Chapter 421 – Sudden Falling-ou (2/2)

Inhaling a deep breath, Fahklud swept a glance around. “To tell you the truth, no one can do it by relying solely on the human world or demon world, but what if both sides execute this at the same time?”

This time, even the calm-looking Augustus and Cheryl jumped up from their seats, and even Fatty and SaintPetertheGreat looked horrified.

His broad black robe trembling a little, Augustus said in a husky voice, “Fahklud, such words can’t be spoken carelessly.”

“Do I have any reason to lie to you about this?” Fahklud sneered.

Everyone was silent. After a long time, Cheryl said dryly, “It’s actually okay if the two worlds of human and demon merge into one. It has nothing to do with us anyway, not to mention that we can then freely enter and leave the two worlds as we please. I just want to know what Sun God Emperor called us here for.”

Fahklud shook his head. “Cheryl, what’s the point in deceiving yourself now? The human and demon worlds have gone to such lengths to break the barrier in order to achieve a final war, do you think they’d leave any forces beyond their control unchecked before the final battle?”

No one said anything. Fahklud smiled and sat back in his seat.

After a long silence, Fatty opened his mouth, “Then I wonder what good idea does Your Majesty have?”

Glancing approvingly at Fatty, Fahklud slowly said, “I think our six cities must unite. Only by uniting can we survive and gain a place in future battles.”

Up until this point, anyone who didn’t realize Fahklud’s plan by now wouldn’t be worthy to be a city lord. Several sneered, and Aude looked openly angry.

“Fahklud, talking for half a day and so this is your scheme. Next, are you going to say that our alliance of six cities needs a leader, and you are the most suitable for the job?”

Fahklud scoffed, “Think whatever you want, I’ll welcome those who want to join the alliance. Those who don’t, I’ll happily send them off. I’m not forcing anyone.”

Aude wanted to leave, but seeing the others unbudging, he snorted and sat back in his seat in embarrassment. Although Fahklud indeed had his own scheme, allying was the best choice in the current situation. No one here was stupid, they wouldn’t risk their own city just because of this little dispute.

Fahklud chuckled. “It seems that everyone agrees. I am truly happy. In order to celebrate our alliance of six neutral main cities, I’ve specially…”

“Wait,” Fatty abruptly interrupted Fahklud. “My Sky City has already submitted to Xuanhuang Ancient Country, so count me out.”

The smile on Fahklud's face faded. He stared at Fatty and stressed each word, “Seems like you don't want the Metal Mystery Codex.”

Fatty laughed and rose to his feet. “I want the Metal Mystery Codex, but I won’t take part in your alliance.”

SaintPetertheGreat’s eyes flashed. He, who was about to stand up, quietly sat back in his seat.

Fahklud's face sank completely, his voice was chilling, “In that case, you can leave your life here.”

“Why, didn’t you just say you’d happily send off those who didn’t want to join the alliance? Going back on your words now? You’re not afraid to be the butt of the joke?” Fatty coldly retorted without a hint of fear.

Startled, Fahklud secretly checked through the corner of his eyes to unnatural expressions on Aude’s and Cheryl's faces. His killing intent slowly dissipated, Fahklud swung his hand and shouted, “In that case, please leave, I don't welcome you in Sun City!”

“Sun City.” Exhaling a long breath, Fatty looked up at the high ceiling. Night had completely descended, but the hall was lit as brightly as day. “Hand me the Metal Mystery Codex, and I’ll walk away cleanly from your problem, or else…”

Fatty didn't go on, but Fahklud already understood the meaning behind his words.

“Junior, I was polite to you seeing the fact that we’re both city lords, but it is you who are seeking death.” Fahklud looked ferocious. “You must not know this, the information that the Metal Mystery Codex is on me as well as the whereabouts of Sun City was released by me with the purpose of baiting you. Now that you're here and making such wild remarks, how would others see me and my Sun City if I don’t kill you?”

The trio watched indifferently. If Fahklud wanted to deal with Fatty just because he wasn’t willing to participate in the alliance, they naturally wouldn’t agree, but if the reason was something else, of course they wouldn’t bother. As for SaintPetertheGreat, there was all the less reason for him to stop Fahklud from killing Fatty.

“Kill me? You need that ability first. Just don’t die to my hands instead.” Standing straight in the hall, Fatty coldly stared at Fahklud.
