To Earth
Qin Mangs swallowed the venom. His eyes suddenly turned white as he collapsed on the bed. The glass bottle in his hand slowly slid down, rolling far away on the mahogany floor.
At that moment, everyone could smell the sour stench. The venom of the six-winged skylords was extremely vicious. Even breathing it in through the air would cause a certain degree of damage to the human body.
The ward was instantly thrown into chaos as everyone fled. Xia Fei lightly tapped his combat suit and put on the air filter mask. He turned around and sat down beside Qin Mangs bed without saying a word.
What was done could not be undone. Whether Qin Mangs could survive this ordeal would depend on his luck and will to live.
Soon, the crowd gathered once more, but this time, everyone had a gas mask on their faces. The room was filled with the sound of the air purifier whirring rapidly. The ward's automatic detection system detected the presence of toxic substances in the air and automatically initiated the purification process.
The disinfection system on the ceiling quickly activated, and for a moment, the rain poured down, covering everyone in the disinfectant.
Qin Mangs was still lying on the bed, not moving an inch. Even his breathing had become almost undetectable.
The crowd became quiet at that moment as everyone waited for the final result. The doctor was blocked outside the door, and it was no longer under his control. They could only rely on Xia Feis medicine and Qin Mangs own strength.
Marta's lips, which were hidden under his mask, curled into an arc. Qin Mangs death was caused by Xia Feis poison, and as the person involved, Xia Feis would not be able to escape responsibility. Even Thurams might be implicated for helping Xia Feis death.
This was equivalent to clearing the biggest obstacle. As for those people, Marta did not care about them at all. At most, he would just give them some benefits to get rid of them.
With that thought in mind, Marta pointed at Xia Fei and said, Capture the murderer of Qin Mangs!
A few burly men responded and moved, surrounding them one after another.
* Zing! *
Xia Fei stabbed Celestial Moon into the ground, the blade sinking straight into the floorboards. The old man is not dead yet. You can capture me if you want, but I'll give you an explanation once he breathes his last.
Marta laughed. An explanation? Who do you think you are? Im afraid that youre not going to be able to give a proper explanation.
Hmph! Thurams snorted coldly. He really wanted to speak up for Xia Fei, but the truth was right there. Everyone had witnessed Qin Mangs drinking Xia Feis poison.
Mata, if Qin Mangs death, Ill personally send Xia Fei to you. Tell your men to stand down! Thuram furrowed his eyebrows. He could not help but blame Xia Fei for being too impulsive, actually using Fight Poison with Poison to treat Qin Mangs condition, which ended up giving Marta something to use against him.
When the Ling brothers heard Thuram's words, they both assumed a fighting stance. It wasn't the first time the two groups had disliked each other. As long as the command was given, they would definitely start fighting on the spot.
That was when Qin Mangs convulsed violently on the sickbed as if he had been electrocuted. Xia Fei knew that this was a sign that the medicine was taking effect.
"Old man!"
"Master!"
"Old fart!"
Everyone stepped forward in concern, each with their own thoughts. Some hoped for him to die, while others hoped for him to live, but everyone was extremely nervous.
Hek Central Hospital was the largest specialized hospital in the area. All the doctors and nurses were extremely careful these days, for some unknown bigshot had been admitted to the hospital. Just by looking at the countless bodyguards and the luxurious hovercars going in and out of the hospital, it was obvious that this person was no ordinary person.
The usually cautious director had repeatedly told his subordinates to be careful, which made the already curious doctors and nurses even more worried. They were worried that if this bigshot were to die in the hospital, they would also be investigated by the higher authorities. After all, it was hard to predict the thoughts of these bigshots.
Finally, after more than two tense months, the staff of Central Hospital began to feel a little more relaxed. The bigshot in Ward 1 was gradually getting better. This news spread like wildfire, and everyone let out a sigh of relief. Even the director revealed a smile that he had not seen in a long time.
The luxurious hovercars left one after another, and Central Hospital gradually regained its peace. However, the special ward area was still tightly guarded, and no outsiders were allowed to enter.
Xia Fei pushed a hoverchair into the garden. Old man Qin Mangs was sitting in it, with Thuram following beside him with a smile.
Qin Mangs face gradually regained its usual vigor, but Old Black, who had accompanied him all year round, had passed away at the same time as his illness, much to his regret.
It was currently summer, and the air was rather stuffy. The three of them found a shady spot under a large tree and brought over a table and chairs to sit around.
Xia Fei smiled as he brewed a pot of tea and poured it for Qin Mangs and Thuram.
Alright, aren't you going back to Earth? Don't bother with us old men and get going, Qin Mangs said.
