Chapter 199: The Toad

Chapter 199: The Toad

Tong Bin didn't consider it disrespectful and continued, "These two people were originally ours from the Qingbei, so taking them back shouldn't be unreasonable."

"But let's not talk about whether they are here or not," said Chen Mu. "Isn't Qingbei supposed to be about freedom to come and go as one pleases? If that's the case, why are you still chasing after them?"

As Chen Mu spoke, he was also calculating in his mind.

It was obvious.

Qingbei knew the importance of An Ruosu, but in the past, these supportive ability users had nowhere to go, so Qingbei didn't pay much attention to them and wasn't worried about them running away.

After all, no matter how low their status, it was still better than running outside and being used as food for mice.

However, now that there was Qiming, it to some extent broke Qingbei's monopoly, and with An Ruosu as an example, others might also start to think more actively.Ñøv€lRapture marked the initial hosting of this chapter on Ñôv€lß¡n.

No wonder Tong Bin took it upon himself to solve this matter.

Originally, Chen Mu thought his words would frustrate Tong Bin and he might even lose his temper and resort to violence at any moment.

But Tong Bin's scheming ran much deeper than Chen Mu expected.

He only heard him say, "Of course, Qingbei allows freedom to come and go, but the problem is, schools need to handle dropouts, and companies need to handle resignations. Qingbei is now a well-established organization with no rules at all, so how will it be managed in the future?

"So, I'm not here to arrest them or punish them. I just want these two to go back and complete the departure procedures. After all this is done, if they are willing to come to your side, Qingbei will not obstruct them."

His words were forceful and well-founded.

Chen Mu found himself unable to refute for a while.

However, he knew that what Tong Bin said was certainly nonsense. Once An Ruosu returned, suffering and punishment would be inevitable, and she might even be made an example of, warning others.

At this moment, Chen Mu suddenly realized a problem.

An Ruosu was both a heavy burden and an excellent advertisement.

Although going against Qingbei for them might lead to a war, at the same time, it could also tell the others in Qingbei, especially those oppressed supportive ability users, that even in school, they had a second choice.

For Qiming, this was undoubtedly a good thing.

With Tang Jing around, even seemingly useless abilities could find suitable uses. After all, even Zhu Hao had been taken by her to make holes in walls.

Although Chen Mu and Dong Junwei and the others had always been boasting about developing Qiming, they didn't actually have any short-term plans that would show results.

But now.

The opportunity was right in front of them.

On the contrary, if they really handed An Ruosu back...

The first step they worked so hard to take might end up in failure. The little bit of reputation Qiming had just gained could be extinguished, and at the same time, it would further consolidate Qingbei's authority. This was obviously not what Qiming wanted to see.

Among its kind, this toad might not be considered very large; it was a few sizes smaller than an adult bullfrog and probably not fully grown yet. However, for the current humans, it was like an ancient behemoth.

Animals like frogs posed a greater threat to humans than even centipedes and other reptiles.

If that creature were to stick out its tongue, Chen Mu wasn't even sure if he could evade it with his psychic abilities.

Remembering He Ying's teachings, he didn't dare to move.

But he wasn't too frightened.

An Ruosu had mentioned the ability user who could control toads, and it turned out to be one of Tong Bin's trusted subordinates. Chen Mu was mentally prepared for this.

The reason he dared to come alone was, of course, because he had some confidence in his abilities. He just wanted to observe and plan accordingly before revealing his full strength in front of the opponent.

"Let me introduce him," Tong Bin pointed to his subordinate. "His name is Wu Zimo."

Then, he pointed to the toad, "This big guy here is his good friend."

Tong Bin continued to smile, "It would be quite interesting if this guy were to jump into your room."

The giant toad stood still behind the Qingbei group, seemingly well-behaved.

The fact that they could control such a massive creature amazed Chen Mu, especially since the level of the toad was beyond the effectiveness of Qiming's artillery.

Even if they launched all the shells down, it would probably just tickle its pockmarked old skin.

Of course, Chen Mu wouldn't be foolish enough to use artillery to bombard the giant toad.

He was somewhat hesitant.

At this moment, he had a do-or-die choice.

That was to have Cao Zishan and the watchtower launch all their firepower, ideally killing Tong Bin and his group instantly.

But once this plan failed, they would undoubtedly retaliate, and if they created a huge hole in the door and let the giant toad jump in, everything would be turned upside down.

Just then, Chen Mu suddenly heard a familiar voice coming from the bushes.
