Chapter 823: Chapter 825: The Mantis Stalks the Cicada
In an abandoned old warehouse, stood a few men dressed in kimonos, their faces already showing signs of impatience.
"That woman won’t be playing us, will she? How long has it been? She’s still not here."
"Let’s be patient a little longer, I believe she wouldn’t dare to play us."
"Big brother, why are we teaming up with the Black Witch Sect? We can complete the task on our own!"
One of the shortest men said indignantly, "Every time I see that Black Widow, I get angry inside!"
The man referred to as the big brother, looking young and handsome, but already over fifty, hummed with contemplation: "Had you not harbored lustful thoughts for her, would she have acted against you? Third, don’t forget the real purpose of our visit to Huaxia."
The short man grumbled, at first he lusted after the Black Widow for her beauty and couldn’t resist his desires briefly. But this Black Widow was truly heartless and ruthless; he hadn’t even touched her, she swiftly grabbed his balls, leaving him bereft of happiness in the lower half of his life!
That’s why he now utterly despised the Black Widow. Having a beauty before him, but unable to savor it, was incredibly frustrating!
As they were conversing, the Black Widow walked over from the other side.
She had actually arrived earlier, even overhearing their conversation. The Black Widow smiled with disdain and approached, saying: "If you feel disadvantaged by the destruction of your manhood, I have a better solution for you, to spare you the agony of seeing a beauty yet not being able to taste her."
The short man, seeing the Black Widow, glared fiercely, "Hmph! Do you even realize what time it is? You’re only arriving now, do you take us seriously at all? It seems you don’t value our cooperation!"
"Had I not intentionally arrived late, how could I hear your inner voice? The fact that you hate me so much is rather my honor."
Replied the Black Widow, then she shifted the topic to the main point, stating: "I heard about your actions today, though disrupting the order was good, you went too far. Do you know the martial arts event tomorrow has been canceled?"
The man known as the big brother snorted, "Our aim was precisely to cancel their martial arts event, then eliminate them one by one."
"But our original plan wasn’t like this!" The Black Widow’s face turned solemn, originally it was agreed to merely create minor disturbances to attract those people’s attention.
The man laughed, a particularly sleazy laugh. "Should I call you naive, or just foolish? I really wonder how you, with your intelligence, became the Sect Hierarch of the Black Witch Sect? How have you led the Black Witch Sect for so many years? But thinking about it, if you were smart enough, the Black Witch Sect wouldn’t be in its current state."
The Black Widow squinted her eyes, her cold gaze shot out from her eyes, "Seems like you don’t want to adhere to our agreement, do you?"
"Adhere? You should have realized from the start, our agreement isn’t based on adhering, it’s based on you following, unconditionally following our every arrangement."
The short man snorted lightly.
The Black Widow laughed coldly, "Since you’ve said that, I’ll tell you bluntly, I specifically placed Insect Poisonous Insect on you to prevent you from reneging. Have you not realized your body isn’t as good as before recently?"
The three men glanced at each other, they hadn’t noticed anything initially. But in the past few days, they’ve been inexplicably fatigued; at first, they thought it was due to being busy and overworked recently, unexpectedly it was the Black Widow’s doing inside their body.
The Black Widow’s lips curled into a contemptuous smile, she took out a flute from somewhere, slowly placed it to her lips, and began playing it.
The sound stirred the Insect Poisonous Insect inside the three men’s bodies, making them restless and uneasy.
Only then did the three men clearly feel changes within their bodies, "Damn it, you actually placed the poisonous insects on us."
The Black Widow just wanted to inform them that their lives were now in her hands; she only played it briefly before stopping.
She laughed and said lightly, "Initially, you didn’t want to adhere, yet now I’ve changed my mind thanks to you, if you so wish to follow, then let’s follow — adhere unconditionally to my every command."
The Black Widow’s face gradually turned somber, "Otherwise... If these poisonous insects don’t listen to my orders, the consequences could be serious."
The man known as the big brother’s face turned pale, "I’ve long heard the Black Witch Sect is skilled with poisons, didn’t expect it to be true. Black Widow, I retract what I just said, we’ll mutually adhere to our agreement."
Seems this Black Widow isn’t as foolish as imagined.
The Black Widow laughed, "Now only saying this, don’t you think it’s a bit late?"
These people never kept their word, how could she not know? That’s why she placed Insect Poisonous Insect on them.
"Okay, the purpose of my visit isn’t to discuss whether to adhere or follow. I just came to tell you, thanks to your feats, the summit’s order has been successfully disrupted, tomorrow’s martial arts event will be canceled, replaced by a high-level meeting."
"High-level meeting?" The man known as big brother was taken aback, "If there’s a high-level meeting, can you attend?"
The Black Widow snorted lightly, "Seems you still don’t understand the current situation, because of your feats, I’ve succeeded in earning their suspicion, so I can’t attend tomorrow’s meeting."
"Suspicion? Why would they suspect you?"
The Black Widow looked at him like a fool, "What do you think?"
She didn’t have the mind to discuss further, directly saying again: "But there’s one thing worth cheering for."
"What cheerful thing?"
"Have you heard of the Dragon Group?" The Black Widow asked.
Seeing the bewilderment flashing across the three men’s faces, she knew in her heart that these people didn’t know of the Dragon Group’s existence.
"The Dragon Group has always targeted Ancient Martial Arts, and now Ancient Martial Arts is hosting a summit in the Capital City, naturally they wouldn’t just watch."
"I heard last night, the Dragon Group started taking action, the martial arts venue was damaged."
The Black Widow nodded, "Yes, so I’ve decided, now we can sit back and watch, let the Dragon Group charge ahead."
The man known as big brother realized, he nodded approvingly, "You Huaxia people have a saying, ’The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.’ We will be the oriole!"
