Chapter 166.2 Is this a Scam for Compensation? (2/2)
Wang Ke was at a loss. "I didn’t even know you were coming. How is this supposed to be a trap?"
"You, you, you…!" The Snake King burned with anger.
Damn, isn’t this a trap already? I’m gonna be barbequed because of you!
"Snake King? Oh, how mighty you are!" the Demon Sovereign said.
"No, no, please! Please forgive me, Demon Sovereign. It’s just a personal grudge between Wang Ke and me! Please pardon my blunder; I didn’t know you were here!" the monster begged in fear.
"Personal grudge? Heh, Wang Ke is the Divine Dragon Branch Lord; everything in Divine Dragon Island is under his command; you are just a pet we keep there. You dared to attack your superior, and you dare call it a personal grudge?" their leader questioned calmly.
Wang Ke was surprised. "Demon Sovereign, you mean I have authority over the Snake King? He’s my subordinate?"
"Hmm? You didn’t know?" The Demon Sovereign looked at Wang Ke.
"I… I didn’t! No one told me this!" Wang Ke was caught by surprise.
"I beg your mercy, please forgive me, Demon Sovereign! I lost myself just now because Wang Ke shattered my inner core last time; I was blinded by anger!" The reptile was as close to the ground as he could to show repentance.
"Wang Ke shattered your inner core?" their leader asked.
"Bullsh*t! When did I shatter your inner core? Spit it out and let me see! Don’t try to falsely accuse me!" Wang Ke demanded in anger.
"Spit it out!" the Demon Sovereign commanded sternly.
The Snake King’s face froze. Spit it out? I… Darn it…! I didn’t mean that it happened just now!
Still, the monster would not dare cross his leader’s orders; he fearfully spat out the translucent inner core.
The object had a pristine look. It didn’t release any poisonous gas as it was being controlled by the reptile, who then made it levitate in front of Wang Ke and the Demon Sovereign.
After some inspection, Wang Ke said, "Your inner core is in perfect condition!"
The Snake King: "…………………..!"
That’s because I repaired after taking some of the dragon Qi surrounding Zhu Yan! Also, this isn’t the first time! You’ve already shattered it once at sea, near Divine Dragon Island. And not long ago, that monk shattered it once again; all because of you.
"I don’t mean today, but last time. Wang Ke shattered it once, some time ago. Demon Sovereign, I’m telling the truth!" said the Snake King to plead for his case.
"How dare you lie to the Demon Sovereign! Tsk tsk!" Wang Ke rebutted in disbelief.
The Snake King widened his eyes in anger. Who lied? Who!?
"Demon Sovereign, I’m telling the truth; I’ve just repaired my inner core!" said the anxious Snake King.
A wave caused by a murderous, chilling aura was coming from the Demon Sovereign.
"Please spare me, Demon Sovereign! Please spare me! It was all my fault!" The Snake King could only admit defeat.
Damn, if I don’t admit my fault, he’s really going to make soup out of me! Damn it! Why!
"Wang Ke, the Snake King is your subordinate. How do you want to deal with him?" the Demon Sovereign asked.
"Me?" Wang Ke felt dazed.
The Snake King was terrified. Is Wang Ke going to decide whether I live or die now?
Wang Ke looked at Mo Sanshan and asked, "Mo Sanshan, you’re an intelligence worker and know a lot of things. Do you know of rich people who like to keep snakes as pets? Of course, it’s fine if they like to eat snakes too. Simply put, do you know of anyone who would spend lavishly buying a snake? How much would this snake be worth?"
Mo Sanshan turned around with a black face and ignored the question. Damn. You really are obsessed with money! The Demon Sovereign is backing you, giving you the authority to deal with the snake, but you want to sell him to get some money? Are you really that poor?
The Snake King also froze in shock. Sell me? To be eaten as food?
"Wang… Wang Ke! I’m sorry! Please let me off this time. I will be obedient to you!" the giant snake anxiously begged for forgiveness.
Wang Ke’s face looked irritated after noticing that Mo Sanshan was ignoring him. "This means that the snake can only be used to harvest food and also skin to make equipment. Other than that, he’s worth nothing?"
Silence befell on the courtyard.
The Demon Sovereign regretted letting Wang Ke decide how to settle the Snake King matter. He’s crazy! Damn. However, he could only wait awkwardly for the young man to decide since he had already given Wang Ke the authority; he could only wait awkwardly for the latter to decide.
Wang Ke looked at the giant creature and said.
"Snake King, the Demon Sovereign said that you‘re my subordinate, yet you’ve always caused trouble for me, which really makes me uncomfortable. Let me give you two options: First, I barbeque you and serve you to my brothers in the demonic sect! Second, obey all my commands. Never question what I ask you to do! If I ask you to bite a dog, you cannot go after a chicken instead!" The Snake King was stunned. Of course, I will pick the second one! Stay alive first, then I will look for an opportunity to deal with you.
The Snake King cried out, "I want the second option! The second option!"
Wang Ke then said to his leader, "Demon Sovereign, he has agreed to listen to my orders! Let’s just spare him, I can’t get any value out of him anyway!"
The Snake King had nothing left! I had already swept his den clean. Having the Snake King by my side, even if he’s not strong enough to protect me, I can at least have him perform some tricks on the street to earn money!
The Demon Sovereign looked at Wang Ke. You’re letting him off just like that? What are you thinking? Aren’t you worried that the Snake King will try to pay you back in spades?
Of course, the Demon Sovereign didn’t voice his concerns, and neither did he say anything more in favor of Wang Ke. I feel so drained when I’m helping you!
"Sure!" The Demon Sovereign nodded, his murderous aura fading.
Mo Sanshan was flabbergasted, unable to believe such an outcome had come to pass.
"Mo Sanshan, money!" said Wang Ke, claiming for his earnings.
"What money?" Mo Sanshan frowned.
"What the hell? The Demon Sovereign himself witnessed our bet! Five hundred thousand pounds of spirit stones! Are you going back on your word?" Wang Ke shouted.
Mo Sanshan looked at Wang Ke in frustration. Damn, did you purposefully release Zhu Yan as a scheme to ask for compensation?
And so, he gloomily reached into his pocket and took out a storage bangle containing five hundred thousand pounds. He then handed the goods to Wang Ke.
"You really are a straightforward man, Mo Sanshan!" Wang Ke happily received the bangle.
He only pocketed the bangle in satisfaction after ensuring that the amount of spirit stones was correct. Mo Sanshan clenched his fists, shaking as he watched Wang Ke counting spirit stones.
