Tanner scoffed, "I hear useless threats like that a few hundred times a day. Everyone says they won't forgive me,
but look at me. I'm still perfectly fine!"
Maxcus clenched his teeth, "If you keep tempting fate, you'll get your dues eventually! You'll end up facing someone
you can't beat! Then, you'll be begging for mercy!"
Tanner narrowed his eyes, and there was a dark glint in them, "If I were you, I'd just shut up. The three of you are
already heavily injured. You're no match for the three of us!"
"Another guy is coming right over. With the four of us against you three injured warriors, we'd deal with you very
easily! I'm trying to show you some mercy right now! You should be grateful and get lost! Don't just stay here and
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtwaste our time!"
Maxcus had two other men with him.
At that moment, all of them were injured. Maxcus was the strongest, but his injuries were the worst. Two of his ribs
were broken, and there were many wounds on his body. He would not be able to recover unless he took three to
five days. Most of those injuries were thanks to Tanner and his men.
Joran was Maxcus' fellow disciple and was standing behind Maxcus.
Joran was glaring right at Tanner at that moment.
He pointed right at Tanner and the other two, "Shameless, despicable men! All you know how to do is employ some
sinister ambushes! You're just like bugs that lie in wait in the bogs, only knowing how to gain spirit crystals through
despicable methods!"
What happened between them was quite simple. It was basically a robbery.
Maxcus and the others had managed to stumble upon a crimson and green demon nest. After some fighting, the
three of them managed to kill two crimson demons and one green demon.
The demon's bodies turned into rewards after they were defeated.
There were twenty-five thousand spirit crystals in total. In truth, it was not that big a sum, but Tanner and the others
suddenly appeared at that moment.
Maxcus's side had just been through a large battle, and they were caught completely off guard. That was how all of
them ended up injured. However, Tanner was not planning to kill them at all. Instead, he assured them that he
wanted to let them go, but that was only if they gave him two hundred thousand spirit crystals as compensation!
Of course, they would not be allowed to take their rewards from earlier as well!
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMaxcus was incredibly furious. In truth, he did not mind if he lost two hundred thousand spirit crystals if he lost in a
fair fight, but hiding by the side and ambushing them was just despicable!
It seemed like they had already noticed the crimson demon nest from before, and merely hid bythe side, not doing
anything. It was all for the sake of the final ambush. Not only would they be able to get the rewards, they would be
able to extort even more. That did not seem to be the first time Tanner had done something like that either.
Tanner's expression darkened when he was cursed at.
He narrowed his eyes, "Brat, are you having fun? Unfortunately for you, I've changed my mind! After being insulted
by you like that, I think two hundred thousand is too little! You need to give me three hundred thousand before you
can leave! Otherwise, the three of you will die here!"
Joran's hands shook when he heard that. He started to walk forward, but Lanz, who was next to him, quickly
grabbed his arm.
