The green-haired man was writhing so violently on the ground that Zhao Gang, fearing he might break himself, took pity on him and pulled the towel stuffed in his mouth off.

As soon as he got a chance to speak, the green-haired man went berserk and yelled, "Boss, I'm your dog!"

Zhao Xiaoxiu and the others all looked down at him in shock.

The green-haired man spoke rapidly, like a machine gun: "Boss, I know where Steven and the others are looking for. Boss, you must be interested in that too. As long as you let me stay and be your slave... no, even a dog, I'll do it. No, no, no, as long as you want me, even if I can't stay and be your dog, just say the word and I'll take you there right now!"

Seemingly worried that Zhao Gang wouldn't believe him, he turned sideways, using his shoulder to prop himself up, his hands bound behind his back as he knelt on the ground, looking up with sincere eyes and saying:

"It would be my greatest honor to see you again in my lifetime. I would die happy if I could do that. But before I die, I still hope that you can get that batch of goods."

He pleaded in the most humble tone, "Could you come a little closer? Those things can only be known to you. I'll die after I tell you, if you wish..."

"Brother Gangzi, has he gone mad?" The Meng brothers swallowed hard, expressing the same question.

Zhao Xiaoxiu tilted her head. She had just been thinking for a while and seemed to have really seen the green-haired man in front of her before.

On their way from Hope Base to Peach Blossom Base, she and her father encountered a group of street racers from the shantytown. The green-haired guy brazenly shouted that he was going to rob them.

In the end, not only was he controlled by his father's words, but his father also drove away in an old man's car.

"You robbed us," Zhao Xiaoxiu said with certainty, pointing at the green-haired man who was excitedly pledging his loyalty.

The green-haired man's expression changed instantly. He was first surprised that the father and daughter remembered who he was, then afraid that they would take the opportunity to take revenge. His disheveled face was full of surprises, and finally turned into two fawning laughs.

"My dear aunt, it was all a misunderstanding. I was blind to your greatness back then, and now I realize my mistake, really!"

Upon closer inspection, Zhao Xiaoxiu noticed that his eyes were filled with stubbornness and fanaticism, as well as a primal survival instinct hidden beneath.

He still wanted to live; it wasn't that he truly didn't care about life and death.

Of course, she had no doubt that if her father told him to die, he would die immediately.

Zhao Xiaoxiu felt that she could never learn the monster father's superb mind control in her entire life.

Seeing that Zhao Xiaoxiu was just staring at him without saying a word, the green-haired man hurriedly said:

"If you give me another chance, I'll be your dog for life, doing whatever you tell me to do, to atone for the mistakes I've made!"

Zhao Gang lowered his eyes slightly, looking down at him and scrutinizing every expression on his face.

"Are you afraid of Steven?" Zhao Gang asked curiously.

The green-haired man was visibly taken aback. Unable to lie to Him, he lowered his head honestly and said in a muffled voice:

"Yes, I'm afraid of Steven. He's a master of torture. Knowing that I betrayed the Alliance, he will definitely not let me go. Just thinking about his torture methods makes me shudder."

Zhao Gang asked, puzzled, "If you're so afraid, why did you choose to betray the alliance?"

"I didn't mean to do that!"

The green-haired man suddenly became agitated, "It was the group of people who were transporting the goods together who betrayed the alliance. They fought amongst themselves for the goods and all of them died. I was lucky enough to go to the toilet and survived, but I can't explain why all of them died, so I have to run away first."

Zhao Gang: "You can tell Steven what you know before you run, then Steven won't chase you."

“You don’t understand Steven. As soon as I hand over my only bargaining chip, he can immediately drag me into his lab to be a guinea pig.”

The green-haired man cried in despair, sobbing, "At least I'm alive. He has plenty of ways to make me wish I were dead..."

Seeing his appearance, the Meng brothers both thought of Steven, whom they had met the night before.

He could easily open his mouth and say a few words, and that was enough to make the two brothers almost let this poor wretch go today.

I can't even imagine what terrible things an evil person would do to their fellow human beings after gaining the power of mind control.

Thinking of this, the two brothers couldn't help but get goosebumps. They quickly hugged their arms and stood in a sunny spot, rubbing their arms vigorously.

The monkey sister reached out her paw and touched Zhao Xiaoxiu's face, smoothing down the bristling hairs on her cheeks. The poor little one must have been terrified by that wretched Steven.

Zhao Xiaoxiu, who just felt a bit cold in the room, was speechless.

As the group listened to the green-haired man's tragic and desperate story inside the house, the copper bell hanging at the entrance of the territory was suddenly shaken, ringing out "Ding-a-ling!"

The expressions of the people in the courtyard immediately changed.

The green-haired man quickly crawled to his knees behind Zhao Gang, trembling as he pleaded in a low voice, "Everyone, please don't open the door! I'm really going to die a horrible death, please..."

Meng Er couldn't stand his cowardly behavior and said disdainfully, "If you're this scared, you should really hang yourself, or I can lend you a knife so you can slit your own throat and die a quicker death!"

It's shameful to say that a grown man could be scared to death by a human being, even though he wasn't scared to death by a mutant.

The green-haired man stammered, "I...I can't do it."

Meng Er raised his gun, gritting his teeth: "His father—"

Meng Da hurriedly told his younger brother not to swear in front of the children, and turned to Zhao Gang, "Brother Gang, what do we do next?"

......

The house is situated on slightly higher ground; beyond the flower wall, the entrance area is clearly visible.
