Slayer: Look directly at the Seraph, standing on the sun

Chapter 762 Medicinal Effect

The medicine took effect quickly, and Mabuyi gradually regained her strength, the first thing she did was regain her ability to speak. She immediately let out a sharp, angry scream: "Baiyun! I'm going to kill you!" Her voice was hoarse with extreme shame and anger, but the killing intent within it was undeniable.

Upon hearing this, Scorpion's eyes instantly turned cold, and his killing intent surged, as if he were about to tear Mabuyi to shreds at any moment. However, Zhang Hai swiftly grabbed Scorpion, gently shaking his head to signal him not to act rashly.

Then, Zhang Hai walked to the cabinet in the room, took out a clean set of clothes, and gently placed it on the bedside table. He turned around and said to Mabuyi, "Get dressed first and calm yourself down. We'll wait for you outside." After saying that, he took the puzzled Scorpion's hand and walked out of the room, gently closing the door behind him.

Mabuyi stared at the clean clothes on the bedside table, her heart filled with complex emotions. At this moment, she understood everything completely. From their initial encounter, to Zhang Hai's "attentiveness," and now to this predicament, all the clues connected. She realized that Bai Yun was not the charming, harmless man he appeared to be; he had been scheming against her all along, setting this enormous trap from the very beginning. Even her supposedly well-hidden Yunyin secret service had never escaped his notice.

She was filled with remorse, regretting her naiveté in believing that she could persuade someone like that to join the Hidden Cloud Village in just two days. She felt utterly bewitched, having actually thought that a traitor might have a chance to "turn back to the right path."

With trembling hands, Mabui dressed herself. She stretched her body, and although her strength had somewhat returned, when she sensed her chakra, she found it was still completely empty. She realized she was now utterly powerless, and a flicker of despair crossed her eyes.

However, thinking of the "Zero Organization" Bai Yun mentioned, a sense of curiosity welled up within her. What exactly was this mysterious organization? What did Bai Yun want her to do? She took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the humiliation and despair in her heart, and pushed open the door to leave.

Zhang Hai and Scorpion were standing not far from the door. Seeing Mabuyi come out, Zhang Hai immediately handed her a cup of hot water and explained gently, "Miss Mabuyi, I'm very sorry. Red Spider misunderstood my instructions, causing some misunderstanding. My intention was simply to invite you to join our organization; I had absolutely no intention of insulting you."

Mabui took the hot water but didn't drink it. She had a very low opinion of the two men and trusted them completely. Her expression was cold, her eyes showing a hint of weariness and determination, and she said in an icy voice, "Give up. I won't join your organization."

Zhang Hai still wore that faint smile, as if Mabuyi's refusal had no effect on him. He asked softly, "Miss Mabuyi, would you like to know where the members of my organization come from?"

Mabui held the hot water cup in her hand. Although her strength had returned, she still couldn't use her chakra, which cast a shadow over her heart. She glanced coldly at Zhang Hai, her tone flat and indifferent: "If you want to say something, I'll listen."

Zhang Hai ignored her attitude and spoke slowly, his voice carrying an innate allure: "My organization is called 'Zero.' Currently, we have four official members, each from a different ninja village, possessing unique skills. Besides us, there are about six hundred unofficial members scattered throughout the ninja world, and this number will continue to increase as the Third Shinobi World War breaks out." His tone was calm, yet it revealed a terrifyingly vast power.

When Mabuyi heard the number "six hundred people," she couldn't help but be shocked. A newly established organization already possessed such a large number of unofficial staff—what kind of energy and ambition did this contain? She finally couldn't help but ask, "What is your purpose in establishing this organization?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Hai's smile deepened. "The goal now is very simple," he said, his voice carrying a hint of nonchalance yet revealing extreme seriousness, "is to make money."

Mabuyi frowned, clearly not believing his story. "And then?" she pressed.

Zhang Hai's eyes instantly deepened, and he spoke each word with an undeniable conviction: "Then... increase our strength and change the world."

Mabui was utterly shocked by Zhang Hai's ambition. She stood there stunned for a long time before recovering from the shock. She couldn't imagine that a private organization could have such grand ambitions. She felt a sense of absurdity, and her tone carried a hint of anger: "Isn't the current balance of power among the Five Great Nations good enough? Why change it?!" She believed that if Zhang Hai's organization grew stronger, it would only bring greater disaster to the ninja world in the future.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Hai's smile gradually faded, replaced by a deep sense of irony. He countered, "Is the current situation good?" His gaze fell on Mabui, as if he could see right through her. "My parents and I, Red Spider, all died in the war. The Third Shinobi World War has already begun, and more innocent people will sacrifice themselves. Isn't this kind of shinobi world itself a huge disaster?"

Hearing this, Scorpion couldn't help but let out a cold snort. His emotionless eyes stared coldly at Mabui, his tone carrying an undisguised threat: "You underestimate us. The world we're building is far beyond your imagination." His voice was hoarse and icy, as if it came from the depths of hell, "If you remain stubborn, I'd rather kill you. After turning you into a puppet, all your abilities will be perfectly preserved. Moreover, I can make you even more beautiful."

Seeing the almost extreme cold-blooded ruthlessness in Scorpion's eyes, Mabui knew this wasn't just a simple threat, but the cruel reality that he could easily act on it. Her heart trembled, and she turned to Zhang Hai, saying bitterly, "You coveted my Heavenly Delivery Technique, didn't you? So, from the moment you learned about this ninjutsu, you've been plotting against me." Her tone was filled with weariness and a hint of resignation.

Zhang Hai didn't deny it; he earnestly admitted, "I do value your Heavenly Gift Technique highly. It's an indispensable force for changing the world." His gaze was sincere and open, without the slightest evasion. "But not entirely. Because I also value Mabuyi as a person." He extended his hand, making an inviting gesture. "Miss Mabuyi, join us. I promise you, the changed world will be far better than it is now. If I fail to deliver, you are free to leave at any time, and I will not stop you."
