Chapter 473: Chapter 286: Ghost Bell’s Interrogation, Powerful Ally
"No, I will not establish my chance for revenge at the risk of my son’s life!"
"But the fact is you were overwhelmed by emotions, like a frenzied bull, charging in front of Rainbow Wings’ people, and then you were beaten half to death." Black Cocoon said, "If I hadn’t saved you, you wouldn’t even have the chance to be angry now, you could only quietly watch your son step by step towards hell from the sky."
"If I don’t kill them, my son will fall into the trap!"
"No, no, let me tell you: actually, after listening to Mu Long’s accusations, your son was already planning to wash his hands clean, giving up the idea of joining Rainbow Wings, and would live well with his family from then on."
Lin Yilong clenched his fist, took a deep breath, but ultimately didn’t speak.
Gu Zhuo Case was stunned.
He recalled intermittently as he spoke, "No... he clearly told me that day, said... he wanted to join Rainbow Wings."
"That was just angry words, like a kid yelling when arguing with parents, threatening to not eat from today, with no real meaning." Black Cocoon said irately, "The fact is: he had already given up, but you fueled him."
"You are lying..."
Black Cocoon sighed, "After hearing about your ’death,’ he was heartbroken. That night he lit the birthday cake, waiting for you to return, yet he saw your news on TV. Imagine how hopeless he felt at that time?"
"I..."
"You?" Black Cocoon said, "Your immediate task is to first admit you were wrong, rather than blaming others."
"If it weren’t for you... my son would not have joined Rainbow Wings, you were the one who lured him from behind."
"I admit it! I did use you to achieve my goals; but honorable men evaluate actions not intentions, if it weren’t for me, your family would have died countless times." Black Cocoon questioned, "So isn’t it fair for me to ask a little reward from you? I’m not a saint, I have my own targets."
"Reward?" Gu Zhuo Case said in a dark voice, "The reward you want is to let my son enter the most dangerous place for him? If Rainbow Wings people find out his motives, he could die at any time! That’s against eleven Catastrophe Level beings, what’s he going to use against them?"
He paused, "You’re a lunatic... a lunatic playing with others’ lives."
Black Cocoon calmly said, "I know it’s hard for you to calm down right now, but venting your anger on me won’t accomplish anything, nor will it help you grow, this forty-something year old giant baby. It’s time you faced reality, Mr. Ghost Bell."
He lowered his voice, "Haven’t you realized it yet? Every irrational move you make demands huge costs for those around you, hurting those who love you... frenzy only leads to destruction; a reckless person can’t achieve big things.
"Look at your son, because of your mistake he stepped into hell with one foot, if you continue to be impulsive, not only he, everyone around you will be dragged down by you, happily flying off to heaven together."
Gu Zhuo Case hung his head silently, his tight jaw slightly twitching.
Finally, it was Lin Yilong who broke the silence among the three.
He spoke indifferently, "I think what he said is true. Since your son is already in Rainbow Wings, no amount of rage will help, it’d be better to think about the next step with us."
"Tell me, what do you want me to do?"
"I’ve already identified the four spies Salvation Society planted in Rainbow Wings, the next step is to wait for Mr. Blue Arc’s news." Black Cocoon said, "He will be responsible for finding the person who killed your wife, and about ten days later, we will decide the victory or defeat with these people on an island near Japan."
"An island near Japan?" Lin Yilong asked on behalf of Gu Zhuo Case.
"Yes, Rainbow Wings’ twelve members will likely go all out and head to that island, aiming to combat the world’s most dangerous magical creature - the Light-Eating Bee."
Black Cocoon paused for a moment, then slowly said, "By then Rainbow Wings will fight the powerful Bee Race for three hundred rounds, and we can profit as fishermen, seizing their weakest moment to capture Salvation Society’s spies and chop up the bastard who killed your wife to feed pigs."
"Specific location, and time?" Gu Zhuo Case gripped his phone, almost asking word by word.
"Not confirmed yet." Black Cocoon said matter-of-factly.
"Not confirmed yet?"
"That’s right, but the result will come in a few days. Mr. Blue Arc and I are working hard for it. So please don’t cause trouble for us, I need you to continue to be patient, and temporarily hide the fact that you are still alive from the outside world."
At this, Black Cocoon sighed, "Otherwise, if Rainbow Wings’ people knew Ghost Bell is Mr. Blue Arc’s father and you are still alive, what would happen next?"
Gu Zhuo Case was about to crush his phone. He took a deep breath, finally calming his restless heart, then slowly spoke:
"I promise you... watch my son, don’t let him mess around."
"Of course, your family tends to act recklessly, but I can always clean up the mess for you. Trust my capabilities, Mr. Ghost Bell."
Gu Zhuo Case was silent for a while, "Also, tell him for me... say I am coming soon to help him, let him hold on."
"Alright, I will certainly convey that to him. Mr. Ghost Bell, it’s great that you understand."
Having said that, Black Cocoon let out a long sigh, seemingly relieved to have finally persuaded such a difficult beast. He was silent for a moment, then suddenly mentioned:
"Oh, by the way, don’t hang up, I have another important task for you!"
"What else is there?"
Gu Zhuo Case furrowed his brows, sitting on the hospital bed, quietly waiting for Black Cocoon to speak.
"Here’s the thing... Rainbow Wings has eleven members, even if their fighting power is somewhat depleted after the fight with Light-Eating Bee, with just the three of us plus Mr. Blue Arc, along with Dr. Zelcy and his little Shark, might not be enough to beat them."
"So what?" Gu Zhuo Case asked.
Black Cocoon hesitated for a moment, then said tactfully, "So for safety’s sake, I found a strong and powerful ally for us... really powerful."
"An ally?"
"Yes, an ally." Black Cocoon nodded, hesitated for a moment, then continued from the phone, "Here’s the deal, after hearing this ally’s name and identity, you might be reluctant to meet him."
"Who exactly is it?" Gu Zhuo Case asked impatiently, "Stop being mysterious... don’t I know your tricks?"
Black Cocoon coughed twice, "Alright, here comes the answer, our final ally, he is..."
Stopping here for a moment, he then said softly:
"Your dear father-in-law, Su Wei."
