Stronger from Earth-Chapter 135: Are the Pawns Black or White

Clearly, these three burly men had long been hiding in other rooms, waiting for Wang Xuan to be drugged, then slaughtered.

As for the old woman, she was someone who used Wang Xuan's kindness, coaxing sympathy and then pulling him into the residence.

Her primary executor played a far more important role than those three men. Her superb acting skills were truly outstanding, easily deceiving others.

"Mom, your acting is really good, doing this kind of thing is quite underutilizing your talents, it's a waste," said the eldest son.

"Indeed, don't look at those film kings and queens winning awards, in comparison to mom, they aren't even fit to polish shoes. Mom conned dozens of people, when has she ever failed?" the second son laughed.

"If we stepped in, it would only raise alarms. Not like mom, who appears old and weak, needing help, effortlessly gaining others' sympathy!" the third son laughed heartily.

The old woman nodded with a grin: "My sons are right, the whole world owes me a film queen award. Alas, I'm old now. Otherwise, entering the film industry would definitely make me an overnight sensation."

They were indifferent to Wang Xuan; would he even be able to move after drinking the drug-laced tea that could knock out even a fierce beast?

This time's prey is merely an easy catch.

Wang Xuan sat there, watching these four's clumsy performance; no matter how meticulous the planning or perfect the acting, they couldn't deceive his heart.

With his strong spirit, if he couldn't even discern a person's attitude of good or evil towards him, his Spiritual Cultivation would be truly wasted.

Several hundred meters away on the street, three people sat in a car, watching the video feed of Wang Xuan and the others, seemingly monitoring them.

A crew-cut man, looking indifferent, spoke: "This time we have them take action, will they succeed? I see it as unlikely."

"There's hope. The drug we gave to the old lady is not as usual, but is a potent poison capable of easily killing someone at the Innate Realm," replied another person in the car with shoulder-length short hair, somewhat feminine in appearance, but having a man's voice.

The person monitoring shook his head: "It won't be so easy. This move is just a probe; succeeding would be great, but even if it fails, we can gauge the opponent's strength."

"Probe? This old lady and her sons have been faithful believers I groomed, recently capturing at least thirty experimental subjects for us. If they were lost, it would be a waste," the indifferent man snorted.

"But this man single-handedly uprooted a branch of our Truth Sect, causing near a thousand followers to be detained. If it weren't for our insider in the police station, how else would we know his whereabouts? No matter Wang Xuan's strength or identity, for offending our sect, he must die!" the effeminate man snorted coldly.

Bang!

Suddenly, the video images in front of them disappeared, evidently, the surveillance equipment had been destroyed, unable to transmit images anymore.

In the room, Wang Xuan effortlessly crushed a teacup, and several fragments shot out, directly hitting the small object he'd discovered — a surveillance cockroach.

Wang Xuan's sudden action startled the old woman and her three sons: "How can you still move? Impossible!"

After all, Wang Xuan had seemingly drunk the drug-laced tea just now.

"Are you talking about this?" Wang Xuan spat out, a large droplet of water, surrounded by True Qi, coalesced and didn't scatter, dropping to the ground after flying out.

If he knew there was a trap and didn't guard against it, that would be truly overconfident — a grave mistake when venturing out.

"You tricked us, I'll beat you to death!"

The eldest son, with a sturdy build and over 1.8 meters tall, full of muscles.

As a believer of the Truth Sect who had obtained the Evolutionary Secrets, he could lift a one-ton boulder, evolving from an ordinary person to a master.

With newfound strength, he believed himself to be overwhelmingly powerful and invincible.

Confident in his prowess, he charged at Wang Xuan with bare fists.

"Eldest brother, come back quickly, he's very dan—"

Bam!

Wang Xuan kicked out, sending the eldest brother flying, crashing him hard against the wall, blood spitting from his mouth.

The old woman's words hadn't finished when she saw her eldest son severely injured, she screamed and rushed to hold him.

She glared at Wang Xuan viciously, cursing: "You bastard! Daring to hit my son, are you even human? Do you have any humanity? You'll face retribution! I curse you to die horribly!"

"Die horribly?"

Wang Xuan laughed; compared to himself, weren't they the ones more deserving of death? Now acting as victims, as if they were justified.

He stepped forward, stamping on the old woman's knee, exerting Suppressing Force, instantly shattering the bones, causing her to shriek horribly.

"Compared to your sons, people like you are even more disgusting, exploiting others' kindness while harming them. Calling you scum is a compliment!"

Wang Xuan showed no sympathy for this old woman.

"Dare to hit my mom, I'll take your life!"

The second and third sons charged forward. Wang Xuan turned around, a gleam flashed in his eyes, their movements suddenly stilled.

"You two, why not give your big brother a massage? He looks exhausted, too tired to move," Wang Xuan sneered.

The two nodded, walking towards their eldest brother, their faces turning ferocious, fists and feet mercilessly striking their big brother.

Seeing this, the old woman screamed again: "Second and third sons, you two bastards, how can you hit your big brother, have your brains gone mad?!"

She clung to the second son's leg but was kicked away, falling face down, hitting her head and drawing blood.

…

Minutes later, Wang Xuan walked out the door, completely unconcerned with the mess inside the house.

"He left?" The three releasing the surveillance device in the car saw this scene; their plan obviously failed.

"Not sure if the old woman and her sons died; if they did, there'd be some value. Maneuvering can still get this kid into jail might have a chance. What?!"

He had just spoken when he saw the old woman and her three sons helping each other out the door, looking quite miserable.

Yet apart from injuries, no one died!

"Kill them? It's not that simple, moreover these four still have their uses."

Wang Xuan walked away laughing coldly, daring to plot against him, truly underestimating him.

"Cut the weeds, remove the roots, can't be soft-hearted," Wang Xuan shook his head.

Since Su Qiubai had safely returned home, he felt reassured, notifying Xiaowei to best inform the Universal Relief Bodhisattva.

As it concerned safety, if Truth Sect traced them down and got desperate, things would become problematic.

"The bait has been cast, we'll see if there'll be any yield, hoping you're ready, to welcome my arrival."

Wang Xuan's heart was as cold as frost; daring to plot against him must prepare to face retaliation.
