Chapter 265: Carlos Arturas Attempt (1/2)

Tang Shaoyang immediately activated [Spirit Eyes] and scanned the surroundings. He checked if the old man came with the other people to capture him. However, [Spirit Eyes] caught no one, the old man came alone.

”Don't worry, I come alone. I just want to talk with you,” Carlos Artura noticed Tang put his guard up at his sight. It was something natural since people were chasing after his life now.

'Does Selena tell him my position, or is he following Selena?' He could not think that Selena would betray him since her life was bound to his.

”I want to talk about your conflict with the Church and City Lord. Don't worry, I move on my own and I don't take their side too,” Carlos was trying to convince Tang that he meant no harm.

”Alright then, how do you find me?” Tang Shaoyang questioned the old man.

”I have been following Selena, she was moving suspiciously,” the old man did not plan to hide the truth since he truly came to talk with Tang, ”I am not that naive to believe that she was mourning for her party in the dangerous forest all night.”

”Good, you can talk now,” Tang Shaoyang nodded, for now, he chose to believe the old man.

”Can we end this? The conflict between you against the Church and the City Lord, I want to help you out of this situation,” Carlos Artura tried to be sincere with his words but Tang Shaoyang cracked into a grin.

”In the end, you just want to capture me, right old man?” The old man immediately shook his head, Tang misunderstood him, ”No, I don't want to capture you, I just want to end the conflict. As you know, the Beast Stampede is near, we can't afford to lose more people than we are now, or the Beast Stampede will break into the city.”

”Not my concern,” Tang Shaoyang shrugged.

Carlos Artura furrowed his brows, ”You know, many lives are at stake here, don't you have sympathy for the innocent? Your action has been terrorizing many people, including the children, shouldn't you stop?”

”Then why don't you talk with your Gods, old man? They started this first. You should have asked them to stop, not me!” Tang Shaoyang found it was ridiculous for the old man to ask him to stop while it was not him who started this.

Carlos Artura had a bewildered look when Tang brought up Gods. He was confused that Tang suddenly mentioned Gods, 'Is it because he has the conflict with the church now he blamed the Gods?' The Guild Master himself did not know why suddenly the church and the city lord targeted Tang and his party.

”Huhu, it seems you are clueless what you are into, old man,” Tang Shaoyang smirked at the confused old man.

”I may not know the cause, but I have a way to end the conflict,” the old man took out a skin mask, ”Look at this, I made a mask for your face, and I will let the criminals wear the mask. I will kill them and give the head with your face to the church, and then the problem will be solved.”

”Don't worry about the mask, it's permanent. Once the criminal wears the mask, it can't be taken off by anyone. I spent quite a lot for this, you know,” the old man seemed proud with his plan.

”Old man, oh, old man, you are too naive for your age. Don't you realize it by the quest? They want me alive, me and my party,” Tang Shaoyang was shaking his head upon realizing the old man did not know the root of the problem.

”If you don't want to lose your people any longer, you should pull off the quest. This is my battle against the Church and that stupid city lord!”
