Resurrection Empire

Chapter 734 278 The More Arrogant, The Safer

Zheng Dafa sighed, "Mr. Ren, right now, Wang Jinsou indeed doesn't know about the situation here. But if you use the slip-up I've shown you to make a trade with him, and make him pay a price, I will eventually die for sure. Even if you help remove the bomb from me, it won't help. I am his slave, my life is firmly in his hands."

Ren Zhong raised an eyebrow, "Oh? Quite stubborn, a loyal dog. Then you can go..."

Zheng Dafa hurriedly said, "No! Mr. Ren, wait a minute! Don't get excited! I haven't finished speaking!"

"Then what do you mean?"

Zheng Dafa: "I just want to express my difficulties to you, Mr. Ren, and hope you can understand me a bit."

One option had a 99% chance of dying in the future, and the other was a 100% immediate death. Weighing the lesser of two evils, Zheng Dafa didn't need to think to know what to choose.

Mr. Ren's impatience is terrifying. Speaking without catching a breath, the person might be gone.

Ren Zhong was amused, "You sure can think. You send someone to kill me and then expect me to understand you?"

Zheng Dafa rubbed his hands anxiously, "This... this didn't succeed, did it? Things that didn't happen aren't valid!"

Ren Zhong: "..."

You're a damn logic genius!

"Mr. Ren, your strength is impressive, this setup is just a joke in front of you. Alas, I'm also helpless, Mr. Ren! We, who are slaves, really have no choice. Even if the master orders me to strap a bomb around myself and rush to the county government, I have to obediently go."

Knowing there exists a Level Eight Telekinesis Master, Zheng Dafa simply didn't bother lying and straightforwardly resigned to his fate.

The purpose of saying so much was merely to hope Ren Zhong would show some mercy and not destroy him after extracting intelligence.

He hoped even more that Ren Zhong would, considering his straightforward confession, include him in whatever deal he might strike with Wang Jinsou.

If he could smoothly switch masters in the future, there might be a chance for survival.

Ren Zhong smiled at him, "Are you afraid of Wang Jinsou settling scores after this is over?"

Zheng Dafa nodded honestly, "Yes."

Ren Zhong: "Then you're overthinking, there won't be an 'after'.

Zheng Dafa plopped to the ground, banging his head against the hard floor like a mortar pestle, "Mr. Ren! I told you! I've confessed everything! Don't kill me! I'm begging you! I was wrong! I was really wrong!"

Ren Zhong quickly grabbed him by the back of his collar and pulled him up.

Jeez, he was banging his head quite aggressively, and after just a few hits, his forehead was already bleeding profusely.

The armor at the neck of the Red Blade Armor opened a small hole, from which a snake-like tube extended, spraying hemostatic spray with a couple of hissing sounds, providing emergency treatment to the area.

Ren Zhong said speechlessly, "What are you thinking? I mean, Wang Jinsou doesn't have a future."

"What! No, that's impossible. Absolutely impossible. Mr. Ren, you might be underestimating him; this is how he communicated with me..."

A moment later, Zheng Dafa painfully said, "This is his way of managing his subordinates. He never clearly states his intentions, only letting us infer and imagine. No one has the evidence to accuse him."

Upon hearing this, Ren Zhong was slightly surprised.

Ren Zhong rubbed his chin and pondered, "I underestimated him then."

"If he didn't have this skill, with the things he's done, even if he's the heir of Tianyuan Military Industry, he should have been sentenced to death long ago! But in reality, over the years, the ones arrested and executed are people like me, oh no, like dogs like me. He himself remains outside all affairs."

Ren Zhong: "Isn't he worried others might misunderstand his intentions?"

Zheng Dafa shook his head, "He's not worried. If someone misjudges his intentions, he kills them and replaces them. The Wang family has a legacy spanning hundreds of years, with immense assets and deeply rooted power, controlling the whole of Chongyi County. Within Chongyi County, citizens and nomads like me who have signed a slave agreement with the Wang family are in the thousands. To be honest, I was only transferred from another department as an attendant to him last month. Just this year alone, he's already replaced three attendants like me. The difference is that the first two became scapegoats when something went wrong, and I got caught by you, Mr. Ren."

Ren Zhong nodded, "That's something, I've learned. But I don't care."

"Ah?"

"I said, he doesn't have a future. Someone who seizes any chance to take my life, I won't let him live comfortably. Even if he's the heir of Tianyuan Military Industry, the eldest son of the Wang family, I don't care."
