Chapter 144 – Leaving Quietly

Lei Yu walked forward a few steps towards William. The latter carefully raised his large sword until its tip was pointing directly at Lei Yu.

One could see Lei Yu grasp the sword blade gently with his thumb and index fingers while displaying his signature smile. Right after that, an irrepressible power burst forth through the blade and into William’s hand. William’s body suddenly started to shake; the hair all over his body was standing on its end; the veins on his neck started to bulge out; and his eyes looked like they wanted to pop out and land on Minotaur Linos.

The warriors behind William had no idea what was happening so they had no clue why their General was acting this way. But Minotaur Linos was very clear on what was happening, this was Lei Yu’s special ability – the power of lightning.

About half a minute passed by before Lei Yu withdrew his fingers and rested his arms by his side. He lightly smiled while looking at William, while the latter’s hair looked like he was struck by lightning. With an extremely embarrassed look, William did not look like a general who was commanding a hundred thousand troops; his mouth was wide open with white smoke coming out of it. When he glanced at Lei Yu again, the word “fear” wasn’t enough to describe the look in his eyes.

“Let me say it again, you have to stay while the others can leave. Perhaps you didn’t hear me clearly when I spoke for the first time?” Lei Yu once again repeated his previous words.

Although he feared that he would meet with a tragedy if he stayed however if he didn’t do what this youngster demanded, it’s most likely that he would lose his life at this spot. Not to mention that he didn’t want to experience the living hell whıch he had just encountered.

“Withdraw the troops!”

“Acknowledged!” The Vice General behind nodded. Two soldiers lifted up their two-colored flags and started waving it in a certain pattern. All the soldiers then started moving away in an orderly manner. Thus, a hundred thousand troops all withdrew cleanly leaving behind a cloud of dust in the air.

“Benefactor, why are you making him stay?” Minotaur Linos moved his huge head towards Lei Yu’s face before asking in a whisper.

“What the hell?!” Lei Yu suddenly jumped to the side. “You freakin bull-head, you scared the crap out of me!”

William blinked a few times. Who would dare to speak with a fiendgod in such a rude manner? When he thought about it some more, could this person in front of him be… William then finally realized what Minotaur Linos called this youngster and suddenly became pale in fright. Could it be that the fiendgod Minotaur Linos was able to leave the labyrinth because he was rescued by this person? Then how powerful was this person?

“Do you know the reason why I wanted you to stay?” Lei Yu looked at William and asked.

“No… no idea!”

“You should know who Pelagon is right?” Lei Yu asked again.

William sucked in a breath of cold air, everything was very clear now. It looks like this person in front of him really rescued Minotaur Linos from the labyrinth. Now that he mentioned Pelagon, that means he must have met the Emperor from long ago right? If all of his guesses were accurate, that meant Pelagon was still alive all these years. An army general like him dared to seize the command of the entire kingdom… If Pelagon was still alive, then even if he died ten thousand times, it still wouldn’t be enough.

With a “plop” sound, William’s butt fell on the ground in a daze as he stared at nothing in particular. He understood that his days were numbered.

“Pelagon has already died after his fight with me.” Lei Yu continued saying.

William suddenly looked up, a hint of joy instantly lit up in his eyes before it quickly disappeared without a trace. But he wasn’t sure what Lei Yu was planning or what he meant by those words.

“That’s great! You are really too powerful, you should know that Emperor Pelagon was once the strongest warrior in my country. I would have never thought that you sir, would be this powerful! You were able to kill him, I really admire you! I admire you from the bottom of my heart!” William started to flatter Lei Yu. With so many complex thoughts and calculations, William came to a conclusion: This youngster who could fight with Pelagon and kill him, that meant that those two shouldn’t be on the same side. But William would have never imagined that his conclusion was completely wrong.

“You are truly a real bastard. Pelagon and I are friends, and you actually dare to insult my friend?” Lei Yu coldly humphed as he glared at William.

Pelagon and Lei Yu merely encountered each other by fate, and the two formed a bond thanks to their fight. Because of Lei Yu’s statement,Pelagon was able to restore his sanity and get rid of the mind control. And if it wasn’t for Pelagon, Lei Yu’s death would be certain. Therefore Lei Yu had no hatred for Pelagon, only gratitude.

William’s brain short-circuited as his mind simply became paste. His face immediately became gloomy since he was unsure of what to do. His eyes instantly became red, the tears in his eyes were like a waterfall gushing out like it didn’t cost any money. “Emperor Pelagon! How could you leave this world just like that? Did you know? All your subjects have been waiting for your return! You can’t just die like that!”

Lei Yu couldn’t help but be filled with loathing as he looked at William’s face. If this guy worked in his company and starred in a movie, there probably wouldn’t be many actors who could be compared with him in terms of acting. He could cry or laugh on cue; he was even faster than the stock market rebounding on certain news.

“Shut up!” Lei Yu shouted. “Wipe your snot you loathsome thing!”

Lei Yu frowned, he was too lazy to use his own hands on this type of person. After waving his hand, two soldiers on top of the city walls could see that Lei Yu was calling for them. They rushed down and out of the city gates. Since the enemy army had already retreated, they could see they weren’t in danger anymore. Because the invasion and retreat happened too quickly, these soldiers and citizens weren’t sure if this was the time to cheer or not.

“Your lordship!” The two soldiers respectfully stood in front of Lei Yu and the bull head.

Lei Yu pointed to William who was still crouching on the ground blowing his nose. “Take him to the arena so we can see a good show!”
