Starting to Gain Experience from Push-Ups Chapter 1442 - 696:

Seeing the proposal for peace being rebuffed, the terror in Ghost Fox’s eyes magnified again.

He frantically scanned his surroundings; all the assassins he brought with him had already turned into incomplete chunks of flesh scattered everywhere.

Only he was left, trapped in this storm, isolated and helpless.

Fatty Hu and Ah Fei flanked him on either side, killing intent radiating from them, completely cutting off all his escape routes.

Ghost Fox staggered two steps back, his spine hitting hard against the half-collapsed brick wall, leaving him with no way out.

Seeing no hope of survival, the veins on his forehead bulged, his once refined face completely twisted, and he roared sharply:

"Don’t push me! I am the base leader of the Black Shark Organization in Xia Country. If I die here tonight, your Illuminati won’t be able to withstand our leader’s wrath! By then..."

"Pff."

Fatty Hu grinned, letting out a loud mock laugh.

He wiped the rainwater off his face and took a bold step forward:

"Is Black Shark Organization that impressive? In the end, it’s just a bunch of assassins hiding in the dark, hired by others."

"When Grandpa Tiger was making a name for himself, he also joined the world’s top assassin group ’Blood Demon’, known as the Chief Fighter. You lot who play with bugs and wield backstabbing guns aren’t fit to lace my shoes!"

Seeing a flicker of shocked anger in Ghost Fox’s eyes at being belittled, Fatty Hu scratched his wet scalp, stopped boasting, and pointed ahead:

"Besides, our chairman’s power is terrifying, didn’t you see it just now? Do you really think that the sneaky leader of your Black Shark can overpower him?"

Fatty Hu said this and then turned his head to look at Li Fei opposite him:

"Ah Fei, what do you think?"

Ah Fei tightened his grip on the dagger in his hand, shook his head slowly:

"I’ve only seen the Black Shark Leader once, but in terms of intimidation, his power isn’t necessarily stronger than the Chairman’s."

"Did you hear that?"

Upon hearing this, Fatty Hu became even more smug, smashing his fists together, creating a dull thud:

"Still trying to use that damn leader to threaten us? With the Chairman in command, we’ll slaughter any Black Shark member that comes, come two, bury a pair. Leave them all at the farm as fertilizer, believe it or not?"

Ghost Fox was suddenly anxious upon hearing this.

He knew conventional threats were useless against these desperadoes, so he raised his voice sharply, roaring with false bravado:

"What do you know! While the Black Shark Organization’s power is limited, a truly gigantic entity is hidden behind it; that’s the world’s most powerful mutant organization!"

"Not just me, even our leader is just one of the peripheral members!"

Rainwater flowed down his chin into his neck, and seeing the attention of the three was captured, Ghost Fox swallowed and continued to raise the stakes:

"Although this mission to capture the defectors was secret, quite a few people within the base knew about it."

"If you kill me, those terrifying monsters in the organization’s upper echelon will definitely swarm out."

"By that time, not only you but the entire Illuminati, and everyone connected to you, will be buried with me!"

Fatty Hu’s mouth twisted, spitting disdainfully:

"To hell with you and your mutant organization threats! Was Grandpa Tiger scared into submission? I don’t give a damn what kind of freaks you’re hiding behind you; I’m smashing your skull first today!"

As he spoke, Fatty Hu clenched his fists as big as casserole dishes, muscles tensed in his legs, about to move into action.

"Fatty Hu, hold on."

But at that moment, Fang Cheng raised his right hand.

The words were light, yet Fatty Hu, as if receiving a military order, abruptly stopped his forward momentum and obediently returned to his original position.

Fang Cheng stepped forward, his shoes stomping on the muddy water, producing rhythmic and dull pattering sounds.

He stopped three steps in front of Ghost Fox, looking down condescendingly at this man who had completely lost his fighting spirit.

Through the hideous crimson Evil Ghost Mask, his voice was as calm as water yet bore an unmistakable imposing force:

"The force you say is hidden behind Black Shark, is it Ideal Land?"

Ghost Fox looked up sharply in shock:

"How do you know about Ideal Land?!"

Ah Fei stood to the side, a few traces of confusion in his eyes, clearly having never heard the name before.

But Fatty Hu’s expression tightened, the flesh on his face straightening instantly.

After joining the Illuminati, he had often heard from senior members about this secret force being the biggest nemesis of their organization, lurking behind the scenes of the world.

Noting Fatty Hu’s subtle stiffness, Ghost Fox assumed the "Ideal Land" name had finally managed to subdue these stars, a surge of joy swelling in his heart.

Seizing this lifeline, he urgently threw out a bargaining chip:

"Since you know of Ideal Land, you should understand the consequences of provoking our organization."

"To be honest, Ideal Land has a grand plan in East Capital recently, with top experts from all over the world continuously gathering here."

"East Capital, no, the entire Xia Country is about to change drastically! I advise you to be wise. Opposing us now is like an ant trying to stop a cart; better to take advantage of the power transition to secure early wealth and a retreat."

Fang Cheng’s eyes flickered slightly, but his tone remained as even as ever:

"What is Ideal Land’s plan? Which members came? What are you intending to do?"

Ghost Fox’s eyes rolled, vaguely stalling:

"This plan is massive, it can’t be explained in a short time..."

"How about this: you let me go first, and I won’t pursue tonight’s matter. Once back at the safe house, I’ll list the member names I know and the details of the plan for you."

"Bullshit!"
