Super Soldier

Chapter 392 Cold-blooded and Cruel

When Red Rose walked to the door, Bai Jun swatted her back. He did not intend to kill her, but this strike sealed off all the power in her. Red Rose fell to her knees, feeling extremely weak. She even found it difficult to get to her feet.

Red Rose raised her head and saw Bai Jun’s ruthless face. She finally had no more illusions about Bai Jun. Though the swat merely sealed her strength, her former injuries were affected. A streak of blood ran down from the corner of her mouth. “You…” She said this with resentment.

The other patriarchs had not expected that Bai Jun would be so resolute. After all, Red Rose had been his loyal supporter before. But now he was the first to strike her.

Bai Jun glanced at the other three patriarchs and said placidly, “Now, no mercy is tolerated. Second patriarch, I won’t kill you even if our god is revived. The five of us will be his strongest supporters. I will not kill you, but you cannot leave this cabin until the ceremony is over.

Red Rose looked at them and said, “They are all our brothers and sisters whom we meet every day. And you want 64 of them to be sacrificed. How can you be so cruel?”

Feng XIII smiled and said, “Bai Jun is right. One must not be irresolute. Indeed they are our brothers and sisters who have been living with for many years. But don’t forget that we are not only human. We are also snakes. Humans are powerful, but they have their weakness: too many emotions. How can we be the same as them?”

Red Rose said, “Don’t forget that half of our blood is human.”

Feng XIII said coldly, “We should be ashamed of it, not proud of it. Bai Jun, don’t let her tell anyone about this. Lock her up first.”

“Okay.” Bai Jun walked over to her and stunned her with a swat. Then he opened the door and summoned two men to carry her into the room behind.

While the two men were carrying Red Rose to another room, Xiao Bing hid behind the door instantly. He had not been noticed. Xiao Bing kept listening to them, discreetly.

After everyone sat down, Feng XIII said, “Red Rose is being indecisive. She cannot be released until the ceremony is over. And we must not let her tell this to the others. Otherwise there will be chaos.”

Bai Jun said, “Snake Ba, Yu Ban, you two will watch over her before the ceremony begins. Remember, don’t harm her.”

Grinning, the Fifth Patriarch nodded.

Snake Ba looked at Feng XIII and asked, “King Mamba, what’s the exact plan?”

“Let’s choose 64 of our elites first. We will invite them to the ceremony, then they will be drugged and later will be offered to our god. I suppose they will feel greatly honored to offer themselves as a sacrifice to our god.”

Feng XIII stood up and said, “Alright. Before we take any action, please pretend that this meeting did not exist. After our god is revived, we will be the rulers of this world.”

All the eyes of the other patriarchs’ eyes glittered when they heard it.

While Feng XIII was about to leave, he suddenly recalled a problem. “I remember there is a human in Second Patriarch’s cabin. Since she is grounded now, we should take him and sacrifice as a tonic during the ceremony.”

Snake Ba suddenly stood up and bellowed, “I’ll do it myself!”

Obviously he was jealous of Xiao Bing being together with Red Rose. He had fallen in love with the woman long before Xiao Bing came to this place. So he wanted very badly for Xiao Bing to be dead.

“Okay.” Feng XIII, “But don’t forget that I need him alive.”

Snake Ba then stormed out of the room. Bai Jun stood up and said, “We should leave as well. Fifth Patriarch, please take good care of the Second Patriarch. She must be unharmed.”

Then everyone left the room, except for Yu Ban, the Fifth Patriarch.

He walked past the back. Xiao Bing hid under a bed. He found the echoes of the footfalls getting louder and louder.

Xiao Bing saw clearly what this man looked like through the gap. This man seemed to be in his forties, his face was a triangular shape, the cruelty in his eyes was plain to see.

Xiao Bing heard this man speaking in a gloomy voice, “Red Rose, you have always been an untouchable woman. I wager that you never expected that you would fall into my hands one day. What a Snake Beauty you are. I can’t wait to strip you and…”

Xiao Bing was listening carefully under the bed. He decided that if Yu Man truly did something to Red Rose, he would kill him, even if it might get him exposed.

Xiao Bing lived by his own code. Though he did not love this Snake Beauty, she had shared her bed with him. Xiao Bing would not let anyone hurt the women he had slept with.

Fortunately, Yu Ban did not do anything. “But Bai Jun warned me not to touch you. He’s a scary man. If I defied his orders. he might kill me. Damn it…” His voice was thick with regret.

Then he walked out ruefully, without turning back.

Xiao Bing came out and saw Red Rose lying on the bed, untouched. He bent over and kissed the woman. “Maybe it’s a good thing for you. You will be truly free after the ceremony.”

But it was a different kind of freedom. Xiao Bing wanted to stop the ceremony and take Red Rose out of here, as he had promised her.

As for what they would do after that, Xiao Bing had not thought about it yet. But he would tell her that it was inappropriate and impossible for them to be a couple. She could live the carefree life she had hoped for and see this beautiful world.

Xiao Bing left the room. Since Snake Ba would not find him in that cabin, Xiao Bing supposed that Snake Ba would search for him in this land. But it did not matter because it was easy for Xiao Bing to hide from them. Now Xiao Bing needed to become familiar with the surroundings, and he decided to tell their plans to the others. They wanted to sacrifice 64 of them… Though they were not humans in his world, half of their blood belonged to humans. Xiao Bing could not watch them die.

Back at the Cathaysian State, they had not heard from Xiao Bing for 5 days. Even Old Ban, the Director of Safety Administration, was worried that something had happened to Xiao Bing. He smoked a lot these days. He was the one who found and trained this man. It was the proudest thing he had ever done his life. But now Xiao Bing had been missing for days, and the anxiety nagged at him.

He had lost his temper at the technical department many times, because they lost track of him when Xiao Bing was wearing the tracking system.

While he was feeling very upset, there was a knock at the door. “Come in!” he said impatiently, without his usual calmness.

A young man walked in and was overwhelmed by the smoke in the room. He felt afraid. As he had expected, Old Ban asked petulantly, “What is it? I told you that I do not want to be disturbed.”

The young man said tentatively, “There’s news from Country R.”

“What?” Monitor stubbed out the cigarette and said excitedly, “News about Xiao Bing?”

“No…” The young man had an awkward smile, “But it might have something to do with him.”

Monitor frowned, and said with dissatisfaction, “Just get to the point.” .”

“As you say. Our men have found that Iza Kawatani, the martial god of Country R, has landed on an island. We did some checking and we are sure that it was the place where we lost track of him. So the island Iza Kawatani landed on might have something to do with Captain Xiao’s whereabouts.

Monitor stood up and said in a low voice, “Tell the vice director that I’ll be gone for days. If anything happens, tell him to handle it first.”

The young man gasped. “Director, what are you planning to do?”

Monitor said, “I will go to that island to see what is happening.”

The young man said hurriedly, “Please think over it first. We don’t know what the situation is like over there. What if there is danger?”

Monitor snorted. “Few men on earth are able to harm me. I’m an old man, but not everyone can beat me. I’ll go there and see if I can find Xiao Bing and bring him back. Otherwise he might suffer in the hands of those people.”

The young man managed a wry smile, “But it’s their place and they have the numbers… And your identity is very special. Diplomatic problems can easily arise.”

Monitor had decided on the spur of the moment to go. But he sighed and became his usual calm self after he heard what the young man had just said.
