Starting to Gain Experience from Push-Ups Chapter 1436 - 693:

"Once someone appears, listen to my command, be ready to act anytime, and never give the enemy a chance to fight back."

Blood Jackal and Old Badger exchanged a glance and straightened their spines:

"Understood, boss!"

Ghost Fox lowered his eyelids and fell silent.

The dark purple centipede perched at the base of the thumb sensed its owner’s emotion, swiftly scurried along his knuckles, and then slipped back into the wide sleeve of the trench coat with a hiss.

The wind clattered the window noisily.

A heavy rainstorm loomed outside, the fierce wind swirling ominously over Peace Farm.

The farm owner’s family, tied up in the corner of the wall, looked desolate.

The male owner lay on the ground, with dried blood still at the corner of his mouth.

The female owner looked bleak, using her body to shield her two children.

All four of them had their eyes closed, their bodies trembling uncontrollably.

Meanwhile, Li Jie, battered and bruised, moved his neck from where he was bound to the central support pillar in the hall.

He struggled to lift his heavy eyelids, and through blood-blurred vision, stared at the tightly closed door.

Tick-tock, tick-tock.

The wall clock ticked monotonously.

The minute hand crept slowly towards twelve o’clock.

Time, approaching the stroke of midnight.

Suddenly, a burst of static came through the micro-communicator in Old Badger’s ear.

Then, came the slightly hurried sound of breathing.

Old Badger’s expression shifted, and he immediately raised his hand to press the earpiece.

A moment later, he abruptly turned his head to look at Ghost Fox seated on the sofa, and reported in a lowered voice:

"Boss, they’re here!"

"They’re here?"

Blood Jackal’s eyes brightened, and he jumped off the sofa.

His right hand instantly gripped the hilt of the knife at his thigh, his face full of excitement.

Ghost Fox sat still.

He just slightly tilted his head, his ear twitched slightly.

Through the feedback from the Gu Worms scattered in the grass, he accurately caught the faint sound of footsteps.

Two people were walking towards the farmhouse main building.

He slowly got up, pulled up the collar of his trench coat to cover his sharp chin.

"Proceed according to the original plan, ready to act."

Ghost Fox’s eyes were icy, his tone sinister:

"Since they dare to accept our challenge, let’s send them off."

Killing intent surged in his eyes, a decision steeled in his heart.

Tonight, this remote farmstead was destined to become the graveyard of that so-called Illuminati.

Eliminate that ignorant leader, retrieve the secret scroll list, and he would immediately return to the base to report and redeem himself.

.........

The wild wind swept across the field, skimming over the roof of Peace Farm.

All around fell into suffocating darkness and silence.

"Pat-pat."

Faint footsteps sounded on the perimeter of the courtyard, crunching the dry branches underfoot.

Two figures emerged one after the other from the darkness.

In those surrounding bungalows, it seemed a pair of lurking eyes lit up, filled with intense killing intent, coldly staring at these two uninvited guests.

"Snap."

The high-pressure lamp in the farm’s courtyard suddenly turned on.

The glaring white light formed a huge halo, completely enveloping the two uninvited guests.

The person on the left was burly, with a bare head and clad in a tight black vest, the thick muscles bulging prominently.

The person on the right was thin, with a pallor indicating blood loss, multiple bandages wrapped around his body, his steps somewhat unsteady.

It was Fatty Hu and Li Fei.

"Li Fei, you’re still alive?"

A somewhat surprised male voice came from the main building’s living room.

Li Fei halted, lifted his head, his bloodshot eyes staring at the window of the main building, gritting his teeth as he replied:

"Ghost Fox, as long as you’re alive, how could I bear to leave first!"

Inside the main building’s living room.

Old Badger and Blood Jackal looked at each other, faces full of astonishment.

According to the organization’s knowledge, after Li Fei took that Three Corpses Brain God Pill, if he didn’t get the boss’s unique antidote, he wouldn’t last more than twenty-four hours.

Typically, he should now be suffering from Gu Poison wreaking havoc, enduring nerve-wrenching pain, not to mention walking, even speaking should be impossible.

But now, Li Fei stood lively outside.

Old Badger’s heart skipped a beat, a bad premonition surged up.

If the other side could unravel such a high-level Gu poison, had their abilities, configurations, and personnel been thoroughly understood?

Before the support pillar.

The consciousness of Li Jie, on the verge of fainting, recognized the voice of his junior.

He jerked, trying hard to lift his head to call out.

Yet due to excessive blood loss, he merely opened his cracked lips, unable to produce a sound from his throat.

The farm owner’s family, huddled in the corner, was even more filled with trepidation and huddled together, shivering.

Ghost Fox stood by the window.

He raised his hand and directly pulled open the entire curtain.

Through a layer of glass, his eyes looked past Li Fei standing dozens of meters away, to the towering figure beside him like an iron tower.

"Is that man the Illuminati’s Chairman?"

Blood Jackal moved to the window, sizing up Fatty Hu.

Looking at the other’s similarly bald, muscular form, Blood Jackal smirked, muttering:

"Looks like me, a brute relying purely on physical enhancement. Besides being bulkier, not much to look at."

Ghost Fox ignored Blood Jackal’s remark.

He pushed open half of the window, his deep voice drifted into the courtyard with the wind:

"Are you the Chairman of the Illuminati? How do I address you?"

Under the lights, Fatty Hu stroked his bald head, raising his chin, replied boldly:

"In life I won’t change my name, in death I won’t change my surname, I am the top man of the Illuminati! The brothers in the underworld give me face, and call me Brother Hu. You’re that Ghost Fox, eh?"
