Chapter 468: Don’t Be Too Nervous
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Lin Qiao was quietly standing beside Duan Juan, leaning against the wall. She saw Li Hongsheng and the others come back here when she was outside, so she followed them down here to see if she could find any useful information. To her surprise, she saw Duan Juan in this place.
Based on their conversations and att.i.tude, she knew that Duan Juan and Li Hongsheng were the leaders of this group of people.
She knew Duan Juan. Among all those people, the latter was the only one she knew. Obviously, she was happy to see someone she knew in this place.
However, the conversation between Duan Juan and Li Hongsheng made her heart sink.
Yang Jianhua should die!
But before she killed him, she might be able to make a deal with Duan Juan and her people.
She looked different now, so she couldn’t possibly show her face and talk to Duan Juan like an old friend. She knew the latter, but the latter didn’t know her by her new look.
“But, I think it’ll happen soon,” Li Hongsheng answered Duan Juan’s question about when Yang Jianhua and his people would leave the base.
“Are we… are we gonna let that animal leave just like that? Because of him, we’re homeless now, and so many people have died! Even Netherworld Fire died because of him! Are we gonna let him leave without paying for what he did? I don’t think I can!” One of the others said with a strong hatred.
Hearing that voice, Duan Juan paused for a second, then turned to look at that person. That was a kid, about thirteen years old. His voice was still tender, yet contained a deep and thick hatred.
Hearing Duan Juan talk about leaving, the boy couldn’t help but let out the anger in his heart.
The others turned their flashlights to the boy and saw the wrathful look on his face. They all shared the same feelings as him. However, what could they possibly do? They didn’t have the power to kill Yang Jianhua. Not to mention Yang Jianhua, they couldn’t even defeat his subordinates.
Duan Juan sighed as he walked to the boy and said, “We don’t want to let him go so easily, but what can we do? We are not strong enough to kill him now. We can try, but we will die. Have you forgotten our friends who left earlier and never came back?”
There used to be more of them. At first, over a hundred of them gathered together. Many of those people hated Yang Jianhua and Long Yubai so much that they couldn’t help but want to kill them.
Back then, Yang Jianhua hadn’t returned yet, and Long Yubai was in the base. He had powerful subordinates, so every time those survivors launched an attack, some of them died. The same thing happened a couple of times, after which, Duan Juan and the others in this room became the only ones left.
The boy clenched his teeth and popped his eyes, which contained such a strong hatred and intent of killing as he said, “Everyone else is dead. That’s exactly why we can’t let that sc.u.m live! Juan, please think about it! I don’t want their death to mean nothing…”
While he was speaking, his widened eyes suddenly turned red.
Duan Juan looked at him, feeling as angry as him. She too wanted to cut Yang Jianhua into pieces, but she couldn’t. Trying to kill Yang Jianhua right now was no different from trying to kill themselves. What could she possibly do?
“No, we can’t do anything to him now. We have to wait until we’re powerful enough. We need to stay alive. As long as we’re alive, we will have an opportunity to take revenge. Listen to me, what we need to do now is survive!” He patiently comforted the others.
“If I kill Yang Jianhua for you, can you do one thing for me?” Suddenly, a voice was heard among the group.
The storage room wasn’t well illuminated, so when the strange voice was heard, everyone on the scene paused in shock.
“Who is it!” Duan Juan reacted the first. She raised her gun so quickly that the others barely saw her move. In just a blink, they saw her raising the gun and alertly looking around.
Soon, the others realized what just happened, and all quickly pulled out their guns, pointing at Lin Qiao who showed up behind Duan Juan abruptly.
Duan Juan reacted really fast. Seeing the others staring behind her, she immediately turned and stepped away.
Lin Qiao raised both hands and said with a faint smile, “I’m here to help. Don’t be so nervous!”
She glanced those people who had moved as far away from her as possible, then fixed her eyes on Duan Juan’s face.
At that moment, Duan Juan was as shocked as everyone else. She didn’t understand how Lin Qiao came in here so quietly. But soon, she gave Li Hongsheng a quick glance. Seeing that he was shocked as well, she had a guess.
She guessed that Lin Qiao sneaked in when Li Hongsheng and his people came back.
At that time, people had turned their flashlights to the door and watched Li Hongsheng and the other few come in one after another. No extra person was found.
However, Duan Juan was sure that Lin Qiao was brought into this place from the outside by Li Hongsheng and the others.
“Who are you? How did you get in?” Duan Juan stared at Lin Qiao. The look in her eyes remained extra calm, but still, her movements had shown the others that she was already preparing to attack.
Lin Qiao flashed across the air and disappeared in front of everyone else, leaving Duan Juan and the others stunned and panicking. Soon, those people started searching throughout the storage room.
The storage room wasn’t large or crowded. There was nowhere for that suddenly appeared strange woman to hide.
“You don’t need to know how I got in. I only want to know if you want Yang Jianhua dead or not,” Lin Qiao showed up before Duan Juan again as she looked at her and said, “Relax! If I wanted to hurt you, I wouldn’t even need to show up in front of you. Can you put the gun down?”
She believed Duan Juan’s judgment. That was why she talked to her patiently instead of directly taking away those people’s weapons.
“Who the h.e.l.l are you? Why would we believe you!” A man raised a pistol as he stared at Lin Qiao and yelled nervously.
Duan Juan gazed at Lin Qiao for seven or eight seconds, then slowly put her gun down.
“Duan Juan!” Seeing that, the others were all shocked. They didn’t expect Duan Juan to believe that strange woman.
Duan Juan put the gun back into the holster, then raised her right hand which was wearing a combat glove.
“Put your guns down,” she said.
“Duan Juan, do you believe her?” The others didn’t do what she said. Some even glared at her and spoke angrily.
Duan Juan turned back and glanced at the others who were all nervous, then said, “She has invisibility. If she wanted to hurt us, she wouldn’t even show up. She can easily kill all of us and we wouldn’t even know. Li Hongsheng, can you sense her presence?” She looked at Li Hongsheng and asked him a question.
Li Hongsheng quietly glanced at Lin Qiao, then put his gun down as well. “I can’t,” he said.
