Chapter 396 - 151: King of Mercenaries
The mercenaries who drank the Soul Water all had worried expressions, and Bai Baiwan’s face was even paler.
They had been promised a great increase in strength, but they hadn’t expected the cost to be so high.
"I knew it... I knew it..." Not many who became Third Transition mercenaries were fools; there was no such thing as a free lunch, a sentiment deeply engraved in their hearts. Although Bai Baiwan didn’t know how much the cost of enhanced strength would be, he figured it would be within an acceptable range, considering his past dealings with a vile substance that could control life and death with just a sip.
"Baiwan!" Hu Fo said sharply, pulling back Bai Baiwan who was on the verge of madness.
"Hu Fo... what should I do? What should I do?" Bai Baiwan was hysterical, letting out a roar.
"Ah!" Luo Bolun sighed, then said, "There’s always a way. Now that Fang Tianhao is dead, we’re temporarily safe. The urgent task is to find a solution."
As Luo Bolun spoke, his gaze locked onto Lu Hong, and the people around seemed to think of something and also stared intently at Lu Hong.
Since he recognized the Soul Water, he should naturally know the method to counter it.
"Why are you all looking at me?" Lu Hong reluctantly shook his head, "Recognizing Soul Water is one thing, deciphering it is another."
"But you didn’t say it was impossible," Bai Baiwan’s eyes sparked with hope. After all, who would want to be controlled?
