Chapter 694: Go Back and Think Clearly

Chu Huaijin wanted to ensure the safety of the people in this building, and if Master Cheng did pose a risk of spreading a contagious toxin, then his personal freedom must be limited. This was a reasonable request.

“No need,” Shen Mo said, “I will find another place for Master Cheng. He won’t stay here, so you don’t have to worry about the spread of an infection.”

Chu Huaijin asked, “Where are you planning to take him?”

Shen Mo casually replied, “You don’t need to concern yourself with that, anyway it will not pose a threat to the safety of city residents.”

Chu Huaijin didn’t ask any further and simply smiled, “I hope the check-up results are normal.”

“Let’s hope so.” Shen Mo sighed softly.

He hoped it was just pointless worry.

…

After Chu Huaijin left, Shen Mo prepared to return to his room but heard Tan Xiao and Ya Chaohui arguing.

It turned out that they hadn’t gone back to their rooms earlier but had resumed arguing.

Tan Xiao, rudely clutching Ya Chaohui’s collar, gave him a lesson in a rather boisterous manner, “You are just a little follower, what are you being arrogant about?! Dare to point fingers at the boss, are you getting bored of living? You understand the rules of the game?!”

Ya Chaohui, expressionless, stared straight ahead, and said, “Let go.”

“Oh, you’re trying to act tough with me here?” Tan Xiao, annoyed, clenched his fist, “I think you need some disciplining!”

With that, he swung a punch!

However, Ya Chaohui responded swiftly, he dodged like lighting and effortlessly grabbed Tan Xiao’s incoming fist, twisting his hand back sharply!

Ya Chaohui’s military background had endowed him with superior fighting skills compared to Tan Xiao.

However, Tan Xiao proved to be more crafty as he pretended to spit low onto Ya Chaohui’s bent leg!

Ya Chaohui, disgusted, instinctively withdrew, allowing Tan Xiao to break free and kick him over!

After landing a successful attack, Tan Xiao, doubled over with laughter, said in glee, “Did you think I was really going to spit?!” This is called a dragon’s bluff! You’re not that lucky!”

Ya Chaohui was furious and got right up, ready to retaliate!

However, his punch was deflected in mid-air by Shen Mo.

The room instantly fell quiet, not just Ya Chaohui drew back his fists, even Tan Xiao cringed, chuckling awkwardly at Shen Mo, “Brother Mo…”

Shen Mo glanced at him indifferently and said, “Go downstairs and find a fighting trainer to practise more. If you meet someone who’s not put off by your dirty tricks, you’ll only get beat up.”

“Oh…” Tan Xiao scratched his head and headed towards the elevator.

Shen Mo looked at Ya Chaohui, “Come with me.”

…

They went to the emergency exit.

The stairway was dimly lit. Shen Mo didn’t speak immediately, taking a moment to light a cigarette instead.

He was not a regular smoker and would only smoke when he was feeling troubled.

Ya Chaohui too, wasn’t feeling great. He harboured a grudge against Bai Youwei. He didn’t approve of Tan Xiao’s crudeness either, but he held a deep respect for Shen Mo.

He believed that Shen Mo embodied all the qualities of a competent “King”.

Unfortunately…

Unfortunately, the boss and these people were on the same side.

“I’m not trying to provoke anyone.” Ya Chaohui said quietly, “I was just expressing my opinion, boss, I agree with her strategy, but I don’t appreciate her personality. Right now, the base is pooling its resources to support the King, all in order to save more people. But she… she doesn’t deserve it.”

Shen Mo took a puff of his cigarette, lightly exhaled the smoke, his indifferent expression giving away no emotion.

He asked Ya Chaohui, “Who do you think gave her this status?”

Ya Chaohui was taken aback, looking at Shen Mo.

Shen Mo said, “Not you, not me, and neither the base. This status, it’s bestowed upon her by the maze and the game.

Remember, I will only say this once, who deserves to be the King – the maze and the game know it better than you and me. Go back and think carefully. Once you figure it out, join us in the maze war.”
