Chapter 656: Poisons Cancel Out

Seizing the opportunity, Chaos Reflection dove into the laptop screen as a white light.

“Don’t go into my laptop!” Gregor snapped. “I can’t write when you’re watching me!”

Swoosh. The white light shot out of the screen and left the study room, entering the clock on the living room wall. Then there was another flash. The man had jumped to an unknown surface.

Zhong He answered the door, breaking into a smile that said he had anticipated the visitors.

It was a man and a woman—Correcting Sickle and Succubus from Qilin Guild’s Team Yan Liang. Succubus had finished her mission with Dr. Jia, leaving only Xiao Xin under torment.

Correcting Sickle was dressed in a formal suit with a long white coat. He nodded at Zhong He in greeting before walking in.

“We meet again.”

Succubus wore makeup that accentuated her seductive nature with a pink dress hugging her pronounced curves, the fabric smooth and translucent; actually, it was beyond the realm of seduction and toed the line of fully exposing herself.

Swaying her thin waist, she sauntered to Zhong He and touched his face with a smile.

Zhong He didn’t move, but a black shadow appeared suddenly to cover him from head to toe, turning him into a warrior in black armor.

Succubus paused before pulling her hand back. “Don’t be so scared, boy. I’m not going to eat you.”

Zhong He lifted her armor and affected a flirtatious tone. “I simply don’t like the aggressive type.”

What a joke! Your body itself is made of poison. Getting intimate with you isn’t going to be a little death, but just death.

“How can you say that?” Succubus said coquettishly. “Then...you’ll take the initiative next time?”

Zhong He didn’t respond, and his smile didn’t reach his eyes.

Succubus followed Correcting Sickle into the study room.

“Mr. Gregor.” Correcting Sickle was polite but stiff. “Have you considered joining the Qilin Guild?”

“Hey! What the hell’s with you?” Gregor was impatient. “Why don’t your two organizations, as well as the one called the Twelve Zodiac Signs, fight and decide a winner? Stop fucking harassing me in turn!”

“Don’t worry. We’ll bear the responsibility,” Lying Wood said with a smile.

“I’m afraid you won’t be capable of that,” Correcting Sickle shot back.

“Watch your tongue and stop running it.” Zhong He was cleaning with a broom and a dustpan outside the door. He just about had enough. “I may not be able to defeat your boss, but I’m more than enough to deal with you.”

And he wasn’t being overly confident. His Phantom had reached level 5 and he’d accumulated much more experience in real fight, making him a much more formidable opponent.

Correcting Sickle remained calm, and Succubus still had a smile on her face; not only didn’t she fear the young man, but she found him more attractive.

“I don’t mean to start trouble,” Correcting Sickle said calmly. “I’m merely stating the truth.”

“The river east may turn into the river west in thirty years. Nothing is constant.”

Zhong He smiled confidently. In his opinion, the Hundred Rivers Union had the advantage in numbers. More and more would comprehend higher-ranking Talents, and it was only a matter of time for the Union to become an equal to the Qilin Guild.

His confidence seemed laughable to Correcting Sickle, but he understood him, even pitied him. You know nothing about how terrifying Qilin is, kid.

“I’ll say again, I don’t mean to start anything...”

“Enough, shut up!” Gregor had run out of his limited patience. “Your talk is giving me a fucking headache, and all my inspiration’s evaporating...”

“Mr. Gregor,” Lying Wood said pleasantly. “About what we said...”

“Wait till I have the opening of the story!” Gregor yelled. “I’m not seeing anyone before that! Just get out of here, go! Or I’m gonna unleash my poison!”

The word “poison” made all of them shudder.

“Then we’ll leave you to it. I hope inspirations find you and allow you to write like God’s talking through you.” Lying Wood said his parting words before leaving with Goldthread and Zhong He.

“We’ll take our leave too.” Correcting Sickle glanced at Succubus, and they left too.

The group of five walked out of Gregor’s place and headed to the elevator together, the air between them quiet and strange.

Ding. When they reached the elevator, it opened automatically.
