Chapter 3277 — Both Sides Wounded
The Blossom Guardian · Page 1 of 2
To He Dantou's mind, the general manager was trying to double-cross him, and he and Fanny were putting on a two-man act. He had felt something was off from the start—one moment a whole chest of euros had vanished into thin air, and now the money had been transferred into some orphanage or other!
Here, apart from He Dantou himself, everyone was the general manager's man, so it was no wonder he grew suspicious.
"He Dantou, are you playing games with me, trying to swallow my drugs without spending a single cent?" The general manager rose to his feet as well, and the full might of his late-stage Heaven-Rank peak consummation surged out unabashed!
In the general manager's eyes, it was He Dantou who was up to tricks—first coming with an empty chest to muddy the waters, and only when that deception failed, making the transfer, which had then landed in some orphanage's account. The man was obviously trying to pull a fast one.
"Hah, whoever's playing games knows it in his heart. General Manager, hand over that chest of drugs to me now, and I can pretend nothing ever happened. As for the euros lost from that chest, I'll chalk it up to bad luck!" He Dantou snorted coldly. "And don't tell me that orphanage account isn't yours!"
"He Dantou, you dare say such a thing? I think you're the one after something for nothing. Now get out, and I won't pursue the matter. The Conch Group has no place for a partner as insincere as you!" the general manager retorted furiously.
"You're asking for death!" When had He Dantou ever suffered such insult? His patience had run out entirely. He drew a soft whip from his waist—his Heaven-Rank divine weapon—and lashed it straight at the general manager!
This soft whip was very like the Heaven-Rank divine weapon Xiao Yi wielded, though Xiao Yi's was the genuine article, while He Dantou's was a close imitation he had assembled from his memories of the Five Glories Sect in his youth.
And Xiao Yi's divine weapon was, at present, still in Wei Zhao's hands.
"It's you who's asking for death! You dare raise a hand inside Conch Group headquarters?" The general manager flew into a rage and drew two flails from either side of his legs, hurling them at He Dantou—this was his Heaven-Rank divine weapon.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Earth-shaking crashes erupted from the general manager's office as two late-stage Heaven-Rank peak consummation experts went at each other.
Meanwhile, in the restroom stall, the real Secretary Lu was slowly coming to. He had no idea what had happened to him; all he remembered was coming to the restroom, and after that, nothing.
Had he fainted in the restroom? Secretary Lu hastily checked himself over and found nothing amiss—no injuries, nothing missing. He could only conclude that he had been too exhausted these past few days, short on sleep, and had passed out in the washroom!
In fact, he really had been quite worn out these past few days, so he gave it no further thought.
By now, Wei Zhao had switched taxis twice and was back at the bathhouse! His goal had been achieved. Of course, Wei Zhao had no idea that the two late-stage Heaven-Rank peak consummation experts were already fighting; had he known, he would probably have been rendered speechless.
He had never expected that the account number he had casually altered on a sudden inspiration would actually fool He Dantou!
Of course, had He Dantou noticed before making the transfer, events would have unfolded quite differently. In that case, the general manager would certainly not have believed He Dantou had altered it, nor Fanny either—which would have left only "Secretary Lu" to blame!
So Wei Zhao, wary of trouble, had restored his former appearance before returning to the bathhouse. He entered, quickly knocked on Xu Shilan's and Cheng Yiyi's door, and fled with the two of them.
