Back to the Apocalypse

Chapter 41

Xiao Sa returned to the room extremely exhausted. He found Bai Jing reading a book in his hands, minding his own business. He didn't notice that Yu Yue was also in the room.

He let out an angry sigh. Damn! He had never felt so frustrated. But he blamed himself for not properly thinking things through. The original plan had been to quietly leave with only his closest subordinates. Who would've have guessed that Bai Jing would suddenly disappear and that the Burning Flame Alliance would split up? To tell the truth, the brothers had gladly followed him, but he had overlooked one point: adding their family members to the equation would make the situation that much more complex to deal with.

Back then, he had been anxious to find Bai Jing and so he needed to use the people around him, thinking that they could at least reduce the amount of work on his plate. But now he realizes that a person really can't be lazy, even more, they can't be kind-hearted. The division of the Burning Flame Alliance, Bai Jing's disappearance, and the break out of the apocalypse, one after another, these things had thrown his plans into disarray.

That being said, this outcome was also good, since he didn't want any unnecessary rubbish hanging around him. This once he would be a good man. This once he would send Buddha to the West. It can be considered as him awarding a round of points to the brothers who had willingly followed him. Under no circumstances would he ever accept betrayal from anyone, so from here on it was goodbye. Xiao Sa's eyes flashed with a cold glint.

"You're back? Has everything been handled properly?" Bai Jing looked up and saw the hard expression on Xiao Sa's face. The ominous glint in his eyes made Bai Jing think in his heart: yes, now Xiao Sa's look matches the one from his past life.

Xiao Sa nodded, his facial expression softer. He wouldn't hide anything from Bai Jing, so he plainly said: "I'm planning to leave the supplies in the West City warehouse to them."

Bai Jing sneered but didn't say anything, after all, these were Xiao Sa's family affairs. Actually, earlier today when that old woman had rushed out, he'd endured for a long time not to go up and slap her in the face with both his hands. What were they playing at huh? They were very lucky, Xiao Sa was still the head of an organized crime syndicate, yet in spite of that, he didn't say a word and allowed that woman to extremely disrespect him.

To a certain extent, Bai Jing could understand the behavior of the subordinates because in the apocalypse social rules no longer existed, only human nature ruled over everything.

When Xiao Sa saw his reaction, the corners of his lips curved up as he smiled and said: "Don't be angry. There is not much in the warehouse so I can afford it. Since I made a wrong decision, I must pay the consequences. They followed me, now I'm only paying back what I owe to them."

Bai Jing turned away from him. Talking about warehouse supplies so lightly, wait till a few days later when supplies are scarce, then he'll know just how much a warehouse is worth, and how many things could've been saved, and how many lives could've been saved.

Xiao Sa walked over and grabbed his waist, his nose filling with Bai Jing's fragrant scent. He suppressed the urges in his heart, then leaned into Bai Jing's ear and whispered: "They see that the world is chaotic, so they asked me to give them these things. Anyway, later on, you can always go and collect them back. After all, from here on whether they live or die has nothing to do with me. And besides, now that I've already played the role of the good guy, there is no need to once again become a villain. In short, it was my lack of consideration that led to this outcome today, so what harm is there in being generous this one time?"

Bai Jing's ears itched, his body heated up and a slight blush appeared on his cheeks. He started to struggle, but Xiao Sa grabbed his hands. Losing his chance of getting free, he angrily said: "you knew all of this already, so what on earth were you thinking? Didn't they follow you out in order to conserve their future? Since you are the boss, the first thing they should've done is to listen to your orders. They don't even have a modicum of respect."
