobby.” Ye Feng immediately promised her.
Lan Xingyue nodded. “Go ahead.”
Ye Feng thought for a moment before asking the first question.
“Tell me your organizational structure. How many core members are there? How many are experts like you? I killed Newston before. His code name seems to be the 6 of Clubs. What does that mean?”
“Is this one question or three questions?” Lan Xingyue asked.
“Of course, it’s one question. I just want you to explain the organizational structure in detail.” Ye Feng put on a matter-of-fact expression.
Lan Xingyue wanted to call him “shameless” again. He had completely changed the concept and packaged a bunch of questions into one question. It was simply shameless behavior.
However, he probably wouldn’t care about her insults, so she simply didn’t want to waste her saliva.
She lowered her head and pondered for a moment before answering Ye Feng’s question.
“There are fifty-four core members in the organization, and they all use poker cards as their code names. With every sacrifice, there would be a replacement. There are always fifty-four people, no increase or decrease. The bigger the card, the higher the status in the organization…”
“What’s your code name?”
“Is this the second question?”
“No, no, no. This is the first question.”
“You…”
“Don’t question me. Answer honestly.”
Lan Xingyue was already furious. She felt that if she continued to talk to this guy, she would probably die of anger.
However, she still answered in the end. “My code name is 7 of Clubs.”
Ye Feng’s expression changed. “That means, your position in the organization is higher than Newston’s?”
Lan Xingyue couldn’t remember how many questions he had asked, so she nodded in annoyance.
Actually, this was within expectations.
Because Lan Xingyue was much stronger than Newston, it was reasonable for her to have a higher status than him.
He nodded in satisfaction. “Next, let’s ask the second question.”
Lan Xingyue pursed her lips. He was talking about the second question. Who knew which question this was?
“How many genetically modified people are there in your organization?” Ye Feng asked the question he wanted to ask the most.
If there were a large number of genetically modified people in this organization, it would be a troublesome matter.
But Lan Xingyue’s answer was beyond his expectations. “I don’t know.”
“Do you not know, or do you not want to answer?” Ye Feng suspected that she was hiding it on purpose.
“I really don’t know. The division of labor within the organization is very clear. If it is not within their authority, they are not allowed to inquire about it, or they would be severely punished. I’m afraid only the Lord knows the exact number of genetically modified people.”
She probably knew that these answers would not satisfy Ye Feng, so she could only add another sentence.
“I can only tell you that not all the people in the organization are genetically modified.”
“You mean to say that your organization also has martial artists?”
“Is this the third question?”
“No, this is the second question.”
Lan Xingyue wanted to curse, but who asked her to fall into the other party’s hands? No matter how much resentment she had, she could only push it down.
“That’s right. This is because not everyone is suitable for genetic modification. It would be best if it was someone who had never cultivated martial arts before. Only then would the success rate be higher. And the higher the martial arts cultivation, the more difficult it is to modify. Therefore, the organization does not force everyone to undergo genetic modification.”
As she said this, she looked deeply at Ye Feng. “If you join us now, you don’t need to undergo genetic modification, you can still retain your current cultivation. Actually, you can consider it. With your strength, you will definitely obtain a very high status in the organization…”
“Stop.” Ye Feng hurriedly raised his hand to interrupt her. “You are already on the verge of death, yet you still do not forget to call me to surrender, it seems that you are still very loyal to this organization.”
Lan Xingyue couldn’t help but sigh. “You won’t have a good ending if you go against the organization. You’ll only walk a narrower and narrower path.”
“Haha, you don’t have to worry about that.” As Ye Feng said this, his gaze suddenly turned sharp. “Third question, what do all of you want to do?”
Lan Xingyue was silent for a longer time this time.
The sky in the east had gradually lit up, indicating that the darkness was coming to an end.
Lan Xingyue’s face was already covered in a layer of light. If she was not an enemy, she would still be very beautiful at this moment.
“What’s wrong? Don’t know? Or do you not want to tell me?” Ye Feng saw that she was silent for such a long time, he was getting impatient.
Lan Xingyue looked away from the eastern horizon. “I only know that the organization’s main mission now is to search for the best antiques in the world. As for the motive, I don’t know.”
