Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Upon hearing that, Chen Xiaobei was really angry. Earlier, Chen Xiaobei agreed to receive the curse and the overlord mentioned that he was going to believe Chen Xiaobei as well. In less than half a minute, the overlord went back on what he said and began to mess with Chen Xiaobei.
The Tie Family hated Chen Xiaobei the moment Chen Xiaobei took 500 million low-grade Spiritual Stones from them. With all the old and new conflicts, the entire Tie Family wanted to skin Chen Xiaobei alive and drink his blood. Now, the overlord wanted Chen Xiaobei to head to the Tie Family to rescue someone. It was no different from asking Chen Xiaobei to jump into a pit of fire.
To put it nicely, this was called the first test that Chen Xiaobei had to pass. To put it in a rude way, the overlord was forcing Chen Xiaobei to bet his life to prove his worth. If Chen Xiaobei failed this task, the overlord would abandon Chen Xiaobei like a piece of garbage immediately and Chen Xiaobei would end up dead at the hands of Tie Family.
However…
This was not the matter that angered Chen Xiaobei. One should know that Chen Xiaobei valued his family and friends more than anything else in this world. Considering this, the Overlord had just messed with Linghu Shuang. He had officially stepped on Chen Xiaobei’s limit. With that being said, Chen Xiaobei would never let the overlord off the hook easily.
“Why are you not talking? Are you afraid of going there? I can cancel this task if you are not bold enough to take it. Then, I will ask Tie Family to send the girl back here! When I do that, you can never move to South Town Star Temple anymore!”
“Can I do any killing?”
“Killing? What do you mean?”
“Tie Family will definitely try to kill me if I head in there to save her! What if I kill someone when I try to defend myself?”
“Oh… I see now. I don’t care who you kill in these three days huh! I will not drop any laws and judgement on you! However… You’ve got no one to blame if you get yourself killed!”
“Understood! I will go now!”
…….
At the same time, a black shadow walked towards the Overlord from afar.
“Greetings, my lord!” said the person while bowing.
“Military Advisor Sima. Formality is not necessary here!”
The overlord went over and helped him to get up. Judging by the overlord’s tone and action, one could guess that the person was beyond ordinary. Actually, there was no one like him on Divine Cloud Planet. This person was none other than the legendary Military Advisor hired by the temple, Sima Liang! Undeniably, the overlord was extremely powerful but it was impossible for him to rule the entire starfield all by himself. The reason why the Northern Wilderness Starfield was in such an organized and peaceful state was all because of the think tank that was helping the overlord, and Sima Liang was the leader of the Think Tank!
All this while, every single big decision was made by him and there were also some decisions which required one to discuss with him before implementing it. If the overlord was the king of Northern Wilderness Starfield, Sima Liang was the chancellor behind the curtain!
“What do you think about the kid after hearing him out behind the back?”
“That kid is just a brainless dumbass! He would not be able to survive until tomorrow if he refuses to use his trump card!”
“I think you might have underestimated him! He’s the one that defeated millions of Demonic Beasts at the Overgrown Forest Planet!”
“Yes. You are right about that! But… it was not his cultivation that allowed him to defeat them! It was a mysterious trump card!”
“According to the intel that I collected, he owns a painting that is powerful enough to slaughter any diamond-tiered Demonic Beasts!”
“Undeniably, that painting is powerful but it’s not powerful enough to be used to defeat millions of Demonic Beasts! I’m pretty sure that he has another even more powerful trump card with him!”
“If you are right about it, is Tie Family going to fall if he uses his ultimate trump card?”
“No! That kid is not as bright as we think he is! All he could do is protect himself if he uses his most powerful trump card! I don’t think he can do much damage! Remember that Tie Family is a bunch of crooked businessman! With the girl in their hands, they will never lose to that kid even if they fail to capture him!”
“Alright… That makes sense to me! It seems I have wasted time in preparing the other two tests for him!”
“You shouldn’t expect too much from a brainless kid like him! If it wasn’t for the powerful elite that’s supporting him, you didn’t even need to waste time and effort on him!”
“You are right! He’s just a dumbass. Yet, he’s managed to eliminate millions of Demonic Beasts! It’s hard to believe that there’s no one powerful helping him! With this test, we will able to find out the trump card that he has and the person who has been helping him all the while! We are going to own him no matter what!”
“My lord, you are so wise! I would like to go back and rest if there are no other matters. My lord, you should go rest as well!”
“Go back? Aren’t you going to wait for the result?”
“There won’t be any results tonight! If I’m not mistaken, I don’t think he knows where the girl really is! He will be greeted by trouble if he rushes to the Chamber of Commerce without any preparation!”
“You are right about it! There’s no way that Tie Family will place their hostage at the Chamber of Commerce’s headquarters! I believe that they will deploy a team of mercenaries to capture him!”
“My lord, you are right! His fate is set! No need to wait for him. I’m going to head back now!”
Seemingly, Sima Liang had everything under his control. At the same time, the overlord nodded his head to agree with the things that Sima Liang had just said.
…
Outside the temple.
Chen Xiaobei looked for a place to change into his Nightstalker Outfit. He also did not rush to the Chamber of Commerce like what Sima Liang had just predicted. Instead, he stealthily sneaked into the Ninth Young Lord’s place.
