Chapter 1098: Being Left with No Choice

Waves surged on the sea surface as a speedboat whizzed towards Saipan. Several hundreds of meters away from the speedboat was a liner where Tang Xiu was standing quietly on the bow deck with hands behind his back, watching the speedboat gradually disappear at the horizon.

“Do you really feel at ease, Sect Master?”

Mo Awu looked a bit different. He knew very well about Will Art. He never believed that this fella would just honestly keep his word.

Tang Xiu sported a smile and asked, “Do you know why I let that old devil leave with Will Art?”

“You don’t want to bring Demonfreak geezer to Nine Dragons Island?” asked Mo Awu.

“That’s one reason,” replied Tang Xiu lightly. “Demonfreak geezer isn’t one of ours yet. Even if he is sincere to work for us, it will take a long time to test him. Nine Dragons Island is our stronghold and the holy ground of the Tang Sect. It must not be easily exposed before we have become the most powerful force in the world.”

“Then, about the other reason…” continued Mo Awu.

“Demonfreak geezer knows we are powerful. Furthermore, his life is literally under my control, so he naturally won’t dare to betray me so easily,” said Tang Xiu. “I made him leave with Will Art, on the one hand, to restrain him, while on the other hand, he can act as a supervisor to control Will Art. My strength may deter this old devil and it’s the reason why he became my underling, but wanting him to be loyal will be very difficult. More than that, I know he wants to be stronger. I can give him that chance. Using threats and enticement will make it easier for me to control him.”

“Well, it seems impossible to me that that old devil can easily escape from your palm, Sect Master.” Mo Awu caught the gist suddenly and smiled.

“There’s nothing absolute in this world, Awu.” Tang Xiu shook his head and said, “Don’t forget that Golden Armored Zombie back when we were in Western China. I cast the same seal on him, yet he ultimately chose to betray me.”

Mo Awu’s countenance turned a bit solemn. He nodded and said, “The longer old freaks live, the more their selfishness. I understand what you mean, Sect Master.”

“We got the entire Saipan under our control now, so we can put away the issues here for a while.” Tang Xiu smiled. “Let’s go back to Nine Dragons Island and deal with the things there first before I return to China.”

The fast-moving speedboat quickly broke the waves and sailed toward Saipan. At this time, a strange expression was evident on Will Art’s face. He didn’t spare a glance at the four seriously injured men but stared at Demonfreak geezer for a long time.

“Is that enough for you, Kiddo?”

Demonfreak geezer took out a cigar case and fished a cigar from the inside. After he lit it up and took some puffs, he leisurely spoke.

“I believe we’re already friends since I’ve already become Mr. Tang’s partner, Demonfreak geezer.” Will Art smiled. “But still, I’m really curious. Angelo Dolan thought that you were a friend. He even looked so happy that you’d come then, but why did you choose to betray him?”

Demonfreak geezer rolled his eyes and said, “What’s wrong in following an expert? Tang Xiu is a powerful man, and he is likely to have an enormous power behind him as well. That’s why he’s qualified to make work for him. Besides, I must correct you on a fact—Angelo Dolan has never been my friend. He never regarded me like one, and there was only cooperation between us.”

Will Art shook his head and said, “That’s not what I mean. You’re not as simple as a friend for him. I heard from Angelo that there had been quite some confidential cooperations between you both then.”

A cold light flashed in Demonfreak’s eyes as he said coldly, “It was indeed a secret to outsiders, but it’s no secret for me now. I can tell you about that if you wanna know. I’m the one who contributed the most to the research on genetic warriors in the secret lab of House Dolan. Moreover, I also mastered the formula.”

His countenance changing, Will Art vigilantly stared at Demonfreak geezer. “What do you mean by that? Don’t forget that I have a cooperation with Mr. Tang. He’ll be very furious if you dare to mess with me.”

Demonfreak geezer just glanced at him casually in response and said in contempt, “I already knew all along that you’re not some good shit, Boy. Though I didn’t expect you to have a head full of bad thoughts. Anyhow, you guessed right. I dare tell you that I want to kill you. Only, you threatened me with Tang Xiu and that made me feel a bit thorny. So tell me, should I kill you or not?”

Will Art was inwardly shaken. He may still have confidence if his four men were not injured. But they were badly injured and he himself wasn’t this Demonfreak geezer’s match at all. Hence, he secretly regretted stirring up a hornet nest before.

What should I do? Should I just sit and wait for death?

He suddenly felt like he was just falling into an illusion where he just escaped from the tiger’s mouth and now fell into the wolf’s den.

“Do you have some disloyal thoughts towards Tang Xiu, old devil?” Will Art vigilantly questioned. He was ready to gamble.
