Chapter 83 Shadow Four is shaken
Is Bo Yiyan a saint? Of course not!
The reason he took the initiative to befriend Shadow Four was because of his keen insight.
Although Shadow Four was only stunned for a moment when he saw him, it was enough for Boyi to sense something was wrong.
It was unusual in itself that a boy he had just met would recognize him, let alone the fact that he had released his Thousand Threads to sense the boy and discovered that the boy had concealed his strength.
Therefore, he had reason to suspect that the boy must have been sent by someone to investigate Xiaobai and his whereabouts.
Bo Yiyan didn't know who had assigned the boy, but he was certain of one thing: the boy was an enemy, not a friend.
Since he's an enemy, he shouldn't need to be polite. He could just find a blind spot in the surveillance and release a thousand threads to devour him without anyone noticing.
But doing so wouldn't expose the mastermind behind it all, especially since he had discovered something that could be used to turn people against him.
The boy was given a slow-acting poison. With a little analysis, it can be deduced that he must be under someone's control.
How can a master who uses poison to control his subordinates to work for him expect his subordinates to be truly loyal to him?
Once the poison is neutralized, the chain of loyalty will be completely broken.
Haha, it's funny just thinking about it.
Bo Yiyan was very good at disguising himself. At this moment, he was gentle and his handsome face was likable. The perfect amount of sympathy and anger in his eyes made Ying Si think that he was a simple doctor who cared about his patients.
But the patriarch clearly said that this person is an A+ level ability user and is extremely ruthless.
Why would he show sympathy for someone he had just met?
Shadow Four struggled to adjust his facial expression, feigning the terrified look of a boy whose secret had been exposed, and frantically shook his head, saying:
"Doctor, you must be mistaken. How could I be poisoned? I'm just a D-level ability user. My job is to run errands and deliver goods every day. Who would waste precious poison on me?"
"Child, you don't have to admit it, and I won't force you to. But please believe me, I can definitely concoct the antidote you need."
"Of course, if you're willing to be enslaved for life and endure the torment of this poison, then let's pretend we never met." Bo Yiyan smiled faintly, pushed open the elevator door, and walked out.
Shadow Four used his shadow magic to follow him from a distance, watching as he entered several herbal medicine shops and purchased a lot of rare medicinal herbs.
Finally, he entered the largest potion shop in Silvermoon City and took out several potions he had concocted himself, which attracted the attention of the shop's manager, who came over in person.
They offered him extremely generous terms, wanting to hire him as their business's chief pharmacist, but he refused them all.
Helpless, the person in charge had no choice but to pay a high price to buy his potions. Even after he had walked a long way away, the person in charge was still sighing, "What a pity! Such a talented pharmacist can't be of any use to us."
This scene made Ying Si's heart pound. He was only ten years old at the time, but the memory of the three days the patriarch had tortured them was still vivid.
Later, Yingyi and the others told him that the patriarch would improve their lives every ten days by having the cook bring them cooked high-level alien beast meat, but that meat contained poison.
They all knew it, but they dared not refuse to eat.
Originally, Shadow Four was truly loyal to the family head, but afterwards he began to harbor resentment.
The four of them never intended to betray the family head, yet they were treated with such cruel methods by him.
Shadow Four desperately wanted to completely cure the poison, and he believed that Shadow One, Shadow Two, and Shadow Three must also desperately want to cure it.
But he was also afraid that if one of the three of them was a loyal follower of the family head and leaked the information, even if he cured the poison, he would still be doomed.
Shadow Four was unsure which of the three he should believe and which he should doubt, and he was caught in a dilemma.
However, he was unwilling to give up this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to detoxify.
He followed behind Bo Yiyan, and as Bo Yiyan stepped into the hotel elevator, he finally rushed in.
At that moment, there were still a few guests in the elevator, and they couldn't help but glance at him as he rushed in so recklessly.
One of the older women glared at him and said, "You child, if you miss the elevator, you can just wait a bit before getting on. What if you get hurt by rushing in like this?"
"I'm sorry, I'm in a hurry," Shadow Four quickly apologized.
"Hmph! You don't need to apologize to me. The person you've wronged is yourself!" the old lady scolded.
Ying Si lowered his head and remained silent, but his eyes were fixed on Bo Yiyan. When he saw Bo Yiyan walk out of the elevator, he immediately followed him out of the elevator.
"Have you figured it out?" Bo said calmly.
"Doctor, I'm afraid I can't afford the fee you ask for." Shadow Four looked up, putting on a pitiful expression.
During his training, his instructor said that even the most hard-hearted person would be moved by his appearance.
Bo Yiyan outwardly feigned being moved by his pitiful appearance, but inwardly he sneered:
Trying to play the victim with him? Too bad you picked the wrong person. Bo Yiyan is always cold and ruthless to outsiders, except to those he considers his own people.
"At such a young age, you certainly can't afford a generous reward."
Here's what we'll do: if you can find out Senator Martin Gordon's whereabouts in the Union Congress over the next three days, as well as his hotel or residence, I'll send you the antidote for free.
Bo Yiyan smiled gently, much like the wolf grandmother who tricked Little Red Riding Hood, although Shadow Four was actually more than ten times more ruthless than he appeared.
"Is your reward really that simple?" Shadow Four was a little incredulous, but Boyi nodded.
“Alright, I’ll use this information to exchange for the antidote!” Shadow Four said decisively.
He was given a task by the head of the family this time. The job of running errands and delivering goods was to cover his identity, and he could also inquire about information about a relatively famous person. It was not difficult at all.
And as long as he doesn't report Dr. Bo's information for the time being, he has a reason to continue this errand-running job. The three of them, including Shadow One, won't suspect him, and the head of the family certainly won't either.
Shadow Four decides to take a risk and find out the information for Dr. Bo, in exchange for the antidote, and then report his information to Shadow One and the others.
As for whether they want the antidote or not, that's entirely up to them. If the three of them fight amongst themselves over the antidote, he can take the opportunity to see clearly which of the four shadows is truly loyal to the family head.
