Chapter 36 (2/2)

Seeing the scarecrow approaching him step by step, the Sword King’s eyes were about to bleed. He said angrily, “Why? You can even divert the damage of such a strong attack. I don’t understand!”

The scarecrow did not answer his question. Instead, his eyes were fixed on the magic sword in his hand that was gradually shedding its outer shell and revealing its original form.

“I’d like to discuss a business deal with you.” The scarecrow grinned.

At this moment, the Sword King and the magic sword, Apophis, trembled.

Although fifteen years had passed since this sentence was said, to the Sword King and Apophis, it was something that they would never forget for the rest of their lives.

Now, this sentence actually came out from the mouth of the scarecrow in front of them.

The eyes of the skeleton on the hilt of Apophis’s sword shone with a dark green light once again, as if it was responding to the words of the scarecrow.

The Sword King could not stop his body from trembling.

Apophis was like his life.

If he lost this magic sword, then the Sword King would lose everything.

His status, strength, and the respect of the other members would all vanish into thin air.

However, while the Sword King hesitated, Flanders frowned slightly and stretched out his slender straw finger, piercing through the Sword King’s ear.

[Fear points: +3,500.]

The piercing pain made the Sword King cry out in agony.

Fear could not stop surging from the bottom of his heart.

He knew that if he did not agree right away, what he would have to face next would be endless torture and death that would eventually come.

Without giving him too much time to think, the scarecrow had already raised his other hand.

This time, it was aimed at the Sword King’s eyes.

He watched as the slender, sharp scarecrow finger slowly approached his pupils.

The fear in the Sword King’s heart was also constantly magnifying.

“No, I can’t lose Apophis, I can’t lose him!

“I’ll give you whatever you want. Money, I’ll give you money! I have five million in savings!

“I’ll let you be the head of the Sarkos branch!

“Oh right, the necklace! I still have the necklace! I’ll give you the necklace, too!

“I still have my subordinates. The lives of these subordinates are all given to you. You can obtain a huge promotion by killing them!”

The frenzied words kept coming out of the Sword King’s mouth.

On the rooftop, many of the members who were still alive saw that their boss was actually planning to betray them. They looked at the panicking ten-years-older man in front of them in disbelief.

At this moment, they could no longer recognize this man.

However, Flanders did not have the slightest intention of stopping.

His straw fingers continued to inch toward the Sword King’s eyes.

Flanders deliberately slowed down his movements.

What he wanted was for the Sword King to feel this intense pressure.

Only by doing this could he raise the Sword King’s fear to its maximum.

Only by doing this could he completely break the Sword King’s psychological defenses.

Finally, just as his fingertip was about to touch the Sword King’s eyeballs, the Sword King finally accepted his fate.

“I’ll give it to you! I’ll give it to you!

“Damn it, I’ll give the sword to you! Stop it now!”

The moment his voice rang, Flanders stopped inching his finger forward—the tip of his finger just one millimeter away from the Sword King’s eyes.

Although the straw finger in front of him had finally stopped moving, the Sword King did not relax at all.

He knew that if he hesitated any longer, he definitely would not be able to keep his name.

“I…am willing to give up Apophis’s submission to me.”

In an instant, a ball of light flew out from the Sword King’s brows and landed on Apophis’s hilt.

As for Flanders, he slowly turned his head and looked at the magic sword that had completely returned to its original form.

The skull on the magic sword glowed brightly instantly, feeling a kind of joy that was once lost and now recovered.

However, Apophis did not hesitate for too long before giving Flanders the answer he wanted.

“I am willing to serve you as my Lord, submit to you, and never betray you.

“If the Lord dies, then I will die!”
