1521 The Overlord’s Eyes and Ears (1/2)
”No! No! No! Noooooo!” Lu Gang let out a shrill scream, but the Beast Kings were only obedient to Chen Xiaobei and they had no sympathy whatsoever for him.
Ziiing!
The Tyrant Dragon King swung an arm, having fingers like sharp steel shards stabbing into Lu Gang's chest. They started piercing flesh and blood, deep into his breastbone, and not leaving Lu Gang any chance to escape.
Crack! Crack!
At the same, the Python King and Ape King both swung their claws from each side, sinking their fingers into Lu Gang's left and right arm.
Blood was splattered everywhere. Lu Gang's face however, was drained of it, and he was shaking like a limp leaf. ”Have mercy! Have mercy!”
Rrrrriiiiip!
The Beast Kings wore faces of stone, ignoring Lu Gang's desperate pleas, and together, tore into his whimpering body with all their might.
”AHHHHHHH!”
With a final blood-curdling scream, Lu Gang's body was ripped apart into three. Ripped flesh, snapped bones, and torn ligaments hung in strands from the beasts claws. His insides poured out in large blobs and painted the ground a dark red as they made contact with an unsavory plop.
”My god!”
The middle-aged man who was carrying Lan Mengcheng fell to ground gagging, shaking uncontrollably, and sweating profusely.
When they first came, the South Town's Star Temple group had thought that Chen Xiaobei would be an easy kill.
But it had only been a few minutes, and out of all of them, eight of the South Town Star Temple people were all dead, leaving only the weakest one alive.
”Master, shall we kill this piece of trash?” The Tyrant Dragon King looked at him in contempt. This remaining human was less than a lowly insect to them. Chen Xiaobei only had to give his hounds the signal and this apparent weakling would be dead in a matter of seconds.
The person drew in a deep breath when he heard this and pleaded profusely, ”Don't… Don't kill me… I… I am the eyes and ears that the Overlord has planted in South Town Star Temple! We're on the same team! We're on the same team!”
Chen Xiaobei was intrigued. ”Oh? What is your name?”
”M… My name is Wu Guangwen!” The person replied.
”Are you really the Overlord's informer?” Chen Xiaobei studied the man carefully from head to toe. ”You say that we're on the same team but why didn't you offer me any help before this?”
”I…” Wu Guangwen could not answer him.
A nicer way to put it would be that he was incapable of offering Chen Xiaobei any help at all. In a less pleasant way to put it, there was a possibility that he too had hoped Chen Xiaobei would die.
”If you don't say anything, then I'll just take it that you're lying to me!” Chen Xiaobei said.
The Tyrant Dragon King immediately made a move towards Wu Guangwen.
Wu Guangwen inhaled sharply, and breathed rapidly, ”I'll tell you! I'll tell you! I only watched from the side and didn't get involved because that was the Overlord's orders!”
Chen Xiaobei stared at the man. ”What are you trying to do? If you want to use the Overlord to pressure me, at last give me a more reasonable excuse!”
”The Overlord wants to force you into a corner so that he could find out everything about you! He wants to see if you could handle managing South Town's Star Temple, and he also wants to know if he can have full control you!”
”I've already been cursed. Why is the Overlord still worried?” Chen Xiaobei asked.
