Chapter 863: I’ll See You Try That (2/2)
”Fine,” Whack laughed as he replied. ”Since you seem like a capable person, I won't rob you too much. Please use this route as much as you please in the future. We'll only take a small toll.”
”Thank you.” Trivar cupped his fists, intending to motion the caravan members to move out a carriage when Hack cackled as his appearance slightly warped.
Seated on Whack's shoulder, he pointed at the caravan before saying, ”The 60 Zenith Pluggers that you aren't using, give them to us, and we'll allow you passage.”
”Nicely said, Hack,” Whack patted his head while saying.
Hack cackled, squirming as he smiled bashfully, using his appearance to his advantage. ”I was just stating your thoughts, Boss Whack.”
”Such a fat prey has landed. I'm sure you can't gobble that up alone. Let me help you, Whack.” A feminine voice resounded as a tall woman arrived at the back of the caravan, leading her bandit group of 400.
The situation had turned volatile immediately as Whack frowned. ”We just formed a deal with this merchant group, Zuna. You won't get any share here.”
”I don't care,” Zuna shrugged as she replied. ”I'll just kill the lot of you and take everything for myself. Why should I limit my options?”
”Sigh...fine.” After a moment of thought, Whack scratched his head, sighing as he gazed at Trivar. ”Sucks to be you. I guess we'll have to annihilate you.”
”You go try and do that,” a feminine voice resounded in response to Whack's words as the door on the first carriage opened.
Krune immediately felt a dense fluctuation of Godly Energy that seemed intent to penetrate his head and control his mind. Krune grunted for a moment, using his mental energy to alleviate the effect instantly, extending it into a cocoon as well to wrap around the Silver-Winged Mouse couple.
In an instant, the grunting couple returned to normal as an expression of fear suffused their faces. Vardin looked at his hand, watching it tremble in fear as he muttered, ”For a moment there, I had almost pledged my eternal loyalty to her…”
”Her…?” Krune frowned as he speculated, ”You mean… Trivar's daughter?”
”Yes.” Diana nodded, gazing at the first carriage as she noticed the door being opened. Xula and her team too saw the scene while Xula clenched her teeth in anger upon gazing at her appearance, muttering under her breath, ”Wench.”
A rotund figure stepped out of the first carriage, breaking the door upon her exit. Despite her round figure, she was charming for some reason, causing Whack to stare at her in a daze.
”I guess this is the first time I am seeing someone be this beautiful despite being fat. That's a first, even for me.” Whack laughed as he said. Though, his laugh stopped all of a sudden as he noticed the four-legged demon beast he was sitting on neigh and bow its head towards Trivar's daughter.
”Lady Tina, the current situation is risky.” Yuric stood behind her with a respectful pose. ”Please allow me to clean them up.”
”Alright, do as you see fit.” Tina nodded as she replied, intending to return to her carriage. Before she entered, she shot a glance towards the end of the caravan, noticing Krune stare at her in return, unaffected by her ability.
”So, you're Krune,” she smiled as she muttered, returning to her carriage as Yuric began to walk towards Whack. Trailing behind him was Hwalian, another God Core Realm expert from his Mercenary Team. The remainder of Ink Sword formed a protective circle around the first carriage.
Trivar then sent a message to all the other mercenaries, ”Ink Sword will handle the bandit group in the front. Please handle the one at the back.”
The remaining 500 caravan members then took up arms after that. There were four caravan members per Zenith Plugger, taking care of it. Adding onto the remainder that stayed in the carriages, they numbered 500.
At present, the cultivation bases of everyone remained the same, so they weren't disadvantaged that much in a contest of numbers.
”Only retaliate when attacked,” Krune said to Vardin and Diana when he shuddered involuntarily, sensing a powerful fluctuation of Godly Energy.
Yuric calmly walked forward and stood 10 meters before Whack as he taunted him, ”You said you would annihilate us all. I presume you have the capability to do that?”
”Oh, I do.” Whack laughed. ”I've seen a lot of arrogant cultivators like you. But alas, all that happened was them ending up in our bellies.” His bandit group roared in laughter soon after that, fueling them with the energy needed for them to fight.
