Beautiful CEO's Super Expert-Chapter 830: Hostage-taking
His plan was very good, but he didn't anticipate that Su Chen would see through his hiding early and swiftly dash towards the shore.
Although his speed was faster than Su Chen's, his reaction was ultimately slower by a beat. As he reached the shore, Su Chen also leaped into the air, almost simultaneously arriving at the shore!
Although Su Chen hadn't noticed anything unusual below, he guessed that there were definitely people ambushed by the deep ravine.
Otherwise, Elder Chen wouldn't hide on the opposite side, waiting for a chance to cut the iron cable. Even if he fell from the middle of the ten-meter-deep ravine, he would just get a little hurt, with no major issues.
At this moment, Mo Wei also walked out from the bushes; the rustling of the leaves earlier had been caused by him.
He had suffered a severe injury from Su Chen's Sword Qi, lost some control over himself, causing some minor movements.
"Didn't expect your observation to be so sharp, noticing us!"
Elder Chen said casually.
Although his plan failed, he didn't have much regret. To him, it would still be easy to kill this kid.
His earlier arrangements were more for caution's sake since this kid hadn't even reached the Meridian Expansion Realm yet, but still had such cultivation abilities, which was indeed strange!
Of course, in front of his absolute power, the kid was nothing but a clown causing no waves!
"Kid, the humiliation at Lingyue Palace earlier, I will make sure to return it double!"
Mo Wei said, his eyes blazing as he stared at Su Chen:
"At Lingyue Palace, you had Liu Yin protecting you. Now let's see what tricks you can pull!"
This was the first time he had faced such humiliation in his life; naturally, he found it hard to swallow.
He also believed that Su Chen was no match for Elder Chen, even if he had the strength of Meridian Expansion Fourth Layer!
Because Elder Chen was one of the four major elders of Shengyi Gate, second only to his father!
Su Chen was also aware of this. The terrifying aura emanating from Elder Chen made it difficult for him to withstand!
Just then, he heard some movement from below. He turned to look, only to see four or five people climbing up.
These people had excellent cultivation, at least two among them had strength comparable to Mo Wei's. He saw that the man who humiliated Meng Jiao earlier was also among them.
He hadn't expected him to recover so quickly, presumably taking some miraculous medicine.
Su Chen thought he must quickly resolve this matter, as facing a group attack from these people would be too much pressure!
"It was my fault earlier. What do I need to do for you to forgive me and let me go?"
Su Chen asked "fearfully," with a "terrified" expression on his face.
"Scared now?"
Mo Wei said with a triumphant smile upon seeing Su Chen's demeanor.
"Understood. Please show mercy! I'll do whatever you ask!"
Su Chen said "submissively" with hands folded in supplication.
"You'll do anything?"
Mo Wei glanced at Su Chen mischievously.
"Alright, kneel down and call me grandfather three times, and I'll let you go."
Mo Wei said contemptuously.
Upon hearing this, Su Chen's eyes flashed with a trace of cold light but quickly restrained himself.
"That doesn't seem right."
Su Chen remarked as if he were troubled.
"If you don't want to, then forget it!"
Mo Wei retorted coldly.
Upon hearing this, Su Chen trembled and quickly said:
"If I kneel, will you really let me go?"
"Of course!"
Mo Wei replied playfully.
In reality, he was deceiving Su Chen; he had no intention of letting him go, regardless of whether he kneeled.
However, he did enjoy playing with the guy who had publicly embarrassed him.
Elder Chen naturally knew this too, so he stood by silently.
Moreover, he didn't believe Su Chen could pull any tricks in his presence.
"I... I'll kneel."
Su Chen said seemingly filled with incomparable humiliation.
Neither Elder Chen nor Mo Wei doubted him, given that no one wants to die!
In the face of absolute power, compromising is often the only option. They had seen such scenarios countless times!
Su Chen's face showed "shame and anger" as he slowly approached Mo Wei, knees slightly bending...
Watching this, Mo Wei's heart was filled with a sense of satisfaction, as if all his previous grievances and humiliation had vanished!
At that moment, Su Chen suddenly pulled out a cylindrical object from his pocket and threw it between Mo Wei and Elder Chen!
A thick smoke immediately rose, enveloping the surroundings, with a pungent and irritating odor!
At the same time, Su Chen kicked his legs, shooting forward like an arrow. As he passed by Mo Wei, he placed a hand on his shoulder, pulling him away!
This sudden turn of events shocked Elder Chen, who immediately kicked at where Su Chen was standing, but missed!
Elder Chen quickly escaped the smoke, only to find the previously "terrified" young man now ten meters away!
More crucially, the young master was in his grasp, a knife now pressed against the young master's neck!
"Kid, you tricked us!"
Elder Chen's eyes narrowed, emitting a terrifying gleam!
"So what? It only shows that you're stupid!"
Su Chen sneered, showing none of his previous fearful demeanor!
Everything Su Chen had done earlier was an act. He had planned ahead before crossing the bridge, knowing he wouldn't win in a fight.
The only way out was to hold the young master of Shengyi Gate hostage, forcing them to let him go!
So he had placed a few smoke bombs from the Special Security Bureau in his pocket, preparing to strike unexpectedly!
These smoke bombs were not ordinary; they were specially made by the bureau, capable of producing a large amount of smoke instantly, with a pungent, irritating odor.
Though the area was open, Su Chen needed only a moment, so it didn't matter.
"What do you want? Let me go, or you'll regret it!"
Mo Wei, with a knife at his throat, shouted angrily.
"Shush, don't shout. If my hand slips and cuts your artery, that would be bad."
Su Chen said lightly.
Hearing this, Mo Wei's face turned pale with fear.
At this moment, the people climbing up from the ravine had also reached the top.
They didn't expect that upon coming up, they'd encounter such a situation...