Quantum Holdings big day was in a few days, and the energy-shield booster was about to go into production. It was the company's first real product, and its sales would directly affect the company's future development, so Xia Fei wanted to go back and take a look.
The old man is right. Vampire has arrived at the port, and you can leave anytime you want. Leave Qin Mangs company to me, so you don't have to worry, Thuram said.
Xia Fei nodded. If that's the case, Ill go back first. Old man, Ill see you again in a while.
Qin Mangs waved his hand. Theres no rush; Im not going to die anytime soon. Just focus on your work.
Once Xia Fei was far away, Thuram pointed at his back and said, Did you see that? You've taken in so many disciples in your life, yet none of them can catch up to that kid. From what I see, you might as well take him in as your last disciple.
Qin Mangs smiled and took a sip from his teacup. Theres no rush. Didnt you say you wanted to show me something?
Thuram pretended to cough twice, and the sentries hidden in the area all retreated. He then took out a microcomputer from his ring and handed it to Qin Mang. You haven't been able to move very well these past two days, so I didn't dare show it to you. I was afraid of startling you.
Oh? Qin Mangs chuckled. So mysterious? Just what is it?
Didnt you always want to know what Xia Feis trump card is? It is in here.
Qin Mangs was slightly surprised. The change in Xia Fei's temperament when he first returned from Heritage Planet had left him puzzled. He vaguely felt that Xia Feis had grasped some special ability, which made him even more confident than before. Now that Thuram had figured out Xia Feis trump card, Qin Mangs interest was naturally piqued.
On the screen was a recording of Xia Feis killing the six-winged skylord. Qin Mangs eyes sparkled when Xia Feis second ability, psychokinesis. It should be known that no warrior in the Alliance had been able to cultivate two abilities to the same level, yet Xia Feis had not only done it, but judging from the moves he had displayed, his psychokinesis ability was not low at all, probably between Star Domain and Star River rank.
It was a law that humans were unable to obtain two abilities, and no one had ever broken it for many years. Now that an insignificant person like Xia Fei had inadvertently broken this law, it would surely cause a huge commotion in the Alliance if word got out.
What was certain was that all of this had something to do with his inexplicable disappearance for a year. For some reason, Xia Fei had never mentioned what happened during that year, as if he was somewhat afraid of it.
That was when the video switched to Xia Fei using the third stage of the Beast Spirit Codex to destroy the six-winged skylord's brain from a hundred meters away. Not only had Thuram never seen such an ability before, even Qin Mangs first time hearing about it.
Whats going on? Qin Mangs curiosity was piqued.
Thuram shook his head. Seems to be some kind of secret mental technique that no one knows about. Im not sure about the specifics.
Turning off the screen, Qin Mangs two fingers lightly tapped on the tabletop. No wonder Xia Fei seems to have become a different person. It turns out that he has already grasped such a killer move.
Thuram chuckled. Thats why Im advising you to take him in as your disciple. If youre not willing, Ill make the first move.
Qin Mangs glared at Thuram. Im not dead yet, so its not your turn yet.
The two of them had often teased each other in the past, and the moment they said those words, they could feel the flavor of their younger days, so they burst out laughing.
Speaking of which, it's all thanks to Xia Fei that you managed to escape death. Though it's not certain how long you'll live, you should at least show some appreciation, right? Thuram said with ill intentions.
Qin Mangs nodded. I understand what you mean, but as you can see, I'm already being targeted by a lot of people before I even die. If I really give him a few of the things I've collected over the years, I might end up harming him instead.
Qin Mangs worries were not groundless. There was a storm brewing in the Alliance, and a small fry like Xia Fei would definitely be targeted by others if he possessed something that was not commensurate with his strength. Once he was accused of being greedy, it would not be easy to get rid of it.
Thuram blinked. Old man, just what do you have that would make Marta willing to lower himself to fight for it?
Qin Mangs chuckled. First, I cant tell you what I have that I cant tell you. Second, how do you know that these things are what Marta wants?
What are you trying to say?
My disappointing disciples dont know much. What they are after are just some little trinkets, so it wont be a big deal even if I give it to them. As for Marta, I suspect that there is someone who can't make an appearance, so he's the one doing it, Qin Mangs said plainly.
Thuram slammed his hand on the table. Could it be the--
Qin Mangs cautiously reached out his hand to stop him from continuing. Back then, I was forced to leave the headquarters because of these people. Besides, there are only a few people who know about it, so I don't have to guess to know. As for Marta, honestly, I never thought that he would have the guts to do it.
Who would have thought that after so many years, these people still won't let you go? Thuram said viciously. What do you plan to do now?
Qin Mangs smiled. As long as Im alive, they wont dare do anything to me. I heard that Earth is a nice little planet. Since I have nothing to do, I plan to go there for a few days to recuperate.
