Chapter 214 — A Midnight Conspiracy
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
Never mind the late Yellow Rank — among his own friends there was but one skilled man who had only just reached the early Yellow Rank. Even he merely dealt with Zhong Fabai as an equal, was not at his disposal, and could only be called upon when trouble arose...
And that man alone could already be called invincible across the city. So what kind of formidable existence was the peak of the late Yellow Rank? Black Panther had actually reached such a level? Even if it lasted only a month, that was no small feat!
"Yes, that is what he said." Zhong Yongliang nodded. "Dad, is this peak of the late Yellow Rank very formidable?"
"Very formidable! Formidable beyond imagining! What else did he say to you?" Zhong Fabai drew a sharp breath. Thank heavens he had already extended an olive branch to Black Panther through the lawyer and reached an agreement. Otherwise, once Black Panther was out, the first he would likely come for would be Zhong Fabai himself and his son Zhong Yongliang!
"He said he wants to take revenge on Wei Zhao, and that after the vengeance he will need money to make his getaway. I already agreed!" Zhong Yongliang said. "Dad, I told him the first payment could be one million — you won't blame me for acting on my own, will you?"
"You did very well!" Zhong Fabai said. "A million means nothing to our family — give it to him. If he needs to flee, two million is fine as well! As for his revenge on this Wei Zhao, you stay out of it..."
"Dad, I hate that Wei Zhao too! You have no idea how cocky that brat is. I was in class, sitting beside Gu Mengyao at noon and talking with her, and Wei Zhao decided I was blocking his way in the aisle, so he kicked me head over heels. I'm still sore from the fall!" Zhong Yongliang laid it on thick. "That brat is a stumbling block in my pursuit of Gu Mengyao. He has to be eliminated."
"Oh? In that case, don't get involved openly. Just drop a few hints to Black Panther in private." Zhong Fabai nodded. "Pinliang, you've grown up too. Judging by what you did just now, your father won't lecture you further. If you think it's right, then go and do it!"
"Thank you, Dad!" Zhong Yongliang nodded. "By the way, Dad, I've already given Zhang Naipao the seven hundred thousand..."
"Mm. That man can serve you from now on as well. Seven hundred thousand to buy a loyal subordinate is worth it!" Zhong Fabai said without the slightest pang of regret.
That evening, Zhong Yongliang began pondering how to deal with Wei Zhao. Originally, he had wanted nothing more than to be rid of Wei Zhao at once; he would have been glad to see Wei Zhao run over by a car the moment he got up in the morning.
But now, having witnessed Black Panther's peerless martial arts, and above all having heard his father extol the peak experts of the late Yellow Rank, his mind began to race with new schemes.
The original notion of a quick death for Wei Zhao began to twist into something far more savage! Wei Zhao could not be allowed to die so easily; he had to suffer every agony before he died! Otherwise, the hatred in his heart would never be appeased! This wretch had made such a fool of him, had sent his prestige at school plummeting. The third of the Four Young Devils of the campus had once been so magnificent, and now he had sunk to being mocked behind his back...
If this grudge went unavenged, he would be less than a man! Wei Zhao had to die in agony! Zhong Yongliang clenched his fists...
