All these people were no longer interested in whoever was approaching them.

In fact, they all looked numb. These people were not only the playthings of Yang Jiao and Yang Jiu, but Yang Jiao even sent them out to be used by other rich people. Some people had left this underground dungeon and never returned.

Some of them were homeless people who were abducted from the streets by the Yang family’s staff while some were drugged and captured. There were even men from wealthy families who had been tricked into coming here, and some were even sold here by their families.

Xia Zhe frowned slightly and looked at these people disconsolately. He did not know the kind of lives they could lead after they were rescued. There was nothing more which he could do for them.

He did not stay in this spot for long and went straight to the deepest part of the dungeon to rescue the guests. Jack was already standing at the door, waiting for his arrival.

“It’s amazing that you’re still alive. Yang Jiao actually lost to a new kid on the

block. Looks like the winds in Sky City and East City are about to change direction,” Jack said with a laugh.

“It’s also not bad that you can stay awake. You don’t have to flatter me,” Xia Zhe praised.

“Did you bring the antidote?” Jack asked.

“Yes, but I don’t intend to give it to them now,” Xia Zhe said.

Jack looked at Xia Zhe hesitantly and asked, “What… what do you mean? Don’t tell me you want to take over the Yang family’s position in East City and Sky City and kill us here and now?”

“Me? Even if I want to replace them, I won’t use such despicable methods. It’s just that if we wake them up now, the situation will become chaotic and it’s going to be hard for us to explain ourselves,” Xia Zhe said.

“Us? What does any of this have to do with me? I’m also a victim. Even if they have any suspicions, it won’t fall on me. In that case, what does Mr. Fang plan to do?” Jack asked curiously.

“My darling has already informed your subordinates and asked them to come over. They’ll probably be here in a while. When the time comes, you can get your subordinates to send these people back. Then, you can say that you’re the one who saved them. What do you think? I believe these people will give you a generous reward in the end,” Xia Zhe asked with a smile.

Xia Zhe wanted to divert the attention of these people and make them think that Jack was the one who saved all of them. He wanted Jack to be the “great hero” of Sky City.

“What if I don’t agree?” Jack asked with narrowed eyes.

“That works too. Then I can assure you that Miss Bella will only find your corpse. I can just tell her that it’s Yang Jiao who killed you. Yang Jiao is right upstairs. Make a guess if Miss Bella will kill Yang Jiao to vent her anger?”

“Miss Bella is only coming here because my darling called her, so Miss Bella won’t suspect me at all. Mr. Jack should know very well who will benefit from it all,” Xia Zhe said calmly.

After hearing what Xia Zhe said, Jack snorted coldly. When he first met Xia Zhe, he already felt that this man was not as simple as he looked and that there must be an even more intertwined force behind him, one that he could not fight against. This was also the reason why Jack and Bella had always avoided Xia Zhe.

“As expected of Mr. Fang. After all, you’ve become one of the top 10 richest businessmen in Country M in less than a year. In that case, I’ll accept this gift from you,” Jack said.

As Xia Zhe had said, Bella arrived at the Yang family’s villa with a big team. The moment she entered, she had the same reaction as Qiao Mei and was really shocked. However, she was a professional killer herself and was familiar with such situations. Soon, she made her way to the basement. “Jack!” Bella shouted agitatedly.

“I’m here,” Jack responded.

Bella rushed in front of Jack and hit him hard on the chest with her elbow. She said disdainfully, “How can you fall for the Yang family’s trick? If not for Miss Pu calling to inform me, I don’t know if you will be able to make it back alive!”

“l… Cough, cough, cough… This is all part of my plan. What do you know!” Jack said stubbornly.

Bella turned around and looked at Xia Zhe coldly, saying, “Where’s Miss Pu? Where did you send her?”

“She’s very safe upstairs. My secretary and bodyguards are with her,” Xia Zhe said.

“Well, you’d better be nice to her. If I find out that you have other women, or that you’re not faithful to her, I will kill you,” Bella said earnestly..
