A threat made without the corresponding strength was a joke.
But Gao Qi obviously would not become a joke, because he was once qualified to threaten anyone in the world, any city, and even the entire human race on Earth.
But now, Gao Qi could only threaten him verbally, because he could no longer open the space door, use the power of law, or even use a forbidden spell.
But was Gao Qi just bluffing? That's right, he was bluffing, but not entirely.
Last time, Gao Qi was able to plant Wu Tong head-first into the ground. But now, when Gao Qi was so close to Wu Tong, he basically had no strength to resist. So, in order to have a final chance, a bluff was necessary.
Whether it was a psychic or a magician, what they were most afraid of was being approached by a powerful warrior. Even someone as strong as Dongfang Shu needed Wu Tong to protect his back. But now, Gao Qi had no chance of survival when facing Wu Tong at close range.
Why did it become like this?
It was only because of John's reminder that Gao Qi suddenly connected all the previous doubts.
Gao Qi felt that the net that surrounded him should have started when he triggered the energy fluctuations on the shooting range.
I didn't know what had happened, but Gao Qi had suddenly received the favor of fate. Ignoring the details that had happened far too long ago, just the fact that he had been able to affect his fate a few times was all too coincidental, so coincidental that it was inexplicable.
Rosarionovich's attendance at Huang Fei's wedding triggered a duel between Gao Qi and him, and Gao Qi never understood why Rosarionovich would fight with him.
Then, there was a series of coincidences that happened recently.
Why did Yata no Kagami inexplicably fall into Gao Qi's hands?
Why did Rosarionovich directly bring the Spear of Longinus?
After Gao Qi opened the space door and arrived at the City of Angels, the process of running into Tom seemed so smooth, but it was also so coincidental.
Why did the Bounty Hunter Union suddenly release two missions to find Gao Qi, and then why did the Bounty Hunter Union secretly release a bounty mission for him by specifically informing Gao Qi?
Today, now, at this moment, Wu Tong's sudden appearance made things develop smoothly again, but John finally gave Gao Qi a warning call, catching Gao Qi off guard. He had to start thinking about all the situations that he thought were normal before, but now he felt that it was unreasonable.
Now, Gao Qi thought that everything was related to the so-called minority. Then, if he made a simple distinction between friend and foe, the Bounty Hunter Union was on his side, and the enemy was the minority.
He took the initiative to warn John and the people of the Bounty Hunter Union. Then, Wu Tong belonged to the minority, and he was right in front of Gao Qi.
Enlightenment happened in an instant, which was why it was called an epiphany. However, when Gao Qi, who had been confused all this time, suddenly realized what had happened, it was already too late.
Gao Qi knew that it was too late, so Gao Qi said so much to Wu Tong. He wanted to get the answer, but he also knew that it was impossible to get the answer. However, he said a lot to Wu Tong. At least, he could create the illusion that he was already prepared. At the same time, he could also threaten him with words.
Now, Wu Tong's words and attitude confirmed Gao Qi's guess, but it was hard to say whether he would be frightened.
"What will happen if I provoke you?"
After Wu Tong asked Gao Qi, he said helplessly, "I thought you wouldn't find out at all, but since you already know, then I can only say … I don't care what will happen to you."
It was an expected answer. Gao Qi really wanted to ask more, but after a moment of silence, he gave up on that idea.
Slowly glancing at Anna, Gao Qi whispered, "You … Are you the minority?"
Anna did not speak. She only looked at Gao Qi with sympathy and helplessness.
Gao Qi smiled bitterly and said, "As expected, how can a beautiful woman, the daughter of the world's richest man, suddenly fall in love with a stranger? When I was with you, I always felt like I was dreaming. Now that I think about it, it really was a dream."
Anna whispered, "I'm sorry, I had no choice."
Gao Qi shrugged, then looked at Tom and said, "What about you? What's wrong with you?"
Tom was at a loss. He spread out his hands and said, "Master, what do you mean by that?"
Wu Tong said impatiently, "That's enough. At this point, do you think it's possible for him to continue teaching you anything?"
After Wu Tong said that, Tom's expression changed. He shrugged and said to Gao Qi, "I'm sorry, but I won't say anything."
Gao Qi stretched out his hand and pulled his neck. He felt that his throat was a little blocked and he could not breathe. He had tried his best to create the image of an expert, but now he could not hold it anymore.
Gao Qi did not look at Niu Lidong, because he felt that Niu Lidong was not the minority sent to approach him.
Sure enough, Niu Lidong said in a trembling voice, "Brother Qi, what's the situation now? What should we do? "
Gao Qi did not answer Niu Lidong's question. He just looked at Wu Tong again and said, "It's no wonder that every foreigner I've met, and I mean, every person who has anything to do with me, can speak fluent Chinese. It's only now that I understand that it's because I don't know any other languages. If they want to get close to me, they'll have to send someone who can speak to me."
Wu Tong nodded and said, "That must be the case. Otherwise, they can't even speak. How can they get close to you and observe you? But don't look at me like that. Actually, there's no deep conflict between you and those people. I'm not trying to harm you. I just wanted you to meet the City Lord naturally, so I cooperated with them to put on a show."
After saying that, Wu Tong said helplessly, "Now that I've been exposed and messed up, I can't be bothered to put on an act. If you want to give me face, come with me to meet Narson. If you don't, it's fine. You go your way, and I'll go mine. For the sake of you and Master Tree, I promise I won't touch you."
Sadness, anger, and endless sadness. All these emotions came from Anna.
Gao Qi looked at Anna again. He looked deeply at Anna, then lowered his head and muttered to himself, "This world … is really bad!"
Wu Tong waved his hand and said impatiently, "Don't talk anymore. Hurry up and leave. Otherwise, you won't be able to leave. I'm just playing along. I won't kill you even if the show fails. But when the others come, you won't be able to leave even if you want to."
Leave, there's no spaceship in the City of Angels.
Tom's expression was a bit complicated. He took a step forward and stood in front of Gao Qi. He said in a low voice, "I'm sorry, but you won't be able to leave."
Gao Qi didn't say anything, nor did he move.
Anna finally opened her mouth and said with a pleading look, "I'm sorry, I don't have a choice. Can I talk to you? Just the two of us. I have something to tell you. I'm sure you'll change your mind after hearing it."
As she spoke, Anna approached Gao Qi. Then, she reached out and grabbed Gao Qi's arm.
Gao Qi shook his arm and shook Anna's hand off, but Anna hugged him and leaned her head on his chest.
Just before Gao Qi pushed Anna out, he heard Anna say in a very weak voice, "Idiot, hold me hostage! Only then will you have a chance to leave! "
Anger and despair turned into confusion. Gao Qi raised his arm and put it around Anna's neck.
Anna continued in a low voice, "This is far more complicated than you think. But now, while Bernhard is still in the minority, I still have value. Hold me hostage! This is the only hope! "
Before Gao Qi could say anything, Wu Tong said helplessly, "Come on, I'm so close. How can I not hear you?"
Although he said that, Wu Tong had no intention of stopping Gao Qi. He sighed and said, "Hurry up and leave. Anywhere is fine. The Bounty Hunter Union will definitely protect you. There's no need to hold you hostage. It's fine as long as you can hide for a while. But can you stop wasting time?"
Gao Qi finally spoke. After the anger of being betrayed subsided, he said in a helpless but confident tone, "You lack the basic respect for an Archmage. Why do you think I won't leave a trump card for myself?"
