Oh no! I, the weakling, have become the villain!

Chapter 398 Confession

"I said, can you come up with a better excuse next time? Even if you say we bullied the kids, we'll accept it."

"They're saying we killed someone's whole family right off the bat? I think I, Xu Yao, am still my friend, Zero One."

"While I wouldn't presume to call myself a gentleman, I would absolutely never do something so shameless."

"Now that you've all come to attack the Qian family, I can only say that if you don't have any evidence, you'd better get out of here."

"Otherwise, don't talk nonsense to me here. Do you think I care what you think?"

Xu Yao's words were quite clear; he was now blatantly issuing an order to leave, it just depended on whether these people understood.

Only after hearing Xu Yao's words did the people from these sects leave.

After all, Xu Yao's strength is what it is, so if there really is some other way...

No one would say it was the right time, it's just that Xu Yao is too powerful, and no one is qualified to make a move.

After these people left, Xu Yao said to Du Fubao and Lingyi, "Come with me to the reception room."

"I need to talk to you two," Xu Yao said.

Ling nodded slightly, while Du Fubao glanced at Xu Yao with some concern.

For some reason, although Du Fubao was not afraid of anyone, he was only worried about Xu Yao.

It was as if Xu Yao could kill him with a single glance, and this really worried Du Fubao.

But now Xu Yao wants him and Lingyi to see him, and he can't refuse no matter what.

If he refused, things wouldn't be so simple, so Du Fubao didn't want to go.

But I still went anyway, even though it hurt.

Upon arriving at the reception room, Xu Yao addressed the two directly, saying, "Zero One, tell me, why did you kill the entire Lin family?"

Zero One then said, "Xu Yao, you know me. If it really was me who made the move, then the Lin family wouldn't be discovered."

"I won't leave any tools or evidence behind; I always strike cleanly and decisively,"

“I just don’t know why that jade pendant is in the Lin family’s house. I really don’t know anything about it,” Zero One said.

"You really didn't do anything?" Xu Yao asked curiously.

Zero One then said, "I am, after all, the leader of the Tianxing Tribe. What I did, I did; what I didn't do, I didn't do."

“I’m not that shameful, there’s nothing to say about it,” Zero One said.

Since Zero-One has already spoken so frankly, what else is there to say?

Xu Yao nodded, then turned and said, "Du Fubao, what exactly is your purpose and mission?"

“That’s why you came here to approach us. If you tell us this, I might let you go.” Jiang Hao said to Du Fubao.

Du Fubao, however, would never admit that he was there to cause trouble, so he said to Xu Yao, "Mr. Xu Yao."

“How could I possibly say I would do such a thing? I said before that I would follow you, and that means I will follow you for life.”

“Unless you don’t want me anymore, I can’t say I won’t follow you,” Du Fubao said.

Xu Yao also said, "I'm not saying this about Du Fubao, you should know it yourself."

"Since I'm asking you this, it means I must have evidence. Do you think I'm an idiot now?"

"I need to know where the man in black you met last night is."

“Tell me about this, and I'll let bygones be bygones. But if you help this man in black to deceive us,”

"Then things won't be that simple. Anyway, since I know where you were last night..."

"I can naturally handle this matter thoroughly, so Du Fubao, you'd better behave yourself."

“You know what to do,” Xu Yao said.

Upon hearing Xu Yao's words, Du Fubao stubbornly refused to admit it, insisting, "I didn't do anything."

"You can't let this happen over such a small thing. You've created these problems for me. I don't think I'm the one with the problem."

“I have always been determined to follow you loyally. If you don’t believe me, then I have nothing more to say,” Du Fubao said.

Seeing that Du Fubao was still being stubborn, Xu Yao directly produced the head of the person Du Fubao had met the previous night.

Du Fubao was so frightened by what he saw that he was speechless.

Jiang Hao then said, "You met with this man in black in the back garden last night. Do you think I didn't know?"

"I just haven't called you out yet. I'm not interested in saying anything else now, but I do want to know."

"If you tell me exactly what your mission is, then this matter can be dropped."

“If you still don’t tell me, then I’ll show you what I’m capable of,” Xu Yao said.

Du Fubao then stammered, "If you kill this man in black, then will there be no more men in black in this world?"

"I don't know about that. Is there something you need?"

At this point, Du Fubao simply went all out and said, "I had no choice; this man in black poisoned me."

"I must gain your trust. This man in black was the one who told me to gain your trust, no matter what means I have to use."

“He will take action once he gains your trust, but I didn’t expect you to…” Du Fubao stopped there.

At this moment, Xu Yaocai said, "Du Fubao, are you just going to do whatever this man in black tells you to do?"

“I don’t recall you, Du Fubao, ever having such an invisible and submissive nature.”

At this moment, Du Fubao said, "This man in black made me take poison before, I had no choice."

"I couldn't beat him, so I had to take the poison he gave me. After I took the poison, the man in black told me."

"I need to take a new antidote every ten days, so that I won't be unbearably itchy all over after ten days of reading the Dharma."

“I didn’t want to die such a gruesome death, so I agreed to this approach, just as the man in black suggested.”

"I will take the opportunity to get close to you and gain your trust. Only in this way can I obtain the final antidote."

"I had no choice. I have poison in my body. I was forced into this situation," Du Fubao said painfully.

Xu Yao snorted coldly: "So you mean, this man in black can poison you, but I can't?"
