Book 1: Chapter 182

There was silence in this small space for a while and the atmosphere became very subtle.Follow current novels at novelhall.com)

No one raised any objections, was surprised, or wondered what I was talking about. Everyone was silent after they heard me speak.

It showed that they understood, but I couldnt figure out what they were thinking. Did they think I didnt believe that Uncle Two was running things behind the scenes, so I came up with a flimsy excuse for him? Or did they have the same idea as me, but couldnt discuss it directly in such a crowded environment for fear of destroying Uncle Two's plan?

This silence made my heart beat very fast, but it wasnt out of nervousness. It was an indescribable excitement. This was the subtlety of Uncle Twos game. The key point of the game was that a possibility existed without any theoretical support, but our intuition still started to lean towards it anyways.

Everyone had their own ulterior motives for being here, but Bai Haotian was the only one who looked a little panicked and awkward. She suddenly went from being an outsider to someone who was squeezed into a small space with so many legendary characters. Shortly before that, she lost her job, fought a battle, got kidnapped, and was then thrown off of a cliff that was highly toxic. She was definitely in the same state of mind I was in so very long ago: life was like a roller coaster that had done more than twenty loops. People were bound to throw up no matter how calm they were.

The Scarsong accompaniment (1) seemed to be ringing in my ears, and everyone's eyes looked erratic as the music played.

Fatty was in a very dangerous situation right now, because he had deviated from Uncle Two's plan. Black Glasses and Poker-Face were here, probably to save us. This meant that the second path was the one Uncle Two wanted us to take, but Fatty had taken the first path, so it would be very dangerous.

All of us here should be on the right track. Jiang Zi Suans appearance mustve been a bug in the whole process. It was something Uncle Two didn't expect, but if I were in his shoes, I would also try to get rid of Jiang Zi Suan and see how things were going.

I looked at Bai Haotian again. My instincts were telling me that my role was to bring her here.

I still didnt see anyone talking, so I asked Black Glasses, "By the way, how did you know that we would come down from the cliff?"
