Meng Xian nodded in agreement, as there would not be any casualties now. Especially since they had more people on their side, they could potentially annihilate Zhao Yu and his group, albeit at a cost.
“How can I be sure that after we leave, you won’t come after us?”
“Do you want me to write a letter of commitment?” Zhao Yu replied with a hint of amusement.
If they spared Zhao Yu today, he might gather more members from the Re Zhao Corporation to retaliate in the future.
“I believe the only assurance I can provide is my promise.”
BoxNovel.com“I promise not to pursue any grievances against you in the future, nor will 1 report today’s events to the Re Zhao Corporation/’ Seeming to grasp her concerns, Zhao Yu said.
A promise?!
Meng Xian was unsure of the significance of his words.
“The weight of my promise isn’t about whether I can fulfill it, but how powerful you are.” Zhao Yu continued.
“How powerful am 1?” Meng Xian seemed to grasp his meaning.
“Exactly,”
“Come on, show me. Let’s see how strong a level-three enhancer is and if you can assassinate me, even amidst a crowd.” Zhao Yu nodded.
The stronger she was, the more valid Zhao Yu’s promise would be.
Even if everyone from her base died, she would still come to assassinate Zhao Yu on her own.
“I get it.”
Meng Xian nodded and signaled her people to disperse.
Soon, the crowd spread out.
“I am a third-level strength and agility dual enhancer. 1 can dodge bullets and kill with my bare hands.” Meng Xian proclaimed.
She casually tossed the handgun from her waist to Xiao Liu, instructing him, “Shoot at me until rhe magazine is empty!”
“What?!”
With the short distance of only six or seven meters between them.
“Sister Meng, at this distance, would it be…”
“Shoot!” Meng Xian frowned and shouted coldly.
She was well aware that the stronger she appeared at this moment, the more fearful Zhao Yu would be of her retaliation, which would make him more likely to keep his promise.
On the other hand, if she didn’t instill any fear in Zhao Yu, the chances of him seeking revenge in the future would be greater.
Though it was frustrating, violence is the law now at this era.
Compared to her, Zhao Yu on his own was insignificant; even someone like Xiao Liu could easily take him down.
However, he had the Re Zhao Corporation and a brother powerful enough to place him in a leading position within the group.
That was his strongest base card!
“Here it comes!”
Biting his lip, Xiao Liu gave a couple of warnings before finally pulling the trigger.
“Bang-‘” “Bang-” “Bang-‘”
Eight consecutive gunshots rang out.
Meng Xian stood her ground, her feet firmly planted. Her upper body seemed to produce illusions, flickering continuously.
As the gunshots ceased, the illusions converged back into one, and she returned to a standing position.
Looking at her from head to toe, she was completely unscathed!
“Dodging bullets on the spot?!”
Zhao Yu hadn’t expected a level three enhancer to be this formidable.
Dodging bullets from just five or six meters away?!
Meng Xian felt a bit uneasy at the moment, fearing that Zhao Yu would see through their ruse.
Back in their camp, she had trained Xiao Liu’s evasion skills using a handgun to attack him. However, they weren’t this close during training.
To prevent serious harm to Xiao Liu, they had agreed that the eight bullets would be fired in a fixed sequence.
This way, even if Xiao Liu couldn’t dodge, he wouldn’t get severely injured.
To her relief, Xiao Liu had understood her hint and had fired the bullets in the same sequence they practiced.
After all, dodging bullets in sequence versus dodging them randomly posed different challenges. With her current strength, evading bullets from five to six meters away without moving was extremely difficult.
Upon seeing the shock in Zhao Yu’s eyes, Meng Xian breathed a sigh of relief. She understood that Zhao Yu probably wouldn’t act recklessly and would adhere to their agreement.
“Is this the capability of a third-level enhancer?!” Zhao Yu suddenly became interested in the elixir.
If he also had the power of a third-level enhancer, his safety would be greatly enhanced.
“How about that?!” Meng Xian asked with a smile on her face.
“Leader Meng has impressive sldlls.” Zhao Yu responded. “I will act as if nothing happened today and will also erase the surveillance footage from the base…”
“Good, Our deal has been sealed!”
Meng Xian laughed heartily, feeling as if a huge weight had been lifted off her shoulders.
“Now that we’ve reached an agreement, shouldn’t we put our guns down? What if there’s an accidental discharge?!”
To be honest, she was genuinely afraid that Zhao Yu’s side might recklessly open fire. While she might not die, many of the people she brought with her could suffer severe casualties.
“Agreed!”
Zhao Yu nodded and directly ordered, “Everyone, attention!”
“Roger!”
All the soldiers promptly bolstered their weapons and stood upright. Their uniform and coordinated movements produced a crisp sound.
With just that gesture, Meng Xian and her team were surprised.
“These are indeed troops from a major force, well-trained…”
“My goodness, these soldiers are trained like robots, only following orders…”
Meanwhile, Meng Xian began to admire Zhao Yu for his audacity in ordering his men to stand down first.
She turned to her teammates who were still in a state of shock, and said with a frown, “What are you all waiting for? Holster your weapons!”
