Apocalypse: Master of Soul Beasts

”We two, as parties to this gamble, both wagered on this round. Your chip was your own freedom. My chips were the lives of Sequence Number 3 and Sequence Number 5, as well as some other minor things. Fair, isn’t it?”

”BULLSHIT!!!”

Wen Yu spat out the word forcefully.

From an outsider’s perspective, if this could be considered a gamble, then the stakes on both sides did indeed seem fair.

However!

In Wen Yu’s own mind, his life was priceless!

Wen Yu said nothing, merely staring coldly at Lin Haifeng.

Lin Haifeng continued, ”I know what you’re thinking. You believe this gamble isn’t fair from your perspective, perhaps because the odds of winning weren’t equal. But you can’t deny that I also paid a hefty price. So...”

Lin Haifeng finished speaking and gestured to Sequence Number 1 beside him.

Sequence Number 1 directly took out a space ring and tossed it to Wen Yu.

Wen Yu looked down.

It was merely the lowest grade, an F-Class space ring. There wasn’t much inside, just a single scroll.

Skill Upgrade Scroll (SS-Class item): Upon use, can upgrade an S-class skill to SS-Class!

A valuable and handy item indeed.

Then, Lin Haifeng smiled at Wen Yu and said, ”This, plus the lives of my son and Claire, is my explanation to you. What do you think?”

...

Wen Yu looked around. Kuangliu’s severed head lay with its eyes wide open, a look of lingering panic and confusion frozen on his face.

As for Claire, she had long since been turned into minced meat, a heap on the ground, her features indistinguishable.

Adding the skill upgrade scroll in his hand to the equation...

Wen Yu pondered for a long time. He then slowly lifted his head, gave Lin Haifeng a deep look, and turned to leave.

Staying here would be completely meaningless.And just as Lin Haifeng had said, as long as Lin Haifeng remained in Yanjing and didn’t come out, he had no good way to deal with him.

As far as he knew, apart from Kuangliu, the military still had three other War Gods. This meant Cathay’s military possessed three more individuals on par with Kuangliu’s strength. Adding to that Sequence Number 1, who was now with Lin Haifeng for some reason, and all the trump cards Lin Haifeng held in Yanjing...

Wen Yu, though furious, was no fool. He wasn’t about to blindly charge back to Cathay to try and stab Lin Haifeng, knowing the probability of success was slim.

Attempting such a thing, rather than resulting in Lin Haifeng’s death, would more likely lead to his own defeat in Yanjing.

So, this matter was considered closed... at least for now.
