Chapter 278: The Decline of the Banker
He was lifted up in mid-air, and in full view of everyone, his hands kept tearing at his neck, but he couldn't grab anything. As the sound of "ugh ugh" began, his feet began to flutter and struggle unconsciously. At first the amplitude was very large, but gradually they began to become weak, and his eyes seemed to be popping out.
Lu Weiyi seemed to have done nothing, he just leaned on the sofa calmly.
"Enough!" Mr. Zhuang suddenly said.
The force suddenly loosened, and Zhuang Mingwu fell to the ground, coughing violently.
"Admit it?" Lu Weiyi said.
Mr. Zhuang didn't say anything, but asked, "Where is Mingxu?"
"Imprisoned him," Lu Weiyi said nonchalantly, "Isn't this what you suggested he do? Thank you for reminding me, it feels great the other way around."
"It was really you who did it," Brigade Commander Sun said in an incredible tone, "You actually attacked your own comrades."
"This is a superpower transplantation experiment. It's better to have superpowers yourself than to have other people's superpowers," Lu Xiao interrupted.
Every time he rewatched the video, he could think of Lu Xi being tortured, and he gritted his teeth even more.
"The winner takes it all, what do you want to do?" Old Master Zhuang said nothing and looked at Lu Weiyi.
"The relevant videos have been sent to all the teams involved. You, the Zhuang family, must be held responsible for this matter." Lu Weiyi said here, and paused slightly, "I will announce to the outside world that all members of the Zhuang family are dead. From now on, you must live in hiding."
This meant that the banker’s glory had come to an end. No one in the living room could accept this and they started to make noises.
"The younger generations below are all unaware of this." Mr. Zhuang's words were tantamount to admitting that the Zhuang family was a participant.
"But they are definitely the beneficiaries." This also means there is no room for negotiation. Lu Weiyi continued, "The prerequisite is that they must endure what my only team member has endured."
"What do you mean?" Zhuang Mingwen, who had been hiding in the corner and didn't say a word even when Zhuang Chengli was injured, suddenly spoke.
"What it means is that all the psychics in the Zhuang family will experience what they have experienced," Lu Weiyi said, and looked at Old Man Zhuang, "Of course that doesn't include you, otherwise if you die in there, wouldn't I have to bear the reputation of being disrespectful to the elderly."
His words made the faces of several people with supernatural powers in the banker change immediately, while those who were unaware of the situation were confused.
"Oh, you still want fame?" Zhuang Mingwen sneered.
Lu Weiyi had a headache and didn't want to argue with him. "You choose the people yourself. If he can't bear it and dies on it, you can only blame his bad luck. You captured fourteen of my psychics, so you should also provide fourteen psychics on your side."
Antonio is a vengeful person, and Dean is his life. If Lu Weiyi does nothing and takes the blame for the banker, I believe that since Antonio has saved his life many times, he will not necessarily go against him, but he can't avoid resentment.
It would be better to be flexible and give him a tit-for-tat revenge so that he can vent his anger.
In the living room, no one spoke for a while. Everyone looked at Mr. Zhuang tacitly, even Mr. Zhuang San, who had a rare opportunity to be the head of the family recently, looked at him.
Mr. Zhuang's hair had turned gray, and he stood with his back straight, as if he was angered by Lu Weiyi's words, and he couldn't hide the heaving of his chest.
After a long while, he looked around and saw that the people in charge were all disappointed, and all the people who could be mobilized were suppressed by Lu Xiao.
When they didn't notice, Lu Xiao had already gained control of enough people to overthrow their position. He had to admit that attacking the only team was really a bad idea.
If not...
He didn't think any further. He looked at Lu Weiyi, whose back seemed broken, and lowered his head and said, "I want to see Mingxu."
This is still hoping to start with Zhuang Mingxu.
Lu Weiyi finally felt like someone was sucking his blood.
He didn't know whether Zhuang Mingxu felt the same way as he did now when he faced Ji Heng, feeling disgusted but also heartbroken for the person whose blood was being sucked.
Lu Weiyi ignored what Mr. Zhuang said. He looked at the time and said, "I will come to bring people in five hours. If you haven't decided who will go..." He glanced around and said, "Then just leave fourteen lives."
Everyone in the living room dared not speak out. Mr. Zhuang had never suffered such humiliation in his life, even in his high position. He glared at Lu Weiyi. If looks could kill, he would definitely be a dice.
"Are you thinking that it would have been better if you could have killed me at all costs?" Lu Weiyi finally couldn't help but ask what he said in his previous life.
Mr. Zhuang didn't say anything, but his expression gave his answer.
"It's a pity that you didn't seize the opportunity." Lu Weiyi thought of the "accidents" that happened in his childhood. He didn't think anything of it when he was sick then, but now that he has recovered, he has begun to feel unyielding.
Mr. Zhuang's chest heaved violently with anger. Lu Weiyi suspected that if he wasn't a person with special abilities, he would have to curl up.
Seeing him like this, Lu Weiyi had no intention of continuing to be angry and stood up to leave.
