Chapter 2880: One Person Snatching the Dust-Repelling Pearl? A Fantasy!

So the next moment he said, "What do you want Su Nan to do afterward? Surely you don't think that with Su Nan's strength alone, he can really get his hands on the Dust-Repelling Pearl?"

Even though he was already being led by the nose and had fallen completely into a passive position, Wang Cen still spoke with absolute dominance at this point.

This was probably Wang Cen's style of doing things, and it also fully matched his subordinates' understanding of this boss.

Wang Cen not only had to consider Wang Canghai's side, but also had to make his subordinates feel that he could still command their respect; once he lost these things, Wang Cen's path ahead would become even harder to walk.

Wang Canghai was stunned; even he had not expected that Wang Cen could still speak to him in such a tone at this moment.

But immediately after, Wang Canghai smiled and shook his head, then slowly said, "Why couldn't he? Surely you don't think Su Nan's ability is that much worse than yours?"

Wang Cen gave a cold laugh and replied without any courtesy, "Even ten of me wouldn't be a match for Yang Lu Si at Archaeology Team Two, don't forget there's also Zhang Lin behind the scenes."

Although he had already acknowledged Zhang Lin's strength, every time his subordinates mentioned to him just how powerful Zhang Lin was, Wang Canghai's first reaction was always one of fury.

He couldn't help but snort coldly and said, "I admit I can't beat Zhang Lin right now, but this game of chess isn't over yet, so you can't declare that I've lost."

"Remember this—if you're willing to obey my orders and stay on Archaeology Team One, then even if Su Nan ultimately doesn't get the Dust-Repelling Pearl, I still have a way to save her. But if you don't follow my orders, you know what will happen. I'm not joking with you."

Wang Canghai's tone grew increasingly cold and sinister, using this manner to tell Wang Cen that he had no interest in arguing over these useless things any longer—just follow his orders.

Asking one more question about anything else would only invite his displeasure and make Su Nan's situation even more difficult.

Wang Cen took a deep breath, barely managing to calm his emotions. He actually knew the other party was right; now that he had no initiative left at all.

Saying any more would be pointless; he could only do whatever the other party told him to do. That was the only way he could help Su Nan.

Just as Wang Cen was about to make another assurance, he hadn't expected the other party had already hung up the phone. This behavior once again proved Wang Canghai's resolve.

In fact, over the past few hours, Wang Canghai had at one point wanted to go directly to Archaeology Team One, confront Wang Cen face to face, and tell him in the most realistic way that he was Wang Canghai.

With such an identity, even if Wang Cen wasn't a hundred percent loyal to him, at the very least he would be loyal to his former faith. In that case, Wang Canghai's subsequent matters would be much easier to handle.

But in the end, Wang Canghai held back. Perhaps he also understood that doing so would be meaningless; even if he proved that he was himself, and only in front of Wang Cen alone, what about those who came after?

Wang Canghai had done so many things—on one hand concealing his identity, on the other secretly using his identity to obtain those things that could help him become immortal. Not only the Dust-Repelling Pearl, but also the previous Sixteen Paintings of the Banished Immortal were the same.

Because of the collapse of the Worm Valley, he had long since given up on the matter of the Sixteen Paintings of the Banished Immortal, but the Dust-Repelling Pearl had always been in Yang Lu Si's hands, so regarding this matter he absolutely would not give up.

Wang Cen's end got hung up on, and he sighed helplessly. According to Wang Canghai's description just now, now shouldn't be the best time to make a call. Even if Su Nan wanted to take his call, she would have to consider Yang Lu Si and wouldn't dare to pick up.

Having figured this out, Wang Cen simply gave up on his previous plan. Waiting quietly for everything to unfold, and then giving his response, was the best approach.

Looking at Archaeology Team Two's side, Su Nan gazed intently at Yang Lu Si, and only dared to speak after waiting for a long time.

"Captain Yang, can I take this to mean you've already given me a chance? Or rather, given me a way out."

Yang Lu Si smiled faintly and said, "Actually, I don't care about what you said regarding the Wang family and such. If Mr. Zhang truly wanted to target the Wang family, I believe he wouldn't need anyone as an inside man, nor would he need you to betray information about the Wang family. He definitely has a way to make every single member of the Wang family truly disappear from this world."

Even at this point, Yang Lu Si still didn't forget to interpret a fact from Zhang Lin's perspective. People who didn't know the inside story might think Yang Lu Si was definitely talking big.

An existence like the Wang family couldn't be completely wiped out by one person's casual remark. The Wang family now had only disbanded, and the original members of the Wang family were hiding in some unknown corner of the world.

But thinking about it another way, what Yang Lu Si said made a lot of sense. Even if they didn't know Zhang Lin or Archaeology Team Two, they should at least be clear about one thing.

If it weren't for fear of Zhang Lin, the Wang family wouldn't have needed to go into hiding. They had another option: to continue fighting Zhang Lin.

And right now, the Wang family headquarters was empty. In Zhang Lin's words, the Wang family had already disbanded. Under this premise, even if their current master wanted to make a comeback, as long as Zhang Lin's deterrent remained, they wouldn't dare to act rashly. This was certain.

It was just that those naive people still didn't understand this principle, or rather, they were unwilling to believe it.

Yang Lu Si didn't pay any attention to these things, and continued the next moment, "What I'm most interested in is actually Wang Cen. You know I want to kill this man to avenge myself. Are you willing to help me?"

Asking this question, Yang Lu Si's gaze was full of scrutiny.

Su Nan understood that for her, this should be a fatal question. If she answered incorrectly, Yang Lu Si could change her previous thoughts at any moment.

Now if Yang Lu Si wanted to kill her, it would basically be a matter of minutes—in the blink of an eye, she'd be dead.
