Xue An thought for a moment, he should be able to do this level of exercise. However, it’s not certain that it would be easy. But what kind of person was he? He was an elite among ordinary humans! He wasn’t someone who always retreated in defeat under the Black Soldier’s hands, and he had even defeated a few Black Soldiers in battles. His physical skills were not on the same level as the Black Soldiers, but he was far superior to ordinary people. There were only a handful of people who could match him in physical skills.
“Very well!”
Xue An exhaled a long breath.
“In that case, the other party has cooperation value.”
On the communication device, there was a silent pause before a voice spoke up.
“Captain, it seems you’ve made a mistake.”
Xue An was puzzled.
“The silence said, ‘It’s not that the other party has cooperation value, but whether we have cooperation value in their eyes. If we want to make them accept us, we can only show them our value.'”
“…”
Xue An fell into deep thought.
He was thinking about what they had that could interest the other party.
Then he realized they had almost nothing.
In terms of information warfare, they were far behind; in terms of combat, they had been defeated by the Black Soldiers and lacked persuasive power; in terms of wealth, the other party had the terrifying ability to obtain 190 million in 10 minutes…
What did they have?
At least, they had to come up with something to prove themselves, or they wouldn’t be able to cooperate with the other party?
…
“Since that’s the case, let’s bring it out then.”
Although he didn’t explicitly say what, the silence understood Xue An’s meaning and asked after a pause, “Are you really going to do this? That’s our only capital.”
“There’s no problem, capital is meant to be spent, isn’t it?”
Xue An laughed.
“The anti-Black Soldier restraint drug, this is the only thing we can use to negotiate.”
In the face of his teammates’ lives, all precious things were as worthless as trash.
…
“You didn’t die?”
Zhushi Jiu looked at the unharmed Black Soldier who returned, asking expressionlessly.
The Black Soldier replied coldly, “I didn’t die. The opponent was very weak. So weak that I didn’t know how to hold back.”
He recounted what had happened earlier.
Zhushi Jiu: “……”
After listening, he didn’t know what to say.
He really wanted to ask Xue An, “What kind of strength did you say you had, comparable to the Black Soldiers?”
He had thought Xue An was so confident that even if he couldn’t defeat the Black Soldier, he could at least heavily injure it. To give the other party more of a chance, he had even intentionally let the Black Soldier hold back, but who would have thought they would collapse so quickly in their confrontation with the Black Soldier!
This level of strength, and they still dared to say “our combat capabilities are not inferior to the Black Soldiers”?
The plan to let the Black Soldier suffer a loss had failed.
“Go change your clothes,” Zhushi Jiu said, “I estimate Wang Chong and the others will come find me at the casino later.”
Suddenly, a hurried knock on the door sounded!
Discussion Group 56374367
Zhushi Jiu gave the Black Soldier a look.
The Black Soldier obediently returned to its room to change.
Zhushi Jiu then changed into a bright and cheerful smile: “Come on in!”
He opened the door to see, not the expected Wang Chong and the others, but three people standing outside, drenched and in disarray.
Xue An was holding an injured arm, standing next to two girls Zhushi Jiu had seen on the deck earlier.
“Hello, Mr. Zhushi, would you be willing to help us?”
Zhushi Jiu didn’t say much, just pretended to be slightly surprised and opened the way for them to enter.
“Come on in.”
Xue An was somewhat surprised by Zhushi Jiu’s tolerance and acceptance. He had originally thought they would have to go through several rounds of verbal sparring…
“Thanks.” The gratitude in his tone was genuine.
In his heart, Zhushi Jiu thought, I may not have caught two birds with one stone, but I’ve at least caught one – the fishing plan succeeded.
After Xue An entered the room, he subconsciously examined the environment and focused on the silent bodyguard standing next to Zhushi Jiu.
“Where’s your other bodyguard?”
Zhushi Jiu casually fabricated a lie: “My bodyguards take turns protecting me at night, after all, they’re human too and need rest…”
“Originally, that’s the case.”
Xue An looked towards the bedroom door.
Coincidentally, the bedroom door opened.
Everyone’s gaze fell on the man wearing a black windbreaker who walked out.
Zhushi Jiu added an explanation: “… unless there’s a special situation, such as a stranger appearing in my room at night. My bodyguards would sacrifice sleep time to ensure my safety, so both would be protecting me.”
“…)
Xue An felt this explanation was a bit forced, but for the moment, he couldn’t think of anything suspicious.

“Anyway, let’s not waste words. Tell me what happened.”
Zhushi Jiu calmly sat on the sofa, looking at Xue An with an extremely calm gaze that exerted strong pressure.
Xue An was drawn in by this pressure and sat down on the opposite sofa, putting aside his doubts.
“Just as you guessed, we were attacked by the Black Soldiers.”
Xue An said this while still paying attention to Zhushi Jiu’s expression. Zhushi Jiu’s face showed no signs of surprise.
“I expected as much. Continue.”
And so, under Zhushi Jiu’s calm gaze, Xue An recounted what had happened earlier.
It was similar to what he told the Black Soldier, except he embellished his brief confrontation with the Black Soldier, making it sound like “we played a game of chess, and I narrowly escaped”.
Zhushi Jiu asked, “So, what do you want me to help you with?”
Actually, Zhushi Jiu had predicted they would come find him, but not this quickly.
To his surprise, Xue An said something beyond his expectations.
“Help me rescue my teammate! My teammate was attacked by the Black Soldiers, and their life is in danger.”
Zhushi Jiu suppressed the urge to glance at the Black Soldier next to him and cleared his thoughts.
In reality, one of their teammates had been attacked by an unknown group of people.
Zhushi Jiu temporarily stored this information in his heart and said to Xue An, “Okay, I can help you, but what can you give me?”
Xue An didn’t plan to beat around the bush; to rescue his vice-captain, he directly gave away his trump card: “I have an anti-Black Soldier restraint drug!”
Zhushi Jiu was skeptical and directly asked, “What’s this anti-Black Soldier restraint drug?”
Xue An was taken aback: “You don’t know what the anti-Black Soldier restraint drug is?”

Zhushi Jiu didn’t explain and instead coldly laughed: “You should be grateful I don’t know, otherwise, you wouldn’t have any value to negotiate with.”
Xue An felt a sense of unease in his heart, but time was pressing, so he still said it out loud.
“The anti-Black Soldier restraint drug can suppress the effects of the Black Soldier drug, restoring the Black Soldier’s emotions and making them more emotional than any person in the world! Turning them from a heartless monster into someone more sensitive than anyone else!”
Can it cancel emotional suppression?!
Zhushi Jiu leaned forward, showing great interest, but said, “This is what you call an ‘anti-Black Soldier’ drug? It doesn’t sound very impressive.”
Xue An coldly laughed: “Unimpressive? Wrong! This is the most valuable part of this drug! Once the effects take hold, the Black Soldier’s emotions will reach a peak, making them fragile and sensitive.”
“They will recall all their past actions, including the blood on their hands, and will be overwhelmed by pain and regret, making them more merciful than a saint!”
“They may not immediately commit suicide, but they will be trapped in endless remorse and depression, and the guilt they’ve accumulated will instantly destroy their character!”
