576: Chapter 565: Miss Xu, I Haven’t Neglected You, Have I?
In the Gene Laboratory of the Fang Guild, under Apollo’s command, Xu Ruolan was brought here, and beside her, a female expert watched on.
“Miss Xu, I haven’t neglected you, have I?”
Apollo looked at Xu Ruolan with an apologetic expression, but she was far from receptive and instead glared back at him with anger.
Xu Ruolan’s bright eyes brimmed with numerous flames of anger, as Ning Fan’s situation had caused her to harbor significant resentment towards Apollo.
Apart from anger, Xu Ruolan’s predominant feeling was concern for Ning Fan.
Just a few hours ago, she had personally witnessed Ning Fan’s Pipa Bone being pierced, and it was the first time she had seen such excruciating pain, and Ning Fan’s enduring expression didn’t seem feigned.
“You should know why I asked you to come here.” Apollo’s gaze gradually turned cold, and his tone carried a hint of threat.
The main reason Apollo had captured Xu Ruolan was not only to threaten Ning Fan, but also to coerce Xu Ruolan into helping the Fang Guild develop the Genetic Potion,
Regarding the research of Genetic Potion, the Fang Guild had never ceased its efforts, but they had always been stuck outside the door of success, unable to successfully develop the potion.
Xu Ruolan was also aware that Apollo had captured her not just to threaten Ning Fan, but more importantly for the Genetic Potion.
In this laboratory, Xu Ruolan glanced around and saw many familiar items.
“You’re deluding yourself!” Xu Ruolan uncompromisingly refused, considering what he had just done to Ning Fan, how could she possibly agree to help him?
Apollo did not get annoyed but simply smiled faintly and then shook his head, reminding her, “Miss Xu, have you forgotten?
Asura is still in my hands.
If you don’t help me, I can’t guarantee Asura’s life.
You wouldn’t want Asura to die because of you, right?
I hope you will reconsider your answer seriously.”
Upon hearing Apollo’s words, Xu Ruolan’s expression turned very grim, and she suddenly fell silent.
Now in Apollo’s hands, Ning Fan had also been captured, and she basically had no other choice but to help him.
Apollo used Ning Fan to threaten Xu Ruolan, knowing exactly how to strike at her weak spot, as Ning Fan and Xu Ruolan were important to each other.
“…I will help you develop the Genetic Potion, but you must ensure Ning Fan’s safety!”
Xu Ruolan gritted her teeth and replied deliberately, pausing between words, as she could only agree in the interest of Ning Fan’s safety.
Seeing that she had finally agreed, a smile returned to Apollo’s face.
“Isn’t that better?
It is good for both of us.
Rest assured, as long as you obediently help me develop the Genetic Potion, Ning Fan will be absolutely fine…”
A mysterious smirk flickered in Apollo’s eyes, as if everything was under his control.
…
That night, in the underground base of the Fang Guild, in the eastern part of the replicated Roman Coliseum on top of a large raised platform with a spectator area above, Apollo had arranged a dinner party.
Beneath this Coliseum there was a large mound surrounded by steel fences, with one large door on each of the north, south, east, and west sides.
In the spectator seats above, Ning Fan was brought out with a hook embedded in his back.
He appeared extremely weak as he was forced into his seat, his body covered in blood and dirt.
Xu Ruolan was right beside Apollo, and seeing Ning Fan in such a tragic state, she disregarded the threats from Apollo beside her and rushed over to embrace Ning Fan, continuously crying out, “Ning Fan…
Ning Fan!”
Ning Fan raised his eyes and managed a stiff smile.
He looked at Xu Ruolan and shook his head slowly, saying, “Don’t worry, I am okay…”
Hearing him say this, Xu Ruolan was almost about to cry.
How could Ning Fan claim he was okay, looking like this!
Apollo, who had been watching for a long time, laughed.
He clapped his hands and said to Xu Ruolan and Ning Fan, “Both of you, please take your seats.
It’s time for dinner.”
Xu Ruolan understood that Apollo was warning her not to do anything unnecessary.
Reluctantly stepping back, she still sat next to Ning Fan.
Apollo did not deliberately make it difficult for them at dinner.
Instead, he seemed to enjoy the delicious food, eagerly accepting every dish on the lavish table, meanwhile, across from him, Ning Fan and Xu Ruolan ate as if they were chewing wax.
Dinner was halfway through when Apollo suddenly seemed to remember something.
He abruptly looked up and said to them, “Oh, I almost forgot, I have prepared a show for you, and I hope you will enjoy it!”
Saying this, Apollo rang a bell on the table.
Four iron cages appeared in the coliseum, and from the gates in the east, west, north, and south of the coliseum, a roar of beasts echoed.
Ning Fan struggled to breathe.
Looking at the four iron cages, each containing one of the Wind Thunder Lightning crew, his expression gradually worsened, and a fierce rage ignited in his eyes.
The Wind Thunder Lightning crew inside the cages had grim expressions.
They seemed to have realized what Apollo was preparing to do.
At the next moment, one of them was released, walking out with clenched fists.
The gate to the southern part of the coliseum opened, and a wolf with blue fur, red eyes, and as tall as a man came snarling and drooling out.
This was a genetically mutated wolf, a product of the research done by the Fang Guild over the years.
“Apollo!!!”
Knowing what was about to happen, Ning Fan screamed in rage.
In the coliseum below, the Wind Thunder Lightning trio also roared.
“What exactly do you want?!”
Their voices echoed in the coliseum, and Apollo laughed delightedly.
He looked at Ning Fan’s angry expression and said cheerfully, “As I said, this is a little show.
See that wolf?
It’s one of the products our headquarters has developed over the years, and it has been starved for several days.
Today, it’s just the right time to let it out for a real fight.”
The blue wolf looked fierce, unlike a typical wild beast, and very dangerous.
It had been starving for days and now that it was finally released, its gaze toward them was like that of a predator eyeing its prey.
Facing the blue wolf, she felt the pressure mounting and before she could even make a move, the wolf could no longer contain its impatience and charged toward her.
Seeing this, Ning Fan and the three in the cage’s expressions darkened, and they looked at her with a touch of concern in their eyes.
“Alright, the show has started.
Please enjoy it!”
Apollo’s irritating laughter rang out again, increasing Ning Fan’s murderous intent toward him.
