The Golden Throne - Chapter 222

Liu Feng turned around with a wry smile on his face.

“It was you, wasn’t it. You were the one behind that huge explosion. So that is the reason why you stayed cooped up in that workshop of yours for so long.” Damascus laughed.

“It might be a trivial matter for you, but for us, we are not bound to Aegon by marriage. We cannot allow such a weapon to exist. We do not want to be your slave. I am sorry, Liu Man. But this alliance must be broken if the method of preparing that bomb isn’t given to us.” Balor said with a solemn tone.

Liu Man did not say anything. His eyes were looking down, and he seemed concerned about something.

“Liu Man! This is not a trivial issue.” Balor raged.

“We will talk about this after the war is over.” Liu Man said softly. He seemed weak, so immensely weak. He glanced at Liu Feng and then at the demons who were lined up, facing the army.

“We will talk about this later.” Liu Man repeated.

“Forgive me, Your Majesties, but this war is mine as well, and it is not fair for me to stand here while the seniors over there are facing the demons all by themselves.” Liu Feng bowed to them and hurried to stand by Long Che.

“What are you doing here boy? It is not safe for you here. You cannot possibly attempt to even face an attack of a demon general. You being here only distracts us.” Long Che said.

“Who is this new arrival, I wonder? Is this the genius that came up with the weapon that was used against us? How about this, human child? I know about you humans. If you surrender to us, then your entire country will be spared, and you shall live a lavish life. I shall also let you off for the offense of killing so many demons. Think human. I am laying down a wonderful life ahead of you.”, Leon said.

Bai Lu looked at Liu Feng with concerned eyes. He clearly did not trust Liu Feng enough and thought that Liu Feng would jump at this opportunity.

“Do not take this offer, Liu Feng. It is a ruse. The moment that you give up the method of preparing the missile, he will kill you. And your death will not be painless. Do not trust a demon to be righteous and live up to his words.” Aquous said.

“You guys have been with me for ten years. How the hell do you not trust me? Do you really think that I would take this idiot’s offer up like that? I am not that greedy, and I will probably have a better life if I take care of these buffoons.” Liu Feng said out loud.

Long Che snickered.

“Now that you are done trying to poach a pitiful kid, why don’t we take this to the next level?” he said. “Dragon Tribe! Assemble!” he shouted.

All of a sudden, behind Long Che, a series of men appeared. Some of them looked old, some of them looked young, and all of them were immensely powerful. Liu Feng knew for a fact that all of them were more powerful than him, and that was saying something considering that he was in the sixth order.

“So then. Do you really think that you can go against us? The offer still stands. You can leave now, and destroy the portal on your way there. But let me tell you just one thing. It will not be easy fighting against us when you are down so many people. Once all of the demon generals topple over, then do you really think that the two of you can hold off any further?” Long Che sneered.

“This fight will not happen here, do not worry. You can meet us at the heart of this city, and you shall see what the demon army is truly capable of. The weapon might have been powerful, but we are not idiots. We have contained it enough to ensure that the army is not finished. It is still much more powerful than the midgets that you have here.” Leon scoffed.

“Then why don’t you go ahead and scurry off to your little hide out? We will meet you there, and we will finish you off.” Bai Lu said with a smile.

The demon generals looked at Leon and Carl, who were bursting with rage. They nodded at them, and the ten figures vanished from sight.

“Thank god. I was not prepared for a full blown fight here.” Liu Feng sighed.

“You are mistaken, child. The fight would have been more favorable to us here because there is no corrupted mana here. But for us, there are certain matters that take precedent. And right now, the biggest priority is figuring out what you did. You have always been a mystery. First, I couldn’t see through a human, and that was the first time that it has ever happened. Next, I find out that you have a contract with Aquous? That is unprecedented in all my life, and in all the history books. Two king spirits have never selected a single human.” Long Che said.

“We should take this to a more private place. I do not enjoy being looked at by so many gross creatures. Is there any place private that we can use for this…. talk?” Bai Lu asked.

“We can make place, Your Majesty. I shall empty a tent and get it ready for you. But I must let you know. You will not find anything suspicious from me, and I do not intend to tell anyone the method of preparing a nuclear weapon.” Liu Feng said.

“A nuclear weapon? A peculiar name for such a destructive weapon. I am intrigued more and more now.” Bai Lu said.
