The World of Saints!
He remembered that there were cultivation techniques inside that had a seductive effect. He did not know if there was a link.
While his ability X was limited, with his skills, other people could not just simply stalk him. After randomly running through a few alleys, Wang Zheng quickly lost the people stalking him.
It was impossible to want Yue Jing to unlock his bracelet. No matter what, wearing this thing was still very dangerous.
When he found Piglet, this rascal was calmer than the average child. He had such endurance perhaps because of his birth place and family.
After Wang Zheng relayed briefly the situation, Piglet started to panic a little. After all he was just a 10 year old kid.
"Brother Wang Zheng, what do we do, we have to save Grandpa Mobo. I know where the key is!" Piglet said anxiously.
Wang Zheng shook his head, "We'll all die if we give them the key. The most important thing is that I get this bracelet off first. If the soft approach fails, we'll use the hard approach."
Piglet was stunned, "Can we take this off?"
Wang Zheng nodded. He bought a bottle of low grade wine. While the taste was very bad but the alcohol content was high enough. The 2 of them went to a hidden alley in the slums. All the way, Piglet clung tightly to Wang Zheng. His expression looked calm but in reality his arm kept trembling. You could say that until now, he had nothing left. If Wang Zheng sold him out then he really only had death left.
But it was another thought in Wang Zheng's heart. Originally he went to negotiate with full confidence, but ended up losing both the negotiation and Mobo. While Yue Jing was an unexpected factor, Wang Zheng still thought that his decision was a very big error. If at the start Wang Zheng still had the choice of leaving, then now he really could not escape from this anymore. He was unwilling to escape too. This was Wang Zheng's own character.
But the situation was much worse than Wang Zheng had imagined. While he had no feelings of pain, even if he could handle it, but the quality of this bracelet was much better than imagined. No matter how he attempted to crush it, it could not be opened.
Piglet was also panicking. His eyes reddened as he looked at Wang Zheng's bloody hand. Obviously there must have been situations in the past where the bracelets were broken in Maklou. Hence to date, the quality of bracelets used were especially good. At this moment Wang Zheng really missed the lousy tofu-like quality.
Piglet most likely had hoped that Wang Zheng would be like a hero in the fairytales and tear apart the bracelet as easily as crushing an egg. However the real situation was worse than what these two had imagined.
"Brother Wang Zheng, you should hand me over. I'll give them the key, at least..."
Wang Zheng rubbed his bloodied and wounded left hand. This was a little troublesome. It was not that he did not consider directly breaking his left hand, but in the process of breaking, he realized that this thing indeed had something linked to the capillaries. Wang Zheng did not know if there would be problems if he used too much force. Besides, it was very troublesome under this sort of situation to have one hand less. The most important was that the situation was not optimistic.
"Piglet, this is an adult thing. Trust me, I'll rescue your Grandpa Mobo. Didn't you say that I'm a hero, heroes always have to build up suspense in front. There must be some twists and turns to be a hero story." Wang Zheng laughed as he said.
"But... but, aren't you in pain?" Piglet hugged Wang Zheng's arm with tears in his eyes.
"Little guy, it's really not painful. It's just surface injuries. With the medical advancements now, even broken limbs and legs could be healed. If course, you have to foot this medical bill." Wang Zheng said laughingly.
There was no worst situation, only worse. Wang Zheng's ears quivered. There were rushed footsteps nearing them.
The number of people on the street with the scythe emblem was increasing. From their anxious emotions, they seemed to be looking for someone. Wang Zheng brought Piglet through some twists and turns and finally found a huge rubbish dump. The stench was overpowering. It was really very disgusting. Piglet had already vomited. Wang Zheng also had no other way. This was most likely the safest place that he could find already.
This level of stench was nothing to Wang Zheng, compared to being with insects, this was already a better situation.
"Piglet, hide yourself. Bear with it. Unless it's me, do not come out no matter who looks for you. If course if there's no news from me within 3 days, you... throw the key at some obvious place and leave by yourself. This is only the worst case scenario." Wang Zheng said.
Piglet sniffed, "I'll always wait for you!"
Wang Zheng laughed, "Hide yourself well. You are so smart and full of tricks. Actually adults are sometimes stupider. I believe you can do it!"
Piglet clenched his fists and nodded fiercely. Wang Zheng left. While his left hand was in quite a bad state, at least the blood had clotted. Wang Zheng's body had quite a strong self-healing ability. The so-called super warrior was not about being able to fight, the first key element they needed to have was to be able to withstand hits.
Was this the rules of Maklou, it looked like he had to do something vicious now. After meeting Yue Jing, Wang Zheng kept guessing and analyzing. In the first place why was Yue Jing here?
Immigration? Obviously not, looking at her situation and weird state, there was 80 to 90% chance that she was controlled by some dark powers. That also meant that this Easter Plan was that power's plan. It could even be seen as the plan of the dark powers. To be able to create such trouble, what did the other party want?
To challenge the Milky Way Alliance?
No matter how Wang Zheng thought, he felt that it was not possible. Based on the current state and situation of the Milky Way Alliance, no other powers had the military power to go directly against them. If they really had a falling out, then Maklou could be sacrificed. Besides if they really wanted to make a move then the Milky Way Alliance would definitely be even more resolute. To put it bluntly, some people could die, some losses could be made. These were nothing at all compared to steadying the situation. Besides, most likely many countries would be willing to take part in such a matter. This, he was very clear. This dark power should not be any fool. If it was not this, then the most possible situation would be they wanted to monopolize Maklou. If it were in the past, the Milky Way Alliance would not allow such a situation. However, recently there was the appearance of the example of TitaTitan Star. If they managed the situation well, then Maklou might stand a chance. They were similarly a mining star, similarly an unregulated area. There were too many similarities. It was no wonder when he told Mu Sen about this place; Mu Sen also said that he had similar contact recently. If he judged it this way then the other party should be wanting to gain independence, or even get a seat on the Milky Way Alliance.
The Bill Family obviously did not match the benefits of the Milky Way Alliance but Hong Lirong matched. Yue Jing... was no doubt very "attractive". Before the fight, there would definitely be negotiations. And if the negotiator was Yue Jing, then the Milky Way Alliance's side would most likely very easily ignore some key questions.
Of course this was only Wang Zheng's guess. He could not care about the big plan but he could be very sure on one detail: no matter whether it was the Bill Family or Hong Lirong to control Maklou, it would not mean that he succeeded but failed.
And to destroy this Easter plan, he must not let the Julian Family disappear. It was best that the Julian Family could survive. At the very least, Piglet must live. It was only this way the Milky Way Alliance could send people to assist. As long as Piglet was alive then the other party's goals could not be reached.
Now thinking about it, the crucial point was not the key but Piglet himself.
Of course if he died then he need not think anymore. Even though he had confidence in his moves but Wang Zheng was not so proud to think that he could win a fight with a whole city.
But, he could try!
Looking at the night view, Wang Zheng disappeared into the night sky. The situation now was getting messier and messier, so the best way was to cut the Gordian knot!
To be honest, Wang Zheng could not bear to attack Yue Jing. But what was that Bill Scythe family? He had no reservations towards them. Even if they were curved weapons, he would straighten them out!
