Chapter 969 “A Demon’s Slave (1)”
Once the youth in question finishes leaving the tavern, Bai Yan didn’t start her carnage nor did she attack anyone; instead, she gave them all a sweeping glance of her gaze before taking a seat on one of the cleaner chairs here and began tapping her finger on the tabletop .
“Those who chased me that day, who else do you remember?” she asks the big guy with that unchanging smile .
No answer came, only a hanging silence in the air .
“It’s fine if you don’t say, just that… . ” Lazing against the back of the chair, she stretches out her arm and pulls Dragony over into her embrace, those fingers caressing through the girl’s hair with a sly smirk .
“Those people of mine outside are hungry . If you’re not afraid of them tearing into you to feed then go ahead and cover for those involved . ”
Though that remark was soft and melodic to the ear, it’s the same as a death threat to Wu Xiong . Shuddering, he raises his head in horror: “I… I’ll speak…”
Without ado, the big guy spilled the beans on everyone he knew that was part of the chase . Thankfully his memories are good so the names came easy . It’s not like he doesn’t want to resist; after all, this was the same as selling out everyone in the city, meaning a target was now firmly planted on his back from now on .
“Half an hour, find everyone on the list and bring them here! Don’t think about escaping! Even if you run to the ends of the world, I will have ways to find and turn you to ash!”
Wu Xiong’s heart shuddered at those words, his face white and full of despair . “Great merciful, what if they won’t come with me, what then?”
Turning sharp at the suggestion, Bai Yan had an air of dominance: “It matters not if they are willing . My subordinates will follow you, and when they refuse, they will take them whether they agree or not . Your job is to lead them and that’s all you need to do . ”
The big guy gulped at the impending event, showing a face uglier than watching his own manhood go limp .
“Please lady, if I were to… find them for you, can you spare this dog here?”
Showing contempt at this shameless bastard: “First off, dogs are also an ethnic group among the demon race so your words are not a plea to my ear, it’s an insult to said dogs . Secondly, you don’t have the qualification to bargain with me . Don’t forget, this whole thing was caused by you . As the leader, you think I will let the mastermind go?”
Wu Xiong’s face was now so pale that it’s hard to find any traces of blood on his face . He knows, Bai Yan’s not going to spare him . Now the issue was what does she plan to do with him .
“But…” Suddenly adding this in, Bai Yan’s lip curved into a smirk and raised a hopeful light in the man’s eye . “If you can’t even manage to do what I’ve given you, then dying will be the least of your worry!”
In that instant, that flare of light had died down again . Even so, Wu Xiong’s not going to give up just yet . He’s made it so far in life, he won’t allow himself to perish so easily . “Lady, I will go right away!”
Maybe she will at least let me live if I perform well… .
In a flash, the man’s big hulky figure was gone and out of sight, disappearing from the eyes of the patrons left in this tavern .
“Lady, everything was orchestrated by Wu Xiong . We here did nothing so can we leave?” One of the braver patrons decides to ask after losing their nerve and patient .
