Chapter 310: Chapter 310

"What? Surrounded by who? You better explain yourself clearly!"

"The Self-Defense Army? What Self-Defense Army? Didn’t we beat them back into hiding in the mountains long ago?"

"Fight back! Our home is under siege! What’s there to ask for? Open fire immediately!"

"What drones? How can the Self-Defense Army have drones?"

Gu Xiu was getting a headache from all the noise. He turned around to ask for some peace, only to see Luo Sifang and Gong Hai, leading their men, preparing to leave.

"Where do you think you’re going?"

"My home’s under attack!" Luo Sifang replied irritably.

"What do you mean? All of you, stop right there! Stop!" Gu Xiu shouted angrily.

Unexpectedly, Luo Sifang and Gong Hai paid him no heed. The lure of prolonging life was attractive, but they now strongly suspected that Buddha and Gu Xiu were plotting against them, aiming to annex their territories while their own armed forces were concentrated here.

Reconnaissance and strike integrated drones! They didn’t possess such things, so how could the Self-Defense Army possibly have them?

Seeing that the two of them were completely ignoring him, Gu Xiu was enraged. He pressed the walkie-talkie button to speak with Buddha. "Buddha, Luo Sifang and Gong Hai are leaving! They claim the Self-Defense Army has launched a sneak attack on their homes."

Buddha asked, "What did you say?"

"The Self-Defense Army has reconnaissance and strike integrated drones and is currently attacking the Luo and Gong residences."

As Gu Xiu was speaking, a subordinate rushed over. "Mr. Gu, it’s bad! A bunch of drones suddenly appeared over our industrial park!"

As if in coordination with his report, smoke from an explosion billowed in the distance.

Gu Xiu was utterly shocked.

Over the walkie-talkie, Buddha laughed. "Li Tianyao, oh Li Tianyao, you really have some tricks up your sleeve! Gu Xiu, let them go. Everyone else, organize a counterattack immediately. Remember, this is our turf, and we can’t afford to lose an inch of it!"

Buddha squinted, his gaze fixed on the surveillance screen. He wasn’t afraid of the Luo and Gong families. If he wished, he could even manipulate Luo Sifang and Gong Hai—just like Zhao Meng, who was controlled by parasites and completely obedient to him. But at this moment, Luo Sifang and Gong Hai weren’t by his side, and his power had a distance limit, rendering him unable to affect them. In this situation, not letting them leave would only infuriate them. He did not want Li Tianyao to benefit from their infighting! Therefore, he had to take this loss.

Fortunately, he had implanted parasites into Zhao Meng ahead of time. And among the three families, the Zhao Family had the highest Combat Power. Brothers Zhao Meng and Zhao Yutang were steeped in an aura of iron blood! With them around...

Wait, what is Zhao Meng doing? He actually took out a gun and fired a shot into the sky.

A red signal flare soared upwards, trailing a long tail.

Li Tianyao had only walked a few hundred meters when he saw dust billowing ahead and various vehicles rushing out.

In the sky, the signal flare fired by Zhao Meng burst open, spreading a cloud of red smoke.

Buddha’s breath hitched, his fingers clenched as he glared furiously at Zhao Meng. "What are you doing? Aren’t you afraid the parasites will bite you to death?"

The previously weakened Zhao Meng, who looked as if he might keel over any second, suddenly stood upright. "Not scared at all, because I have the Insect Medicine!"

Zhao Meng flexed his body, then suddenly reached for the mask on Buddha’s face. "Let me see who’s really behind that mask of yours!"

Buddha retreated quickly, dodging the attack, while his fingers clenched tightly. "Since that’s the case, then you can go to hell!"

All those he couldn’t control should die!!

Zhao Meng’s body suddenly halted. He felt a strange force that, although it hadn’t yet harmed him, was brimming with danger. It seemed that if he took just half a step further, he would be torn to shreds.

Zhao Meng slammed on the brakes in time, twisted his body, did a complete one-hundred-eighty-degree turn, and ran off as if flying! His speed was so fast that he left afterimages in his wake!

Buddha was momentarily stunned. "How can he run so fast?"

Someone rushed over from outside in a hurry. "Buddha, it’s not good! The Self-Defense Forces have reached us! They have lots and lots of drones, and..." The person rattled off a list of advanced weapons and equipment.

"Buddha, the Self-Defense Army must be in cahoots with Li Tianyao! No one but Li Tianyao could upgrade the Self-Defense Army’s weaponry to this level in such a short time."

Buddha scoffed, "Kill Luo Zi’ang for me!"

But from the intercom, he heard An Yan’s voice. "Your men, they’re all dead!" Google seaʀᴄh novel·fiɾe·net

How is that possible? It hasn’t even been five minutes since An Yan entered the building! How did she do it?

Buddha was silent for a few seconds, then said, "An Yan, do you think you’ve won?"

An Yan frowned. "Could it be that you have other arrangements?"

Buddha laughed. "Correct! Now, tell me, are my men really dead?"

An Yan paused for a few seconds. "Not dead, but they might as well be. They can no longer follow your orders anyway."

"Good girl! I knew you weren’t heartless enough to slaughter them. After all, even if they are my men, they are still living beings."

An Yan pursed her lips tightly. She knew where she fell short compared to her adversary. She wasn’t ruthless enough, but the other party could be inhumanly cruel!

"Let’s do this: I’ll talk to Li Tianyao first. Remember, since you didn’t kill my men before, don’t kill them now either. Because for every one you kill, I’ll stab Li Tianyao once! You know as well as I do, he might not die, but that doesn’t mean he won’t feel pain! Haha."

Li Tianyao had changed direction as soon as the gunfire started, heading toward the arc-shaped building. Upon entering the lobby, all he saw was a massive screen.

On the screen sat a man in a French high-backed chair! A golden mask covered most of his face, while the corners of his thin lips carried a mocking smile, as if he were taking pleasure in toying with his prey.

"Li Tianyao, you’ve finally fallen into my hands."

"Who are you?" Li Tianyao asked.

Li Tianyao coldly watched the man on the screen. "You’re not Gu Shifang, but you seem to know me, so you must have some connection to Gu Shifang. When Gu Shifang chooses his puppets, his favorite method is body control."

"So you’ve been poisoned and need regular doses of the Antidote, right?"

"Wrong guess! I’m not poisoned!" the person replied.

"Then congratulations on being made a vessel by Gu Shifang," Li Tianyao said, his voice devoid of inflection.

"Have you never wondered why you suddenly acquired skills you had never mastered before? Like commanding insects, for example?"

The other party was silent.

Li Tianyao continued, "That skill was stolen by Gu Shifang from the Golden Crow. You only know that I possess Immortality, but you are unaware that Gu Shifang can achieve eternal memory. His method is to overwrite the memory of his chosen vessel with his own, thereby taking full control of their body! His last vessel was the Golden Crow! And the next one is you!"
