Before he could finish speaking, Sui Zimo spoke up.

Zui Yifeng’s heart was filled with joy. The gaze he directed at Sui Zimo was laden with even more calculation.

"Young people are indeed young people, perceptive and pragmatic. Since you’ve made up your mind, let’s skip the nonsense and hand them over. Leave dealing with these two to me, and you just bring Lin Caisang out, then... Ha!"

Before he could finish his words, a surge of spiritual power from Sui Zimo’s hand shot directly at him.

He almost couldn’t react in time. After an alarmed exclamation, he managed to dodge away from his original spot.

’Boom—’

With a loud explosion, the spot where he had stood earlier was now a gigantic crater.

"You—you dare!"

He raised his head, his fierce gaze fixed on Sui Zimo.

"Why wouldn’t I dare? Am I supposed to keep you, a villain, around for the New Year?" Sui Zimo coldly responded to him.

"You—"

Zui Yifeng was choked by his words, incredulous.

"Sui Zimo, don’t you care about your life? Without my antidote, you won’t live for many more years, and the life you have will be filled with pain!

Surely you know yourself how unbearable the poison onset can be, right? Are you sure you want to live like this?"

He knew his own poison all too well. Before he poisoned Sui Zimo, he tested it on living people, none of whom could withstand its ravages.

Everyone begged at his feet for the antidote, except for this Sui Zimo, who had escaped his control for many years, not even needing the antidote to alleviate the symptoms.

He couldn’t understand how he managed it!

"Heh!"

Lin Changhong sneered, looking at Zui Yifeng as if observing an idiot. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

"Zui, do you really think your poison is that formidable? Ever since my sister met my brother-in-law, he hasn’t had any more poison outbreaks. Your poison? It’s nothing to my sister; she’s long been able to control it.

I believe it won’t be long before my sister develops the antidote. When that happens, you can find somewhere cool and stay there."

He ridiculed Zui Yifeng.

"You—you people are simply—"

Zui Yifeng wanted to curse them for their ignorance. An antidote that alleviates symptoms and a true antidote are hardly the same, right?

Only the antidote in his hand can truly detoxify; without him, Sui Zimo would eventually meet his end — this he knew all too well.

"Since you all refuse to appreciate kindness, let’s see then! After all, I have enough time to wear you down."

He swung his sleeve and issued an order to his subordinates.

"Everyone, stop this instant!"

Upon hearing his command, the men in black halted their attacks, swiftly returning to their master’s side, with their heads held high as if they’d won a mighty victory.

In fact, in the skirmish with the City Lord’s Mansion guards, they were the ones losing.

"Sui Zimo, since you refuse my terms, then wait and see. I’ll soon return to test your skills again!" Zui Yifeng said to Sui Zimo before leaving with his subordinates.

Today he had brought too few people, but he would come back again.
