Chapter 683: Coercion?! We've All Been Played by Him!

I agree.

I also agree!

One call, many responses!

Except Yu Meng, everyone else raised their hands in indication.

Seeing the "leak fish" stay silent, Zhai Sixin coldly looked at it, "Miss Yu, is this a feeling of compassion? Could it be that you are charmed by Mr. Su?"

Tang Youning scoffed aloud, "Most likely, yes. Last night I even saw two Guest Rooms connected together; who knows what kind of illicit thing might have happened."

Yu Meng, hearing the slander, angrily replied, "One cannot cross between rooms; where does such absurdity come from?"

"Who knows? Right now, only you and Su Yang's Innate Talent are unknown," Li Zhenhua echoed.

Yu Meng was quite irritated and, after a moment of thought, made a decision.

I agree!

"Wow, unanimous approval," Tang Youning smiled, looking at Su Yang and said, "No objections, Brother Su… please."

"What if I don't?" Su Yang retorted.

As soon as those words were spoken, Tang Youning, as if having anticipated him, took big strides forward and stood in front of him.

The two stood half a foot apart, their noses almost touching.

"This is everyone's unanimous decision; you have no choice!" Tang Youning said in a deep voice.

"My legs are attached to my body; if I want to walk, I walk, if I don't, I don't. What can you do to me?" Su Yang said calmly.

"Whether you go or not, you must go!" Tang Youning raised his voice, tone unkind,

"Don't forget, although we can't force you, you still have to be present for the voting phase, right?"

"This is a notice, not a discussion; please watch your attitude."

"Otherwise we wouldn't mind…"

"We'll send you to the Hang Execution platform!"

Su Yang touched his chin, "So you're saying Brother Tang is threatening me with the big guy?"

"Your interpretation is fine," Tang Youning nodded calmly.

"So if I disobey, I'll be voted out tonight, right?"

"Of course. I think Diana's cause of death is unknown, but it's highly likely she was poisoned by the Cook, so voting you out poses no problem."

Su Yang fell silent.

The others watched coldly; without doubt, Tang Youning is their Mouthpiece.

To be precise, they have him play the White Face.

After all, Su Yang sneaked into the Safe Zone to avoid danger, while they have to endure such treatment.

Their hearts were already unbalanced.

As for Tang Youning…

He was very worried that Su Yang might act against him in the next possible crisis.

Having Su Yang go exchange Silver Coins would be ideal; he would have ample time and space to increase the distance.

Avoid danger!

At the same time, it would let Su Yang personally taste the feeling of being shot.

Perhaps…

He might die because of it!

A win‑win!

"Since you all teamed up to bully me, I can only obey and act," Su Yang said helplessly, spreading his hands.

"Those who understand the times are heroes; I believe you can survive," Tang Youning said.

Su Yang glanced at the crowd's expressions, then turned and walked toward the far end.

"We retreat!" Li Zhenhua moved immediately!

Yu Meng and Liang Kaiqi quickly followed, pulling a hundred meters away from Stone Gate.

Zhai Sixin and Tang Youning showed little reaction.

What they were thinking—

If Stone Gate opened immediately, they'd rush in right away.

"Zhai Xiaojie, with such skill, may I ask whether Gene Modification has already entered the Fourth Tier?" Tang Youning asked.

"Is probing this answer meaningful?" Zhai Sixin said without turning her head.

"Certainly. If you have strong ability, could you protect me once a crisis arises?" Tang Youning requested.

"Your skin is really thick; don't you know we are competitors?" Zhai Sixin scoffed.

"Although we may be hostile, we share a common goal… aren't we?" Tang Youning said earnestly.

Zhai Sixin's gaze tightened, then instantly returned to normal, "Of course, we all want Clearance, but are the two related?"

"Zhai Xiaojie, no need to hide; my subordinates have long seen through your scheme, merely wishing to eliminate the threat."

"I happen to have something I desire as well; shall we join forces?" Tang Youning suggested.

"You have no right, nor any value," Zhai Sixin rejected outright.

Tang Youning, unwilling to give up, tried to continue persuading, but before he could finish, a familiar booming sound was heard.

"Buzz—"

"Everyone be careful!" Li Zhenhua warned.

"Alright!"

Tang Youning also became alert, his waist and abdomen slightly lowered, ready at any moment to charge or flee.

Zhai Sixin still kept her original stance, but her taut neck plainly showed what she was thinking.

In an instant, the sound of gears turning rang out.

"Not good!" the crowd gasped, Crazy frantic retreat.

Tang Youning and Zhai Sixin also turned and fled, without a moment's pause.

When they were over two hundred meters away, the Vibration sound suddenly vanished without a trace.

"Hm?" Li Zhenhua's eyes grew doubtful, he asked confusedly, "No movement?"

"Boom!"

The next moment, a different kind of sound echoed.

"Damn, we fell into the trap!" Tang Youning realized, his face twisted, and immediately ran toward the Stone Gate.

A Qianying flashed out even faster, like an illusion, as swift as lightning.

"Stop Su Yang, don't let him get in!" Tang Youning shouted a loud Reminder.

"Stop the nonsense!" Zhai Sixin replied coldly.

Two hundred meters away would be reached by her in an instant.

Yet Su Yang's speed was even faster than they expected.

When Zhai Sixin ran halfway, he had already entered the Stone Gate, forcefully closing it.

"Damn, Su Yang, you dare?!" Tang Youning saw his intention to monopolize, and shouted angrily.

Facing the crowd's mixed angry expressions, Su Yang smiled faintly, "I didn't want to get involved in this dispute, but you keep pressing."

"I'm just missing a chance to act with a proper pretext, thanks, Brother Tang."

Zhai Sixin Fire at full power, her pretty face slightly twisted, "You dare close the door, you'll surely die tonight!"

"Hehe…"

"Bang!"

Zhai Sixin slammed into the Stone Gate, angrily shouting, "Damn, just missed it!"

The others arrived shortly after, looking at the tightly shut door, their faces exceedingly grim.

Tang Youning punched the door hard, "Damn, he schemed us again!"

"Tang, look at the mess you caused!" Liang Kaiji said displeased.

"If it weren't you, Su Yang wouldn't have had a chance to get in," Yu Meng accused.

Tang Youning took a deep breath, his face like frost, gazing down from above at the two, "When I suggested it, you were so enthusiastic, now you turn hostile?"

"The key is embedded in the door; if you want to get in why don't you go up yourself?"

"Cowardly wretches, you have no right to condemn me!"

Liang Kaiji was about to strike back, but Zhai Sixin raised a hand signaling them to shut up.

"All shut up!"

She bent down, picked up a Silver Coin from the ground, and examined it carefully.

"This one is the Family Heirloom of Davidson."

"He missed taking it?" Li Zhenhua hurriedly asked.

"No!" Zhai Sixin stared at the door crack, gritting her teeth, and said:

"We were all played by him!"
