Chapter 905 - 901: It’s an Acquaintance After All!
But for some reason, when he saw that face, Xiao Tian felt a sense of familiarity, as if he’d seen him somewhere before.Adison Claire’s delicate body suddenly trembled, but she quickly recovered, and decisively said, "I’ve already done enough evil deeds for you all. Even if I die in the future, there’s absolutely no possibility of aiding you in any further atrocities!"
"Aiding in atrocities!"
That imposing face showed a mocking smile and sneered, "Do you dare say that the previous mutation viruses weren’t your creations?! Aiding in atrocities, it’s laughable you’re bold enough to utter that!"
Adison Claire argued with reason, "What I promised you was mutation viruses for animals, yet you unauthorizedly altered my work for use on humans."
"Moreover, if you had not initially requested it under such grand pretexts, would I have ever agreed to your request?!"
At this point, the imposing face seemed unable to retort any further, let out another cold snort, and turned his gaze upon Xiao Tian.
"Who are you, daring to confront our Water Drop Organization?!"
With a simple sentence, Xiao Tian’s eyes suddenly brightened, the frown on his brow relaxed. He realized where he had seen this person before.
Looking at that austere face, which increasingly matched his memory, Xiao Tian finally confirmed the person’s identity, also recognizing Adison Claire as the head of the Water Drop Organization’s biochemical laboratory.
The person opposite him had participated in a battle with Xiao Tian for the Five Elements Crystal at the lakeside deep within Kunlun Mountain.
If Thunder King Salon hadn’t arrived in time, he feared he wouldn’t be seeing him ever again.
"Defeated by the Hunter’s subordinates, do you have the nerve to face people?!" Xiao Tian’s lips curled slightly upward, and he smiled, "If I were you, I’d be too embarrassed to show my face."
"Hunter?!"
Across, the middle-aged man’s face showed a trace of panic, clearly still feeling a lingering fear from Xiao Tian’s previous massacre!
He also determines that during the previous battle for the Five Elements Crystal, the other party should have been present.
Thinking of this, the middle-aged man’s face became even more somber; back then, deep within Kunlun Mountain, although only over a hundred people were present, they were all exceptionally skilled individuals.
This fact requires no excessive doubt.
Because if one’s skills weren’t up to par, one wouldn’t have made it to that lakeside trapped in bitter cold that wasn’t frozen over.
Precisely due to this, the middle-aged man appeared so grave.
Is the Water Drop Organization strong enough? Is its influence big enough?
The answer is evidently more than sufficient; otherwise, it couldn’t have faced Daoist Tianxing and a crowd of strong men on Kunlun Mountain for such a long time.
Yet, that’s concerning an organized group. When facing unassociated individuals, perhaps they can’t defeat you, but if one is determined to escape and hide, no matter how strong the Water Drop Organization is, it’s ultimately powerless.
After all, as a huge organization, the manpower needed to operate is not small, and it’s impossible for divisions to stop functioning internally just to dispatch a large number of experts to hunt down one person.
Of course, this doesn’t mean that solitary experts can casually provoke the Water Drop Organization.
Anyone with a high level isn’t foolish, and no one idly looks for trouble from a massive entity.
And those with weaker power naturally dare not provoke the Water Drop Organization, so the occurrence of this situation isn’t very likely.
However, that said, if such a rare event truly does occur, it would undoubtedly be extremely annoying.
Especially considering the past defeat, which has already impacted his prestige, the middle-aged man certainly cannot handle this matter casually.
Thinking of this, the middle-aged man suppressed his anger and began to carefully ponder Xiao Tian’s motive.
In the middle-aged man’s view, as long as he can persuade Xiao Tian to change sides, making him reverse and capture Adison Claire, even at some cost, it could be worthwhile.
He glanced at Xiao Tian and then at Adison Claire behind him, first dismissing the possibility of lust.
Unless psychologically twisted, nobody would covet Adison Claire’s body, despite her flawless figure, as her face full of terrifying scars would frighten most people away.
If it’s not lust then...
"May I ask what benefits Adison Claire has offered you? Our Water Drop Organization is willing to offer double, as long as you can help us capture her!"
The middle-aged man slightly bowed, politely asking Xiao Tian with folded hands.
"Oh?!" Xiao Tian’s eyes changed, and he appeared moved as he said, "Is there really such a good offer?"
Seeing Xiao Tian seemingly tempted, the middle-aged man quickly replied, "Absolutely! I guarantee it with the honor of the Water Drop Organization, as long as your demands are reasonable, we won’t be stingy."
Behind Xiao Tian, Adison Claire heard this conversation, seemingly treating her as bargaining chips, the gratitude she felt instantly vanished.
Yet, Adison Claire also realized that she was merely an ordinary woman, judging by Xiao Tian’s previous demeanor, she’s absolutely no match.
In the moment, Adison Claire felt waves of despair crashing upon her heart, swiftly bringing about a tendency to give up, not even caring about the bleeding abdominal wound.
Could it be that she still can’t escape such a fate?!
No!
Absolutely not!
This time, even if it means dying, I can’t let myself succumb again!
Adison Claire’s eyes gradually grew resolute, like a rock; though lacking grandeur, indestructible!
At this moment, Xiao Tian and the middle-aged man’s dialogue finally touched on the crucial point.
Xiao Tian’s voice was calm as he said, "Adison Claire offered me all of her experiment records. As long as you provide a comparable offer and double exchange, our deal can be considered concluded."
The middle-aged man’s expression instantly transformed; the Water Drop Organization’s development has always been closely tied to the Biochemical Beast. If the experiment records were to be obtained by others, the organization’s status would sharply plummet.
And he, as the most direct responsible party, would face an incomparably miserable end.
Recalled each time he passed by the buildings punishing those who failed their tasks, hearing those hell-like screams, a layer of sweat appeared on his forehead, forcing him to wake from his contemplation.
"Name your price!" The middle-aged man immediately responded, and concurrently secretly made small movements with his invisible hand.
By now, he no longer aimed to peacefully resolve things without mobilizing his troops but was convinced that Xiao Tian’s death was the only way this could still unfold.
Though logically speaking, the likelihood of Xiao Tian having acquired the experiment records is nearly nonexistent, the middle-aged man dared not risk betting on that.
Thus, what he needed to do now only encompassed two things: first, stabilize Xiao Tian with words, attempting to delay as long as possible until it can no longer be prolonged.
