Armipotent - Chapter 1663: Catching A Thief

Birom’s aura neutralized Vandir’s aura, making the atmosphere less intense. Vandir was ready to launch the attack.

“Calm down, buddy. Let’s listen to what they have to say first,” Tang Shaoyang stopped Vandir. If he did not say anything, another battle would break out.

The Death King might kill the majority of people here until Arion came to interfere. He did not doubt that. Birom might be able to fight Vandir on the same level, but the others would not be able to handle Vandir’s undead. On top of Vandir’s undead, the other spirits would not miss the chance to fight as well.

“Can you explain what happened, Lando?”

Birom recognized the man and asked what happened.

The person named Lando looked at his surroundings, the spirits and the undead. They looked at him as if he was a prey. That terrified him since he knew what they were capable of.

“T-th-th-this un-undead tri-tried to steal my spoil!” He raised his voice, trying to beat his nervousness with his loud voice.

“Steal my spoil? What an interesting thing to say,” Tang Shaoyang smiled and came over, looking at Lando closer, “Did you kill that thing in your hand?”

Lando swallowed a mouthful of saliva, meeting Tang Shaoyang’s eyes. That smile made him even more terrified, “Yes! I killed it! This is my spoil, but the undead tried to steal it from me! That’s why I kill it!”

“Interesting… Interesting…” Tang Shaoyang glanced at Birom. The latter let out a sigh and lowered his head. Even though Birom knew Lando was lying, everyone knew.

“At least make a believable lie, you see. Like self-defense because the undead tried to kill you or something close to that.”

Tang Shaoyang shook his head, “Someone like you would not be able to defeat his undead if you fight him head-on. You ambushed the undead, but you failed in your first ambush. Then you tried to get rid of the evidence by killing the undead, but you made a loud noise in doing so.”

He already knew everything. It was exactly like he said.

Lando tried to ambush the undead to take the body. However, he failed the ambush. The undead was still alive, and he ended up using more power to kill the undead in panic. Vandir told everything through telepathic messages.

Sure enough, Lando’s pupil dilated, surprised that Tang Shaoyang knew exactly what happened even though he maintained his expression. But Tang Shaoyang caught it from the eyes.

“Also, I don’t see anyone but me and my spirits during the battle. You were still outside the ruin when I killed the tree. So how do you kill that dryad knight that only spawned near the trunk?”

Lando panicked, and Birom lowered his head. The Chief Administrator did not know what to say. On one hand, he wanted to protect The Senior Administrators. On one hand, he wanted to be fair with Tang Shaoyang as well.

“What do you think, Birom? How should we handle this? My spirit is so angry right now.”

“You are his Master! You should control your spirit! Furthermore, it’s just one undead!” Ayson tried to protect his team members.

Tang Shaoyang shook his head, “You just made my spirit angrier, Ayson. To you, it’s one of many undead. But the undead is like a son to him. So, are you saying it’s okay for your subordinate to kill his son?”

He was telling the truth when he said Vandir got angrier. But he lied about the undead being like a son to Vandir. To him, those undead were an interesting subject for experiment. He just lost one of his experiments over something for no reason. That was what made him angry.

“What do you want, Tang Shaoyang?” Birom let out a sigh and asked. Everyone knew who was in the wrong.

Tang Shaoyang shook his head again, “I don’t regard my spirits as a subordinate. They are more like an equal partner to me. You should ask my skeleton what he wants, not me. They have their own will.”

Birom and Ayson looked at Vandir, furrowing their brows. They did not feel good about this.

“An equal exchange. My undead life for his life! I need a replacement, and he is a good replacement!”

“You can’t! I will not let you kill my people!” Ayson was the first one to say, “I will fight if you try to kill my people!”

Everyone heard a chuckle right after hearing Ayson’s answer. It was not Tang Shaoyang. They looked in the direction, of a spirit with a thick jacket and with goggles. The spirit kept releasing the cold air and had no face, not even eyes behind the goggles. It was Radiance who chuckled earlier.

“Let’s fight then, boss! Don’t you need more materials? They are delivering themselves to be your materials!”

It was followed by a battle cry from Karan. The three-meter dark-skinned orc raised his axe to the air. He also expected a fight.

Of course, that was the last thing Birom wanted to happen. He did not want to give up Lando’s life. It was too much, an undead for a Senior Administrator. But a fight might break up if they did not come up with a solution.

“Calm down guys. What about if we let the involved settle it on their own? Let them fight, and the winner takes the loser’s life?”

Tang Shaoyang came up with a solution, “We give this Lando a chance to keep his life. Isn’t this fair?”

Birom looked at Lando who had a pale complexion under such high pressure. Then he looked at the skeleton who seemed to agree with the suggestion. He was about to say yes to the suggestion until something fell next to him.

Bugh!

Everyone looked toward the thing that just fell from the sky. Then they looked up.

Executive Administrator Arion was right above them. He pointed at the thing he threw, “As I said earlier, Tang. I don’t want any Administrators dead, not in your hands. Your spirit can take that calamity as the replacement for his perished undead.”
