540 A Fool or Trickster? (1)
Everyone moved from the four grand demon clans, except Archie, who was still looking at the gray barrier.
Finley couldn’t help but snickered, “It seemed little nephew still have some misgiving. I wonder if he tricked you again this time?”
Harvey coldly snorted, but didn’t reply and looked at his son’s back with confidence. He had sworn he would not doubt his son again and would support him in any way possible.
Finally, Archie moved as he walked toward the gray barrier with an impassive look on his face.
Everyone looked at the descendants of the four grand demon clans with great interest. They knew the show was about to begin.
But those branch clans didn’t want to stay out of the limelight. So some of them who were extremely confident also moved forward while most of them decided to wait and observe.
There’s still a six-hour time limit, and they also didn’t want to enter between the fight of the four grand demon clans.
“Fellow peers, how about we bet who will cross this barrier first?” At this moment, an emerald skin demoness with a charming figure and gorgeous appearance expressed in her crisp voice. She was a Poison Wood Demon.
“I’m not interested in playing your little game.” The nightmare demon youth with a stony expression sneered before he entered the barrier, and other nightmare demons followed suit.
“Heh, play your dirty tricks on someone else.” The fiery demon sneered disdainfully and entered the barrier.
Lucas didn’t even look and entered the barrier with an aloof expression.
The Poison Wood Demoness squinted her eyes when she saw no one took the bait well except for one demon who was looking at her with a gentle smile. It was Archie!
Archie said with a smile, “I’ll take that bet if you’re not afraid, that is.”
Everyone looked at Archie as if he was a fool.
Because everyone knew the Poison Wood Demon Clan was famous for its poison art and charm art. They were dreaded by everyone because the target won’t even know when they were poisoned or charmed by them until it was too late.
So, no one dared to talk with them without their guards up, much less get close to them.
But this soul life demon was talking with this poison wood demoness who seemed to be proficient in charm arts like it was nothing. They all thought he must be an idiot with a weakness of beautiful things.
“Hehe, I told you, your son is more interesting than you.” The Black Duke giggled when she saw Archie dare to talk with her daughter.
Harvey frowned. ‘What the hell is this brat doing? Could it be his mentality has been decreased by going to the pleasure place?’
The demoness’s name was Nancy, Black Demon Duke’s youngest daughter, and she was as poisonous and cunning as her mother.
Nancy was startled for a moment when she heard Archie before she smiled charmingly. “I accept. This way, it would be more fun, right?” While talking, she was already close to Archie and was about to hold his hand.
Everyone thought Archie would at least couldn’t let her touch him, but to their surprise, Archie didn’t show any sign of resistance and let her hold his hand, which left even Nancy somewhat baffled.
‘Is he a retard?’ She thought with uncertainty.
Well, she wasn’t alone with such a thought.
“Hahaha, little nephew sure knows how to treat a lady.” Finley couldn’t help but laugh out loud, and the pressure he felt from Archie suddenly vanished.
‘That brat is really a fool and had not been part of the previous scheme, and all of it was Harvey.’ He believed.
Even the emotionless Dark Fire Duke of Fiery Demon Clan couldn’t help but comment, “It seemed he was already charmed.”
Ash Duke nodded, saying nothing, and merely glanced at Harvey with some pity.
Harvey was now really worried.
Archie replied as he held Nancy’s hand with both hands as if he was completely head over heels for her and said, “If I win you have to be my girlfriend, and if I lose, I’ll do three things for you without any hesitation.”
The other two male poison wood demons also felt this guy was a retard, and was going to suffer big time under their cousin’s hands.
Others might not know, but they knew Nancy was extremely proficient in charm arts, and with her beautiful appearance and seductive figure she had many admirers, but even they won’t dare to approach her or let her approached like this, afraid to unknowingly become her puppets, or get poison.
Nancy smiled charmingly and quickly agreed, “Big bro, the bet is on. Now I’m going first. Will you please give me a head start of half an hour, please?” She looked pitiful.
“Sure, sure, I don’t want you to say to me, I cheated, so go, go.” Archie agreed without even thinking as if he would do anything for Nancy.
“Black Duke, tell your daughter to stop that charm art, and I’ll owe you a favor!” Harvey gritted his teeth as he saw Archie sitting down while waving at Nancy like a fool.
He wasn’t worried about the humiliation but worried that Nancy might’ve done something with his mind which would harm him in the radiations. He can’t interfere, or Harvey would be blacklisted.
Harvey had no choice but to look for Black Duke, who he loathed, but he didn’t mind owning her a favor for his son’s sake.
However, Black Duke coldly smiled and rejected with no hesitation, “Don’t worry, since your son has a crush on my little Nancy, she won’t mistreat him. We shouldn’t suppress our youngsters’ feelings as parents.”
The other poison wood demons behind Black Duke also had wintry smiles on their faces. Since Harvey dared to use Paul to taunt them, they were feeling quite great that now a Poison Wood Demon charmed Archie.
“She’s right, you shouldn’t interfere in your son’s ‘love affair.”
Finley won’t let this chance go to get back at Harvey after what he did and Archie was also being disrespectful to him before, so he wanted to teach that little brat a lesson.
The others remain silent.
A thick vein popped on Harvey’s forehead, and he really wanted to attack both Black Duke and Finely, but he knew it would spell trouble if he did anything in royal demon institute territory.
Many young demons disdainfully looked at Archie sitting outside the barrier with a big smile on his face as he watched Nancy’s back with flowers in his eyes.
Even those two invigilators didn’t bother to hide their contempt. In their eyes, Archie was as good as failed with this kind of mentality.
Lucas also laugh inwardly when he saw Archie getting ‘charmed’ by Nancy. He didn’t think it would be so easy to get rid of Archie, and he didn’t even have to do anything at all.
Half an hour passed in a flash,
At this moment, almost a hundred demons were inside the formation, and at the number one spot was the nightmare demon youth named Charles, the son of Ash Duke.
Followed by another nightmare demon, Bobby, and then Dark Fire Duke’s son, Hugo, Nancy, Lucas, and the remaining demons of the four grand demon clans.
They were at the three hundred meters mark and halfway toward the four hundred meters. But their speed was quite slow, and they were all saving their Qi for the five-hundred-meter mark.
That was their true battlefield.
At this moment, Archie, who didn’t make a suddenly stood up with a smile on his face.
Many merely glance at him and then ignore him. They all thought he was going to make a fool of himself when he entered the formation and soon be eliminated. There’s no way someone who was under charm arts can endure soul radiation.
Harvey was looking worriedly at him and wanted to drag him back, but remained standing and let him get eliminated on his own.
‘I’ll have to train his mental fortitude this year so he won’t fail next year.’ He thought and already started making plans.
At this moment, Archie looked at the two invigilators and asked with a polite smile, “What is the record of crossing this test?”
The dark bronze skin demon coldly answered, “It is enough for someone like you never be able to break it.”
The others also smirked disdainfully.
Archie, on the other hand, shrugged his shoulder. “I guess you’re right.”
Done saying, Archie suddenly charged into the formation with a protective green Qi barrier around him.
The violet skin demon chuckled mockingly at this moment, “What an ignorant moron. He’ll exhaust his soul Qi before he even reached the 3-Point radiation, and soon he’ll be screaming for help.”
Soon, Archie crossed the 100-meter mark with no hitch, and his speed didn’t decrease at all.
“At least he’ll fail with some dignity.” Finley chuckled when he saw Archie’s suicide charge.
No one thought he was sane anymore.
However, when Archie crossed the 200-meter mark in a minute and almost caught up to the group at the very front, everyone’s expression changed!
