Chapter 201: Meeting? Usurping the Throne! (Part 1)
"Leader?"
After taking a good look at the middle-aged man's face, Lyon, who had slept in the wilderness for a night, sniffed and asked with concern:
"You don't look too well. Is something wrong with your health?"
"..."
The way he said it... Can you guess who I'm not feeling well because of?
Looking at the little Bavin who was "sticking" to him, the middle-aged man's response was almost squeezed out through gritted teeth.
"I'm doing fine..."
It must be said that compared to a certain prince who was obsessed with power and status, after experiencing the devastation of the country and the loss of his home, the middle-aged man's emotional control ability had indeed improved tremendously.
After taking a deep breath, he managed to regain his usual composure. Instead of losing his cool due to the unexpected situation, he smiled faintly and continued in a casual manner:
"As for my health, I had an important meeting today, so I stayed up last night, and I might be a bit tired... Oh, and little Bavin, didn't you go home last night? Why are you sleeping here?"
Of course, it's to attend the important meeting you mentioned.
Moreover, I haven't gathered enough intelligence, found the grandparents with memory abilities, or discovered the suspected existence of another Prince Joshua. How could I possibly leave?
Besides... I somehow feel that compared to the murderous intent Uncle Fat mentioned, this bandit leader's gaze towards me seems to be more wary.
...
After noticing the subtle changes in the middle-aged man's expression, Lyon couldn't help but narrow his eyes unconsciously.
Leaving is out of the question. Absolutely out of the question!
It's a rare opportunity to confirm the whereabouts of the Water Bottle Director. If I don't take this window of opportunity to thoroughly understand the bandits' situation, and if the interrogation with the Director doesn't go well, and the Water Bottle Director returns to the capital, then sneaking into the bandits' hideout again would be suicidal.
And now, the most dangerous Water Bottle Director is attending the interrogation. With the remaining bandits' capabilities, they most likely won't be able to handle the Wild Ambition Heart. At most, they'll just capture me. But I still have the whale oil grenade that Jerry gave me.
According to Jerry, that thing's power can instantly destroy a building. So, if I'm caught, I can just shout for Jerry to throw the whale oil grenade, and directly blow them up! From the few bandits I've encountered, these Anomaly Bearers' abilities are quite singular, and they probably don't have any self-defense capabilities. At close range, they might not even be able to block a nail gun. If they get hit head-on by a whale oil grenade, there's a chance they could be wiped out instantly.
Perfect, the advantage is mine!
In an instant, after assessing the strengths and weaknesses of both sides, Lyon confirmed that he not only wouldn't be in danger but also had the ability to "cheat" his way through. His heart immediately settled back into his stomach, and he gave the middle-aged man a rather "cool" smile, in line with the persona of "Little Bavin."
"You asked Uncle Owen to bring me to you yesterday, right? I came early last night to make sure I wouldn't oversleep and cause any trouble. It seems like the timing is just right now."
"Haha, you're quite cautious."
After exchanging a few perfunctory words, the middle-aged man opened the door and walked into the "conference room," taking his seat at the head of the long table.
Speaking of which... this Little Bavin seems a bit odd.
As he watched Little Bavin sit at the very end of the long table, directly across from him, a hint of suspicion flashed across the middle-aged man's eyes.
(End of Chapter)Although it was unclear how Owen had spoken to him, Little Bavin was undoubtedly aware that he had revealed his hostility towards him the day before.
However, instead of leaving immediately, Little Bavin took the initiative to open the door, even acting as if nothing had happened the night before. These actions were completely out of character for the usually obsessive and aloof Little Bavin.
But if he wasn't the real Little Bavin, then how could he explain the deadly questions from the night before?
...
"Leader."
Although he sensed suspicion in the middle-aged man's eyes, he believed that his fear outweighed his murderous intent. Judging that the man wouldn't directly attack him, Leon's actions became even more "reckless."
After glancing around the Rogue Gang's "command center," Little Bavin, who was sitting with his back to the door, eagerly asked:
"You said there would be a meeting. Where are the others?"
"They'll be here soon."
The middle-aged man glanced at Little Bavin with a meaningful look, then checked his wristwatch and calmly said:
"They'll be here in a moment..."
"Bang!"
Before the middle-
Before the middle-aged man could finish his sentence, a rather rude door-opening sound rang out, followed by a strange exclamation.
"It smells so good! It's the scent of that tiger from yesterday!"
???
Smells good? Tiger?
Isn't... your gang's menu so extensive that you even eat tigers?
Leon turned around in surprise, following the sound. He realized that the thick wooden door had somehow transformed into a strange iron gate or a prison cell door.
A man with extensive burn injuries was striding out of the cell, his two orange-yellow fierce eyes filled with interest as he sized Leon up.
"His name is Tiger."
After a simple introduction, the burned man, expressionless, said to the leader:
"This is Little Bavin, the new member who will soon possess the Anomaly..."
"Leader."
At this moment, Leon interrupted at the right time:
"If the Anomaly you speak of refers to that Unique Power, then I believe I already possess it."
?!?!
Upon hearing Little Bavin's words, the middle-aged man's face changed slightly, and the fear in his eyes intensified.
Even without obtaining the Anomaly Seed, he had awakened on his own overnight. Was the Six Pointers-level talent truly that terrifying?
"... "
"Yeah, I got it."
After a few seconds of silence, the middle-aged man's emotions stabilized, and he took a deep breath. Unable to come up with a solution for this thorny issue, he merely nodded vaguely to brush it off. Then, he addressed the burned man who was staring intently at Little Bavin:
"Tiger, take a seat. Regarding Little Bavin's situation, I'll introduce it once everyone arrives."
"Okay."
The burned man, who usually ignored the middle-aged man, this "weakling" leader, seemed to have his attention drawn by something. This time, he didn't object and sat down next to Leon, his two beast-like eyes staring intently at him.
(⊙⊙)
"Do you want to be the leader?"
"Huh?"
With slightly distorted nostrils, the burned man inhaled the "Aura of Strength" that filled his nose and lungs. He couldn't help but open his mouth, revealing a set of bright white teeth, and said to Leon with a brilliant smile:
"You're way more reliable than him. If you want to be the leader, I'm all for it!"
