Chapter 630
The man's movements were gentle and slow, as if he was afraid of waking the person in his arms. He carefully laid the person flat on the ground, then slowly loosened his hands, as if it was an extremely precious treasure.
The man who had been lowered collapsed to the ground like a puppet without support, his body curled up lifelessly. His hands tightly grasped his neck, as if there was some fatal threat there. He gasped for breath, greedily inhaling every breath of fresh air as if it were his last chance of survival.
After a long while, he gradually recovered and the trembling in his body slowly subsided. He raised his head and looked at the man with eyes filled with fear and gratitude. His lips trembled slightly as he uttered a few words with difficulty: "Thank you, Master, for not killing me!"
The man's lips curled up slightly when he heard this, revealing a half-smile. He slowly turned half his body, his eyes fixed on the man, and said with a hint of sarcasm, "Ha! You're even more ruthless than those people."
The man flicked his finger, and a tall stone chair suddenly appeared behind him. The chair had a simple, elegant shape and smooth lines, clearly meticulously crafted. The man pointed at the chair behind him and said slowly, "Sit down and talk to me!"
Upon seeing this, the man's face showed joy. He quickly bowed and said with tears of gratitude: "Thank you for the reward, master! I will never forget such a great favor!" After that, he did not dare to be negligent in the slightest. He stood up quickly, walked to the chair with light and steady steps, and sat down gracefully like flowing water.
The man took in all this, his admiration growing stronger. He stared at the man and spoke slowly, "In this base, besides me, the most powerful people are Di Xin and Qin Fuguang. Since their return, many have defected and joined them, seemingly believing I've lost my ability to lead. However, you've chosen to come to me instead of joining them. Why is that?"
The man smiled faintly and replied calmly, "Master, in my humble opinion, they are not the ultimate victors. Everything they are experiencing now is merely a pre-victory celebration, or perhaps a false appearance before they fall into the abyss!"
The man was secretly delighted when he heard this. It was truly remarkable that this person could see through this. He raised his lips slightly and said in a slightly flattering tone, "Your idea coincides with mine!"
Then, the man changed the subject, looked puzzled, and asked: "But why have I never seen you in the base before? It's a pity that I haven't discovered such an outstanding person!" After saying that, he couldn't help but shook his head and sighed.
"In the past, it was because you, my master, were surrounded by so many talented people that it was difficult for someone like me who was only a little clever to be noticed by you." The man's words not only pointed out the fact that Pangu was surrounded by talented people in the past, but also cleverly highlighted Pangu's excellence through self-deprecation.
Upon hearing this, Pangu stood up, slowly walked behind the man, and gently patted his shoulder. He smiled and said, "It seems that their words really blocked my ears, causing me to almost miss out on a talent like Zhuge Liang. Fortunately, those people are gone now. Otherwise, if I had missed out on a talent like you, I would have regretted it for the rest of my life!"
The man quickly responded humbly: "I only have a little insignificant wisdom, how can it compare to your intelligence and talent, master!" His humble attitude made Pangu like him even more.
Pangu sat back in his seat, as if he suddenly remembered something, and asked, "I've been talking for so long, but I still don't know your name."
The man quickly stood up and answered respectfully: "My surname is Huang, and my given name is Zhong. This name means that I will always be loyal to you!" After that, Huang Zhong showed an elegant and easy-going look, looking at Pangu with a smile, his eyes revealing sincerity and awe.
