Chapter 1476: Chapter 826: Unity is Still Possible
Even Crescent, who stood by, was momentarily stunned, with a flash of surprise crossing her face.
She glanced subtly at Qin Yuan.
She noticed that his smile was quite radiant.
It seemed he really did agree, and since he had agreed, what more was there to say?
After all, they were on the same side; as long as he decided on something.
She would have no objections and would still choose to obey.
Then Crescent slowly spoke up.
“Baldy, since you want to play chess with them here, I won’t bother talking too much, you just wait for me.”
“I’ll go get the poison for you now, as soon as I bring out the poison, you have to go and take it.”
“Don’t waste any bit of time, after all, I don’t have that much time to waste with you, you must do as I say.”
Upon hearing this, Baldy’s body instantly stiffened, and even breathing felt painful.
How could she talk to this extent? It seemed she really didn’t want him to live.
It’s not necessary to go this far, if she keeps talking like this, he’ll really be frightened to death.
Even without taking the poison, it’s useless to keep going like this.
Thinking this, Baldy felt his breathing become more rapid.
Although Crescent noticed this scene, her face was expressionless, she didn’t feel any pity for him, and still spoke out on her own.
“If you don’t do as I say, then you’re done for, because I won’t give you the antidote, and you’ll feel weak all over.”
“It’s no different from poisoning. I only need an obedient puppet, and you’re just that puppet. If you disobey.”
“Then I can’t be bothered saying so much here. Anyway, I’ve made myself clear, be a bit smarter!”
After saying this, Crescent’s gaze became resolute, and even a hint of a smile creeped onto her brow.
It was clear there would be no easy change of mind, but Baldy still felt somewhat hopeful, how could he give up?
Having gotten to this point, he still chose to struggle a bit.
No matter what, he could still play chess, right? Being able to play meant there was still a chance, right?
Baldy was delusively thinking to himself.
Then he looked at Qin Yuan again.
Qin Yuan chuckled lightly and then casually said.
“What are you looking at me for, kid? Aren’t you here to watch us play chess? We’re about to play, so just watch.”
“Anyway, it’ll be your turn soon, if you don’t watch now, you won’t have time to later. Just watch carefully for now.”
“And don’t just stare at me. I’m telling you to look at the game, it’s somewhat improper for you to be fixated on me like this.”
He knew what Baldy wanted to convey, that he was placing his hopes on him.
For him to think of a way, of course, he knew, it was just that he was pretending not to.
Now he wanted to make Baldy tense, after all, it had come to a critical moment.
He definitely couldn’t help Baldy too quickly, and he knew Crescent didn’t really want Baldy’s life.
It was just scare tactics, and most importantly, Baldy was still his underling.
Even if Crescent wanted to harm him, she would respect his opinion.
About this, Qin Yuan was very clear, and a shallow smile appeared on his face.
At that moment, Crescent raised her eyebrows.
“You guys go ahead and play chess. I believe there’s plenty of time, I’ll go look for the poison now, after all, I have a lot of it.”
“If we really need to start early, it will take a lot of time, I don’t have time to wait here, I must hurry and find it.”
“Then let Baldy go down, he didn’t receive the antidote but a poison instead, that’s a gain for Baldy, no one else has had such a treat.”
Crescent seemed to be talking to herself, but her voice was neither loud nor too quiet, just enough for everyone present to hear it.
The surrounding audience displayed extremely surprised expressions, blinking slightly.
They didn’t respond, but their expressions said it all.
Surprised by Crescent’s maneuver, even Baldy himself was extremely frightened.
Like a startled deer, trembling incessantly, unable to stop shaking even while sitting on the ground.
He took a deep breath trying to calm himself down, to no avail.
It seems Crescent’s words really scared the wits out of Baldy.
Though Qin Yuan was playing chess, he also observed this scene, narrowed his eyes slightly, and then looked towards Crescent.
Indicating that Crescent should leave first.
Ling Yu also noticed this scene.
But after a short while, Crescent slowly walked away, leaving only them behind.
Qin Yuan continued his chess game with Black Bear.
But Baldy still couldn’t stop trembling, not yet recovering from the fear.
His brows furrowed tightly as he immediately set his eyes on Qin Yuan again, filled with expectation.
Yet Qin Yuan didn’t speak.
He was still earnestly playing chess with Black Bear.
