Global Abyss: My Skills Can Enhance Infinitely-Chapter 1000 - 802: Determination

"Qiudao, you are the most outstanding assistant I’ve ever seen, and also the most outstanding ninja. Compared to you, the others in the Hand-to-hand Combat Association are nothing."

The Big Boss gazed at Qiudao Tangdong standing before him, his face even showing a hint of satisfaction.

He was aware that Qiudao Tangdong had been tasked with monitoring him, but it didn’t matter. The remnants of the Hand-to-hand Combat Association and Anbrella were insignificant.

Even Hydra, in the eyes of the Big Boss, was nothing more than a bunch of pigs.

The only ones worth his attention were Stark and the mage who had thwarted his plans last time.

"You flatter me."

"I know you’re following me under orders to observe my actions, and I don’t mind. If there’s anything you need to report or information you don’t know, just ask me directly—I’ll tell you."

The Big Boss could sense the deep-rooted loyalty in Qiudao Tangdong’s bones, the kind of unwavering devotion that made him the perfect enforcer.

To truly win over someone like him, one must treat them with sincerity.

Only then, after the death of his old employer, could he be fully reclaimed.

In the Big Boss’s eyes, talents like Qiudao Tangdong were far more valuable than the Hand-to-hand Combat Association or Lady Gao.

He himself was not adept at combat, so he needed someone to oversee basic security and daily operations.

Trustworthy individuals were rare, but if Qiudao Tangdong could be brought into his fold, he would undoubtedly assume significant responsibilities!

Though Lady Gao was still alive now, meaning Qiudao Tangdong wouldn’t betray her. freewebnoveℓ.com

But people eventually die!

"The five fingers of the Hand-to-hand Combat Association can use certain unique methods to achieve rebirth. You can tell Lady Gao that I’ve cracked their formula and can greatly reduce their material needs—this is the sincerity I’m willing to offer."

The Big Boss, with his bulbous head, had eyes filled with a perceptive brilliance.

He knew the five fingers of the Hand-to-hand Combat Association wouldn’t believe him immediately—they would definitely test it out.

But it didn’t matter; he was playing an open game!

Once they discovered that the ’effectiveness’ could indeed hold up, they would undoubtedly come to him for collaboration.

When the time came, he could simply add a little "extra ingredient," ensuring that Lady Gao would never wake up, allowing him to replace her as one of the five fingers.

The Big Boss felt quite confident in this arrangement.

He glanced at Qiudao Tangdong again and grew increasingly pleased.

Having conflicting loyalties was excellent; the more conflict, the more it proved his dedication!

No one likes those who are prone to betrayal. At most, such people are superficially appeased and used for propaganda.

"This..."

Qiudao Tangdong seemed a bit hesitant, but the Big Boss simply chuckled lightly.

"It’s fine; feel free to make contact."

The Big Boss deliberately patted Qiudao Tangdong on his leg with meaningful intent, then continued to move away in his motorized wheelchair, leaving ample room for Qiudao Tangdong to act.

This situation left Qiudao Tangdong somewhat bewildered.

Originally, he had been seeking an opportunity to secretly send out the awakening message that had been transmitted earlier via encrypted channels.

But the Big Boss, known for his extreme caution, was operating out of a temporary research base equipped with various signal-blocking devices, even capable of jamming satellite connections.

And now, for his sake, he’d lifted the signal restrictions?

He was being told to freely communicate?

Was this even possible?

Qiudao Tangdong was not one for indecision.

Even aware that it might be a trap, his ninja instincts ensured he dutifully seized the opportunity when it arose.

He pulled out an Anthony smartphone, checked the signal on the screen, and silently started a video call...

...

"Of all things, I didn’t expect to miscalculate again..."

The Big Boss felt the amber-like confinement enveloping his body as he stared at Tao Yu and Qiudao Tangdong ahead, his expression tinged with bewilderment.

He had seen through Qiudao Tangdong’s undisguised loyalty to his mission, his deliberate presence serving a specific purpose.

But weren’t you supposed to be sent by the Hand-to-hand Combat Association to work with Anbrella?

Yet it turns out you’re loyal neither to Anbrella nor to the Hand-to-hand Combat Association, but to *this man?!*

Faced with Tao Yu once again, the Big Boss showed a trace of resignation.

"It is you, sir, who won. I thought I had accounted for everything, yet twice now, major upheavals have occurred because of you."

The Big Boss could perceive flaws in divination, discern vulnerabilities in the Abyss, and even wield the Abyss Aura by exploiting Thor’s identity as the Chosen One.

The sheer strength of his abilities was beyond question.

Yet in his attempt to trap Tao Yu last time, he hadn’t accounted for Tao Yu’s profound affinity with the Abyss.

This time, he intended to win over Qiudao Tangdong.

As it turned out, Qiudao Tangdong’s loyalty wasn’t directed toward Lady Gao but toward this formidable adversary!

Previously, he had escaped thanks to prearranged routes and the time Thor had bought for him.

Now, though alternate plans remained, there was evidently no one left to buy him time.

It was over...

After capturing the Big Boss, Tao Yu indeed sensed the Abyss Aura on him.

But surprisingly, Tao Yu noticed that this Abyss Aura was concentrated solely on one segment of the Big Boss’s little finger—without infecting the rest of his body.

"How did you manage this?"

Intrigued, Tao Yu examined the Big Boss’s hand before pulling out Heimdall’s pitch-black eyes.

Heimdall had also initially suffered partial infection by the Abyss, but it later spiraled out of control, spreading further.

If not for Tao Yu’s intervention, Heimdall would have perished.

But Tao Yu discovered the Abyss Aura on the Big Boss’s finger was exceptionally stable!

It seemed entirely confined to his finger, with no hint of spreading.
