The scenery along the way flashed by quickly. As Wan Ping looked at the increasingly familiar landscape, there was no fluctuation in his heart.
Meeting Caius was purely a matter of bad luck for him.
When he was at the gathering place in Beijing, due to military prohibitions and restrictions, Caius, despite having a grudge against him, couldnât do anythingâthis also demonstrated that Caius was not the type to act recklessly without thinking. He would assess the situation, follow the rules, and wouldnât provoke people he couldnât afford to offendâhadn't both Tang Haofei and Wen Yu killed before?
But it was this indecisive nature that made Wan Ping feel even more disgusted.
So, he thought, he must think he could easily bully me, right?
Since thatâs the case, then let's play a little game!
...
Rushing through the familiar streets, the sense of crisis behind him drew closer.
Every time Caius flew into his range of perception, Wan Ping would immediately take out one or more escape items to distance himself from Caiusâs attack range.
Wan Ping had plenty of escape itemsâafter offending Wen Yu, escape items had become the top priority for him to collect. However, while they were very effective at the third level, they became less useful by the time he reached level five.
These items couldnât help him escape Caiusâs perception; they could only create distance. This also showed that if Wan Ping really ran to Wen Yuâs side, if Wen Yu intended to kill him, he certainly wouldnât be able to escape.
Facing Caius's pursuit, Wan Ping had already set up a strategy from the very beginningââDonât you want to kill me? Would you rather kill me or look for Arcade?â Iâm going to find Arcade now; letâs see who you will kill?
Drawing the water away, and taking advantage of the chaos, this was the only way Wan Ping could think of to survive in a short time.
And most importantly, Wan Ping was able to guess where Ye Nan and the Avenger army were at this moment.
...
âBoom!â
A huge sound wave and thunderous explosion awakened Ye Nan and the others who were deep in sleep.
Ye Nan sat up abruptly from his bed, kicking the snoring Zhang Shaojie awake, and pointed towards the outside noise.
âGo check whatâs happening!â
Hearing Ye Nanâs command, Zhang Shaojie opened his eyes groggily, yawned forcefully, and then slowly walked towards the outside.
A sense of crisis lingered in Ye Nan's heart. Seeing Zhang Shaojie dawdle, Ye Nan immediately frowned and said sharply, âHurry up! I feel like weâre in trouble!â
âGot it, got it! Youâre the big boss, youâre awesome!â
Zhang Shaojie complained while speeding up.
âArcade? Arcade?â
âAh?â
âYou...â
âBoom!â
Another explosion sounded, accompanied by a blinding light shooting into the room through the window, making the entire room as bright as day.
Seeing this scene, Ye Nan and Arcade were stunned.
Ye Nan was shocked by the intensity of the attack, while Arcade was intimidated by the attacker...
Compared to Wen Yu, Arcade feared Caius even more.
After all, Wen Yu could still communicate with him, while Caius was just a âmadmanâ who knew how to purify evil!
After a while, Arcade, with a sad face, showed Ye Nan a smile that looked even worse than crying.
âCaius of Sequence Five is coming for me, Ye Nan, you have to help me.â
Ye Nan was speechless.
To gain benefits, one must first bear the burdens.
Since making a contract with Arcade, Ye Nan had not yet managed to gain many benefits from him. Instead, he had to deal with a deadly rival of Sequence Five for Arcade.
At this moment, it would be a lie to say Ye Nan didnât have regrets.
...
As the saying goes, fate is unpredictable.
Just when Ye Nan was contemplating whether to abandon Arcade or confront Caius directly.
Another piece of âgood newsâ was brought to Ye Nan by the frantic Zhang Shaojie.
âWan Ping is outside, coming straight towards us. Big boss, itâs time for your revenge!â
Due to his limited perception range, Zhang Shaojie had not seen Caius.
