I Received Messages From Future Self!-Chapter 649 - 645 Earth Dragon
In the surveillance room, Jiang Chen was so furious his eyes were bulging, filled with bloodshot veins.
Watching Fang Xiaocao actually control the Experimental Body, he suddenly felt like he was biting his own foot.
"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
"This must be an illusion, yes, just an illusion."
Listening to Jiang Chen’s muttering, Earth Dragon nearly burst into tears.
Today, he’s still going to get beaten.
Whether he survives is still unknown.
Before dying, he still has to take another beating.
Is there no justice left?
"Earth Dragon!"
Jiang Chen suddenly shouted.
Earth Dragon shivered all over with fright.
Almost wet his pants directly, fortunately, he already did once due to previous scares.
This time, he truly was out of stock.
"Bo-Bo-Boss."
Earth Dragon responded weakly, looking like a frightened little captured creature.
"Tell me, is this an illusion?"
Jiang Chen pointed at the surveillance screen, sternly demanding.
Hearing Jiang Chen’s question, Earth Dragon glanced at the surveillance screen.
Then sneaked a look at the furious Jiang Chen, opened his mouth but didn’t dare make a sound.
He didn’t know how to answer Jiang Chen to minimize his own harm.
After all, Jiang Chen is a bona fide Super Master, and getting hit by him hurts terribly.
Even with his top-tier strength, he couldn’t withstand the damage even if Jiang Chen doesn’t go full-force.
"Speak quickly!"
Seeing Earth Dragon remain silent, Jiang Chen roared.
Earth Dragon grimaced, more ugly than crying: "It’s real!"
Earth Dragon knew he couldn’t escape today.
Getting stabbed whether he faces it or runs.
Dead early or late, either way dead, Earth Dragon decided to give Jiang Chen some nuisance.
Maybe with some luck, he could infuriate him to death and avoid the beating.
The wish was beautiful, but reality was cruel.
As soon as Earth Dragon’s words fell, Jiang Chen’s foot had already kicked over.
A size 45 foot flew directly towards Earth Dragon’s face.
After intimately contacting the foot, Earth Dragon’s sturdy body flew like a ball.
Falling to the ground, he rolled three times in the surveillance room before barely stopping.
When Earth Dragon raised his head again, a shoe print was clearly swollen on his face.
Two lines of nosebleed hung beside his mouth.
The look was both funny and bleak, like a clown out of an anime.
"Boss, you need to face reality!"
"Blacklist is finished, yet you’re still stubborn."
After the beating, Earth Dragon wasn’t afraid anymore.
Shouting at Jiang Chen at the top of his lungs.
Hoping to wake the always arrogant Jiang Chen.
Despite Earth Dragon’s grievances against Jiang Chen, he was also deeply grateful.
If not for Jiang Chen’s taking him in, with his unappealing appearance.
No boss would probably take him under their wing.
Without a boss, Blacklist official members either go to the laboratory or be put in the combat group.
Other positions are filled by talents meticulously trained by the Blacklist from a young age.
Unless you’re extraordinarily outstanding in some aspect, you won’t be assigned a corresponding position.
The fate in the laboratory is unspeakable.
Those mad researchers, when lacking experimental subjects, often replace them with guards or irrelevant staff.
Look at those Experimental Bodies, more than half used to be staff in the laboratory.
The ones that survived the experiments include so many former staff.
So being assigned to work in the laboratory is a very high-risk job.
If unlucky, you might just be transferred into the lab today.
And happen to have no experimental subject—
The real appointment comes with compensation, not a second delayed.
And the combat group, as the name suggests, is the combat squads.
Those who frequently pursued Fang Xiaocao belong to the combat group.
The Gemini-led Twelve Zodiac Signs squad was also part of the combat group.
Just higher grade, with higher status.
Previously, Earth Dragon preferred to join the combat group, despite the frequent missions.
But at least having top-tier strength, the death probability wasn’t large.
But ever since Fang Xiaocao appeared, the combat group’s mission death rate soared.
Frequently, news comes of a combat squad being wiped out.
Since then, the combat group replaced the laboratory as the Blacklist’s most dangerous profession.
So Earth Dragon was somewhat grateful to Jiang Chen for taking him in.
Though getting beaten daily, at least it’s not life-threatening.
Being Jiang Chen’s little sidekick in the Blacklist, he enjoyed high status and benefits.
Even higher than the former branch manager Vermilion Bird and Taotie.
Though the orders he gave weren’t necessarily obeyed by Vermilion Bird and Taotie.
But he possessed the power to bypass them and directly command their subordinates.
Hearing Earth Dragon’s shout, Jiang Chen was enraged.
The whole person like an angry lion, shrouded in a terrifying aura of dread.
Gulp—
Seeing Jiang Chen’s visage, Earth Dragon swallowed hard.
The courage just stirred up to shout sense into Jiang Chen instantly vanished.
"You!"
Jiang Chen drew his war blade, raising it high.
Seeing Jiang Chen’s blade glinting coldly, Earth Dragon gave a bitter smile.
Silently closing his eyes, awaiting the blade’s descent.
Clang—
The blade didn’t fall, instead, the sound of sheathing echoed.
Earth Dragon opened his eyes in confusion, looking at Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen took out a card from his chest, throwing it at Earth Dragon: "There’s ten million in the card, spend it wisely and it can last a lifetime."
"Leave!"
"Blacklist owes you no favors, no need to perish with it."
"Take the money, leave Jianghu, and avoid its troubles."
"Your nature doesn’t suit the Jianghu."
Jiang Chen, with his back to Earth Dragon, softly advised with an unprecedentedly gentle tone.
"Boss—"
Earth Dragon held the bank card, tears in his eyes.
"Go!"
Jiang Chen said coldly.
"Boss, take care, if this time you—"
"I’ll erect a monument and honor you on holidays."
Earth Dragon bowed deeply to Jiang Chen, and turned to run out of the surveillance room.
He didn’t urge Jiang Chen to leave with him.
Because Earth Dragon knew, Jiang Chen would never abandon Blacklist.
Jiang Chen would share Blacklist’s fate.
For Blacklist had once favored Jiang Chen.
Since young, Jiang Chen was raised by Blacklist, his parents were buried by them as well.
Jiang Chen always remembered the gratitude owed.
Earth Dragon kept the bank card closely, changed out of the Blacklist uniform.
Stepped into an escape route known only to Blacklist seniors.
Walking through the passage, Earth Dragon’s heart was mixed with emotions.
Seeing scattered belongings in the passage, Earth Dragon realized some seniors had fled.
