Chapter 672: You Will Decide Their Lives

Half an hour later, Chu Nan ended his discussion with Dong Fang and returned to the Sand Eagle headquarters.

Looking at the still brightly lit and bustling Sand Eagle Headquarters below, Chu Nan frowned slightly.

From the anti-monitoring signal detection just now, although the Sand Eagle headquarters was large, the monitoring was not weak at all. Angie Prairie had finally found a place with a relatively weak monitoring signal and obtained the chance to activate the anti-monitoring program in her personal terminal to sneak out.

It was already so difficult for him to sneak out alone. If he wanted to secretly bring Angie Prairie, High Priest Zima, and the others out, the difficulty could be imagined.

“Forget it, there’s always a way out. Moreover, Supremacy Oville might not lose.”

Since the plan had been set, Chu Nan could not be bothered to think about the difficulty. He landed and prepared to sneak back according to the route he had come out.

Halfway down, Chu Nan’s eyes suddenly narrowed as he stared at a figure that suddenly flew up from the darkness below.

“Little Brother Chu Nan, you’re very interested in the middle of the night. Where did you go?” The smile on Grek’s face was filled with mockery, like a cat teasing a mouse.

Chu Nan instantly controlled all his physical reactions and smiled at Grek, “I was bored and went out to stroll around. Why? Leader Grek, you’re not asleep?”

“Ever since I broke through the chasm between the Void Break Realm and the Heaven Control Realm seven years ago, I don’t need to sleep anymore.” Grek shook his head, “You’re very close to Miss Angie Prairie and her master, Supremacy Oville. Didn’t they tell you that after you become a Heaven Control Realm expert, you no longer need to rely on sleep to recover your mind and stamina?”

“I’ve never heard them mention it. Perhaps it’s because they think I’m still far from becoming a Heaven Control Martial Artist, so it’s useless to say it?” Chu Nan said.

Grek sized Chu Nan up and a trace of doubt appeared in his eyes. He pondered for a moment and smiled, “With your talent, it shouldn’t be a problem for you to become a Heaven Control Martial Artist in the future. Of course… the premise is that you can live safely until that day.”

Chu Nan’s heart stirred.

Grek’s last sentence was an open threat.

If it was in the past, he might have been touched by Grek’s words, but after talking to Dong Fang, Chu Nan firmly believed that he would become stronger and would not take his mere threat seriously.

“Thank you for your concern, Leader Grek. Don’t worry, I’ll definitely live until I become a Heaven Control Martial Artist or even stronger.”

“Oh?” Grek smiled. “Then I look forward to that day.”

After saying that, he turned around and flew towards the Sand Eagle headquarters below. In the blink of an eye, he had already disappeared into the vast lights.

Chu Nan watched him disappear. After waiting for a while, he no longer hid and flew towards his residence.

As soon as he landed in the courtyard, Chu Nan immediately felt several powerful auras around him.

“One, two… six… eight. Heh, sending a total of eight Void Break Martial Artists to guard us is really impressive.”

Chu Nan smiled and generously walked towards the still-bright hall.

As soon as he walked in, he saw High Priest Zima and Grek’s deputy, Modo, sitting on either side and discussing something.

Beside him, Angie Prairie was sitting alone and playing with her personal terminal in boredom. The other priests stood behind High Priest Zima.

When she saw Chu Nan enter, Angie Prairie jumped in front of him.

“You’re back.”

Chu Nan glanced at her with a questioning gaze.

Angie Prairie immediately pointed at Modo. “He came not long after you left.”

Chu Nan immediately understood.

It seemed that the operation he had prepared did not last long. Sand Eagle’s people quickly discovered that he was missing and immediately sent Modo to pester High Priest Zima and the others.

Grek clearly knew that Chu Nan was relatively difficult to restrict, so he did not restrict him. In comparison, it was much easier to control High Priest Zima and the others and Angie Prairie.

As long as High Priest Zima and the others—most importantly, Angie Prairie was still here—Chu Nan would not escape alone.

Seeing Chu Nan look over, Modo immediately stood up and smiled at him, “Since Mr. Chu Nan has returned, our discussion today will end here.”

After saying that, he turned to look at Chu Nan.

“Mr. Chu Nan, those four maidservants foolishly disturbed you. I’ve already punished them accordingly. If you have any other requests, please ask. The leader specially instructed that we must let you enjoy the most honorable treatment here, so please don’t be polite.”

“Punish?” Chu Nan frowned, “How did you punish them?”

“Everyone only whipped him a hundred times. There’s no need for esteemed guests to worry about some small matters,” Modo said casually.

Chu Nan was shocked.

Those four maidservants were ordinary people without any martial techniques. If each of them really received a hundred lashes, they would be dead.

“Hey, why would you kill them?” Before Chu Nan could speak, Angie Prairie could not help but ask, “They didn’t do anything wrong?”

“They’re not dead yet.” Modo still maintained his amiable smile, but the words coming out of his mouth were extremely cold, “However, in their current situation, they shouldn’t be able to survive tonight.”

Angie Prairie was immediately furious. “What’s the difference between that and death?”

“Of course, there’s a difference.” Modo smiled and turned to look at Chu Nan, “Leader Grek said that since they were punished for offending Mr. Chu Nan, they should be handed over to him to be dealt with in the end. If you think they deserve to die, ignore them. If you think they don’t deserve to die, we’ll naturally think of a way to save them.”

Looking at Modo’s smiling face, Chu Nan wished he could punch him.

Damn, this was clearly a ruse by Grek to force Chu Nan to make a choice.

If he chose to save the four maidservants, Grek would definitely force them over and Chu Nan could not reject.

This was because if he rejected, the four maidservants would definitely be treated even more miserably until Chu Nan agreed.

Of course, Chu Nan could also forcefully reject them and coldly watch them die to avoid future troubles.

However, if he did this, it would definitely leave a huge psychological trauma in Chu Nan and cause a serious obstacle to his future martial technique breakthrough. It would even cause it to be extremely difficult for him to break through to the Heaven Control Realm in the future.

Grek’s move was not bad.

If he agreed to save those four maidservants, Grek would definitely use various methods in the future to force him to submit in the end.

If Chu Nan firmly refused, an obstacle in his heart would be formed. In the future, it would be difficult for his martial technique to break through and it would be very difficult for him to pose any threat to Grek. It was equivalent to crippling a potential enemy, and it was also worth it.

Countless thoughts flashed through Chu Nan’s mind. In the end, he took a deep breath and slowly exhaled.

Who cared about this and that? As a martial artist, if he could not even maintain his own ideals, what was the point of cultivating martial techniques?!

If he was so timid, how could he become a Star-Grade Martial Artist?

Chu Nan glanced at Angie Prairie who was looking at him with concern and asked Modo, “You mean I can decide their lives?”

Seeing that Chu Nan was tempted, the smile on Modo’s face became even more brilliant. He nodded, “Yes, they’re completely yours to deal with.”

“Alright.” Chu Nan stretched out his hand to Modo, “Hand them to me now.”
