C273 He Lied to Elder Zhuo(1)

Faang Xuan wouldn't stop until he finished his sentence. His mouth was full of nonsense, and he was only thinking about how to say it in a shocking manner. However, he didn't expect that when the skinny old man heard this, a huge wave of emotions surged in his heart.

Although the Zhuo family did show signs of attacking the Secret Service Company, and he was the one who sent this news back to the Secret Service Company, this matter was strictly forbidden by the old ghost at that time. Faang Xuan didn't know whether the old ghost had reported this to the big shot or not.

However, when faced with this terrifying old man, Faang Xuan had reason to believe it. His position in the Secret Service company was very high, and he purposely mentioned Zhuo Tianyang's name. He simply wanted to mess things up. Who asked him to not think of a way to escape?

Suddenly, just as Faang Xuan deliberately revealed his hedonistic nature and pretended to be indifferent, a dangerous aura that he had never felt in his two lives rushed towards him.

It was just a slight gust of wind. With Faang Xuan's keen eyesight, he could clearly see the dust in the air, but he could not see any abnormalities in the wind.

This sudden cold wind seemed to directly blow into his heart, causing his entire heart to involuntarily shudder. All the pores on his body closed up, and a layer of goosebumps arose spontaneously.

That was the reaction of his body surpassing his brain, instinctively giving birth to a layer of protection. However, in the face of absolute power, all resistance seemed to be futile.

Sure enough, before Faang Xuan's thick eyebrows were completely raised, a withered palm directly grabbed his throat. His five chicken claw-like fingers tightened, and instantly, a suffocating feeling spread throughout his entire body.

At this moment, the aura of death was approaching him.

Faang Xuan sighed softly, it was sad...

He was the meat on the chopping block. This was a feeling that he had never experienced in many years.

"Kid, where did you hear what you just said?"

The old man's voice was no longer gentle, and the smile on his face was no longer kind. Instead, it was empty, numb, and without the slightest bit of condescension.

That's right, when humans, the spirits of all things, wanted to crush an ant to death, their eyes were also hollow and numb. In the eyes of humans, ants were not even considered life. They simply did not deserve to enjoy the condescension of humans.

"Are you very nervous?"

If his neck was grabbed, an ordinary person would definitely be shocked and lose his mind, causing his mental state to collapse. In addition to the calm expression that the old man showed, he really did not treat Faang Xuan as a human being.

Faang Xuan could feel that the old man really wanted to kill him. If his answer did not satisfy him, then death was only a matter of time.

However, Faang Xuan was after all, Faang Xuan. He had lived two lives, and he probably couldn't even count the number of life and death that he had experienced. Even though it was already the most critical moment of life and death, it was still a matter of time before he died. His mind was incomparably clear. Even his breathing had become very light.

Although the old man had already grabbed his neck, leaving only a tiny gap in his trachea, Faang Xuan didn't seem to feel any discomfort at all.

"Hehe, you are very nervous, right?"

The corner of Faang Xuan's mouth revealed a trace of a smile. There was no answer in Faang Xuan's words. Instead, it was a mocking smile.

"Humph!"

A faint cold snort came out from the old man's nose. However, when it entered Faang Xuan's ears, it was no less than a clap of thunder. Two streams of dark red blood flowed out of his ears. His face turned pale because of this simple cold snort.

He could no longer maintain his calm breathing. The injury caused by the cold snort could only be compensated by a large amount of fresh air flowing into his lungs.

"You should understand the gap between us. Killing you is easier than crushing an ant. So, don't use your ignorance to challenge my bottom line. Do you understand?"

It was unknown whether it was intentional or not, but when the old man said this, his five fingers loosened slightly. This way, it would be more convenient for Faang Xuan to breathe fresh air.

Fresh air flowed into his lungs and into every blood vessel, meridian, and every pore. The suffocating feeling that he had suppressed suddenly disappeared. It turned out that life was so beautiful. No wonder he would rather die than live.

Faang Xuan laughed coldly in his heart. The old man's seemingly casual action... He deliberately loosened his grip. It was not out of good intentions, but to let Faang Xuan experience the feeling between life and death. This was more effective than any vicious words.

He believed that no matter who it was, when they were on the verge of suffocation, their breathing would suddenly become smooth and their mind would be greatly shaken. From death to life, they would grab onto this life-saving straw and desperately want to live.

As expected, the older the wiser. Not only was the old man's strength unpredictable, even his scheming was more dangerous than mountains and rivers, and his shrewdness was deeper than that of subtlety.

"Little friend, have you thought of the answer I asked?"0

The old man looked at Faang Xuan and asked plainly. His eyes were very casual. It was the kind of casual look that could turn a person into ashes in the blink of an eye. "Oh right, I forgot to tell you. My name is Zhuo Ruhai."

"Zhuo Ruhai?"
