"I need to ask you about this. If you hadn't provoked me, I wouldn't have done this. Now that we're being frank, just tell me where the prescription is."
Xia Yan's brows furrowed slightly, but a smile suddenly appeared at the corner of his mouth. Seeing this, Master Long's eyes flashed with confusion, but then he heard Xia Yan say to him:
"You've got a bad idea. Do you think we (aeej) will leave the formula behind after we destroy your experimental base? You're being incredibly naive. Otherwise, we would have destroyed it long ago when we left the experimental base."
Upon hearing these words, a hint of anger flashed in Master Long's eyes, but he didn't believe it either, because he understood the character of Shirogane Miyuki and Natsuhiko.
Knowing they shouldn't have done such a thing, and realizing this, he still harbored doubts. He glanced at Shirogane Miyuki and Natsuhiko, then said directly to them:
"Since you're so stubborn and unwilling to tell the truth, don't blame me for being impolite."
After saying these words, amidst the puzzled looks of Shirogane Miyuki and Natsuhiko, Lord Long made a gesture to his subordinate, and then Shirogane Miyuki and Natsuhiko saw the first person to carry a medicine slowly walk up to them.
Seeing this scene, the confusion in Shirogane Miyuki's and Natsuhiko's eyes deepened. Before they could react, several men in black surrounded them and restrained their movements.
Shirogane Yuki and Xia Yan were now like fish on a chopping board, completely at their mercy. Seeing this, his brows furrowed tightly. At the same time, Long Ye's men had already fed all the medicine they had just received into Shirogane Yuki and Xia Yan's mouths.
Immediately afterwards, Shirogane Miyuki and Natsuhiko felt as if their consciousness was slowly fading and their bodies were out of control. Seeing this, the smile in Long Ye's eyes deepened. After administering medicine to Natsuhiko and Shirogane Miyuki, he...
Master Long questioned them again, but to his shock, after taking the medicine, Shirogane Yuki and Natsuhiko's statements remained unchanged. Realizing this, Master Long's anger deepened.
Because in Xiaolong's eyes, that was an experiment that had cost him a lot of effort and money, how could it be destroyed so easily? Then he glared fiercely at the bound Shirogane Miyuki and Natsuhiko, a hint of murderous intent flashing in his eyes.
Chapter 303 Questioning
Moreover, Long Ye's actions are indeed quite contradictory. In his view, Xia Yan and Bai Yin Yuxing are simply deceiving him and playing with him, but he knows very well in his heart that there is nothing wrong with his medicine.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have known where Xia Yan and Shirogane Miyuki were after feeding Chika and Ram the medicine.
Realizing this, Master Long's brows furrowed deeply. He questioned Xia Yan and Shirogane Miyuki several times, but their accounts remained unchanged. Master Long's anger intensified, and after glaring fiercely at Xia Yan and Shirogane Miyuki, he turned to his subordinates and said:
"Alright, since they're so stubborn, let them keep bragging. For the next few days, no one is allowed to bring them food or water. Cut off their food supply and let's see how many more days they can hold out."
After saying these words, the anger in Lord Long's eyes deepened. He glanced at Shirogane Miyuki and Natsuhiko one last time before turning and leaving. However, immediately after Lord Long left, several men carrying instruments of torture approached Natsuhiko and Shirogane Miyuki.
Because Lord Long was already furious with himself, he was not going to let Shirogane Yuki and Natsuhiko off the hook. He not only cut off their food supply, but also tortured them every day.
The point is that after a while, Xia Yan's brows furrowed tightly. He could hold on for the first few days, but after all, they had been hiding in the mountains for so many days before being picked up by Qianhua and Ram's people.
Then they fell directly into Master Long's trap. At this point, they were cut off from food and subjected to daily torture. Their bodies quickly gave out, especially Xia Yan, who had already fallen ill in the mountains. After this ordeal, his health rapidly deteriorated.
Seeing this, Shirogane Miyuki frowned slightly, a hint of worry flashing in his eyes. But he too was nearing his limit. He glanced at Natsuhiko beside him and then said:
"This can't go on. Although Master Long still wants to know where the prescription is, if things continue like this, we won't be able to hold out for more than a few days..."
