Chapter 2005: Chapter 2005: Unreasonably Overbearing
"Is this how you talk to me?"
The emissary glared at Long Qie, his tone decidedly unfriendly as he asked.
Even though everyone around him exuded hostility and murderous intent towards him, he showed not even the slightest hint of concern or fear.
Upon hearing this, Long Qie sneered and said, "Or what? Who do you think you are? You come here expecting us to wine and dine you?"
Damn!
The emissary couldn’t help but curse, his face darkening as he said, "You’d better watch your attitude, don’t forget, your Lord Netherworld is still in the hands of Lord Gabriel!"
"Offend me, and you’ll all have a hard time!"
Upon hearing this threat, everyone’s expression changed drastically.
Even Long Qie’s face faintly showed a trace of discomfort.
This was not because of Gabriel, but because of Hades. Just as the emissary said, Hades is currently in Gabriel’s hands; if Gabriel is angered and kills Hades, then everything would be truly over!
Thinking of this, aside from anger, everyone felt a deep sense of helplessness.
Although everyone wanted to kill the emissary to vent their anger, they had to admit that not only could they not kill the emissary before them, but they couldn’t even rebuke him.
Sensing the shift in their demeanor, the emissary felt increasingly smug.
No wonder there’s a saying about using a fox to fake a tiger’s might; the feeling of using others to bolster oneself truly is quite satisfying!
The emissary showed a hint of defiance and then, like an ancient king patrolling his territory, arrogantly said, "Why is it just you? Where’s Xiao Zheng? Have him come out to see me."
This guy is truly arrogant beyond measure, not only dismissing Long Qie and the others but even daring to address Xiao Zheng by name.
"Evil Eyes, make sure to hold me back later. I’m afraid I won’t be able to resist and crush him!" Titan said through gritted teeth to Evil Eyes beside him.
However, Evil Eyes did not respond, his cold gaze fixed on the emissary.
As for his hands, they were already clenched into fists.
Long Qie sensed the atmosphere among his team, sighed inwardly, and silently shook his head at Evil Eyes and the others, signaling them to remain calm. Then, he looked at the emissary and said, "Mr. Xiao is still in seclusion. You can stay in the city for now; he should be able to meet you tomorrow."
The emissary sneered upon hearing this, saying, "Seclusion? Ha, trying to catch a break at the last minute won’t help. Even if he secluded himself for ten thousand years, he wouldn’t be a match for the great Lord Gabriel!"
When he spoke of Gabriel, his eyes became fervent.
Undoubtedly, this was a devout and fanatical follower of the Bright Church.
Long Qie and the others were speechless for a moment, silently reciting the Calming Incantation in their hearts, afraid they couldn’t resist the urge to attack this guy.
After sweeping his disdainful gaze over everyone, the emissary spoke, "My time is tight, so you must quickly let Xiao Zheng come to see me! I’m leaving tonight, and if I haven’t seen Xiao Zheng before I leave, you can prepare to collect your Lord Netherworld’s corpse!"
"Now, arrange a room for me immediately; I need to rest."
Feeling his arrogance, Long Qie almost ground his molars in anger.
But in the end, he held back, called over a waiter, and prepared to have them take the emissary to rest. Today was undoubtedly the most humiliating day of their lives, and yet they had no way to deal with the emissary.
After all, Hades’ life was still in the other’s hands.
The waiter led the way, and the emissary walked forward proudly.
As he passed by Titan, who hadn’t made way, he directly pushed Titan aside. This action almost provoked an attack from everyone. Fortunately, Long Qie and Brent stopped them in time, or a bloody incident would have occurred.
"What a bunch of losers."
The emissary raised his middle finger towards Long Qie and the others, then followed the waiter, laughing triumphantly.
Their hearts were filled with suppressed anger at his provocation.
As the emissary followed the waiter to the elevator, the elevator doors suddenly opened.
Everyone couldn’t help but glance inside the elevator, and this glance left them stunned!
Xiao Zheng!
It was actually Xiao Zheng!
The person who appeared in the elevator was Xiao Zheng, who had been secluded for seven days!
His face had returned to normal, and his aura was even stronger than before!
"What are you doing? Hurry up and get out! Don’t block my way!"
The emissary didn’t recognize Xiao Zheng, scolding with a frown.
After hearing this, Xiao Zheng couldn’t help but wrinkle his brow, then spoke, "I sense a stench on you that I find disgusting. Are you sent by Gabriel?"
Upon hearing this, the emissary immediately stopped, seriously looking him over: "That’s right. How did you know? Could it be, you’re Evil God Xiao Zheng?"
Xiao Zheng did not reply, his silence serving as a response.
The emissary then sneered, a trace of disdain in his eyes: "I thought you’d stay hiding like a turtle, didn’t expect you to show some guts and reveal yourself."
"This is good, it saves me some time."
"Come with me, I’ll take you to see Lord Gabriel."
Having said that, he turned to leave.
But after taking a couple of steps, he stopped again, turning to look at the motionless Xiao Zheng, and asked with a frown, "Why are you just standing there? Don’t you want to save the Netherworld King?"
"I warn you, don’t waste my time, or the Netherworld King’s life will be at stake!"
Even in front of Xiao Zheng, his arrogance remained unchecked.
At this moment, Long Qie and the others couldn’t help but sweat, afraid Xiao Zheng would get angry and directly kill the emissary. But luckily, Xiao Zheng didn’t seem angry; instead, a hint of a smile appeared on his face.
"May I ask your name?" Xiao Zheng asked with a smile.
Hearing this, the emissary snorted coldly, saying, "Andre, a devout follower of Lord Gabriel! Evil God Xiao Zheng, don’t think you can run amok here like you do in the East; in front of the great Lord Gabriel, you’re not even qualified to be a follower!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Zheng’s smile grew even brighter: "Are you done talking?"
"What do you mean?" Andre frowned, his face showing a hint of displeasure.
"No particular meaning, just as it sounds," Xiao Zheng grinned, then his smile vanished, his tone turning cold, "If you’re done talking, then go die."
Boom!
Without giving Andre or anyone else a chance to react, Xiao Zheng had already made his move!
With just one punch, Andre was obliterated directly!
