Everything happened in just a few seconds, and Mo Junjie had no time to react. When he reached out to grab Du Beiye’s wrist, the injection was already done.
Narrowing his eyes, he stared at her coldly and asked, "What did you inject into me?"
Du Beiye felt the pain in her wrist, but she still met his gaze and replied calmly, "Something to help with your condition."
The moment he heard this, Mo Junjie was stunned. After a moment, he realized belatedly that the constant burning pain inside his body was slowly lessening.
"You—"
"No need to thank me. I didn’t do this for you," Du Beiye said casually.
She knew how important Mo Junjie’s expertise in the research field was for her sister and for the human race.
She was not so arrogant as to think she could face the Matkuna Race alone. If she wanted to win the battle, she had to gain the human race’s help and support. Therefore, this person couldn’t die.
Although he didn’t know her motive for helping him, Mo Junjie was not an ungrateful person. No matter what, she had done him a great favor.
After a moment of silence, he said, "Alright, I won’t ask about the medicine. I will remember this favor. In the future, if you need help, you can come to me."
Hearing this, Du Beiye nodded but didn’t take it to heart. "Okay."
Since she was done with the important business, she didn’t plan to stay for long. "I will go now."
Mo Junjie nodded and watched her leave with a complicated gaze. In his whole life, this was the first time someone had been willing to help him without asking for anything in return.
When this thought flashed through his mind, his heart skipped a beat. Placing his hand on his chest, he frowned and muttered, "Is this the side effect of the medicine?"
As he walked back to the building, he thought that he had to draw some of his blood and run some tests to see if there were any side effects after being injected with that unknown medicine.
Meanwhile, in Zhuji City, a young man was staring out the floor-to-ceiling window from the top floor of a five-star hotel.
As he swirled the red wine in his glass, he asked, "How is it going?"
A man standing five meters behind him replied with his head lowered, "The fish has taken the bait."
"Good. Keep an eye on them and don’t move the hidden pawns for now."
"Understood."
At this moment, they could not help but glance at their Captain.
Noticing their gazes, Yuan Ruiyue said, "This battle will be a test for all of you. If you cannot keep up with the team, then I will send you back to the base. Those who can keep up will join the Phantom team."
The moment they heard this, his members’ eyes flashed with surprise. They always thought that their Captain was collaborating with the Phantom team. Unexpectedly, their Captain wanted to join the Phantom team!
But when they recalled the information they had heard about the Phantom team, they found it reasonable. After all, they were the only S-rank mercenary team in the Lin’an City base.
Compared to working like dogs for the Pei family, it was better to jump ship and join the mercenary team. Not only would they earn more, but they also would not have to worry about being killed without rhyme or reason.
Even if they could not join the Phantom team, after their battle in Pingjiang City, the Pei family should not have guessed that they were still alive.
With their new identities as permanent registered citizens, they could join the guards team at the Lin’an City Base. Reaching this conclusion, Yuan Ruiyue’s team members calmed down and nodded. "Understood."
While most of them were already making backup plans, only Di Hansheng and Su Ruanyi were determined to join the Phantom team.
Both of them knew that the basic common sense of improvement was tied to the environment and the people they came in contact with. If they wanted to get stronger, they had to learn from the best.
Not knowing what they were thinking, Jiao Lizhi walked over and said, "Although you are not official members of the Phantom team, we will do our best to protect you."
