Fang Zhi certainly knew what that meant and quickly shouted towards Ling Zhenfei, "Stop, time's up."
Ling Zhenfei was startled after hearing that. What did he mean by time's up? They had clearly said twenty minutes, and it had only been about ten minutes at most, so how could time be up already?
"Are you kidding me? Didn't you say twenty minutes? The time isn't even up yet."
Fang Zhi looked at Ling Zhenfei with a grin: "I'm the referee, and if I say time's up, then it's up."
Ling Zhenfei was startled again, suddenly realizing he was being incredibly foolish, playing a game with some utterly shameless Assassins, and having the opponent's henchman as the referee at that. Winning would be a miracle.
After understanding all this, Ling Zhenfei laughed, "Why didn't you call time when Major Wu caught his first fish then?"
Fang Zhi laughed, "I'm a referee who values fairness and justice. Don't bother talking to me about other things; I only look at the results of the match."
"What were the results of the match then?" Ling Zhenfei asked, staring at Fang Zhi.
Fang Zhi said with a smirk, "The result is quite clear. You caught six fish, our boss caught seven. Naturally, our boss won."
At this moment, Major Wu put everything aside and arrived laughingly, "Ling Zhenfei, I've said before, you're simply no match for me. When it comes to fishing, I am second to none."
Ling Zhenfei almost felt nauseated inside. He couldn't fathom where such confidence came from in this guy, to even utter such a statement.
"Who said you won? We were counting the number of fish. You haven't even counted them, and you say I lost."
Fang Zhi smiled to Ali, "Ling Zhenfei, stop making excuses. There are only six fish in your bucket; I saw it very clearly. You can't magically add another fish, can you?"
"That's right, I asked you before the contest, and you said it yourself, we were comparing the number of fish. If I have over seven fish, I win, right?" Ling Zhenfei looked at Major Wu, then asked Fang Zhi.
Fang Zhi and Major Wu nodded together and said, "Yes, if it's more than seven, then you win."
Ling Zhenfei smiled and said, "You heard what you said, look now."
As he spoke, Ling Zhenfei had already taken a dagger out from the Heaven-Dropping Essence Marrow, grabbed the biggest fish, and with a swift motion of the knife, split the large fish in two.
Inside the belly of that big fish, there were unexpectedly two small fish, clearly swallowed by the big fish not long ago.
Everyone was stunned. Fang Zhi and Major Wu looked at each other, unable to believe their own eyes. They had intended to play a trick on Ling Zhenfei, but instead, they had shot themselves in the foot.
"So, did I win or not? If you're not convinced, you can take a dagger and cut open your fish. Count how many fish you find."
Ling Zhenfei had already checked; the fish Major Wu caught were very clean inside, without any small fish, which is why he dared to say this.
Major Wu, indeed discontented, took a dagger and sliced all his fish open, but found their bellies very clean, totally devoid of anything, let alone fish.
"Can I leave now?" Ling Zhenfei asked Major Wu with a smile.
Major Wu did not speak; what else could he say at that moment?
Ling Zhenfei, not bothering with much else, walked over to where Yang Zixuan and Bai Ling were standing.
"Aren't you letting them go? What's the matter, don't you listen to your boss anymore?" Ling Zhenfei shouted at the people behind Yang Zixuan and Bai Ling.
Under the pressure of Northern Spiritual Energy emanating from Ling Zhenfei, the two people were frightened badly and quickly released Yang Zixuan and Bai Ling.
Bai Ling and Yang Zixuan almost simultaneously threw themselves into Ling Zhenfei's arms.
"Big Brother Ling, I'm sorry."
"I'm sorry, this is all my fault," Bai Ling said with a face full of guilt.
Ling Zhenfei hurriedly said, "This is not the place to apologize, we will talk about it when we get back."
As he spoke, he tried to leave with the two of them, but just then, he suddenly heard Major Wu speak from behind, "Kid, you're just going to walk away like that?"
Following Major Wu's words, the path of the trio, Ling Zhenfei, was blocked.
Ling Zhenfei's heart skipped a beat. Knowing Major Wu as someone who could renege on his word at any moment, Ling Zhenfei was extremely fearful and wanted to leave quickly, but who could have anticipated that Major Wu would regret it before they could even leave.
"What's the matter, Mr. Wu? Is there anything else you need?" Ling Zhenfei was very angry inside, but he still couldn't show it on his face.
"Ling Zhenfei, the antidote for Half Moon Powder, don't you plan to hand it over?" Major Wu said coldly, clearly still infuriated by the fishing competition incident.
Ling Zhenfei was slightly startled. So Major Wu still wanted the antidote and wasn't truly indifferent about Number Ten and the others. But could he hand over the antidote for the Half Moon Powder?
If Major Wu still cared about the lives of Number Ten and others, then as long as Ling Zhenfei had the antidote for Half Moon Powder in his hands, he still had a means to save himself. If he handed over the antidote now, he would have no leverage left.
"Oh, you're talking about the antidote for Half Moon Powder? Of course, I'd like to give it to Major Wu, but I can't right now. I don't have the antidote on me. How about I bring it to Major Wu tomorrow?"
Ling Zhenfei said with a grin, looking at Major Wu, feeling slightly uneasy inside, unsure of what the moody Major Wu would do next.
Both he and Major Wu were of Zhiyi Boundary strength. Although Major Wu was slightly stronger, they had just crossed fists. Ling Zhenfei had countered Major Wu using the Heaven-Splitting Ten Fists, and their strength was comparable.
Thus, Ling Zhenfei wasn't afraid of Major Wu. The complication now was with Yang Zixuan and Bai Ling present. Protecting himself was feasible, but protecting all three of them at the same time seemed unrealistic.
Major Wu's eyes sparkled as he intensely watched Ling Zhenfei, as if trying to see the answer he wanted in Ling Zhenfei's eyes, but Ling Zhenfei's gaze was as clear as water, revealing nothing at all.
"Fine, I'll wait for your antidote tomorrow," Major Wu said.
Ling Zhenfei nodded and smilingly said, "Major Wu is indeed straightforward. I truly don't want to cause trouble. Thank you, Major. I will definitely bring the antidote tomorrow."
After finishing speaking, Ling Zhenfei walked out with Yang Zixuan and Bai Ling.
Although he didn't look back as he walked away, Ling Zhenfei was completely focused, cautiously aware of anything that might happen behind him.
It wasn't until they reached the boundaries of Killer Building that Ling Zhenfei finally felt relieved.
"How did you two get here?" Ling Zhenfei asked Bai Ling after they were safe.
Bai Ling said somewhat embarrassedly, "We were just really curious about where you were going, so we followed you."
"You actually followed me? Well, I won't speak of that, but why did you have to venture in here?"
Yang Zixuan said apologetically, "Big Brother Ling, we were just curious to know what was inside."
Ling Zhenfei looked at Yang Zixuan and asked, "Zi Xuan, tell me the truth, did Bai Ling tell you something? If it were up to you, I can't imagine you doing such a thing."
