Xu Wuyan had been gambling all along. He lay quietly in the cramped room, staring at the various instruments connected to his body. Coming here this time, he was not only betting on Old Ghost as a person, but also on his own value.
He was no stranger to the unpredictability of human nature, yet a development he could never have foreseen had occurred: the mutation caused by that pill made him realize he needed external help to resolve the situation. That was why he had finally shown his cards to Old Ghost. Although he had never met the man in person, their interactions over the years suggested that the old man was a person of integrity. He hoped to leverage the power behind Old Ghost, and he also wanted to use this opportunity to see what kind of entity the Postman Organization truly was.
He had even anticipated that the way he overcame the side effects would demonstrate significant value to the Postman Organization, ensuring they would do everything in their power to keep him alive. Value—that was his stake. Yet, he still had not expected to find a dagger inside his own heart.
