Chapter 284: Money and Power
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Zhou Ling had received news from Zhou Ye that the rebel army was already preparing to attack Planet Dynasty, making it incredibly difficult for them to escape with Liao Ning.
Not only would the imperial family prevent their departure, but the rebel army would as well. Moreover, Liao Ning was still in Liao Xi’s custody.
Their only chance of escape lay in creating chaos on the capital planet. If Count Sam’s army could engage three armies, it would be much easier for them to return to the capital.
When Zhou Ling informed Earl Sam about his plan, the latter remained silent, scrutinizing him with suspicion.
“Who are you?” Sam asked in a low voice.
“It doesn’t matter who I am. What matters is that you will soon face execution,” Zhou Ling replied teasingly. “I propose a deal that could save your life.”
Sam raised an eyebrow, his double chin quivering. “What kind of deal? What do you want?”
Seeing Sam’s guard start to lower, Zhou Ling revealed his plan. “The royal family is closely monitoring you, preventing me from extracting you. However, I can bring your army inside.”
Sam was taken aback. He hadn’t expected this man to be aware of his army’s existence.
Suspicion evident in his voice, he asked, “What do you seek in return?”
Zhou Ling smiled. “I seek wealth and influence. I am but a lieutenant colonel, nothing more.”
Relieved, Sam let out a sigh. He dreaded encounters with individuals who asked for nothing, particularly those from the rebel army who were willing to sacrifice everything for their ideals. This man, however, clearly had an agenda.
As long as he had a hidden agenda, Sam telt reassured.
Glancing at his injured arm, Sam said, “You cut open my right arm, revealing the highest mark badge of the Sam Family. You will go to the base in the barren mountains and assume the highest authority.”
“As long as you can secure my escape and eliminate the king, I can become your brother, the king. I swear upon the royal family that you will be appointed as the empire’s general,” Sam confidently declared.
Zhou Ling smiled in response. “I sincerely hope that you will uphold your end of the bargain, Your Majesty.”
With an agreement reached, Zhou Ling swiftly departed from the prison. Earl Sam was scheduled for execution in a matter of days, and it was imperative for the Sam Family’s army to launch an attack beforehand. Without their leader, the army’s combat effectiveness would be significantly diminished.
Thanks to the Elder Prince’s favor, Zhou Ling’s aircraft encountered no hindrances as it headed straight towards the Sam Family’s military base.
Meanwhile, in the dungeon of the military base, Parson appeared visibly thrilled.
Clutching a needle, he spoke to Liao Ning with excitement in his voice. “Your blood, being pure, possesses the power to activate regenerative cells. It’s truly unbelievable!”
Liao Ning observed as Parson injected the needle into his own vein, resembling a drug addict reveling in euphoria.
Parson’s hair turned black, and his skin improved. His eyes emitted a yellow glow.
Releasing a howl, he transformed into a black wolf, completely different from the one Liao Ning had encountered days ago. Not only had the wolf grown larger, but its fur color had also changed.
Extending its claws, Parson spoke, “Who is your mother? What other abilities do you possess? I know you won’t divulge any information, but as long as you remain in my custody, I will eventually uncover your secrets.”
A sinister gleam lingered in Parson’s eyes, but Liao Ning paid him no attention.
Just as Parson reverted to his human form and prepared to extract Liao Ning’s blood, the dungeon door swung open.
With a hint of displeasure, Parson retorted, “Didn’t anyone inform you that you can’t simply barge into my laboratory?”
However, upon seeing the person who entered, Parson realized he was unfamiliar with the leader. Liao Ning, bound to the recliner, was equally astonished—it was Zhou Ling.
Addressing the soldiers behind him, Zhou Ling commanded, “Release her immediately!”
“What do you think you’re doing? She’s mine! My experimental subject!” Parson rushed forward to intervene, but none of the soldiers paid him any heed.
“Liao Xi, you can’t let them take her away!”
Liao Ning, now free from her restraints, glanced up and beheld not only soldiers accompanying Zhou Ling, but also the furious figures of Liao Xi and
Sami..
