218 I Am Honest and Friendly (1/2)
Wang Baole disregarded the gaze of the surrounding people on him. With his hands crossed behind his back, he looked at Zhuo Yifan and Zhao Yameng, who had both realized where the problem lay and were looking at him.
Wang Baole cleared his throat before speaking with embarrassment amidst the painful screams and angry roars emerging from around him.
”Well… Yifan, Yameng, we are pals… You understand…”
The moment Wang Baole spoke, the surrounding people who were scratching their itches shouted loudly at him with anger in their eyes.
”Wang Baole, you're shameless!”
”Wang Baole, this is not the end!”
”Shameless and despicable! Wang Baole, I will never forgive you!” Li Yi and company were also screaming angrily amongst the crowd.
Established grudges mixed with the newly formed hatred and erupted, spreading in all directions.
Zhuo Yifan laughed bitterly, looking at all the angry people who couldn't stop scratching themselves. He heard a soft buzzing sound reach his ears, and he decisively sat down on the floor with his legs crossed.
Zhao Yameng took a deep breath. Even though she had always been calm, she couldn't resist staring at Wang Baole before choosing to sit down as well.
In the entire Public Square, Wang Baole was the only person standing amongst the hundreds of seedlings from the Federation. He turned his head quickly and energetically, looking at the elder and the two officers who were dumbfounded, and shouted loudly, ”Sir, sir! There's no need to wait until sunset. All of them have fallen, and I have won!”
The two officers both carried weird facial expressions as they looked at the people all around them and then back at Wang Baole. The elder, who witnessed the situation, didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Hearing Wang Baole's words, the Federation seedlings all around him grew even more furious as they scratched their trembling bodies and roared angrily.
”This doesn't count! This is not the end!”
”Sir, Wang Baole cheated!”
Different voices emerged, and Wang Baole raised an eyebrow as he looked at the people around him who were scratching themselves. He raised his hands in irritation.
”My fellow Daoist, what's the point of this? I am kind hearted and certainly don't wish to do anything that would hurt all of you. I…” Wang Baole was speaking with emotion when a long-faced youth from the Five Generation Sky Clan shouted at him loudly with anger in his voice.
”Shut up, Wang Baole! These shameless methods will not give you victory. Evil will never emerge victorious over justice. The rules have listed sunset as the deadline, and the time is still not up. We can still stand!” The long-faced youth roared as he scratched himself more forcefully. His eyes were turning red. If his gaze could kill, Wang Baole would no doubt have died.
Seeing how the emotions he had been trying to build up were disrupted, Wang Baole looked over and immediately recognized that the person who was shouting was the one who had been scornful towards him the night before. He hummed and raised his right hand, pointing towards the long-faced youth. Immediately, nine mosquitoes charged swiftly towards the youth.
”No!” As the long-faced youth screamed in shock, the nine mosquitoes neared at an extremely fast speed, sweeping towards him and biting him crazily. Painful screams reverberated, but everything only lasted a few brief moments. When the nine mosquitoes finally flew away, the long-faced youth had become round-faced due to the swelling. His entire body had swelled into a huge lump. He looked at the world around him in a daze, as if he had already lost all his senses…
That scene was so frightening and emotionally scarring that everyone who witnessed it was shocked. They murmured under their breath about how cruel it was. When they looked at Wang Baole, their gaze also carried a look of fear, as his response towards the youth was extremely vicious in their eyes.
At the same time, those people who were speaking angrily previously also immediately shut up. They didn't dare speak another word for fear that if they said something wrong, that their outcomes would be equally horrifying.
”To continue what I was saying just now, Fellow Daoists, I am an honest and kind-hearted person, who cannot bear to hurt anyone…” Wang Baole was full of emotions as he spoke to the crowd. Noticing that no one was talking back, he was delighted.
”I know that everyone is a good brother and sister to me. When we get out of here, I'll give everyone a treat! Eat whatever you want and don't worry! I can pay for it!” Wang Baole waved his hand excitedly, turning his head to look at the dumbfounded elder and officers with anticipation and exhilaration.
