Chapter 455: Aggressive Coercion
Tropical rainforest.
The standoff between Ye Qiu and Frank and the others.
"Heh heh!" Frank eased the injuries within his body, looked at Ye Qiu playfully, and said, "After all, Ye Qiu the Demon King, truly bold, I didn't expect you would actually dare to come find us."
"Didn't you think that once you came, you might never go back?"
"Heh heh, you're quite eager to seek death."
"You're such a fool, now you should've realized, after taking the potion, the strength of each of us three matches yours, with all three dealing with you, do you still have a way out?"
Cliff and Nishihara Takeshi joined in mocking Ye Qiu as well.
To this, Ye Qiu merely smirked dismissively and calmly said, "Enough of the nonsense, first release my brothers. This is a grudge between us, it has nothing to do with my brothers."
"Release them?" Frank couldn't help but laugh coldly, frowning for a moment, then looked at Ye Qiu with deep meaning and said, "Releasing them isn't impossible, but it's not that easy."
"Ye Qiu, you know we brought you here with the intention to kill you, so, are you willing to trade your life for your brothers' lives?"
"If you're willing, then end it yourself now, and afterward, I'll release those few dogs of yours."
As soon as Frank finished speaking, all eyes instantly turned to Ye Qiu.
Especially those ordinary Genetic Warriors nearby, they never expected that Frank would force Ye Qiu into a dead end with such a method right from the start.
"If you're not willing, then I'll kill your brothers now. They're already gravely wounded and on the verge of death; even if you stop us immediately, they'll still die."
Frank added a few more words, his mocking gaze growing even more intense.
"Hahaha!" Cliff couldn't help but burst into laughter, taunting, "Ye Qiu the Demon King, I've long heard of your deep sense of loyalty, now all nineteen of your brothers are in our hands. Trade your life for theirs, surely you'd be willing, right?"
"These brothers of yours trust you greatly, waiting for you to come save them, now it's time for you to show your worth." Nishihara Takeshi chimed in.
"Heh heh!" Just as Frank and the others were prepared to enjoy the spectacle, Ye Qiu laughed indifferently and said, "Regarding your question, I apologize, because I will not use my life to trade for theirs!"
I will not use my life to trade for theirs!
When this statement came out, the whole space suddenly fell silent for a moment!
Almost everyone looked at Ye Qiu with surprised and incredulous eyes.
Not a single person expected that with Ye Qiu's publicly recognized loyal and righteous character, he would refuse!
And so decisively.
"You!" Frank, not expecting Ye Qiu to make such a decision so quickly, couldn't respond immediately, and it took a long while before he said, with a sullen face: "Don't you care about your brothers?"
"Of course I care." Ye Qiu laughed and said, "Otherwise, I wouldn't have come. This time I sought you out to save my brothers. If they're alive, I'll take them back with me; if they're dead, I'll take their bodies back."
"Certainly, if my brothers can live, I'll make your deaths quick. If my brothers die, then I'll make you understand thoroughly what Hell really means."
"You guys are truly ridiculous!" saying this, the corner of Ye Qiu's mouth lifted in a more disdainful smile, "Using such idiotic tactics to threaten me? Don't you realize, from the day Huaxia soldiers step into the camp, they put life and death aside? Do you think my brothers fear death?"
"You're right, if you're going to kill now, I can't stop it. So, go ahead and kill them, but I'll avenge them, and then follow them in death. We'll descend into Hell together, and I'll continue to ruthlessly torment you."
"You've bullied my brothers, so even if you die, I won't let you rest easy, got it?"
Ye Qiu said these words with seriousness.
Especially the sentence about dying together with them.
When discussing death, his eyes didn't blink; it seemed like a normal thing.
Indeed, this is how he thought.
To stand idly by and watch his brothers be killed by enemies, he couldn't do it!
"Humph!" Feeling Ye Qiu's resolute attitude, Frank was momentarily speechless. Before, he naively thought that perhaps this method could push Ye Qiu to his death.
Frank and the others had thought they might fail, but didn't expect to fail so completely.
They believed Ye Qiu's words, that as soon as they killed Shang Yu and the others now, Ye Qiu would avenge them, and then follow them into Hell.
Yet, facing Ye Qiu's steadfast words, none in Frank's group dared to act.
They dared not kill!
Because they knew clearly in their hearts, Ye Qiu's brothers could be injured, but as soon as one died, Ye Qiu would be completely enraged.
Is a furious Ye Qiu really so easy to deal with?
Whether it's Frank, Cliff, or Nishihara Takeshi, none of them are confident.
What kind of person is Ye Qiu?
That's the Demon King!
Once the Demon King is angered to the point of losing reason, who knows what he might do?
Moreover, Frank and his men had arranged everything for so long, waiting for this day, for what purpose? Not to kill Shang Yu and the others, but to kill Ye Qiu in one go!
If during this process, Ye Qiu suddenly erupts and kills them first, then it'd be a bad deal!
Thinking of this, Frank couldn't help but feel annoyed, thinking he held all advantages, yet still so passive.
"Heh heh!"
Frank felt suffocated but no longer mulled over it, laughed coldly, and gave Ye Qiu a deep look, saying, "Your answer really surprised us all. This time, you've won."
"But letting your brothers go still isn't so simple."
"Now, I'll give you another chance, sever your arms yourself. Then I'll release the people immediately. If you're unwilling, with things having escalated this far, I can't manage much more, and I'll start killing immediately."
"Since you want everyone to die together, let's all die together then!"
The last sentence, Frank intensified his tone, with an undeniable aura.
As his words fell, whether at the scene or the various countries' high officials watching in the secret base, everyone's eyes were all fixated on Ye Qiu.
Compared to the previous option, this choice proved even more difficult for Ye Qiu!
