Chapter 765: 408 Betrayal

"Bang!" Bai Yi’s body was sent flying backward, crashing heavily into an abandoned building, almost falling apart. He spat out a mouthful of blood and struggled to lift his head, looking at the person in front of him with disbelief, "Cough! Cough! You... you actually... actually betrayed me!"

The person standing in front of him was none other than Chu Li, the former deputy squad leader of the Poison Wolf Mercenary Corps. Now, he had become a squad leader in the White Wolf Mercenary Corps. As a veteran of the Poison Wolf Mercenary Corps, he had always been regarded as a trusted subordinate by Bai Yi. Both Bai Yi and Bai Zhengyi valued Chu Li’s abilities highly and had provided him with relatively more resources, treating him quite favorably.

So Bai Yi had always thought that Chu Li would be the sharpest blade in his hand, but he had never imagined that one day this blade would turn against him! He thought he had treated Chu Li well, how could he have expected this betrayal?

He stared at Chu Li, his eyes filled with disbelief and intense anger. He tried to get up, but his body felt like it had fallen apart, causing him unbearable pain with the slightest movement. What terrified him even more was that he felt something was wrong inside his body, his superpower was becoming sluggish!

What on earth was going on!

The inability to operate his superpower meant that although he still possessed it, he couldn’t use it at all, no different from ordinary people! How tormenting was it to suddenly lose the power he was accustomed to? He felt increasingly horrified, even his scholarly and handsome face seemed to suddenly become ferocious.

Despite being used to being high above others, although he was seriously injured and unable to use his superpower, he still growled at Chu Li with a fierce exterior but apprehensive interior, "Chu Li! What is going on? Why did you betray me?"

Unexpectedly, Chu Li stood five steps away from him, not coming closer, but smiling and looking down at him. Meeting Bai Yi’s angry gaze, he raised a finger and gently shook it, smiling as he said, "Young Commander Bai, you’re wrong. I did not betray you, because... I never pledged loyalty to you. How can there be betrayal?"

"You—" Bai Yi glared, his eyes filled with rage as he stared at Chu Li, "Why? Why did you do this? Who is the mastermind behind you? Are you Zhao Qiankun’s man? Chu Li, are you still a man? Didn’t the Bai Family treat you well? How could you do this to us!"

Bai Yi looked at Chu Li in front of him, feeling a chill in his heart. He had always admired Chu Li, thinking that he was not only scholarly and handsome, but his demeanor and actions carried an elegant and composed air, just like a noble son from a prestigious family. Even the chill in Chu Li’s voice, he found to be a rare quality. But at this moment, he suddenly felt that Chu Li was nothing but an untamed venomous snake!

His gaze was cold, his voice was cold, because he was essentially a cold-blooded and heartless person! It was laughable that he had once admired such a venomous snake like this, even offering valuable resources just for his loyalty!

As Bai Yi was just thinking this, he suddenly felt a coldness enveloping his body. He suddenly remembered that Dr. Li, the scientist who developed the SEP series potions in the lab, was introduced to him by Chu Li! He remembered his excitement when he found out that Dr. Li’s research direction was similar to Dr. Sun’s. Dr. Sun had been researching the Evolution Potion and was on the verge of success when Zhao Qiankun sabotaged it, destroying the entire lab and foiling everything!

To counter Zhao Qiankun, the Bai Family had always hoped to quickly enhance the strength of their superpower users, and such an Evolution Potion was urgently needed by the Bai Family! After meeting Dr. Li, he had used all means to check his background, and finding nothing amiss, Bai Yi allowed Dr. Li to enter the research facility and met all his demands as much as possible!

After some time, Dr. Li developed SEP-1, and both he and Bai Zhengyi were overjoyed when the experiment was successful. However, since SEP-1 was of a relatively low level, its use to them was limited. Therefore, they invested more resources and gradually had SEP-2, SEP-3, and even the recently developed SEP-4!

The success in developing the Evolution Potion just as they were about to confront Zhao Qiankun gave them an added advantage. He was almost desperate to take the potion, and seeing himself successfully advance to Level 4, his trust in Chu Li became even more deeply ingrained. Thus, for this plan to eliminate Zhao Qiankun, Bai Zhengyi specifically arranged for Chu Li to join him.
