Chapter 58: Starting Today, I Am the Gang Leader!
"Brother, what kind of nonsense are you talking about?"
Guan Tong’s face sank, and he shouted in a low voice, "I want to kill you? Who did you hear that from, brother? Which bastard is trying to drive a wedge between us?"
"Is there not?" Chen Mu’s expression remained unchanged, and he picked up the wine cup with a faint smile, shaking it, "Then what’s going on with the poison in this wine?"
"……There’s poison in the wine?"
Guan Tong’s expression changed drastically, "Impossible! How could there be poison in the wine!?"
Saying this, he picked up the wine pot, aimed at the spout, poured several large gulps for himself, then put it down and exhaled, "If there’s poison in the wine, let it poison me first!"
Chen Mu laughed.
If he hadn't acquired "Heavenly Wolf Smelling the Moon," he would have believed Guan Tong’s performance.
Since acquiring "Heavenly Wolf Smelling the Moon," Chen Mu would sniff before eating anything.
If he found any difference from the smell of the food itself, he wouldn't eat it.
The wine Guan Tong poured for both of them came from the same pot, the smell was fragrant, and the wine was soft.
In terms of pure smell, Chen Mu didn't find a problem.
However, the smell in Guan Tong’s wine cup was different!
It was clearly the same wine, why was the smell different?
And Guan Tong kept urging him to drink!
When he urged him, his heartbeat sped up a little!
Combining these small details, it proved that there was a problem with the wine Chen Mu was drinking!
Guan Tong wanted to poison him?
Chen Mu couldn't figure it out.
He simply didn't think about it and just brought it out into the open.
"Maybe there’s no poison in the Gang Leader’s cup, but mine might not be so lucky~"
Chen Mu stood up, took the wine cup, walked to Guan Tong, and put the cup down, "I wonder if the Gang Leader can drink this cup of wine for me?"
Bang~
Guan Tong slapped the table and stood up, anger bursting in his eyes, and shouted in a low voice, "Chen Mu! What do you mean? For no reason, you insist that I want to harm you! If I wanted to harm you, would I need to invite you over for wine?"
Before the word "you" could come out, Guan Tong suddenly struck, slapping Chen Mu with his palm.
Bang!
Bang!
Almost at the same time, Chen Mu’s right hand was pitch black, and he slapped out.
Both of them aimed at each other’s heart, striking with swift palms.
The palms landed!
Chen Mu stood still, his expression unchanged.
Guan Tong’s face suddenly turned pale, then flushed red, then iron blue, and finally pale.
At the same time, he couldn't stop himself from falling backward.
However, he had only taken two steps back when he was pulled back by Chen Mu and stiffened in place.
"You…… you……"
Guan Tong, with bulging eyes, a pale face, and a stopped heartbeat, stared fixedly at Chen Mu, wanting to say something, but only spat out one word before tilting his head and dying.
He died from his heart pulse being completely shattered!
They struck each other’s palms.
Guan Tong also attacked Chen Mu’s heart, but the palm force just touched his body and was dispersed by the Tripod Body, distributed throughout his body and unloaded.
Throughout the process, Chen Mu only shook slightly, felt a little numb, and didn't even feel a sting in his heart.
The defense of the Tripod Body was so strong that it could even resist the Innate realm, so how could Guan Tong break it?
On the contrary, Chen Mu’s full-force palm struck Guan Tong’s heart, directly shattering his heart pulse.
[Corpse found, do you want to loot?]
"Yes!"
The card was in hand, and Chen Mu immediately checked it.
Memory Card!
Recorded Guan Tong’s memories from the three years before his death.
Using it directly and reading the most recent memories, Chen Mu’s brows furrowed slightly.
"Guo Jinian?"
"Innate Pill? Middle-grade Spirit Weapon?"
"So Guan Tong was bought by the Guo family to make a move on me!"
"The problem is why the Guo family wants to kill..."
"Hmm? The mastermind behind the Xiaoyao Pills in Nanyun city is the Guo family?"
"No wonder……"
Reading Guan Tong’s memories, Chen Mu was enlightened, surprised, and moved.
The Guo family was actually the general agent for Xiaoyao Pills in Nanyun Prefecture!
