Armipotent

Roman turned toward Tang Shaoyang, glaring at him with deep hatred. He genuinely felt guilty for what happened to Ying. He did really come to save Ying in case the situation turned dire for Ying. If Lulu's brother caught Ying, he and Lulu planned to free him. That was the original plan because they did not think that Ying would be able to fight back against the four Primordial Ranks.

Things did not turn out as he and Lulu expected, and instead, it put them in dire situations instead. Three Primordial Ranks died, and he was captured alive with Lulu. Now, he was about to ruin Lulu's life. Everything happened because of the man he wanted to save.

"You must hate me?" Tang Shaoyang met with Roman's gaze. "But can't you really blame me for all this? If you want someone to blame, Guild Master Gortham is the person you should blame for everything. I am not too naive to think the council could pressure a Demi-God Rank to force me to show my window status. It happened because your Guild Master allowed it to happen even after I saved his people. His greed was the cause!"

Even though those words might not be enough to make Roman hate the guild, he had planted the seed of hatred inside the unlucky guy. He did not know if Roman could help him to mess up the guild, but it was worth the try. That was his plan, and he did not have the intention to sleep with Lulu at all. He just wanted to use Roman's feelings for his little scheme. If he could direct Roman's hate to the guild, then the plan was a success, but if it did not work, then it was fine. He had nothing to lose, even if the plan failed.

"I am wasting too much time here. Let's leave," Tang Shaoyang was about to recall Avyn, but the latter protested. "Nope. Don't recall me. At least, let me fight the people outside first. Might as well wipe them all."

Tang Shaoyang rolled his eyes, "We need those people to send the message to the Mistovel Family. If all of them die, my plan to lure her brother will fail. Also, you are one of my trump cards, so I don't want to show you yet."

"But he already knows about me. What's the point of hiding me?" Avyn pointed at Roman.

Tang Shaoyang grinned ear to ear. "I believe he knows what is best to do, right?" He got closer to Roman, whispering to his ears, "If you don't want me to be rough with Lulu, you should know how to seal your mouth. I have my ears in the city."

Roman's body trembled in anger hearing that, but there was nothing he could do. He could only give a little nod as that was the best he could do for Lulu. He picked up Roman and recalled Avyn back before leaving the Epic Rank Garden. The plan was to use Spirit Switch, so the factions from the Starter City #5 would wait for him for days or weeks, or even months, waiting for him to come out. But since he had two additional luggage, he could not use [Spirit Switch] for his little scheme.

Tang Shaoyang came out of the garden and was surprised to meet someone he did not expect outside. Guild Master Gortham, accompanied by the other five people behind him. He recognized one of the five, Eril.

"Well… Well… Well…" He did not show any tension even though the one in front of him was Demi-God Rank. "I am surprised… No, I should not be surprised when you come here. You want me, after all."

Guild Master Gortham had a frown on his forehead, looking at the person on Tang Shaoyang's shoulder and hand. Young Master Mistovel's condition was far worse than he thought, having all the limbs cut yet still alive. Then his gaze fell on Roman, who was on Tang Shaoyang's shoulder.

"I don't really want to fight you right now. There are too many eyes, so I have to use a cowardly tactic," Tang Shaoyang tossed Young Master Mistovel to Lulu and took out Mzed, and placed the blade right on Roman's neck. "Let me leave, and I will return Roman alive."

It seemed Roman used the remaining of his strength for this last moment. "Don't mind me, Guild Leader! You have to kill him and save Lulu!" He did not stutter anymore, finishing the words within one go. Even though he was desperate to keep his life, his pride did not want him to live in shame. He did not want to be alive by sacrificing Lulu's life.

"What about if you leave all of them with me? I will guarantee no one will stop you." Guild Master Gortham replied with his dignified tone.

Tang Shaoyang clicked his tongue, shaking his head. "You are asking too many, no? Three of them? And how am I supposed to trust you after what you have done to me, old man? You can trick me once but not the second time."

As soon as he finished his words, he released the intense killing intent and dragon aura at the same time. Eril and the other four behind Guild Master subconsciously took a few steps back, shocked by the sudden intense aura. "Also, it seems you are misunderstanding my words, old man. I don't want to fight you, but it does not mean I will not fight you."

Guild Master Gortham fell silent. The killing intent and the aura were terrifying, but this was not his first time encountering someone like Tang Shaoyang. However, he hesitated to fight, and he did not know why. That was right; he hesitated even though the young man was just an Ancient Rank.

"If you can't accept my condition, then I have no choice but to fight. I don't want to give up on Young Master Mistovel and Lulu." Tang Shaoyang raised his battle-ax and threw Roman right in front of his foot. "But I don't really care about this one. I will kill him in case he gets in my way."

While Guild Master Gortham hesitated, Tang Shaoyang swung the battle-ax down. However, Lulu's voice stopped him. "Stop! Don't kill him!" She rushed over and held Tang Shaoyang's hand. "I will persuade Guild Master Gortham."

"Please leave with Roman, Guild Master. Don't fight him! This sounds absurd, but I don't think you can win against him. Please leave with Roman, don't involve the guild further in the conflict. This is between the Mistovel Family and Ying!"
