Chapter 607 Provoke (1/2)

A sharp green light flashed through Ames' eyes. She stared at Malekith and deliberately said, ”What are you guys trying to do to my people again?”

”Your Excellency Dragon Emperor, don't be so sensitive. Black Star and I just happened to meet. That's all,” Malekith replied calmly.

Ames squinted and turned to look at Han Xiao.

Han Xiao had nothing to hide, so he honestly replied, ”He found me and wanted me to leave Floating Dragon to join Bloodshed Land. Tsk tsk, he gave me some good terms.”

”And? What did you say?” Ames asked with a faint smile.

”Had I agreed, he wouldn't have brought this up again.” Han Xiao shrugged.

Ames smirked, turned to Malekith, and said, ”Hear that? Give up your tricks and lead the way.”

Seeing that the provocation did not work, Malekith did not speak anymore and led the way.

There were still a few days till the party, but many people had already arrived. Bloodshed Land had prepared many rooms for the guests to rest in.

The four of them headed toward the rooms. As they passed through the numerous bases, patrolling soldiers and carriers were everywhere.

Han Xiao had time on the way to observe all sorts of facilities in Bloodshed Land. It was similar to how he remembered. In his previous life, there had also been players that were recruited by Bloodshed Land, so he remembered the map structure of Planet Heber.

If I remember correctly, the Planet Heber's surface is just a small part. There are bigger strongholds underground, Han Xiao recalled.

This time, the voice of a stranger suddenly came from not far behind them.

”Long time no see, Ames.”

Han Xiao's first intuition was that the tone of this person sounded very taunting.

They turned around. A team of soldiers crowded around a man appeared behind them, the man was the one that spoke. He wore an exquisite robe and had a more feminine than masculine face, staring at Ames with a mocking expression.

The look in Ames' eyes slightly changed when she saw this person. ”Carroll.”

Carroll's unrestrained eyes scanned Ames' gorgeous face, snow-white neck, flat abdomen, and her thin, long legs, sizing her up fearlessly. He snickered and said, ”I left Floating Dragon so long ago, but you're still as beautiful as before.”

Ames' face was cold and indifferent.

Han Xiao noticed Ames' abnormal reaction; it seemed like her relationship with this guy named Carroll was unusual. He turned and glanced at Malekith and saw the rubbernecking expression on this broken horn Demon's face.

I see, Carroll is Ames' ex-subordinate… Han Xiao realized.

If Carroll had resigned normally, Ames would not have said anything. Instead, Carroll had openly deserted and joined Bloodshed Land with a high profile. He had even given away some of Floating Dragon's technological secrets and their map structure. Plus, he was now in a high position. To Ames, this was no doubt a betrayal. She felt hostile toward Bloodshed Land, even more so toward Carroll. Back then, when she battled toward Planet Heber, she had most likely had another goal—to kill Carroll. Only, she had been stopped by the Tyrant.

The truth was just as Han Xiao speculated; Ames and her old subordinate Carroll had become enemies long ago.

”To dare come and look for me, are you tired of living?” Ames said coldly.

Carroll had the Tyrant to rely on, so he was confident and unafraid. With a derisive smile, he said, ”This is Bloodshed Land's headquarters. What, do you want to kill the Tyrant's logistics manager here? By the way, I heard you found an insect to replace my position. Hehe, you have quite a heavy taste.”

With an expressionless face, Ames started to get intense.

Hila and Aurora noticed that the atmosphere was not right and became alert.

However, Carroll did not hold back at all. It was clear that he had come just to provoke them. He turned to look at Han Xiao and casually said, ”Black Star? So, you're Ames' new officer? I can be considered your senior, do you want some advice and tips?”

”Tips?” Han Xiao raised his eyebrows. He was just standing aside and did not speak, but unexpectedly, Carroll spoke to him.

”That's right, I know her very well, and I have a feeling you need my guidance.” Carroll shrugged and mocked, ”After all, you like being her pet—shouldn't you know what your master likes?”

”Wow, this is the first time I've met someone who's even more of an ass than me.” Han Xiao could not hold back his laughter. ”Pal, do you sometimes have like punching yourself in the face when you look into a mirror?”
