Chapter 1184: Ye Fan Comes Clean
Deceitful Fox spoke a lot, and his words were quite chaotic, filled with mockery towards Ye Fan.
He attempted to use this method to ridicule Ye Fan and gain a psychological advantage.
đťđđđŚđ¸đđˇđâ´đŁđŚđ.đ¸â´đŽ
He couldnât find a way to defeat Ye Fan, so mocking Ye Fan based on his weaknesses was the only method he could think of.
In terms of strength, he had already lost completely, without any hope of victory.
Even if he were to die alongside Ye Fan, he wanted Ye Fan to die with a guilty conscience.
Just as Deceitful Fox was about to continue his mockery, Ye Fan interrupted with a peculiar smile and said, "Youâve said so much, why donât you guess your own intentions?"
"Youâre smart, why not take a guess?" Deceitful Fox laughed generously.
"I am a pawn of Sky Net. To Sky Net, I am worthless. As long as the people holding my hostage are safe, I will eventually find myself in an opposing camp with Sky Net. At the right time, Sky Net will try every means to get rid of me, and I am aware of this."
"In your view, the hostage cannot be freed; they are surely doomed to die. To Sky Net, when my usefulness ends, that will be the time of my death."
"Ultimately, Sky Netâs people couldnât care less about meâfrom the high-ranking Elders to ordinary members, they regard me with disdain. Each person harbors a thought: the mighty Terminator is merely a pawn of the organization. They have only ridicule for the Terminator, with no regard whatsoever, and so my life or death matters not to them."
"Especially like now, when the Ghost Squad and Hunting Team are in danger and I am pushed forward; this is the best proof."
"Your main goal is to mock me for being in cahoots with Sky Net, yet now Iâve become an abandoned pawn, right?"
"Itâs a mighty joke for the great Terminator to be reduced to nothing more than a pawn."
"You havenât yet said the fact that the name Terminator is illustrious only because, at God Organization, the Terminator was surrounded by loyal partners like Fire Phoenix, Butcher, and the Shadow Guardâthese were the greatest assistive factors."
"Away from God Organization, the name Terminator means nothing; the Terminator becomes a nobody."
"Itâs like Sky Netâs current treatment of me; because I have no real concern within Sky Net, let alone loyalty."
"Youâre attempting to mock me, attack me by highlighting my predicament, but all to attack my current situation. I do indeed have some tricky issues to handle, but itâs not exactly as you think."
"If you want to mock me this way, Iâm afraid youâll miscalculate."
Ye Fan, according to Deceitful Foxâs meaning, said a long string of words.
These words were spoken from the heart, also to dispel Deceitful Foxâs intention to mock him.
"I understand the stubbornness of a dying duck clinging to its dignity; right now, youâre just squabbling with me for that last bit of face. How could I not know your little intentions?" Deceitful Fox didnât believe Ye Fanâs words at all, and mocked: "At this point, why even bother with stubbornness? The mighty Terminator, forced to be a lackey for Sky Net, performing tasks fit for a lackey. What pride do you have to boast so loudly about? Youâre simply a lackey ready to be discarded at any time; if you have any shame left, you should admit that the entire Underworld now mock and look down upon the so-called Terminator; no amount of your excuses can change this fact."
"Youâre lying to yourself in front of me; who doesnât know the true scoundrel the Terminator is now?"
"Iâm just here to mock you, laugh at you, what can you do? You know what youâve done, arenât others allowed to mock you? Youâre already a lackey, yet you still have the face to defend yourselfâyouâre too good at fooling yourself."
"Youâre just self-deluding to comfort your wounded heart."
"Thatâs right, Iâm the one who most wants to see you make a fool of yourself. Iâve already lost completely; before dying, I get to see you scorned by everyone, as a pawn of Sky NetâI feel pleased and relieved. Watching you refuse to admit, I feel pity for you, Terminator, how did you become so shameless?"
Once again, Deceitful Fox unleashed a torrent of emotional yet mocking words.
Ye Fan was unfazed; he knew that Deceitful Foxâs sole purpose now was to gain a psychological edge, to mock him.
But he couldnât let Deceitful Fox succeed.
"Just as you said at the beginning, you donât understand why I came to see you so quickly. Do you know why?" Ye Fan said casually.
"Why?" Deceitful Fox asked instinctively.
"Because I specifically came to see you. Even if you didnât request it, I would have come to see you." Ye Fan replied with a smile, "When you requested a meeting, I was already at the castleâs periphery, and coincidentally received your request. Otherwise, do you think I could have appeared before you so quickly?"
"No, thatâs not right," Deceitful Fox rejected, speaking to himself: "When Sky Netâs attack force surrounded me, you came to watch my demise. Upon receiving my meeting request, Sky Net abandoned you, and you came to see meâthis was your forced choice, I compelled you to come, it wasnât your initiative."
"I can guess now, you no longer have such suspicions towards Fire Phoenix and Butcher, right? Actually, this is where youâre wrong. The information about my identity relayed through Fire Phoenix was intentional, just to let you know that, as you initially suspected, I couldnât possibly oppose Fire Phoenix and Butcher."
"Fire Phoenix and Butcher may appear to gather their own forces and undermine your power, but itâs intentional. In reality, Fire Phoenix and Butcher are of one mind, and at the crucial moment, they will destroy you."
"Itâs just that such a moment hasnât come yet, Sky Net struck first."
"Itâs true Sky Net threatened me, captured two friends I care about deeply, but after negotiations with Fire Phoenix and Butcher, we went along with it, which leads up to today."
"Letting you turn against Sky Net, tearing each other apart, in the end, your death is inevitable, and Sky Netâs heavy losses are guaranteed."
"Then Fire Phoenix and Butcher will fully develop their own forces, which will be strong enough."
"Iâve already planned a deadly trap; at that time, thoroughly pit Sky Net against itself. By then, Sky Net will lose more than half its strength, and even the Ghost Squad will perish. At that moment, the power of Fire Phoenix and Butcher will obliterate all of Sky Net."
Ye Fan laid it all out, dispelling Deceitful Foxâs mocking intent.
