Armed Train in the Apocalypse-Chapter 410 - 269: Wilderness, Jackals, Nobility

This timing was certainly no coincidence.

Su Huan’s shot indeed struck a good blow of deterrence, so Mr. Shu didn’t make an appearance immediately.

Letting the young people of Black Kite contact Su Huan first, whether conflict arises or they ignore each other, would temper Su Huan’s momentum.

Waiting for an appropriate moment to step forward and say something from an elder’s perspective, this approach steadily suppresses Su Huan’s arrogance.

Regardless of whether Su Huan got angry or silently accepted the loss, the previously accrued momentum would be deflated here.

Thinking of this, Mr. Shu couldn’t help but hum softly twice in his heart.

He wore a reserved smile on his face, his eyes deeply fixed on Su Huan below.

Curious to see how this young man would react.

Though Su Huan couldn’t use "Generalized Perception" extensively, at such close range, he could still discern that Mr. Shu was just an ordinary person.

He carried a certain smooth and steady bureaucratic aura, though age had caught up with him, leaving a dreariness that made him instantly unlikable.

He casually glanced and his gaze fell on Wang Yi beside him.

Finally understanding who Shu Wei inherited those sharp eyes from.

Yu Jing and Yu Yue were most alike in the eyes, provided Yu Yue picked up a sniper rifle or got serious.

While Shu Wei and Wang Yi, this mother and daughter pair, were most similar in bone structure.

Both had steep, sharp eyebrows, and high, straight noses, almost as if carved from the same mold.

However, Wang Yi bore a touch more of the lushness that comes from living a life of luxury than Shu Wei, which added a sense of nobility and was not as aggressively imposing as Shu Wei.

But when standing from a height, the arrogance in her bone structure gradually became prominent.

To put it more straightforwardly.

Beautiful, but not with a good nature.

While Su Huan was examining her, Wang Yi was also sizing up this bastard who had captured her daughter’s heart, and although they had met indirectly through abilities, when she saw Su Huan in person, a hint of amazement flashed in her eyes.

This amazement was the highest praise for evolution.

But his character was somewhat malicious.

Combining the information she had about Su Huan, Wang Yi couldn’t help but feel a bit of contempt.

Though his evolutionary ability was good, his character was too poor, and in this changing era, he wouldn’t get far; evolution isn’t just about speed, but also about force, resources, and character. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Except for this body, everything else about Su Huan was the lowest in her mind.

Winning against the Steel Council with the armored train was nothing more than scooping chestnuts out of the fire.

Whether it was the Steel Council or Black Kite, they had countless chances to start over, but the armored train had none. They had no right to lose, and such a force was but a floating duckweed, hard to rely on.

Yet, thinking about her daughter being tasted by this playboy, Wang Yi looked at Su Huan with growing annoyance.

Not that she was being presumptuous, but she knew how attractive her daughter, who looked just like her, was to men.

No man would pass up meat that fell into their mouth.

Wang Yi glanced at her daughter beside her, who kept her head lowered submissively, thinking of asking her daughter’s thoughts later. If she nodded, after dismantling the armored train, they might leave this bastard alive, let him steadfastly stay by her daughter’s side. With his evolutionary potential, he was quite sufficient to protect her daughter.

If her daughter was unwilling, finish him off and feed him to the fish!

...

Watching Su Huan fall into thought while staring at his ex-wife, Mr. Shu felt slightly uncomfortable.

But he maintained the demeanor of an elder, "Since I invited you in my name, this isn’t a formal negotiation, no need to be so tense."

Shu Wei tugged at the corner of his mouth.

Tense?

Was it the kind of nervousness felt when forced to dig pits during the onset of a flash flood, or when leading a million zombies to massacre a city?

That kind of frenzied smile was clearly enjoying it, wasn’t it?

As for now...

Shu Wei sneaked a glance at the conductor, the latter’s brows were furrowed, eyes slightly distant, as if pondering some deep problem.

Out of nowhere, a sense of unease surged within, heart stuck in her throat.

Su Huan wasn’t conscious of the implicit suppression, currently reminiscing about his limited social experiences.

’If the other person is an elder, politely initiating a greeting with you...’

’Don’t be sarcastic’

’Don’t be passive-aggressive’

’Tone should be calm’

’Expression should be sincere’

’Compliment others’

’...’

He pondered his words, after a moment, as if finding a perfect response, he solemnly said to the two, "Your wife is really beautiful."

As the clear and magnetic voice echoed in the hall, even the bubbles in the champagne seemed to freeze.

Tan Yunxi slightly parted his lips, his uninterrupted cursing in his mind also paused, unable to recall the next line no matter what.

Bao Qingqing looked at Su Huan with a gaze as if she’d seen a ghost.

Originally a bit contemptuous, now she’d completely put down her hostility, in a place heavily guarded by Black Kite, to so bluntly tease the ex-wife of the Number Three Director!

Where exactly did Shu Wei find this lunatic?

There were quite a few with the same thoughts as Bao Qingqing.

The Number Three Director, this title wasn’t for play; he was the true power holder of Black Kite!

Though counting everything, Black Kite only had just over ten thousand people, yet with Black Kite’s currently highly concentrated talent and various resources, it was enough to wage a war against a small pre-apocalyptic country for its destruction!

And the Number Three Director was the third-in-command of this "organization," currently acting as the temporary leader!

This was also why so many people abandoned comfortable and safe lives to come to the border of the Flood Zone to attend this salon.
