John was completely enraged by Luo Chen's words. What did this guy mean by daring to say that he was inferior to One-Eyed and the others?
To him, it was like comparing himself to trash. John was the leader of a mercenary group, how could he be just someone who was similar to One-Eye?
It's outrageous, it's a joke, a huge joke.
Luo Chen paid no attention to John's expression. In his eyes, everyone was the same. No one was more noble or more powerful than anyone else. They were all his defeated opponents.
Even if John is incredibly capable, he's still tied up in his own car. Does he have any other abilities?
Luo Chen doesn't need to explain who was knocked unconscious by his punch.
"Xiao, you are truly arrogant, utterly arrogant beyond measure. Believe me, you will pay the price. I will definitely kill you, you bastard. If I don't kill you, I won't be able to stay in the mercenary group anymore."
John revealed his ugly side and unleashed a torrent of abuse on Luo Chen.
But in Luo Chen's eyes, all of this was useless; he had only heard a powerless rage.
This is very much in line with their style. When they have no ability to resist, they can only use words to show how powerful they are. But clearly, he has met his match today.
"Alright, alright, stop swearing like a shrew. What are you like now? Right, a clown. What can you do besides verbally provoking me?"
John, sometimes I really feel sorry for you. After all, you've met an opponent like me. If it were any other overpowered protagonist, you'd be dead by now.
"What did you say? What does Long Aotian mean?" John was completely confused. Was Long Aotian some powerful figure again?
Why are they all powerful figures? I finally managed to come down from the mountains, and all I did was run into monsters.
"You don't need to worry about it. Just remember to go with them properly later. If I were you, I would definitely behave and leave as soon as I was rescued, instead of bothering me again, understand?"
Luo Chen glanced at Roy behind him. The guy seemed to be making no move and had been following him slowly.
[Ha, I really thought I couldn't do anything with you guys? You're all quite obedient.]
Bang!
John was still pondering Luo Chen's words when Luo Chen suddenly punched him in the eye.
"ah!"
John groaned, his eyes snapping shut as he instinctively tried to cover them, only to discover his hands were bound again.
"This punch is meant to teach you a lesson. Next time, it won't be like this."
Luo Chen stared coldly at John, then slammed on the gas and sped off.
Once you get past this bend, you'll be close to where Xiao Wu and his group are fighting.
Buzz!
The car roared away and sped off in an instant, leaving Roy behind no time to react. How did it suddenly rush past?
"Quick, follow them."
Without hesitation, Roy ordered the driver to rush forward. He dared not lose track of Luo Chen now; if he wasn't careful, the guy would suddenly disappear, and all his efforts would be in vain.
"Roy, connect me to Mona. I want to talk to her. This is my last chance, you understand?"
Before Roy could react, Luo Chen's words came, suppressing Roy like a royal decree.
"What do you want to do now? What else do you want to do?" Roy was on the verge of collapse, being tormented by Luo Chen time and time again, but the situation was as it was, with no chance at all.
That's the current situation. Roy is almost driven crazy by Luo Chen. No matter what he does, Luo Chen will teach him a lesson. For a moment, he felt like he was Luo Chen's subordinate.
But in the end, he was John's man...
"What? Roy, are you out of your mind? I need you to do what I need you to do, do you have the right to disobey me?"
Luo Chen's icy tone was like a knife constantly cutting into Roy.
"I'll do it right away."
Roy dared not disobey Luo Chen's words, so he quickly switched the channel to Mona and then contacted her, saying, "Mona, Xiao wants to talk to you."
"What do you mean? Roy, can you explain yourself clearly?"
Before Mona could finish speaking, a crackling sound of electricity came through, and the channel had switched to Luo Chen's.
"Mona, long time no see. Did I upset you earlier? Is the injury on your arm any better? I'm a little worried about it."
Luo Chen spoke casually, but he didn't know that his words were like a knife to Mona's heart, stabbing her deeply.
They even asked about the extent of the injury?
Those unaware of their situation might have thought Luo Chen was concerned about Mona and her injuries.
