201 Meeting? Usurpation! (Part 1)

"Leader?"

After sizing up the middle-aged man's complexion, Li Ang, who had slept in the wild for a night wrapped in a quilt, sniffed and asked with concern:

"Your complexion doesn't seem very good? Is there something wrong with your body?"

"..."

That's quite a thing to say... do you want to use your brain and guess who I saw that made my complexion bad?

Looking at Little Bajinsi, who was "clinging" to him and wouldn't let go, the middle-aged man's answer almost slipped out from between his teeth.

"It's alright..."

It must be said that compared to some prince who only cared about hierarchy and seizing power, after experiencing the shattering of mountains and rivers and the destruction of the country, the middle-aged man's emotional control ability had truly improved a lot.

After taking a deep breath, he managed to regain his usual calmness. He didn't lose his composure directly because of the unexpected situation, but smiled faintly and continued with a distant attitude:

"As for my body, there's a very important meeting today, so I stayed up late last night, and I might indeed be a bit tired... By the way, Little Bajinsi, didn't you go home last night? Why are you sleeping here?"

Of course, it was to attend the important meeting you mentioned.

Besides, since I haven't gathered enough intelligence, haven't found the grandparents with memory abilities, and haven't discovered another potential Joshua Prince, how could I possibly leave?

Also... why do I feel that compared to the murderous intent the fat uncle mentioned, the rebel leader's look at me has more wariness?

After vaguely sensing some differences through the middle-aged man's subtle changes in expression, Li Ang couldn't help but narrow his eyes subconsciously.

Leaving is impossible, absolutely impossible!

It's rare to have a time when I can confirm the Water Bottle Director's whereabouts. If I don't take advantage of this window to figure out the situation of the rebels, in case the questioning on the Director's side doesn't succeed and the Water Bottle Director returns to the capital, it would be suicide for me to rashly sneak into the rebels again.

And now, the most dangerous Water Bottle Director is attending the questioning. With the level of the remaining rebels, they likely can't do much about the 【Heart of Wild Ambition】. At most, they might catch me. However, I still have the whale oil bombs given by Senior Jie Rui.

According to Senior Jie Rui, the power of that thing can instantly blow up a building, so if I'm exposed and caught, I can just shout for the young husky to throw the whale oil bomb out and blow them up directly in the face!

And judging from the few rebels I've met, the abilities of these anomalous object holders are very singular, and it's unlikely they have protective abilities. At close range, they likely can't even block nail guns. If they really take a whale oil bomb head-on, it might even wipe them all out directly.

Settled, the advantage is mine!

After weighing the enemy's strength and his own in an instant and determining that he wouldn't be in danger, and even had the ability to "cheat to win," Li Ang's heart completely settled back into his stomach. He then followed the persona of "Little Bajinsi" and gave the middle-aged man a quite "aloof" smile.

"Didn't you ask Uncle Owen to bring me to find you yesterday? I was afraid of oversleeping and delaying things, so I just came early last night to keep watch. Now it seems the time is just right."

"Hehe, you are indeed cautious."

After feeding each other a few perfunctory nonsense words, the middle-aged man opened the door and walked into the "conference room" first, sitting down at the head of the long table.

Speaking of which... why do I feel this Little Bajinsi is a bit strange?

Looking at "Little Bajinsi," who consciously sat at the very end of the long table, directly opposite him, a look of suspicion flashed in the middle-aged man's eyes.

Although he didn't know what Owen had told him, Little Bajinsi must have known that he had once shown hostility toward him yesterday.

Yet not only did he not leave overnight, but he took the initiative to deliver himself to the door, and even pretended as if nothing had happened last night. These actions were simply those of another person; it didn't look like something the paranoid and cold Little Bajinsi could do.

But if he wasn't the real Little Bajinsi, then what about those fatal questions from last night?

"Leader."

Although he sensed the suspicion in the middle-aged man's eyes, Li Ang, believing that his wariness toward him was far greater than his murderous intent and judging that he wouldn't take action directly, became even more "presumptuous" in his actions.

After looking around the rebels' "command center," "Little Bajinsi," sitting with his back to the door, asked with quite a bit of anticipation:

"Didn't you say you were going to hold a meeting? Why haven't the others arrived yet?"

"Soon."

Looking at "Little Bajinsi" with deep meaning, the middle-aged man looked at the wristwatch on his hand and said calmly:

"They will be here..."

"Clang!"

Before the middle-aged man could finish his sentence, a quite rough door-opening sound rang out, and along with it came a strange exclamation.

"So fragrant! It's the smell of that tiger from yesterday!"???

So fragrant? Tiger?

No... is the rebels' diet so broad? Do you even eat tigers?

Li Ang looked back in surprise, following the sound, and found that the originally thick wooden door had turned into a strange iron fence... or rather, a prison door, at some point.

And a man with a large amount of burns all over his body was walking out from the prison door with big strides, his two orange-yellow, fierce eyeballs sizing him up with great interest.

"His name is Taige."

After briefly introducing the newcomer in the simplest way possible, the middle-aged man said to the scarred man with an expressionless face:

"This is Little Bajinsi, a new member who is about to possess an anomalous object..."

"Leader."

When he heard this, Li Ang interrupted at the right time:

"If the anomalous object you're talking about refers to that kind of special power, then I think I should already have it now."?!!!

Hearing "Little Bajinsi's" words, the middle-aged man's complexion changed slightly, and the wariness in his eyes grew even deeper.

Without even getting the "Seed of Anomaly," he actually awakened the anomaly by himself in just one night? Is the talent of the "six-hand" level really that terrifying?

"..."

"Hmm, I know."

After being silent for a few seconds, the middle-aged man, who had regained his emotional stability, took a deep breath. He really hadn't figured out how to handle this hot potato, so he could only nod vaguely to brush it off. Then he said to the scarred man, who kept staring at "Little Bajinsi":

"Taige, sit down first. I'll introduce Little Bajinsi's situation to everyone once they've all arrived."

"Alright."

The scarred man, who usually was indifferent to this "weakling" leader, seemed to have been distracted by something. This time, he rarely opposed him, but sat directly next to Li Ang, his two eyeballs, which looked far more like a beast's than a human's, staring fixedly at him.

(⊙⊙)

"Do you want to be the leader?"

"Huh?"

His somewhat distorted nostrils expanded slightly, feeling the "fragrance of a strongman" pouring directly into his lungs from his nasal cavity. The scarred man couldn't help but grin, revealing a mouthful of white, bright teeth, and smiled brilliantly at Li Ang.

"You're much more reliable than him. If you want to be the leader, I support you!" ===== CHAPTER 203 =====
