Chapter 1862 — Sorrow
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
Bold words sounded inspiring and stirring, but Fatty Lai and Gu Pengzhan both knew how hard it was to start over.
Fatty Lai was better off. As long as Wei Zhao supported him, the pharmaceutical company would surely rise again. But Gu Pengzhan worked in manufacturing, and how difficult it would be for him to begin anew!
"Eh? That's right—why isn't Tang Zhi here?" Kang noticed that someone very important was missing from the room: Tang Zhi. Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu were both present, yet Tang Zhi was absent. By rights, that should not be possible.
During this time, everyone except Kang had learned where Tang Zhi had gone, and they avoided the topic. But Kang had just returned and naturally knew nothing of it.
"She..." Thinking of Tang Zhi, Gu Mengyao felt a faint ache in her heart, and slowly told them what had happened to Tang Zhi...
After hearing it, Kang was shocked, and then a wave of sorrow washed over him... Would he never see her again? Never again?
The others, even though they already knew, still felt pain and loss as they heard Gu Mengyao tell it again...
"I heard that Leader Wei Zhao wiped out three Earth-rank experts with a single move, one of them even late Earth-rank. What power that must have been! Yao Yao, Xiaoshu, you were both there at the time, weren't you? Tell me what happened," Chen Yuxuan said. Seeing everyone's grief, he shot Shen Yushu a look. Wei Zhao was not here, but he might return at any moment, so Chen decisively changed the subject.
"Yes! Yao Yao and I saw it from the side!" Shen Yushu immediately took the hint and began. "It happened like this. Yao Yao and I had just gotten home... We were at a loss, and those three were about to take our lives and General Weiwu's. Then Brother Arrow Shield descended like a celestial being, blocked them in front of us, and, with remarkable poise, said two words to those three Earth-rank experts: 'One move!'"
Shen Yushu's vivid account made everyone feel as if they were there. Especially when they heard that Wei Zhao had said those two words—"One move!"—their blood boiled! What self-confidence did it take to face three Earth-rank experts with such arrogance?
And Wei Zhao had not been boasting; he had truly done it—killing three Earth-rank experts in one move. To experts of the same rank, this was almost mythical. Even a peak late Earth-rank expert would not dare claim he could annihilate three early Earth-rank experts in a single move!
After all, at the Earth rank, the gap in strength still mattered, but not as much as it had before Earth rank. In battles between Earth-rank experts, victory depended on martial skills!
