Chapter 1127 - 1123: Are We Really Just Pawns?

Chapter 1127: Chapter 1123: Are We Really Just Pawns?

However, just as Demon Rope felt a tinge of relief, suddenly he sensed the temperature around him dropping, and he felt as though he had fallen into the eighteenth level of hell. Instantly, he fixated on Xiao Tian’s eyes, his entire being trembling with fear,

In his eyes, he could only see that overwhelming will.

"Become my subordinate!" he heard Xiao Tian command as his fingers danced in the air, creating numerous blood-red talismans aimed at Demon Rope.

"Ah~" Due to his body’s natural instincts, Demon Rope was deeply frightened. He wanted to resist, but he could only wait patiently.

The Blood Talisman landed perfectly on Demon Rope’s forehead.

Suddenly, Demon Rope’s gaze towards Xiao Tian changed, filled now with respect and admiration!

"Boss!"

"You’re pretty good!" Xiao Tian nodded at him, satisfied. It seemed this boy was indeed better and more promising than Ye Huangze.

In a previous life, during the battle with the Ten Thousand Heavens City, Xiao Tian had used this Blood Talisman to control numerous people. However, most died in that conflict. Though Demon Rope was somewhat weak now, with dedication and time from Xiao Tian, he could become a great asset.

As for fearing betrayal, it was unlikely because a mere thought from Xiao Tian could end Demon Rope’s life. More importantly, even the slightest rebellious intent could result in instant elimination by the Blood Talisman, ensuring he would never be reborn.

Especially now, Xiao Tian wasn’t worried if Demon Rope was cunning or shameless; what mattered most was his potential.

"Alright, we’re done here." Xiao Tian waved his hand, knowing Ling Yun must be incredibly anxious by now.

"Alright, boss!"

Demon Rope responded with great respect, following closely behind as they left.

But soon after Xiao Tian and Demon Rope departed, Cuizhu, who had been unmoving on the ground, rose and opened her eyes, looking around to find Old Dian’s corpse lying there.

"Ah, why didn’t he kill me? Why didn’t he kill me?" Cuizhu wondered, not feeling lucky but filled with rage.

She knew that if Xiao Tian wanted her dead, a casual strike could shatter her head.

"Since he spared me, is he mocking me?" Cuizhu furiously stared into the surrounding darkness and, full of anger, declared, "I’ll make you regret it!"

But making Xiao Tian regret? Impossible. Cuizhu simply didn’t have the power to make Xiao Tian regret anything. She was spared because of her loyalty, but Xiao Tian also wanted her to understand Ye Huangze’s schemes.

"What are you doing, Why haven’t you come?"

To this moment, Cuizhu still couldn’t believe that Ye Huangze had abandoned them.

Could it truly be as that bastard said, the boss was scared, had chickened out?

Impossible!

Cuizhu coolly examined the deceased Old Dian before vanishing from the scene.

She had to find Ye Huangze and get answers about what he was really doing.

Yet what she imagined was far from reality.

Cuizhu directly went to the hotel where Ye Huangze was staying; it was around two o’clock.

Upon entering the room, she was confronted with a nauseating scene.

The TV was playing some embarrassing Oriental action film, with two well-figured women dressed in lingerie trying to seduce Ye Huangze.

She even caught the scent of herbal medicine in the room.

Ye Huangze now, his face flushed, appeared as if he had indulged excessively. His skin was swollen, and his face seemed crazed, marked by anxiety.

"What’s happening, why isn’t it working, what’s the matter?"

Ye Huangze felt like he was close to exploding; yet frustratingly, his little brother remained unfazed.

Despite consuming large amounts of tonic medicine endlessly.

Even though numerous potent ancient prescriptions showed slight effects, he felt like his entire body was burning, yet still nothing from his little brother, as if it wasn’t part of him.

His mental state was unraveling, almost to the point of bursting.

Ye Huangze, at this moment, couldn’t muster a thought for his brothers whose fates were unknown.

As Demon Rope said, they were merely mercenaries after all, how much camaraderie could there be? He was merely a pawn to Ye Huangze, who came from a great family skilled in manipulating people’s hearts. Despite once saving Cuizhu, that was when he had the assurance.

Tonight, Ye Huangze found himself bereft of confidence altogether.

Because, he believed regaining his masculinity outweighed any other matter.

Cuizhu, witnessing such a detestable scene, felt her spirit extinguished, stunned beyond belief.

Pain

Heartache!

Initially, Cuizhu thought the boss had urgent business, but the scene before her slapped her cheeks fiercely.

Cuizhu initially thought that if the boss was scared, she could still empathize with him, even forgive him due to the terrifying nature of that bastard.

Because if there’s life, there’s hope; losing a few people was better than everyone perishing; as long as the boss remained, revenge was possible.

But

Looking at the man she always revered, he was utterly disgusting.

His face didn’t reveal a trace of tension or sorrow.

I was really blind!

Even ordinary folks would mourn when livestock died?

Now, it seemed, what did the brothers of the Netherworld King Organization mean to him?

Were they less than nothing?

"Ah!"

Ye Huangze, spotting the arrival of Cuizhu, was rather pleased.

Among the members of the Netherworld King Group, even if the others perished, Ye Huangze wouldn’t feel much sorrow; Cuizhu was different, as she was not only his admirer but part of his harem. It would be a pity if she died.

"Cuizhu, you’re finally back, what about Old Dian and Demon Rope?" Ye Huangze quickly inquired.

"Why!"

Cuizhu didn’t reply; she could only painfully gaze at Ye Huangze.

"Why?" Ye Huangze looked at Cuizhu’s pained expression, dumbfounded.

"I just want, I..."

He wished to say something, but as he glanced at the room’s scene, not even Ye Huangze, with his thick skin, could provide excuses to Cuizhu.

"Ye Huangze!"

Cuizhu painfully looked at the two women beside Ye Huangze, then said, "If today you were scared, I can understand and forgive you, because going there would be walking into death, and I wouldn’t want you in danger."

"But, what you’re doing now is truly revolting.

When we were in danger, you didn’t express any worry, not even urgency, instead indulging here with women in carnal pleasures, what concerns us is where you placed us? Are we truly just pawns?"
