Chapter 2582 — Another Move
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
In his eyes, Wei Zhao was now a peak early Heaven rank expert, perhaps even a middle Heaven rank one! True, Wei Zhao had revealed only peak middle Earth rank strength just now, but the martial technique he had unleashed was a thirteenth-stance Heaven rank technique—something only a peak early Heaven rank or middle Heaven rank expert could bring forth!
Which meant Wei Zhao must have been deliberately suppressing his strength all along, playing the pig to eat the tiger. So when Wei Zhao's gaze fell on him, his heart turned to ash. "Senior, I... this... I'm only a follower, this has nothing to do with me... it was all Zhuge Junshi's idea..."
"Oh, then take his corpse and get out of here. Tell whoever's behind you that when I have the time, I'll pay your headquarters a visit and settle this account properly! You dared to touch my company—do you have a death wish?" Wei Zhao warned him coolly. Naturally he would not kill this follower; he needed someone to carry word back—and to carry Zhuge Junshi's corpse back with him!
When the time came, with Zhuge Junshi's corpse looking so very, very gruesome, it would be easier for Fatso Feng to rise to power, and the experts at headquarters would have to weigh things carefully. In a place steeped in such grudges, they would do well not to drag themselves into it!
The feud was Zhuge Junshi's doing, and Wei Zhao would find a chance to settle it. Anyone coming here now would only be asking for trouble, wouldn't they? He trusted no one would be willing to wade into these murky waters—and Fatso Feng would rise to power as a matter of course.
"Yes, yes!" the follower answered in a frantic hurry and moved to gather up Zhuge Junshi's corpse and leave.
"Wait. Fatso Lai, find him a suitcase. Carrying him out like that would frighten the company's ordinary employees!" Wei Zhao raised a hand to stop the follower.
"Right." Fatso Lai came back to his senses, and the look he gave Wei Zhao now held even more admiration. One move—and that Zhuge Junshi, so arrogant just moments before, was dead. Was this not power beyond belief?
Wu Chengtian had long heard that Wei Zhao could fight above his rank against Heaven rank experts, but that was only hearsay. Today was the first time he had witnessed it—and Wei Zhao had annihilated a Heaven rank expert with absolute dominance. What did that even mean?
Wu Chengtian counted himself lucky. Both of his bosses were ruthless men—Er Goudan could beat to death a master of the Golden Bell Shield, and Wei Zhao could slay a Heaven rank expert in a single move across ranks. These were no ordinary ruthless men! How right his choice had been back then!
Fatso Lai quickly found a suitcase and handed it to the follower, who silently stuffed Zhuge Junshi's corpse inside, snapped it shut, cast one look of awe at Wei Zhao, and turned to leave the reception room.
This follower, too, had come from headquarters. He had been a lowly underling there, and following Zhuge Junshi to the domestic branch had been a matter of immense honor—do it well, and soaring success was within reach!
And so it had proved. After he arrived, Zhuge Junshi had taken charge of everything at the domestic branch in his capacity as military advisor, holding all power in his own hands!