Upon hearing this, Xia Yan, who was standing to the side, showed a hint of agreement in his eyes. However, he felt powerless to do anything about the matter at hand. After all, if Master Long didn't get the prescription, he wouldn't let them go. But he also wouldn't easily hand over the prescription to Master Long.
Moreover, he already knew what Master Long and his group's purpose was. Realizing this, Xia Yan frowned deeply. Just as Xia Yan was thinking this, he didn't expect that Shirogane Yuki, who was standing to the side, would shout loudly outside:
9. "Oh dear, I can't hold on any longer. Come here quickly, I'll tell you where we hid the prescription. Your Lord Dragon is really something, he knew we didn't destroy the prescription. Come here quickly and give me the food."
Seeing this scene, Xia Yan's shock deepened, because he never expected Shirogane Miyuki to do such a thing.
Chapter 304 Deception
However, at the same time, he now looks down on one of Shirogane Miyuki's actions.
Xia Yan rolled his eyes at Shirogane Miyuki and then said to him:
"I look down on you. We were brothers who had risked our lives together and fought side by side. Are you going to give up because of this?"
Upon seeing this scene, a hint of helplessness flashed in Shirogane Miyuki's eyes. Just as he was about to explain, he heard footsteps outside. A glint appeared in his eyes, and he immediately turned to Xia Yan and said:
"Hey, what do you know? When has it ever been more important than our lives? It's just a prescription that's been hidden away. We can just give it to him later, right? They've tortured you like this, and you still won't admit defeat?"
Hearing these words, Xia Yan's disdain deepened. However, before he could refute Shirogane Yuki, he heard a round of applause.
Then Master Long's voice came over:
"Haha, you're so sensible. In that case, tell me where the prescription is. If you tell me, I'll naturally put all the precious food in front of you."
Upon hearing this, Shirogane Miyuki pretended to glance at it, and a hint of hesitation flashed in Xia Yan's eyes. However, Xia Yan glared fiercely at Shirogane Miyuki and then said directly to him:
"Now I see what kind of person you are. But I can tell you clearly now, if you really want to reveal the whereabouts of the prescription, I will definitely not let you off. From now on, we will have no relationship with each other."
Upon hearing these words, Shirogane Miyuki frowned deeply, but his strength was already failing him, so he directly addressed the Dragon Lord before him:
“I don’t care about him anymore. You saw it yourself. I’m telling you this at the risk of my life, so you have to protect me after I tell you. Do you remember the place where Xia Yan and I first went to pick you up? I remember there was an abandoned house there. I think you understand now.”
Upon hearing these words, a glint of light flashed in the eyes of Master Long, but Xia Yan frowned slightly upon hearing them.
Because he knew very well that this was not the right place, Xia Yan glanced at Shirogane Miyuki's expression and noticed a smile slowly creeping onto Shirogane Miyuki's lips.
Seeing this scene, Xia Yan vaguely understood that Shirogane Miyuki didn't intend to reveal the location of the medicine. After realizing this, a hint of joy flashed in his eyes. However, when he thought that Shirogane Miyuki had just made up a location to tell Lord Long, his smile deepened.
Xia Yan had been suppressing his laughter the whole time, while after Long Ye and his men got the exact location, they didn't waste any more time and hurriedly led their men to find the location of the prescription.
As Long Ye's figure slowly disappeared from his sight, Xia Yan's smile deepened. He glanced at Bai Yin Yuxing, who smiled back at him. Before Xia Yan could say anything else, several people brought food to them.
Chapter 305 Worry
Xia Yan looked around and noticed that these people had brought them a lot of good food. After realizing this, he glanced at Shirogane Miyuki and now had to admit that Shirogane Miyuki was clever.
Although they were all very hungry and were wolfing down their food, Xia Yan was still worried that if Master Long noticed something was wrong, their situation would become even more dangerous.
Realizing this, Xia Yan suddenly felt that the food in front of him had instantly lost its flavor. He then glanced at Shirogane Miyuki beside him with great concern, and then whispered to him:
"What you just said to Master Long, if they find out something's wrong, our situation will be even more dangerous. Besides, did you really say that place has a prescription? I've never seen you let it go before?"
