"So that's how it is. Then what comes next…" Little Pure's meaning was: could Wei Zhao figure out the robbery that was to come?
"This robbery wasn't arranged at random. I only made the decision after I learned Wei Zhao had gotten involved—and after Wei Zhao had left. It's not the same as when I decide on the spot, so Wei Zhao and the others definitely won't be able to figure it out," An Liwen said. "If Wei Zhao had figured it out, why would he leave? Why not stay the night in the antique shop and wait?"
"That's true enough." Little Pure nodded in relief at this.
But no sooner had Little Pure's words faded than a hurried knocking came at the door.
An Liwen frowned, but said all the same, "Little Pure, go see who's here."
"Yes!" Little Pure went to open the door and found it was one of her trusted subordinates, a girl called Little Madwoman.
"Brother Pure, something's wrong." The moment Little Madwoman stepped inside, she spoke in utter alarm.
"What's got you in such a panic? And once you're inside, you greet Young Master Wen first!" Little Pure frowned slightly. If this girl hadn't been rather pretty and fairly reliable in her work, she would never have cultivated her.
"Yes… Young Master Wen, something's gone wrong!" Little Madwoman nodded hurriedly and said, "From what our lookouts posted at the intersection observed, Wei Zhao and his party haven't left this place—they must have gone to ground somewhere nearby…"
"What?!" An Liwen's eyes went wide at once. Surely it couldn't be such a coincidence—he had only just made the decision to go on robbing the antique shop, and now a report came saying Wei Zhao hadn't left. Was this Wei Zhao some kind of god?
"Young Master Wen, should we move somewhere else?" Little Pure was startled too. How could Wei Zhao have guessed? That seemed a bit unrealistic—a bit too eerie, wasn't it?
Thinking over everything they had done these past days, not one thing had succeeded; in the end most of it had been wrecked by Wei Zhao. Little Pure wondered—could Wei Zhao be their nemesis?
"Move somewhere else?" By the time An Liwen said this, he had already regained his calm. He paused, then gave a cold laugh. "Why move or not move? This time we not only won't move—we're going to inject the test subjects with the Number Four Modified Serum. If Wei Zhao really does stick his nose in, then let him stay there forever!"
"The Number Four Modified Serum…" Little Pure was stunned. "Young Master Wen, Dr. Yin said before that the Number Four Modified Serum is meant for injecting into masters of Earth Rank and above. If we inject it into these test subjects—never mind whether they can withstand it, even if they can, they obviously won't be able to bring out that kind of power. Besides, once these serums are injected, even if the test subjects don't die, they'll be cripples after they recover and can't be used again…"
"I know that. Go and bring Dr. Yin to me—I'll ask him whether it's possible!" An Liwen had clearly made up his mind. He waved a hand, signaling Little Pure to go fetch the man.
"This… all right then!" Little Pure nodded and told Little Madwoman to go call for him.
Before long, Dr. Yin walked in. "Young Master Wen, you wanted to see me?"
"It's like this—if we inject our current test subjects with the Number Four Modified Serum, will it achieve the expected effect?" An Liwen asked directly.
"This… The Number Four Modified Serum was made by my master's fellow disciple, Dr. Benjamin the Second. This serum is designed for recipients who are masters of Earth Rank and above, and only masters of Earth Rank and above can withstand it. If it's used on low-ranked recipients, it could very likely kill them outright…" Dr. Yin said.
"In other words, there's no chance of it?" An Liwen's brow knit at once.