Lu Xiao waved to the people who followed him and said, "Golden Eagle, send my nephew back."
"Yes, Master Xiao," the golden eagle responded.
"Let him take a look at you. Your uncle is worried." Lu Xiao wanted to pat Lu Weiyi's shoulder, but seeing his expression, he was worried that something might happen to this delicate nephew, so he just touched him lightly in the end.
Lu Weiyi nodded, stood up and walked out. He paused slightly at the door, but ultimately did not look back.
After watching the people leave the yard, Lu Xiao turned back, took out a cigarette from his inner pocket, lit it and took a puff. He sat down on the sofa with a bold move and looked at the family opposite, "Grandpa, now it's my turn to talk about our business."
"What do you want to talk about?" Mr. Zhuang seemed to have aged a lot in an instant, and there was some fatigue on his face.
"I believe I have never done anything wrong to the banker. How dare you attack Lu Xi?"
"We didn't intend to attack him. We wanted to get him out as soon as possible, but..."
However, the disappearance of Lu Weiyi and Xu Yi caused them great panic. This matter was originally private, and they did not dare to alarm a large number of people. They could only send limited manpower to investigate the whereabouts of these two people, and temporarily ignored the laboratory.
Zhuang Chengye felt a little regretful at this time. If he had known this earlier, perhaps he should have sent someone to inform Zhuang Mobai as soon as possible, or perhaps they should not have targeted the only team from the beginning.
They could have obviously not interfered with each other, and Zhuang Mingxu might even have benefited from it, but because of a momentary thought, they have reached the point where it is irreversible.
Zhuang Chengye's internal organs were injured by the previous blow, and his voice was like a broken bellows, wheezing.
Zhuang Mingwu, who had recovered, had a clear bruise on his neck, as if he had been hanged. He helped Zhuang Chengye sit down. He looked dazed and didn't understand what had happened.
Lu Xiao sneered and didn't ask any more questions.
There was no need to pursue the matter at this time. Even if Lu Xi was not around, Lu Weiyi was still his nephew. The banker had always excluded Lu Weiyi. Although they never said it in front of him, he had heard it before.
Before the end of the world, the banker was in a high position and Lu Xiao could not do anything. Fortunately, Zhuang Mingxu protected Lu Weiyi very well and some of the banker's tricks never succeeded, so Lu Xiao turned a blind eye and let it go.
But now it is the end of the world, and even though he knew that Lu Weiyi had superpowers, he still dared to attack them. I don’t know if it’s because he has been in a high position for too long and can’t see the situation clearly, but he is too confident.
Lu Xiao didn't want to say anything extra, and informed the communication, "I will take my men away from the banker, including taking away all the supplies that my men have found, and you guys will just fend for yourself as for the rest."
No one under Lu Xiao was sent for experiments. He kept a strict watch on his subordinates and never allowed them to go out alone. If they went out on a mission, he would check it personally and not give the other party any chance to attack.
As for the supplies, that is even easier to say. The Zhuang family is already divided, and the supplies collected by different forces are all stored in separate warehouses. Now he only needs to take over his own warehouse and does not even need to change locations.
Without waiting for Mr. Zhuang's answer, Lu Xiao looked up at Brigadier General Sun and Major Liu and asked, "What about you? Will you stay with me or go out on your own?"
Neither of them spoke for a while. Compared to Lu Xiao, their forces were relatively weak. If they were independent, they would not be able to gain a foothold in the entire base and would easily attract targeting from other forces. However, they were somewhat unwilling to rely on Lu Xiao.
The two men looked at each other, and Brigade Commander Sun said, "I'll think about it."
The banker has already taken action against them, and they can't continue to follow them. Otherwise, not only will the people under them be disheartened, but they themselves will also feel disheartened.
Lu Xiao nodded and looked at everyone in the living room, "You stay here until the results come out. If you leave this villa..."
He paused and said, "The consequences are definitely not what you want to know."
After saying that, he looked at a young man who had been waiting behind him and said, "Flying Eagle, you take your men to guard this place."
"Yes," Feiying replied.
At this point, there seemed to be nothing else to say. Lu Xiao took a deep puff of his cigarette and put it out on the table. He stood up and strode out.
Brigade Commander Sun and Major Liu looked at the banker who was about to go bankrupt, sighed, and followed him out of the villa.
"Master Xiao, are they still alive?" asked Major Liu.
Although there were deaths in the video they watched, there were also people who persisted, and he wanted to know how they were doing.
"Even if he's alive, he's useless." Lu Xiao looked at the two of them with a smile, waiting for them to continue.
"They are also soldiers under me, Liu Dalong," Major Liu said in a sonorous and powerful voice.
Such bloodiness made Lu Xiao's expression more restrained. Seeing that he didn't say anything, Brigade Commander Sun quickly handed him a cigarette and said, "Master Xiao, we have been comrades-in-arms for many years and are brothers. Is there anything that can't be said directly?"
"I'm not sure if there are any survivors. Now everyone is in the hands of the only team."
