"What is it?"
Jiang Wuming's expression was calm, not surprised at all.
As he had said, there was no free lunch in this world.
He didn't believe that the Black Widow would bring her subordinates to join the Battle Dragon Hall for no reason.
At the same time, he was a little curious about what the Black Widow truly wanted.
After all, he had just arrived in the City of Sin, and he had no prior interactions with the Black Widow.
"Help me call Shen Zui."
The Black Widow took a deep breath and stated her request.
"Uh..."
Jiang Wuming was stunned.
"Shen Zui was also a member of the Dragon Dao Sect. You should have his number, right?"
Seeing Jiang Wuming's bewildered expression, the Black Widow asked uneasily, as if afraid Jiang Wuming couldn't contact Shen Zui.
"Yes."
Hearing the Black Widow's words again, Jiang Wuming snapped back from his shock, nodded, and then asked, "You know my senior brother?"
"Not only do I know him, but I also know he has a mole on his butt," the Black Widow said with a hint of melancholy.
"—"
Jiang Wuming fell silent again, and at the same time, he instantly understood the relationship between the Black Widow and his senior brother—they had an affair, and had been intimate!
Besides that, he could also vaguely infer from the Black Widow's resentful expression that his senior brother had likely been a scumbag after taking advantage of her, and had abandoned her.
"As long as you help me call Shen Zui and let me talk to him, I promise that after I and the entire Widow's Group join the Battle Dragon Hall, we will fight with all our might in every battle..."
Seeing Jiang Wuming's hesitation, the Black Widow spoke again.
"You misunderstood me. I don't doubt your words."
Jiang Wuming immediately came back to his senses, shook his head, and interrupted the Black Widow, "I'll contact my senior brother for you right now."
"Okay!"
The Black Widow took a deep breath, trying to calm her emotions, but she appeared somewhat excited and nervous.
Jiang Wuming, without delay, immediately took out his satellite phone and dialed Shen Zui's number.
"Little Junior Brother, why are you calling me all of a sudden? Are you in trouble in the City of Sin?"
The call was answered quickly, and Shen Zui's voice came through the earpiece.
Shen Zui, who had returned to the Nether Hall, sounded a bit worried.
This was because, in his memory, Jiang Wuming rarely contacted him.
Jiang Wuming did not answer Shen Zui but silently handed the satellite phone to the Black Widow.
The Black Widow, who had just taken a deep breath and calmed down a bit, seemed to be under a spell upon hearing Shen Zui's voice, barely able to control her emotions. Her hands were even trembling as she took the satellite phone, and her breathing was slightly rapid.
"Little Junior Brother?!"
On the other end of the phone, Shen Zui didn't hear Jiang Wuming's reply but heard heavy breathing, which made him even more worried.
"Scumbag!!"
Hearing Shen Zui's words again, the Black Widow could no longer hold back. She had a thousand words to say, but all her emotions finally turned into these two words.
"???"
Shen Zui was suddenly stunned by a woman's voice, especially the word "scumbag." He instinctively glanced at the caller ID, confirmed it was his little junior brother's call, and couldn't help but think: Did little junior brother hook up with some girl in the City of Sin?
No!
Soon, Shen Zui suddenly realized something was wrong.
Because he suddenly felt that the voice from before was extremely familiar, a voice that had appeared in his dreams more than once!
"Jessie... Jessica?!"
In an instant, a girl's figure emerged in Shen Zui's mind, and he called out the name buried in his heart with some disbelief.
"It's rare indeed, you scumbag, that you still remember my voice."
The Black Widow's words were still unpleasant, and her tone was still filled with deep resentment, but a hint of joy emerged in her eyes.
At this moment, she didn't seem like a martial arts powerhouse at the ninth stage of the Four-Star War God, but rather acted like any woman who had been wronged and was contacting her ex.
Silence.
Shen Zui, in the Nether Hall, fell silent, his expression somewhat complex.
"Why aren't you speaking? Are you feeling guilty? No, no, no, you scumbag, how could you possibly feel guilty?!" Seeing Shen Zui's silence, the Black Widow spoke again.
"Jessica, so many years have passed, and you're still so hot-tempered..." Shen Zui sighed.
However—
Before he could finish his sentence, the Black Widow screamed:
"You call me hot-tempered?!"
"—"
Shen Zui.
Jiang Wuming quietly got out of the car and walked to the side of the bridge, leaning on the railing and admiring the night view, leaving the space to the Black Widow.
This was because he was afraid that the Black Widow might vent her anger on him later.
"Jessica, you went to such lengths to contact me using my little junior brother's phone..."
After a brief silence, Shen Zui spoke again.
"You say I went to such lengths? Do you think I'm a scheming woman?!" the Black Widow screamed again.
"I was wrong, I was wrong, Jessica. You are a beautiful, elegant, calm, and composed woman. Knowing you is the greatest blessing of my life."
Shen Zui immediately changed his tone.
"Then why did you leave so quietly back then?" the Black Widow asked.
"I had no choice." Shen Zui sighed again.
"You can leave without saying a word with just one phrase, 'I had no choice.' Have you ever thought about what would happen to me? What about our child?!" the Black Widow said angrily.
