Indestructible God King - Chapter 182.1 Who Dropped This Money? (1/2)
Wang Ke felt confident that the Snake King wouldn’t pursue them, but he was still careful; he carried Long Yu and ran until they were a long distance away.
“Don’t worry, this is Divine Dragon Island. It’s my turf! You will be very safe here!” Wang Ke explained with a smile.
“You can put me down if it’s safe. Why are you still carrying me?” Long Yu said with a frown.
“Uhh, I thought you liked it this way! My apologies!” Wang Ke immediately put her down, feeling a bit awkward. Long Yu rolled her eyes at him, which left the usually bantering fellow in a daze.
“Don’t try to flirt with me, I already have a girlfriend!” said Wang Ke while rubbing an itch on his nose.
Long Yu: “…………!”
After a moment of silence, Long Yu burst out a giggle.
“What are you laughing at? I’m serious!” Wang Ke said.
Long Yu shook her head and said, “It’s nothing. It’s just that you reminded me of a saying I heard before: ‘Any man with lips is a lying jerk!'”
“Who did you hear that from? Such unreliable utterance, and you believe it?” Wang Ke tried to bypass the moment of awkwardness.
Just as the two of them were walking along a path—they heard an anxious shout coming from a forest nearby, “Don’t let him get away!”
“Don’t worry. I restricted his throat with a spell; he can’t make a sound!”
“Quick!”
……
……
……
“Booom!”
Followed by a muffled explosion, a sword strike seemed to flash by, instantly felling a giant tree.
Wang Ke and Long Yu noticed five black-robed men catching someone with a sack; the person inside was still wriggling his body as though seeking help.
“Baaam!”
The leader of the black-robed men bashed their captive, and the latter no longer moved. Wang Ke’s jaw dropped. I was just having a chat with Long Yu! What are you guys doing? Kidnapping?
“Long Yu, there is nothing to see here. We didn’t see anything, let’s walk that way!” Wang Ke dragged Long Yu along intending to leave, deliberately turning a blind eye. He did this because he wanted to avoid the awkwardness of the situation, hoping they would just leave them alone. The act was blatantly fake; so fake that Long Yu peeled her eyes wide as she looked back at Wang Ke. Who are you trying to fool? We’re not blind; didn’t we see the whole thing?
Wang Ke ignored him and kept dragging Long Yu along, “Long Yu, you saw nothing, you heard nothing. Those people in black… We don’t know who they are, right? Everyone goes on their merry way! Isn’t it nice when none of us interfere with the other?” He sounded as if he were explaining things to Long Yu, but it was actually for the ears of the five men.
He thought that it would be enough for everyone to go their own separate ways, but the main kidnapper walked toward them, “Wang Ke, hahaha! I searched high and low for you, but I never expected to find you here! Heaven is just!”
The leader’s words gave Wang Ke a shock, “Who are you? Do I even know you?” Don’t you know that ignorance is bliss? Even if it’s fake ignorance? I’m not planning to make any trouble for you, why come troubling me?
“Who am I? Haha! Take a look! Who do you think I am?” The leader took off his hood.
Wang Ke was astonished when he saw the man’s face.
“It’s you? Effortless?” Wang Ke cried out.
“What ‘Effortless’? It’s me, Tong An’an! Wang Ke, I really didn’t expect to find you here! Everyone thought you were dead, but you’re here, dating a pretty lady in secret? You really have the mood for it, huh?” Tong An’an said with a complicated look.
“Tong An’an, he’s Wang Ke?”
“He doesn’t look any better than you. He captured you many times, didn’t he?”
“But what about the lady he’s with… What an extraordinary look! In all my years among the living I have rarely encountered such beauty. This brat is really lucky with the ladies, huh!” The other black-robed men were curiously observing the pair.
“Oh, so you are Tong An’an! Since we know each other, let’s just leave things be! I’m busy today! Let’s find another day to sit down and have some tea!” Wang Ke dragged Long Yu to leave. Damn it. I’m really unlucky today! A small mountainous path like this can also lead me to Tong An’an, this b*stard.
“Humph, you want to leave?” Tong An’an said threateningly.
“Why? What’s wrong with me wanting to leave? This is Divine Dragon Island, my Divine Dragon Island. This is my turf. I have yet to ask what you’ve been doing here, yet you dare stop me from leaving? This won’t have a good ending if you dare to stop me!” Wang Ke immediately generated a black ball in his palm.
A black ball?
Tong An’an and his men felt dazed, not knowing what it was. Wang Ke had used the Grand Ceremonial Light last time he met Tong An’an, back when they were in the Heavenly Wolf Sect’s dungeon. However, Tong An’an was confronting Tie Liuyun, so he didn’t catch a clear sight of that thing.
“Wang Ke, your Divine Dragon Island? Hahaha, it’ll soon be my Divine Dragon Island!” Tong An’an said in a threatening tone.
“What did you say? Your Divine Dragon Island? Says who? The Demon Sovereign appointed me Divine Dragon Branch Lord personally! The entire island is mine!” Wang Ke said with a frown.
“Haven’t you heard, the Demon Sovereign died during the Dragon Gate Assembly? Humph, I’ve already requested Parlor Lord Se Yutian to give me Divine Dragon Island as a reward. And you? Wang Ke? What kind of a Branch Lord are you? The Demon Sovereign is gone! Are you still a Branch Lord?” Tong An’an mocked.
“The Demon Sovereign died? Impossible! He’s so powerful; how could he die?” Wang Ke said with a stare.
Tong An’an smiled disdainfully. “Humph, it’s useless explaining things to you; you won’t be alive for long. Now, return my Lightning Whips immediately… I can consider sparing your life if you do!”
“What Lightning Whips?” Wang Ke asked.
“Playing dumb? Do you know how much Zi Bufan made me suffer? I will kill the both of you on the spot if you don’t hand them over right now!” said Tong An’an.
“Chapter Lord Tong, just killing Wang Ke will do. Leave the beauty to me, eh?”
“Nonsense! I had my eyes on her first. She’s mine!”
“I won’t ask for anything else but that goddess!”
