160 Chapter 160: The Chase, Leaving Dreamy Fores (1/2)

”Human! If the Demonic Beast God descendent was not here, I could grind you to dust! Do you dare fight me, Spider Queen, alone?!” The Night Arachnid madly shrieked.

”I am not a child to fall for such petty taunts. I thought you were better than this, Spider Queen. It seems you are no different than a moody teenager I suppose. Judging from your impulsive disposition which far differs from the cunning and evil descriptions of a full grown Night Arachnid, you must be a newly ascended queen which means you are only young adult. In other words, a teenager no different from adolescent humans.” Dylan waved his hand as he shook his head in disdain

”How did you..!” The Night Arachnid stared dumbfoundedly at Dylan as if she saw a ghost. Just from her attitude and cross-referencing it with his knowledge, he was able to accurately determine her age! It was nearly unbelievable!

'Heh. Bingo.' A wide smile appeared in Dylan's face which was currently facing the ground. He raised his head and maintained the faint smile he had since earlier, ”That can't be right. From what I know, only fully grown adult Night Arachnids, which means roughly reaching the peak the Breaking Demarcation Realm or at least three decades or four decades old at most, are able to become rulers of a spider tribe.”

Dylan intentionally paused before continuing and saw that the Spider Queen's complexion was becoming paler with every word he uttered. ”Let me guess, your parents are already dead by some unfortunate turn of events and you the only heir was forced to take the throne prematurely. Am I wrong?”

”This... No... But how...?” The Spider Queen was at a lost for words when Dylan was able to previsely deduce her age and her family background from crappy hints

Rian was not surprise by Dylan's accurate deductions. He shook his head and smile bitterly, 'He's done it again. I really don't know how he does it but he definitely can read other's mind just by lookin into tiny details. He's also one helluva' monster himself.'

”Hehe, it seems like I'm right. What do you think would happen to your tribe if you were to fall in battle in today? They would most likely go to the surface without your commands and create their homes here because that is what their instincts dictates. Once their offspring hatch from their shells, they would forever fall prey to this forest's illusions. Without children to grow and replace the older generation...” Dylan slowly spoke with a faint warm smile.

To outsider's, this smile would be inviting and pleasant but to Spider Queen, it was the most demonic and diabolic smile she had ever seen. The Spider Queen hoarsely said, ”What do you want?”

”Simple. Yield, so that you can retreat and both sides will not suffer anymore unnecessary losses or Resist, which will be a path of doom to you and the tribe that your family painstakingly built.” Dylan smiled while he said the first half of his statement with friendliness and cordiality but when he reached the latter half, unmistakeable coldblooded killing intent was shown.

'This guy... No wonder he said, leave the talking to him. When it comes to negotiations, he is simply too good!' Rian stared at Dylan in shock and respect. He was in awe by how Dylan was flawlessly handling the Night Arachnid like she was but a fellow businessman.

”So which option does Spider Queen want to choose. Surely, you must have already chosen a wise answer. Otherwise, how could you face your parent's in the future.” Dylan meaningfully said.

”I... I yield. I will command my men to retreat.” The Night Arachnid finally admitted her surrender. She issued an order through her bloodline's ability which made the army retreat back to their lair through the holes they made earlier. In just a minute, the spider beast tide was gone from their sight.

...

”The... The spiders are retreating?” The large and muscular member of the Ford Protection blankly surveyed his surroundings which were clear of any spider.

”I knew he can do it.” Mary looked at Dylan with pride as tears welled up in her eyes.

”Captain, the spiders have retreated!” The female member of the Ford Protection Squad jumped in joy and even hugged the captain.

”That's a little bit tight, Sharon.” The captain blushed a little as he felt his subordinate's 'softness'.

”Oh, I'm sorry about that.” Sharon immediately released the Captain after realizing how embarassing her actions were.

”It's fine.” The Captain was similarly embarassed. He looked away in another direction while using his index finger to scratch the back of his ear. His gaze drifted to a figure several meters away from them, ”Dylan Ford... He really did have a plan in mind.”

....

”What a wise decision as expected from the Spider Queen. I can see a bright future for you and the clan. Thank you for letting us go, Spider Queen. We shall now take our leave.” Dylan courteously bowed like a royal diplomat.

”Let's go, Rian.” Dylan smiled and glanced at Rian meaningfully. He did not spare another glance to the Night Arachnid and left in a very casual manner
