Apocalypse: The Supporting Actress Made a Comeback-Chapter 766 - 408 Betrayal_2
Chapter 766: 408 Betrayal_2
Who knew this person was actually a snake in the grass, lurking around them father and son! He had never been loyal to the Bai Family, always a man of Zhao Qiankun, and even took advantage of Bai Yi’s unawareness to launch a merciless sneak attack on him!
However, none of these mattered anymore. What Bai Yi cared about most and was terrified of at the moment was the superpower within his body! Since Chu Li had issues, then the Dr. Li he recommended must also have issues. Hence, how could the SEP-4 Dr. Li developed be without issues?
Bai Yi was furious and afraid, but more than fury, he was overwhelmed by intense fear. He desperately wanted to know what exactly the SEP-4 he had ingested was!
The more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong with his body. He struggled to raise his neck to look at Chu Li and asked him, "What exactly is SEP-4? What are the consequences of taking it? Tell me!" As he spoke, his eyes fiercely glared at Chu Li, his face filled with unwillingness, "No! You took it too, why are you fine?"
Dr. Li had brought out ten portions of SEP-4, one of which Bai Yi used, and the remaining nine were given to the trusted followers of the father and son within the White Wolf Mercenary Corps, including Chu Li. When Poison Wolf died, Chu Li was still at Level 2 Peak and hadn’t advanced to Level 3. Not long after Fang Yuxin and others left, he successfully advanced to Level 3. Yet, even so, advancing to Third-level Peak in just over three months was already quite terrifying.
He took SEP-4 back and the next day he became a Level 4 superpower user, so Bai Yi never doubted him. But now, Bai Yi discovered there was a problem with the medication, so why was Chu Li fine? Could it be that he never took it? That he advanced on his own ability?
How could that be possible!
Bai Yi had been stuck at Third-level Peak much longer than Chu Li, and he was always proud, considering himself a paragon, so naturally, he didn’t want to admit that Chu Li had better talent. Thus, he stubbornly believed that Chu Li couldn’t possibly have advanced to Level 4 on his own ability.
So, how did he do it? Or could it be that the SEP-4 itself was fine, and only the medicine given to him had been tampered with?
No! Not right! Those medicines were clearly handled by him before being distributed. He had checked, there were absolutely no special marks on them, Chu Li could not possibly distinguish which ones had problems and which did not! Moreover, since Dr. Li had entered the research institute, Chu Li should have had no contact with him!
Bai Yi couldn’t figure it out and could only look at Chu Li painfully, hoping for an answer.
Chu Li smiled very composedly, standing straight in front of Bai Yi, looking down on him as if Bai Yi was just an ant under his feet. He met Bai Yi’s angry gaze, which almost spat fire, and said with a smile, "The reason is simple, the SEP-4 in your hands is fake, while the one I ingested is real. Also, aren’t you at all curious why Commander Bai, such a cautious person, allowed you to use the medicine?"
Bai Yi thought of something, his already pale face instantly turning ghastly white, he looked at Chu Li in disbelief, "What...what do you mean by that?" His gaze flickered, his face full of panic and insecurity.
Chu Li’s voice was somewhat cold, not intentionally so, but his voice naturally had this effect, and even when his tone was gentle, his voice still gave a chilling sensation. Bai Yi used to find Chu Li’s voice quite special, but now he loathed its uniqueness!
Chu Li looked at Bai Yi, who was lying on the ground, with pity, as if looking at a pitiful stray dog, and said gently, "Haven’t you guessed already? Why bother asking?"
Bai Yi clenched his fists fiercely, anger surged as he suddenly sprang from the ground and charged at Chu Li. Chu Li looked scholarly and rather frail, seemingly a weak intellectual.
But Bai Yi was different, having trained in the military since young, he was tall and robust, with smooth and aesthetically pleasing muscle lines, looking much more imposing compared to Chu Li. His usual self-esteem was not without reason, for he was truly outstanding. Even among the elite youths of Beishi City, he stood out.
Of course, this excellence paled in comparison to Bai Ye. Hence, from childhood to adulthood, Bai Yi always regarded Bai Ye as a thorn in his side, never really giving much respect to others. The fact that Chu Li appeared weaker was also why Bai Yi appreciated him. If he had been as excellent as Bai Ye, Bai Yi definitely wouldn’t be able to treat him ordinarily.
Bai Yi had always felt that although Chu Li was outstanding, he was far from comparing to himself, thus he had always been assured about him. But now, as he charged at Chu Li driven by impetuosity, his iron fists didn’t even reach Chu Li’s face before they were struck back by a tremendous force, sending him flying back!
He fell on sharp stones, continuously coughing and spitting blood, his pale face showing an abnormal bluish-grey tint. However, his eyes fiercely glared at Chu Li, filled with venomous resentment, "You...you actually..."
Chu Li looked at him, still smiling gently as if nothing had just happened, as if the injuries on Bai Yi had nothing to do with him. He even looked at Bai Yi with pity, "You don’t need to exhaust yourself, the people now simply can’t match me." (To be continued.
