Chapter 508: Chapter 506: The Mouse Swallows the True Dragon [Second Update]

Zhenxi.

Huang Family.

Huang Wu was resting with his eyes closed amidst the swirling smoke.

Opposite him sat a person, none other than Long Zimo.

However, Long Zimo was not in a good state at the moment.

He was bound to a chair, his mouth taped shut; his eyes were bloodshot, veins popping on his face as he kept whining about something!

"Hu!"

Huang Wu stood up, crushing the cigarette butt in the ashtray, got up, walked over to Long Zimo, and looked down at him with a condescending attitude, "You really are something, my men hadn’t even gone looking for you, and here you are, walking right into the net!"

"Wu wu wu!"

Long Zimo kept roaring, but couldn’t utter a single word.

"Want to talk? I’ll allow you to speak, it’s fine."

Huang Wu reached out to tear off the tape sealing Long Zimo’s mouth but suddenly stopped halfway, tilted his head, and then said to Long Zimo,

"By the way, don’t try that spitting trick with me. This isn’t a TV drama, you spit at me, I might make sure you never spit again! Of course, forget about speaking as well!"

His words carried neither sadness nor joy, his tone flat and bland, yet the force behind them was incredibly sharp and cruel!

"Splash!"

After Huang Wu finished speaking, he ripped off the tape sealing Long Zimo’s mouth.

"You underestimate me too much, I wouldn’t do that!"

Long Zimo looked at Huang Wu, his eyes filled with disdain and anger, yet his words remained remarkably calm!

"Very good, I do admire your eyes that look down upon everyone."

Huang Wu applauded, but whether there was any true admiration in it was really unknown.

At this moment, Huang Wu suddenly said with a hint of curiosity,

"Before you ask me any questions, how about you answer one of mine? Such as yourself, do you admire anyone?! Of course, aside from those two kids from Dahong Pavilion, I’m talking about a real figure!"

"There is! Of course, there is! There wasn’t before, but now there is!"

Long Zimo declared emphatically.

"It’s not me, is it."

Huang Wu half-jokingly, half-seriously said.

Truth be told, gaining recognition from someone so stubborn and unyielding gave a sense of achievement!

It’s just like how the ancient Emperors always liked to fuss over some high-minded, so-called talented individuals!

"You?! Not worthy!"

Long Zimo sneered, "A rat who only knows how to scheme in the sewers, worthy of my admiration?!"

Listen to how he speaks—though without a single swear word, it was so piercing!

Yet, Huang Wu wasn’t the least bit angry, instead, he became even more intrigued, "Oh? In your eyes, I’m just a rat, then who is the cat?! Lu Xiaobu?! You admire him?!"

"Yes, I admire him! But he’s not a cat, he’s a true Dragon!"

Long Zimo said fervently, even fanatically, "Compared to him, you’re nothing but a rat!"

"Tsk tsk tsk, such high praise, a true Dragon! I’m starting to feel jealous!"

Huang Wu continued in his half-joking, half-serious manner.

He was actually a bit envious.

But then, he added pensively, "Tell me, if a so-called rat gnaws a so-called true Dragon down to just a skeletal frame, then who is the real Dragon?!"

Huang Wu clearly had no intention of seeking an answer to that question.

After he finished speaking, he sat back down on the sofa, crossing his hands and narrowing his eyes slightly: "Now you can ask your question, I might just answer two of your questions!"

"You did it on purpose! Definitely on purpose! You deliberately led me to find Lu Xiaobu, and then had Lu Xiaobu seek out Dahong Pavilion!"

Long Zimo spoke of this matter, his eyes starting to show signs of Blood Silk once again!

How could he be so stupid, to naively believe Huang Wu’s ostensibly righteous and grandiloquent words!

"Yes, indeed, I was doing a good deed! You needed someone’s recognition, Dahong Pavilion needed an opportunity to demonstrate its ambitions, and Lu Xiaobu needed talent like you—killing three birds with one stone!"

Huang Wu spread his hands: "Is there anything wrong with what I’ve done?!"

"But! You sabotaged Dahong Pavilion! You caused them to have a car accident!!!"

Long Zimo bellowed furiously: "Do you not understand? This is destroying the future of the Heavenly Dynasty’s esports! This is making the Heavenly Dynasty lose face in front of the whole world! You traitor, you criminal!!!"

His rage was beyond description with words.

He had never hated someone this much before!

He had always revered the ancient literati’s concept of sacrificing oneself for justice, of the noble and clear distinction of putting the greater good above personal interest!

This was evident from the fact that, even though he was clearly the most skilled candidate in the initial interviews, he did not hesitate to recommend the obscure Dahong Pavilion!

Therefore, similarly, he despised those like Huang Wu, who are selfish and self-centered, who forsake the greater good for personal interest, and who completely disregard the bigger picture for personal gains, especially when it almost cost two human lives!

"Shh!"

Huang Wu made a silencing gesture, speaking indifferently: "Young man, you can eat the wrong food, but you can’t speak recklessly! I am the good person who offered you a chance for cooperation! As for the car accident you mentioned, I have no idea about it! Who had an accident?! When did they have an accident?! Could it be Dahong Pavilion?! Gasp! That’s too bad, isn’t it?!"

Listen to that, isn’t it infuriating?!

Even an ordinary person would feel their blood boil upon hearing such blatant lies, let alone Long Zimo!

"You are shameless."

Long Zimo roared, his neck veins bulging!

But Huang Wu ignored him, continuing: "As for the loss of face you mentioned, that’s even less of my concern. Lu Xiaobu is in charge of game production, and Lu Xiaobu is the one organizing the events. If they don’t do well, it will indeed be embarrassing, but what does that have to do with me?!"

"Shameless! Shameless! Shameless!!!"

Long Zimo was so angry he could barely form his words.

"Oh, right, now that you mention it, I remember that Lu Xiaobu is indeed in a bit of a precarious situation!"

Huang Wu said as if he had just remembered: "Look, Korea is eyeing us like a tiger watching its prey, waiting to laugh at him. Plus, he is the head of the LOL game company. If he loses face internationally, then Lu Xiaobu will inevitably become the public enemy of the Heavenly Dynasty."

"By then, what about Cola! What about Zhicheng IT! What about Brain Black Gold! What about Lao Ganma! And so on and so forth! I’m afraid no one will buy from them! That’s truly a pity!"

Huang Wu said with an ’extremely regretful’ tone.

But inadvertently, a hint of smugness and ferocity flashed in his eyes.

Lu Xiaobu, your end is nearing!

"Ah!"

Long Zimo could only express his fury with crazed roaring!

The chair beneath him was shaking, a reflection of his physical struggle, as well as the struggle and self-reproach in his heart!

And at this moment.

Huang Wu’s phone rang—it was a message from one of his subordinates.

"What?!"

Upon seeing the message, Huang Wu’s brows furrowed—this was not what he had expected at all!
