Chapter 3416 — A Change of Mind
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"Yes!" Wei Zhao nodded and stepped forward. So long as they were not berserk, these biochemical humans—no matter how strong—would not attack anyone who approached, but simply carried on working.
So Wei Zhao knocked the Pangolin out with ease. Looking at that pale, bloodless face, Wei Zhao felt a stab of pain. The man's features had not changed, but he looked little different from a zombie now—proof enough that these past years had been a living death.
When the supervisors saw that Meng Gaohai had found his man, they paid it no mind—not even a glance—and let him and the others carry the Pangolin off.
They made it all the way back to the dormitory without anyone stopping them. Wei Zhao could not help giving Meng Gaohai a thumbs-up. Taking this underling on had been well worth it! What Wei Zhao had not expected was that a casual notion of his would prove so effective.
Had he followed his original idea—offering favors and inquiring discreetly—it might have worked, but the efficiency would surely have been far lower. Worse, over time word would spread from one to ten and ten to a hundred, until everyone knew, the supervisors of the poison-refining base included.
Wei Zhao was not afraid of them, but he was afraid they might get to the Pangolin first—and that was the last thing he wanted. If it came to that, he might as well have simply led the Paoli clan charging in himself and saved the trouble.
Meng Gaohai laid the unconscious Pangolin on a bed. Wei Zhao looked at him and could not help but fall into a brief daze, recalling those years of carrying out missions...
Red Conch had always been the greatest enemy of the Mystery Investigation Bureau. Wei Zhao did not know why the two had been at odds for so long, but ever since he had joined the Bureau, he had been set against them.
Back then, Red Conch's headquarters had been something Wei Zhao could only look up to. Even the Mystery Investigation Bureau could only contend with certain members of Red Conch's domestic branch.
But now, even facing that general manager, Wei Zhao remained unruffled. If it came down to it, he would just loose the dog—let Xiao Yi come out and finish them off.
"Hah..." Wei Zhao drew a deep breath and took the Pangolin's hand. Things had changed beyond recognition. Of the people from the Mystery Investigation Bureau in those days, some had gone their separate ways, and some had fallen in battle...
Yang Huaijun, for instance, had left the Bureau at once—his health no longer permitted him to stay.
Thinking back on those years, Wei Zhao had once found that life dull, hectic, and utterly insecure. But now, looking back, he felt instead that those days had been happy...
The friendships forged in battle are the most precious; the loves born in battle, the most fondly remembered...
Now, for Xiao Ning and for the inheritors, Wei Zhao must fight to the bitter end!
The Cloud-Tier Island Heavenly Dao Plan was close at hand!
Wei Zhao's original plan had been to open Cloud-Tier Island, ensure the safety of the women, and then retire with his achievements complete—after all, the Heavenly Dao on Cloud-Tier Island had little to do with him.
