1173 Come At Me, All of You (1/2)

The 11 Virtual Gods from Misery, including Zhi Ji, were shocked when they heard Lin Huang's declaration. Then, rage settled into their hearts.

In the entire meeting room, apart from Zhi Ji who appeared calm, the remaining ten of them glared deadly at Lin Huang.

Three of them stood up directly in a stance which left no doubt that they were going to fight Lin Huang.

”Lin Huang, do you know what's the consequence of challenging us, Misery?” spoke an old man with a mustache sitting on Zhi Ji's left all of a sudden. His tone was clearly furious and threatening.

From Zhi Lu and the rest's memories, Lin Huang recognized this as Jie Wu, Misery's powerhouse whose combat strength was right behind Zhi Ji's. He seemed skinny and inconspicuous. In reality, he had a combat strength of Virtual God rank-8 and was also Misery's second leader. In their memory, although Jie Wu's combat strength was a rank lower than Zhi Ji's, his ability might be comparable with Zhi Ji who was on Virtual God rank-9.

Lin Huang peeked at Jie Wu but eventually ignored him. Instead, he looked away quietly and fixed his eyes on Zhi Ji who was sitting beside him.

”I can give you guys three minutes to discuss it.”

”You...” Jie Wu was seething from anger when he was ignored directly. However, Zhi Ji, who was sitting aside, gripped his shoulder.

Jie Wu only calmed down slowly after seeing that Zhi Ji shake his head at him. However, he continued glaring at Lin Huang in rage.

”Please take your seats.” Zhi Ji gestured to the three of them who had stood up.

After everyone in the meeting room took their seats in silence, he frowned slightly for a moment before lifting his head to look at Lin Huang.

”How about this, Master Emperor? I know that you brought your imperial monsters and that there are two Virtual God rank-8 imperial monsters hiding in this room.”

The remaining ten of them were stunned as soon as Zhi Ji said that. They then looked around immediately.

Lin Huang did not expect Zhi Ji to find out about the Ninetails Lynx that was hiding in the alternate dimension and the Nightmare Tapir that had concealed itself with an illusion. He smiled and refused to comment on that, saying nothing at all.

Zhi Ji continued, ”Why don't we make a bet?”

”Pick your most powerful imperial monster to fight me. If your imperial monster wins, we'll serve you willingly. If your imperial monster loses, we won't drag the rest of the Dynasty members into this. I'll send your body to Dynasty myself.”

Lin Huang could not help but grin when he heard he stakes.

Clearly, Zhi Ji was a wise man who wanted to take the opportunity to see how powerful his trump card was. If his trump card was powerful enough, he would not lose anything by surrendering. However, if his trump card was measly, it would mean that he was but a lamb sending itself to a tiger's jaws and seeking death.

Lin Huang did not respond to the bet right away. Instead, he glanced at the other ten slowly and smirked more. ”This bet of yours isn't exciting enough. Why don't you get all 11 of them to fight together? That way, you can prevent anyone of you from being upset when you lose. I'll still be sending only one imperial monster from my side.”

Although the Virtual Gods from Misery felt they were being underestimated, at the same time, they thought there was something wrong with his head.

His changing the bet would mean raising the bar for himself.

”If that's what you say, brat!” Next to Zhi Ji, Jie Wu was so mad that he was cackling. He thought Lin Huang completely underestimated his abilities. A raging fire in his body was rearing to go and was ready to be released later.

”Yes, mark my word.” Lin Huang tilted his head at everyone. ”Does anyone have anything to say? It's best that you say it now instead of backing out if you lose later.”

While they were secretly cursing Lin Huang for being arrogant, they were also glad. All of them thought Lin Huang changing the bet was undoubtedly digging his own grave.

Naturally, none of the 11 of them objected.