Upon hearing this, Shirogane Miyuki glanced at Xia Yan without any concern, a slow smile spreading across his lips, before continuing to speak to Xia Yan:
"You're overthinking things. Besides, am I the kind of person who does things without certainty? Don't worry, that place definitely has the prescription; it's just that the prescription is different from the others."
Upon hearing this, a hint of confusion flashed in Xia Yan's eyes. He glanced at Shirogane Miyuki, who seemed to have noticed Xia Yan's doubts. Shirogane Miyuki sighed softly and then told Xia Yan the whole story.
It turns out that Shirogane Miyuki had made a backup plan beforehand. He was worried that if Lord Long's men captured them, they would ask for the prescription and find out its whereabouts. So he changed the prescription in advance and left the prescription for the last ingredient there.
Moreover, when that prescription was first developed, Master Long hadn't looked at it carefully, so Shirogane Yuki knew in his heart that Master Long wouldn't discover it too soon.
Hearing these words, Xia Yan's worry gradually lessened, so he was able to relax and enjoy the food in front of him. Perhaps because Bai Yin Yuxing and Xia Yan had told Master Long about the location of the prescription in advance, Master Long had not made things difficult for them these past two days, and the food had been delivered on time.
Their bodies were slowly recovering, and at the same time, after two days of peace and quiet, Lord Long still came to them with a group of people. After seeing this scene, Xia Yan looked at Bai Yin Yuxing with great vigilance, and Bai Yin Yuxing also felt uneasy, because the two of them thought that their secret had been exposed.
But to their surprise, Master Long came directly to their side and said to the two of them:
"I've already looked at the prescription you two gave me before. It seems you two didn't lie to me. But as you know, you destroyed my entire research lab, so some of my researchers took the opportunity to run away."
After saying these words, a hint of anger flashed in Master Long's eyes. Xia Yan, standing to the side, was quite puzzled. He didn't understand what Master Long meant by saying these words to him. However, Xia Yan had a vague feeling that Master Long and his men hadn't noticed anything wrong with the prescription.
Realizing this, Xia Yan gradually let go of his worries and then glanced at Master Long.
Chapter 306 Request
He then said, "Then I don't know what Master Long means by this. We're going crazy right now, and we've told you everything. Do you still want to imprison us?"
Lord Long frowned slightly, but he wasn't angry at Xia Yan's words. Instead, he glanced at Bai Yin Yuxing and Xia Yan, and then spoke to them again:
"I know you two have done research in this area before, but my current staff can't figure out this formula at all. So now I have no choice but to try it out as a last resort. Of course, if you two can figure it out for me, I will reward you handsomely."
Upon hearing this, a look of shock flashed in Xia Yan557's eyes, because he had thought of all sorts of possible outcomes, but he hadn't expected that even the people under Master Long couldn't figure out the formula, and could only let the two of them try it.
However, Xia Yan instinctively wanted to refuse, because the prescription was fake, and Shirogane Yuki had changed one of the ingredients. If they were to take it, wouldn't the truth be exposed quickly?
But just as Xia Yan was about to refuse outright, he suddenly heard Shirogane Miyuki say from the side:
"Oh, since you've already said that, I understand what you're thinking. But if you want us to try it, you should at least improve our meals. We're tired of the food we've been eating these past few days."
Upon hearing these words, a smile slowly crept onto Lord Long's lips. He knew perfectly well that while his subordinates might not be able to decipher the prescription, Xia Yan and Bai Yin Yuxing, the two members of the Destroyer, certainly did.
Realizing this, the smile on his lips deepened. So, he naturally wouldn't refuse the idea that Shirogane Miyuki had just proposed. However, a look of shock flashed in Xia Yan's eyes. He was about to object when he saw Shirogane Miyuki glance at him.
Xia Yan then gradually understood in his heart that they were still in the hands of Master Long. If they did not agree, Master Long would try his best to make them agree. It would be better for them to agree now and avoid physical suffering.
Moreover, Xia Yan now understands perfectly well that Shirogane Yuki agreed in order to buy time. Furthermore, after seeing Xia Yan and Shirogane Yuki agree, Lord Long's attitude towards them naturally softened considerably.
