"Hahaha, Zhou Yu, Zhou Yu, should I call you loyal, or stupid?"
The Shi family head looked at Zhou Yu with a sinister smile, full of mockery.
If it weren't for saving these burdens.
With Zhou Yu's strength, so many Qi martial artists wouldn't have been a match for him!
What a pity, what a pity.
Zhou Yu was good at everything, except for being too loyal.
And now, he was even willing to inject the inhibitor serum!
When a martial artist cannot mobilize the true energy within their body.
They are like a tiger with its teeth pulled.
No matter how powerful they are, it's useless!
Previously, the Shi family head had kept his distance, fearing Zhou Yu might suddenly attack and injure him.
Now.
Seeing Zhou Yu inject the inhibitor serum, the Shi family head boldly approached Zhou Yu and scrutinized him with a peculiar gaze.
"Do you know my sister still wants you dead?" the Shi family head asked deliberately.
Zhou Yu snorted coldly and turned his head away.
Seeing this, the Shi family head didn't mind. He just smiled and continued, "But I'm a person who cherishes talent."
"As long as you inject Qi and become a Qi martial artist, loyal to me forever, I won't let anyone harm you. How about it?"
It seemed.
The Shi family head, having witnessed Zhou Yu's medical skills, was moved to recruit him!
That's right.
To be able to quickly advance a nearly stagnant research project to its launch.
Zhou Yu's medical skills were indeed impressive!
Anyone else would be reluctant to kill him directly.
Moreover, the Shi family head had a perfect plan.
Once injected with Qi and becoming a Qi martial artist.
Zhou Yu would be completely unable to betray him.
He could then be used with peace of mind...
"Did you sleep too much during the day and start daydreaming?" Zhou Yu retorted sarcastically.
The Shi family head's expression changed, then he laughed heartily, "The current heads of the Zhu and Xie families are already under my control. If you don't comply, it's fine. You can just accompany them to the afterlife!"
After speaking, the Shi family head waved his hand.
He signaled for other Qi martial artists to bring in a cryogenic container.
*Clink—*
The lid of the box was opened, revealing rows of green serums!
White mist was emanating from the serums.
"These are the latest research from the Shadow Organization."
"Killing you directly would be too easy. It's just right to use you to test the medicine."
As the Shi family head spoke, he took out a serum.
He inserted the needle into the bottle's opening and began to draw the liquid.
The green serum was completely drawn into the syringe.
The expressions of everyone from the Xie and Zhu families changed drastically!
"Don't worry, this is the latest serum developed to turn people into martial artists."
"The success rate is as high as thirty percent!"
"If you succeed, you should thank me for giving you the opportunity to become a martial artist."
The Shi family head said with an evil grin and walked towards Xie Yu.
This kid, since being captured, had been the most stubborn.
If it weren't for luring Zhou Yu into the trap, the Shi family head would have dismembered Xie Yu long ago.
Now, he was perfect for testing the medicine!
"What happens if it fails?" Xie Yu looked at the syringe swaying in front of him and couldn't help but swallow.
The Shi family head said with amusement, "If it fails, you will be corroded from within. Once all your internal organs turn into a pool of blood, you'll be gone."
A thirty percent success rate.
If it failed, it would be like being poisoned, with the internal organs slowly being eroded...
Worse than death!
Xie Yu's teeth chattered with fear, making a clicking sound.
But the Shi family head ignored it, bringing the syringe closer and closer.
Just as it was about to pierce Xie Yu's arm.
"Wait!"
Hearing this, the Shi family head stopped immediately and turned to look at Zhou Yu.
Zhou Yu stared intently at the serum and said to the Shi family head, "I agree."
"Agree to what?" the Shi family head asked deliberately.
"I agree to inject Qi and pledge loyalty to the Shi family!" Zhou Yu said through gritted teeth.
Xie Yu was never cut out for martial arts.
Otherwise, with Elder Xie's guidance, Xie Yu would have already forged his body, or even reached the Ming Jin stage by now!
But in reality, Xie Yu hadn't even reached the introductory level.
Therefore, if this serum was injected, Xie Yu would surely die!
Zhou Yu could only agree to the Shi family head's conditions to buy them time.
The Shi family head smiled with satisfaction, glancing at the serum in the syringe with some regret. "Why didn't you agree sooner? You've wasted a dose of my serum."
Saying that, the Shi family head grabbed a person at random.
And injected the serum into him!
Zhou Yu looked closely.
The person the Shi family head grabbed was the middle-aged man who had been clamoring to withdraw his shares earlier!
He had never seen such a scene and had already peed himself in fear.
The man was limp as he was grabbed by the Shi family head and injected, offering no resistance throughout the process!
He saw.
After being injected, the man was thrown back to the ground.
He curled up like a cooked shrimp.
His entire body trembled uncontrollably!
"Save... save me..."
The man reached out his hand towards Elder Xie, his face contorted in agony!
Elder Xie frowned and took a step back.
He saw.
After being injected with the serum for a while, the man began to twist wildly on the ground as if he were having a seizure.
Blood, dark red, poured out from his eyes, nose, mouth, and ears, splattering everywhere!
Heart-wrenching screams echoed throughout the hall.
The sound was so terrifying that it made one's hair stand on end just listening to it.
Not long after.
The man's screams gradually ceased.
He remained curled up, motionless.
The Shi family head, as if appreciating a piece of art, stared at the man without blinking from beginning to end. Only when the man breathed his last did he lift his head.
"Divine Doctor Zhou, I like sensible people."
"Someone, bring the Qi."
The Shi family head discarded the used syringe, took a new one.
Then he began to draw the Qi contained in the glass bottles!
"Divine Doctor Zhou, this is the Zhu and Xie families' business, you don't have to!"
Elder Xie, even at this point, wanted Zhou Yu to escape.
Being tricked by the Shi family head was a result of their inferiority.
They would face whatever came their way.
At worst, their families would be united in death.
But Zhou Yu was different.
Zhou Yu had only agreed to Jin Shenghuo's request to come and treat Elder Xie.
He didn't need to sacrifice himself for them!
"Go, hurry up and go!"
The people from the Zhu and Xie families urged Zhou Yu anxiously.
They were unable to escape themselves and could only place all their hopes on Zhou Yu!
Zhou Yu, however, remained still. Instead, he said to Elder Xie, "Don't worry, it's just an injection."
"No, you don't understand. Once you inject Qi, you will lose your own thoughts and become a puppet!"
Elder Xie spat out a mouthful of blood, his head throbbing with anxiety!
