Chapter 664 of "My Super Beautiful Lady Boss" opens introducing characters: CapĂtulo 1404: Chapter 1491: Shanshui ManorEven though Su Xuan hadnât explicitly demanded them to say... Find out more!
CapĂtulo 1404: Chapter 1491: Shanshui ManorEven though Su Xuan hadnât explicitly demanded them to say anything from the start, these people werenât fools. They naturally understood that this matter wasnât simple. If they didnât even know what Su Xuan wanted to ask, theyâd probably just end up getting beaten.
âHmph, then speak, and remember not to say things I donât want to hear!â
Su Xuan threatened, and as soon as he said this, the guy underestimated him in his heart. To be honest, these people werenât idiots. Su Xuan was getting a hold of them partly as a punishment, but it was more for intimidation, to make them confess everything they should.
âIâll say it, Iâll say it. Our branch is in Shanshui Manor!â
âThatâs not the question Iâm curious about. Continue!â
Su Xuan smiled faintly, with an expression that said if you donât tell me something Iâm interested in, youâll surely end up with a broken arm.
The man was speechless. To him, it seemed Su Xuan just wanted to know where the Underworldâs base was. He didnât know where the Underworld was, but at least he knew where their base was, so he explained everything to Su Xuan. But after speaking, Su Xuan didnât care about this at all, which left him speechless.
âWe, weâre recently ordered to capture girls between eighteen to twenty years old!â
The man hurriedly said. He didnât know much, just these few things. If these werenât what Su Xuan wanted to know, then he didnât know either.
âWhy are you capturing girls aged eighteen to twenty?â
Su Xuan asked indifferently. This was his real concern. He felt that this matter wasnât simple and might be more complicated than it seemed. These people appeared to be capturing girls indiscriminately, but Su Xuan could see that they were specifically targeting a certain age group. Why gather so many young girls? To sell them? If so, why only target that age group?
âThisâŚâ
The manâs face changed immediately. How would he know why? This guy is being too nosy.
âI really donât know. Weâre just following orders!â
The man said with a bitter expression, not expecting to be treated so ruthlessly by Su Xuan.
âHmphâŚâ
Su Xuan snorted coldly. Seeing that this guy probably didnât know, he didnât continue to trouble him, pondering whether this matter might be related to the Gu Poison family.
Right now, things seemed like a mess to Su Xuan. He didnât know how to handle them. Almost seven days had passed and he still had no leads. Not only had the old manâs body disappeared, but more critically, he didnât know who the Saintess was. Even if he found the Gu Emperor, he couldnât save Xue Mengxue.
Su Xuan released the guy, kicked him away, and approached the last two people with a cold smile.
âAre you prepared to lose a hand, or do you have some useful information for me? Iâm quite easygoing. As long as what you tell me has some value, Iâll spare your hands.â
âAh⌠A man can be killed but not humiliated. Kill me if you dare!â At this moment, one of the men looked at Su Xuan fiercely. To be honest, in that instant, Su Xuan was already too tired to argue.
âDamn it, do you really think youâre a tough guy? Iâm going to humiliate you!â
Su Xuan spoke as he suddenly twisted the manâs arm 360 degrees as if wringing a garment, the bones tangled together. The severe pain instantly surged through his right arm. But Su Xuan didnât stop there and grabbed his left hand, twisting it 720 degrees in a similar manner, causing a series of cracking sounds. His bones were probably shattered.
âCrack⌠Crack⌠CrackâŚâ
The manâs throat emitted cracking sounds from the pain. The severe agony made him almost faint several times, the sensation of having his arm twisted off making him regret his words.
He regretted his bravado. Years later, when recalling this incident, if someone asked the biggest regret of his life, he would say it was uttering those words, âA man can be killed but not humiliated.â
He realized how childish he had been, aching to jump into a river in shame. In situations where you lack control, such words are futile, just like Su Xuan said: âIâm going to humiliate you, so what?â
What could he do? When facing such an opponent, any tough talk was doomed to failure, leading only to passive suffering. At this moment, Su Xuan looked at the last man with a sunny smile.
âNow itâs your turn. Will you let me kill you, or will you say a few words?â
Su Xuan looked at this man, slightly puzzled. This person hadnât attacked him, so he was unsure if it was due to fear or another reason.
âI am willing to follow you and achieve great things together. Do you have the mettle to accept me?â
The manâs eyes were spirited, staring intently at Su Xuan, speaking earnestly. Su Xuan, the Taoist, found it strange. He hadnât expected the guy to say he wanted to follow him; this was beyond his expectations.
âHeh, Iâm quite surprised!â
Su Xuan looked at the man and said.
âArenât you afraid of being called a traitor, or how confident are you that Iâll take you in?â
Su Xuan asked with a smile.
âJust as the saying goes, âA wise bird chooses its tree to perch on.â Choosing the right side is vital in life. With the right choice, one might achieve glory. I trust my vision. As for confidence, I have none. But I still want to propose this: if youâre willing to accept me, I wonât disappoint. If not, I ask for a quick end rather than waking up to end it myself!â
The man looked at Su Xuan with earnest eyes.
Su Xuan smiled faintly, a little surprised inside. To be honest, he hadnât expected this situation, and found the man before him interesting indeed.