Originally, Master Long regarded Xia Yan and Shirogane Yukichi as enemies, so he would not treat those who ruined his prescriptions so gently. However, Xia Yan and Shirogane Yukichi still had some value to him. Moreover, his subordinates were unable to figure out the prescription, so they could only ask Xia Yan and Shirogane Yukichi for help.
Realizing this, a shadow crossed Long Ye's eyes, but his attitude towards Xia Yan and Bai Yin Yuxing improved considerably. Xia Yan, realizing this, also gradually deepened his smile.
Despite this, Lord Long remained vigilant and kept them imprisoned. He knew very well that Xia Yan and Bai Yin Yuxing were not easy to deal with. If they were released now, they might escape during this opportunity, making it difficult to capture them again.
Chapter 307 Attitude Change
However, although Lord Long is now very wary of himself, his attitude towards Xia Yan and Bai Yin Yuxing has improved a lot.
Because he was very clear in his heart that Xia Yan and Bai Yinyu were still of use to him and were also important to him, he did give them a better place to live, even though he was still keeping them locked up.
Upon seeing this scene, Xia Yan and Bai Yin Yuxing exchanged glances, a glint of light flashing in their eyes. However, to their surprise, Long Ye then brought Qian Hua and Ram to him.
After the group met, a hint of wariness flashed in their eyes. Once most of the people around Master Long had left, Qianhua and Ram approached Xia Yan anxiously and said to them:
"Are you two alright? You know, we were worried sick about you. How could you two be so reckless? You didn't even tell us beforehand if something happened."
Upon hearing this, a smile slowly crept onto Xia Yan's lips. He knew perfectly well that Chika and Ram were worried about them. But before Xia Yan could speak, he heard Chika and Ram say to them with deep remorse:
"It was indeed our fault in this matter. If it weren't for us, your positions might not have been exposed. It's all our fault, we dragged you into this."
Shirogane Miyuki, standing to the side, frowned slightly, but he was also very clear in his heart that he could not blame Chika and Ram for this matter. After all, they had revealed their location when they were unconscious after being given medicine by Lord Ryu.
Realizing this, he patted Chika Ram on the shoulder and then comforted them:
"It's alright, you don't need to worry about it at all. Look, we're both fine now, aren't we? Besides, Master Long has already sent us to see you."
After hearing these words, Chika and Ram finally came to their senses. They were now very curious about what Xia Yan and Shirogane Yuki had promised Long Ye to allow the four of them to meet.
0 ····Requesting flowers···· ·········
Realizing this, they hurriedly asked Xia Yan and Shirogane Miyuki. Xia Yan and Shirogane Miyuki had also seen through Chika and Ram's thoughts, and sighed softly. Then, Xia Yan, standing to the side, said to the two of them indifferently:
"Think about it, what else can we agree to? Besides, the reason Boss Long captured us is because he wants to put us in his hands. And we destroyed their laboratory, so their subordinates have no way to develop that formula. So they can only beg the two of us."
..... ..... .......
Upon hearing these words, Qianhua and Ram exchanged a glance, a hint of shock flashing in their eyes. They knew very well that Xia Yan had done what he did to destroy that prescription, knowing that if it were to be leaked, it would harm many people.
However, to their surprise, Xia Yan and Bai Yinyuxing had agreed to Long Ye's request to personally investigate the pharmacy. Realizing this, the shock in their eyes gradually deepened.
Chapter 308 Acting
Meanwhile, Xia Yan, who was standing to the side, seemed to have seen through their thoughts. He sighed softly and whispered in their ears:
"Oh, you two, don't worry. We're not stupid. Besides, that prescription might not even be genuine, right?"
Upon hearing these words, a glimmer of light flashed in their eyes, and their worries slowly disappeared. They knew very well that if they handed over the prescription simply because of their comfort, they would never forgive themselves, even if they lived peacefully afterward.
However, they also knew in their hearts that Xia Yan and Bai Yin Yuxing were both very capable and would definitely not hand over the prescription easily.
Meanwhile, just as the group was talking about other things, Lord Long immediately sent someone to send Qianhua and Ram back. Upon seeing this, a shadow crossed Xia Yan's eyes.