John, who was standing behind Luo Chen, seemed to have become immune to this, and did not express any opinion, only staring at Luo Chen with a cold expression.
"Xiao, what exactly do you want? Do you really want to fight us to the death? I'm warning you, if that's the case, everyone will die. We'll go through fire and water to kill you."
Mona's face contorted in agony, wishing she could kill Luo Chen right now. But the worst part was that her brother John was in Luo Chen's hands, leaving her powerless to do anything she wanted.
There was simply no way to deal with it, and whether it was just an illusion for Luo Chen was irrelevant.
"No, no, I just need you to do a few things right now. You should know that at this point, shouldn't you have your men stop firing immediately and let me pass safely? That way, your brother John will be better protected, won't he?"
Luo Chen's purpose was very simple; at least for now, he only wanted to use John to get there directly at this time, without any other intentions.
Mona pondered for a while. Although her mind was in a mess, she remembered what she had talked about with Roy earlier and understood what she should do.
Meanwhile, Roy in the car behind was also eavesdropping, wanting to know how Mona would behave at this moment. Mona had to perform even better and not let Xiao discover anything unusual, otherwise their previously discussed plan would all be ruined.
"Please, Mona, you must hold on. I believe in you. At this moment, you must not let Xiao detect any unusual tone in your voice."
Roy clasped his hands together, praying for himself, fearing that his good teammate Mona might suddenly let him down at a crucial moment.
"Okay, I promise you. As long as you can safely release my brother, I won't have any problems."
Mona did not disappoint Roy and quickly agreed to all of Luo Chen's requests.
This excited Roy, who knew that Mona was still somewhat useful.
[Agreeing so quickly, are you sure you have nothing to hide?]
Luo Chen smiled faintly, not thinking too much about it. As long as he agreed, there wouldn't be much of a problem.
He then said, "Okay, I like your decision today. However, there's one problem. You need to do one thing now: immediately get your men to cease fire. I'll check. You have ten seconds."
With Luo Chen's constant pressure, Mona, no matter how angry she was, dared not make any mistakes at this critical juncture. If anything went wrong, her brother John would lose his life.
After confirming the matter, Luo Chen was quite satisfied with Mona's performance.
She then turned to John and said, "Look at you, your sister is really obedient, unlike you. If you were as obedient as her, do you think your life would be easier?"
John glared at Luo Chen with swollen eyes, but dared not say anything.
"Alright, the fighting has stopped. What's the next step?"
"Get everyone to stand in a line, no matter where they are, everyone stand in a line, understand?"
"Damn it, Xiao, what do you want me to do? I really want to kill you. Why do you have to do this? I don't understand."
Mona was somewhat annoyed, completely driven to the brink of collapse by Luo Chen. At this point in time, she didn't understand what the best course of action would be for him.
Why make her people stand together, in a row?
"No? Then how about we send John to hell right now?"
Luo Chen spoke slowly in the gentlest of words, but his tone felt like a tight band around Mona's ears, leaving her completely at his mercy.
"No problem, okay, I'll do it right now, calm down."
"Oh, Mona, calm down. He's pressuring you. You must calm down. I believe in you." Roy was on tenterhooks, fearing that something unexpected might happen and Mona would mess things up.
Fortunately, Mona eventually calmed down and did everything Luo Chen said.
Although Roy didn't know why Luo Chen did this, he understood that there must be a reason behind it, and they might not have many more opportunities later.
After having this idea, Roy wanted to remind Mona to make some preparations in secret and not let everyone do it, but he couldn't get in touch with her.
"Xiao, I did it, I did it as you said."
"Very good, I like a woman like you who knows how to be pragmatic. It's a pity you only have one arm. Alas, I am ashamed to admit that I have done so much harm to a beautiful woman like you."
Luo Chen seemed to be intentionally trying to provoke Mona, but Mona remained silent, seemingly enduring the humiliation.
"Now, clear the road. I'll be there soon. I need a clean road, at least one that will allow me to get there quickly, right?"
"..." Mona closed her eyes, then opened them, exhaled, and said, "I will do it immediately!"