"A child? Impossible! We couldn't possibly have a child!!"
This time, it was Shen Zui who screamed, his emotions very agitated.
"How do you know there isn't one?!" the Black Widow questioned.
"I trust my self-control. You couldn't possibly have my child. Could it be that you have the child of the man next door and want to frame me?!" Shen Zui was also angered.
This time, it was the Black Widow's turn to fall silent.
Then, by the time she wanted to say something else, Shen Zui had already hung up the phone.
"Hehehe..."
In the sports car, the Black Widow held her phone with both hands and suddenly started laughing. She laughed loudly and seductively, but in the end, her eyes turned red.
What a mess.
Jiang Wuming stood by the bridge, sighing inwardly.
A few minutes later, the Black Widow got out of the car, handed the satellite phone to Jiang Wuming, and then said, "Little Brother Wuming, thank you."
"Are you okay?"
Jiang Wuming took the phone, feeling a pang of sympathy. The Black Widow had clearly been wronged by his senior brother, yet after so many years, she still harbored feelings for him, truly a tragic figure.
"I'm fine."
The Black Widow smiled charmingly and said, "Also, please convey to Shen Zui that I don't have a child. If he wants me to have a child, he can come find me anytime."
"???"
Jiang Wuming was stunned again.
"Dear little brother, let's go, I'll give you a ride back." The Black Widow didn't explain further and changed the topic.
"No need, I'll go back myself."
Jiang Wuming shook his head and refused, feeling that the Black Widow was unpredictable.
"Alas... I know, you might think I'm crazy. I've thought so many times myself. Even before I called him just now, I thought so. But now, I'm sure I'm not. I just love him, and he hasn't forgotten me, and he cares about me very much. Otherwise, why would he get so agitated when he heard the word 'child'? He's such a playboy, he would never take responsibility for girls. Besides, in a liberal place like the North American Alliance, there's no such thing as taking responsibility."
The Black Widow sighed faintly and then waved to Jiang Wuming, "Dear little brother, goodbye."
"Goodbye."
Jiang Wuming subconsciously waved back, understanding that the woman named Jessica, also known as the Black Widow, was deeply poisoned by his senior brother's charms, and the poison ran very deep.
"Vroom~"
Immediately, with the roar of the car engine, the cool sports car sped away.
Jiang Wuming watched the Black Widow drive away in her sports car. After thinking for a moment, he took out his satellite phone again and dialed his senior brother's number.
As before, the call was connected quickly, but Shen Zui didn't speak.
"Senior Brother, it's me." Jiang Wuming spoke first.
"Hoo..."
Shen Zui let out a long sigh and then asked, "Little Junior Brother, why did you call me for her?"
"Senior Brother, it's like this..."
Jiang Wuming first explained the entire situation to Shen Zui and then asked, "Senior Brother, when she left, she told me she didn't have a child. She also said that if you want her to have a child, you can come find her anytime."
Shen Zui was silent.
"Senior Brother, what's your situation with her?" Jiang Wuming couldn't help but ask.
"She is the only woman I have ever loved, but I cannot protect her for a lifetime."
Shen Zui replied with a complex tone.
Swish!
Jiang Wuming's expression changed drastically.
Originally, he thought the Black Widow was just a flower casually picked by Shen Zui during his life's journey, but the reality was far from his imagination.
"Little Junior Brother, since you are in the City of Sin, please keep an eye on her for me from now on." Shen Zui spoke again, entrusting him.
"Okay."
Jiang Wuming agreed immediately.
Although he hadn't spent much time with Shen Zui, he understood him.
Shen Zui was a man of great detachment. His unusual behavior today, and his words just now, proved that the Black Widow was extremely important to Shen Zui!
...
Half an hour later.
Jiang Wuming returned to the villa.
As soon as he entered the villa, Qin Xiaozhi arrived.
"Boss, Xiao Yao said you left with the Black Widow after the meeting. What's going on?"
Qin Xiaozhi asked directly upon entering, not out of curiosity, but because he thought it was related to the meeting held by Dawson.
"Brother Zhi, the Black Widow will bring the entire Widow's Group to join the Battle Dragon Hall tomorrow. Please prepare." Jiang Wuming answered out of context.
"Whoa, Boss, you have too much influence!"
Qin Xiaozhi was stunned by this and couldn't help but exclaim.
As one of the people who knew Jiang Wuming best in the world, he knew that Jiang Wuming wouldn't be tempted by the Black Widow. The only explanation was Jiang Wuming's reputation, which led the Black Widow to voluntarily bring her people to join the Battle Dragon Hall.
"It's my Senior Brother's influence that's great." Jiang Wuming gave a wry smile.
"Brother Shen?" Qin Xiaozhi was taken aback.
"Yes, the Black Widow used to be my Senior Brother's woman." Jiang Wuming nodded.
"Brother Shen, amazing!!"
Qin Xiaozhi gave a thumbs-up, his admiration surging like the Yellow River.
Why couldn't Senior Brother protect Jessica?
Was it because he joined the Nether Hall?
Jiang Wuming asked himself inwardly.
There was no answer.
But his reason told him that his Senior Brother's joining the Nether Hall was very strange!
...