Chen Mu was cracking down on drugs in the eastern district of the outer city, so they had to get rid of him?
Wary of the Innate realm "Master" Chen Mu might have behind him, the Guo family found Guan Tong.
Guan Tong was equally wary and chose to use poison.
This poison was stained on the bottom of the wine cup, colorless and odorless, just that little bit.
Fused into the wine, it couldn't be seen or detected at all.
Chen Mu wouldn't die immediately after drinking it, and wouldn't even feel it.
Only after half an hour would it take effect, infecting the meridians of the limbs and bones, making muscles weak.
With the meridians affected, the mobilization of internal energy would be blocked.
Under the double superposition, he wouldn't be able to exert even one percent of his ten percent strength.
Guan Tong’s plan was to drink and eat meat for half an hour, and then on Chen Mu’s way home, drive two robbers to bump into Chen Mu from the side.
At night, Chen Mu would walk unsteadily, would the robbers who often robbed him not move?
As long as they moved, if Chen Mu resisted, the robbers would inevitably stab him!
Guan Tong wanted Chen Mu to die at the hands of the robbers.
To be safe, he left a backup plan; if the robbers failed, Guan Tong would have his trusted subordinates dress up as remnants of the Green Snake Gang and rush up to "take revenge."
In short, to get the Innate Pill, Guan Tong sold Chen Mu!
Whether it was a genius or an Innate realm "Master," or the relationship with the Martial Suppression Division, nothing could stop Guan Tong from breaking through to the Innate realm!
It was also after reading the memories that Chen Mu knew Guan Tong was already at the Acquired Ninth Stage.
"What a pity."
Stopping the reading of memories, Chen Mu took a deep breath and stabilized his mind.
Guan Tong wanted him dead, so he had no choice but to send him to see his ancestors.
The two subordinates guarding outside the room also had to be dealt with.
They struck each other’s palms, Guan Tong died, the commotion was small, and Guan Tong’s two trusted subordinates didn't notice at all.
It’s just that afterward……
"Wait!"
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in Chen Mu’s mind.
"I know Guan Tong’s memories, have a human-skin mask, and know 'Ventriloquism,' can I temporarily replace 'Guan Tong'?"
Light burst from Chen Mu’s eyes, and his mind turned rapidly.
Guan Tong was dead, which only temporarily eased the predicament.
The Guo family was the big trouble!
Once they learned of Guan Tong’s death, the Guo family would inevitably come after Chen Mu again.
This time, the Guo family might strike directly!
Pretending to be "Guan Tong" and temporarily acting as the Gang Leader of the Dadao Gang would at least provide a buffer time.
The agreement between Guan Tong and Guo Jinian was within half a month.
If half a month passed and "Guan Tong" disappeared, he could drag it out for another ten days or half a month……
Thinking of this, Chen Mu decisively took off his own clothes first, then Guan Tong’s, and changed into them.
During this process, "Ventriloquism" was activated, first using Guan Tong’s voice, laughing loudly, "Haha, how about it, brother, didn't I lie to you?"
Changing to his own voice, "Not bad, not bad! Gang Leader, do you have any more of this exotic beast meat, give me a pound, I’ll take it home for my big brother and sister-in-law to taste?"
Switching back to Guan Tong’s voice, "If it were anyone else, naturally there wouldn't be any. But since brother asked, there must be!"
Changing to his own voice, "Thank you, Gang Leader! Come, Gang Leader, I’ll toast you."
Switching back to Guan Tong’s voice, "Are you trying to get me drunk so you can swallow the exotic beast meat all by yourself?"
Changing to his own voice, "Gang Leader, you’re wronging me, penalty wine, must have penalty wine."
Switching back to Guan Tong’s voice, "Hahaha!"
……
One person playing two roles.
After a while, Chen Mu changed into Guan Tong’s clothes, took out the human-skin mask, and put it on, becoming Guan Tong’s appearance.
His hairstyle also changed, his aura was released, and the Acquired Eighth Stage was fully activated.
A "Guan Tong" that could pass for the real one was successfully born!
A "Guan Tong" that could pass for the real thing was successfully born!
