Chapter 581 - 284: Black-on-Black Crime (Part 2)
Su Qixin was furious, seeing that Gu Ningxuan had no intention of making a move, her face suddenly twisted into a snarl. However, as if to validate Gu Ningxuan’s words, the surroundings suddenly changed, as this opportunist team was ambushed unexpectedly!
"You—you, did you set me up?" Su Qixin’s first reaction wasn’t to suspect that an ally had betrayed her, but to wonder if Gu Ningxuan had leaked the information, or if this mercenary was brazen enough to want to monopolize this mineral vein?
A trace of ridicule appeared on Gu Ningxuan’s always-stern face as he looked at Su Qixin with a look of pity. Even though this woman shared an interesting name with Miss Su and seemed like a close sister, however... there was a huge gap in their intelligence.
"Why don’t you think that the ally you fancy has betrayed you? No, he never intended to work with you in the first place, so there’s no such thing as betrayal." Gu Ningxuan remained calm, as if the fierce battle and the brutal sounds of mecha clashes around him were just background noise.
"You..." Su Qixin was choked by his words, but in the gap of a few sentences, most of the members of the team had perished, leaving only that Jialanluo clan member slightly prevailing... there’s no choice, this race is practically cheating from head to toe, it’s almost a dream for a normal person to take down a Jialanluo member one-on-one. For the moment, a stalemate ensued...
Yet, no matter how overpowering the Jialanluo clan might be, the gap in strength could not be as vast as heaven and earth; soon enough, she couldn’t hold on any longer and was captured. As for why she wasn’t killed like the others, it was simply because the Jialanluo Clan is an insanely protective race. Dare to harm one of theirs, and they might extract a cost of millions from their opponent!
Su Qixin was truly scared this time, but she still forced herself to maintain composure and said, "Even if I was blind, so what... aren’t you also injured? Do you think they’ll spare you, the witness? Don’t be naive. Even if you’re strong, with such serious injuries, dealing with these people is nearly impossible! If I die, you have to die too!"
Gu Ningxuan, however, wasn’t angered; instead, he turned with a smile and asked, "It seems like this gentleman brought such a small group with just this thought in mind? Thinking that I’m gravely injured, having no threat at all?"
Among this ambush team, Gu Ningxuan had seen the men in a bar on that mercenary planet. The leader was not piloting a mecha, instead leisurely holding that previously seductive and scantily clad woman with an icy expression.
"Could it be that you’re not gravely injured? Intentionally hiding your prowess?" The big man looked at Gu Ningxuan, who stood straight, with interest. It must be said, from this angle, the resemblance between Gu Ningxuan and his older brother was quite high...
It’s just that, compared to Gu Ningyi’s ruthless methods, Gu Ningxuan was clearly too naive and innocent. Never mind, for Gu Ningyi’s sake, he’ll generously let this brother go, but... breaking a limb is inevitable.
In this line of work, once there’s a mistake, losing life is more severe than losing a limb; becoming crippled is just the norm! And considering today’s medical technology, it won’t lead to lifelong disability. However, the excruciating pain is unavoidable.
Gu Ningxuan suddenly laughed and said, "You made the same mistake as Su Qixin, being too careless. For a Mecha Master, once you enter combat state, unless the mecha is scrapped, you have to decide victory with fists and kicks... or else, never exit the mecha’s cockpit, never leave your combat partner... Besides, I’m not injured..."
The man’s face suddenly changed as he decisively pushed away the woman snuggling up to him, gaining himself a little reaction time.
However, Gu Ningxuan’s strength far exceeded his expectations; he didn’t even have time to see how the opponent made a move when his neck was already gripped by a long and well-knuckled hand, "Don’t you understand the principle of capturing the leader first?"
The so-called leader, without sufficient strength, better hide himself tightly, otherwise... once fallen into someone else’s hands, the only path is death. The man’s face turned livid, trying to break free with force, but was met with escalating pressure!
This kid... actually wants to kill him...
"Cough cough... You kid... think capturing me means escaping from death? Still too naive... haha, my buddies won’t care about that..." The man laughed and said, but unfortunately, due to his posture, he couldn’t see Gu Ningxuan’s dispirited expression.
