Chapter 826 - Finish! (2/2)

Meanwhile, on a mound deep within the Windless Zone, a man who had been sitting cross-legged, stood up slowly. Beside him stood a graceful woman in black combat attire.

“Let’s go, we’ve obtained it,” the man announced with a look of victory.

“Yes, my lord!” the woman replied, but her expression was puzzled.

“If you want to say anything, just say it. After all, I am your master,” the man said, the smile on his face didn’t wane at all.

“My lord, you obviously could kill them and take away the completed worm king. Why did you show mercy?” the woman voiced her doubt.

“Don’t talk nonsense, I never have any mercy. The replica version of the golden corpse is still in the research phase. That was already their strongest combat power,” the man ‘corrected’ the woman’s statement as the smile on his face deepened. He walked to her and whispered to her ear, “Besides, do you really want me to kill your lovely students?”

The woman was stunned. When she came to her senses, the man had already walked far.

“You guys have really grown.” Unable to suppress the fluctuation in her heart, tears slid down from the woman’s eyes. Then, she turned and left…

Half a month later, in the Windlove city lord’s mansion.

“Are you guys leaving?” Min Xizi sorrowfully looked at the table full of people.

“Well, we’ve dealt with everything here,” replied Bai Xiaofei as he stuffed food into his mouth like he hadn’t eaten for decades.

“Don’t talk as if you did everything. You only woke up this morning, okay?” Tan Xin rolled her eyes.

Seizing the opportunity of that war with the All-Around Merchant Group, Tan Xin conveniently did a huge clean-up in Windlove. First, she eliminated the remnants of Unify and All-Around and took over their economic influence. Then, she carried out a series of measures and gained control over all the loners.

Windlove City had been lawless in the past, but now, it had a solid rule: ‘The city can protect you, and you can do what you want here. However, as long as the city lord gives an order, you have to obey no matter who you are!’

Tan Xin had lost count of how many citizens, who were dissatisfied with this new rule, that she had dealt with during the past two weeks. In the end, everyone succumbed to her absolute violence.

“Let’s not get too deep into details, alright? It’s rare for everyone to be in such a good mood.” Bai Xiaofei laughed it off and turned to Fang Ye. “Say, how are you going to plead this time? I asked you to call those people over, but I never got to see what they looked like even until the battle ended.”

Facing Bai Xiaofei’s questioning, Fang Ye chose to play dumb.

“They’ve contributed a great deal during the past days. However, before you woke up, they were summoned back by Brother Feng. They wanted to meet you, really.” Fang Ye successfully glossed it over. Otherwise, if the topic continued, his salary might go down…

“Alright, forget it. Let’s get to business,” Bai Xiaofei said and stood up, extremely formal as he raised his glass.

Seeing this, the whole table followed and stood up with complicated expressions. Although the time they had spent in Windlove was long, no one could deny that they had developed feelings for this place where they had fought so hard.

“Blood Diamond mission, complete!” Bai Xiaofei declared and drained his glass.

The group who were waiting for him to deliver a speech shook their heads one by one. So there are actually times when you don’t know what to say, huh?
