Chapter 333: Chapter 210: The Tale of The Swindling Couple (2)

The second Soul Fragment was in hand, a pity that now was not the time; otherwise, Qin Chu really wanted to check whether this Soul Fragment contained any clues, and hoped it wasn’t empty like the first one.

Across from him, Luo Meng kept his eyes on Mr. Horus’s expression. Although his face looked very calm Luo Meng could still feel that Horus was quite satisfied with his gift.

That must be what you call a win-win.

Ronald sacrificed just a little bit and then earned himself a large fortune while also gaining the favor of the trader. If that’s not a win-win, then what is?

For a moment, Luo Meng even found Ronald somewhat adorable.

He no longer seemed as disgusting as at the beginning.

In fact, Luo Meng once wanted to try with Ronald, but considering he was just too big and Ronald probably couldn’t handle it, he eventually gave up the idea.

It was clear that both parties were very satisfied with this meeting.

However, Luo Meng still wanted more; humans are greedy, and demons are no exception.

But Luo Meng was actually well aware that Horus had already provided quite a lot of valuable information, and for a while, he did not know how to speak up... Perhaps this would make Horus feel he was insatiably greedy.

During their first meeting, Luo Meng still wanted to leave as good an impression as possible in Horus’s mind.

In his anxiety Luo Meng scratched his head and only managed to look to Candice for help.

Candice couldn’t help but sneer inwardly at the sight: the clownish appearance of wanting benefits but being too embarrassed to ask for them—however, Candice also knew that as a subordinate, she should step forward at times like this.

She smiled softly, her voice enchanting as she said,

"Lord Horus..."

This appellation, Candice uttered with remarkable proficiency.

"The Seventh Prince has shown such sincerity, presenting you with such a fine gift, shouldn’t you give something in return?"

Yes, yes, that’s right.

Luo Meng rejoiced inwardly, but feigned chastisement, "Candice, do not be so rude in front of my esteemed guest. This is merely a reward for Mr. Horus providing the whereabouts of Benson and Ronald. How could you shamelessly ask for more?"

Poor Luo Meng had no idea that, besides the Dorgo hanging from the tree, the two in front of him were actors, simply conspiring to trick him.

Horus’s gaze swept across Luo Meng, whose own gaze quickly shifted to the night sky above: "Speaking of which, the moonlight tonight is truly beautiful..."

Beautiful when you’re sister or sisters say it maybe, but give it up with your burly stature.

Speaking of which, the daughters of Demon King Nag were actually quite comely—at first glance you might even mistake them for goddesses rather than demons.

Horus, with his head lowered, seemed to think for a few seconds and then laughed, "Indeed!"

"I am very satisfied with the Seventh Prince’s hospitality towards Ronald. I really should offer a return gift."

At these words, Luo Meng’s eyes instantly glinted with joy.

This guy’s thoughts were almost entirely written on his face... But it was precisely because of this that Qin Chu chose Luo Meng as a trading partner.

"This time, I’ll give you a special piece of information, along with a suggestion."

"This information is not about humans but about the demons."

At these words, Luo Meng’s face immediately fell into disappointment.

He was not very interested in the affairs of the demons; in comparison, he was more curious about the humans, especially the Hero Team and other top-level experts. Such information could continue to enhance his own achievements and raise his status.

Horus looked towards Luo Meng, his eyes haunted and somehow causing Luo Meng a sense of fear. This discomfort was unfamiliar to Luo Meng—after all, how could he, the seventh son of Demon King Nage, be afraid of a mere human?

After a while, Lord Horus finally spoke, his voice imbued with desolation:

"Seventh Prince, your vision is far too shortsighted."

"Hunting members of the Hero Team can indeed greatly enhance your power and prestige, but such improvements are ultimately very limited."

Hearing Horus say he was shortsighted, Luo Meng felt a bit indignant. He had large eyes and a tall stature, allowing him to see clearly into the distance.

"The world of demons is even more brutal than the great forests and grasslands; the law of the jungle is brought to its extreme among the demons, and you know this better than I do."

"In the world of demons no matter what it ultimately comes down to strength."

"No matter how powerful your prestige or how large your following if you fail personally then everything you have will dissipate into nothingness."

"You now have many underlings and a formidable number of demons under your command, looking unmatched, but it’s all temporary, understand?"

"If I told you that your eldest brother, Second Prince... I mean, the Demon Prince’s strength has already broken through Level 90, reaching the level of the Abyss Four Heavenly Kings, would you still be able to relax like now?"

At those words, Luo Meng instantly stiffened.

On that ugly face, disbelief and shock were rampant.

The gap between Level 90 and Level 89 was as starkly exaggerated as a chasm.

Whether for demons or humans it was a formidable challenge lying ahead.

Luo Meng, currently at Level 87, had always thought that his two elder brothers were stuck at Level 89; even if they were stronger, he still had confidence to challenge them.
