Chapter 137 After the War
"Romani, are you messing with me? Didn't you say that the human's pet would be held back by Asya and the others? Why were there still crimson-level monsters guarding it when I invaded from the west? There were two of them!"
The person roaring at the leader of the sheep-headed tribe was none other than Zhou Kuang, the leader of the Iron Mountain Alliance, who had a grudge against Mo Ming!
He is the mysterious person who has been working with Romani in secret all along.
This time, he received a secret letter from Romani, which led him to lead a group of people to raid Mo Ming's shelter.
Unexpectedly, not only did he fail, but he also lost his own pet, a crimson-level creature, and almost threw himself into the mess.
Upon seeing Romani again, his anger flared up instantly, and he unleashed a torrent of abuse on it.
"Brother Zhou, calm down. I didn't expect this Mo Ming to be able to instigate Asya and Vista to fight!"
Besides, he's a survivor who developed solo, yet he possesses two crimson-level pets. Who would have thought? Could you do that?
Romani was all smiles throughout, after all, the main responsibility for this defeat lay with him, and he would continue to cooperate with Zhou Kuang in the future. Given that he was already in the wrong, he couldn't afford to be rude.
"Tell me, what about my losses? That was a Crimson Purple-level Ferocious Fang Hound! Do you know how much effort I put into taming it?"
"I don't care, if you want to continue working together, you have to give me an explanation today!"
Zhou Kuang simply sat down, determined to get some compensation from this cunning old goat today.
Romani naturally understood Zhou Kuang's meaning, a subtle, unfathomable glint in his eyes, and said with a chuckle,
"Well then, Brother Zhou, this was my mistake. To express my apology, according to our agreement, you will receive an extra 10% of the resources once we occupy this area."
Such conditions do look very tempting, but Zhou Kuang is not stupid. Who knows when he will be able to eat this pie?
He needs immediate benefits to compensate for the lack of combat strength in his sanctuary.
You should know that in his entire Iron Mountain Alliance, everyone combined only has four crimson-purple level pets.
Now look what's happened! He failed to raid the base and then inexplicably lost one of his pets—a ferocious hunting dog that he had trained himself. How could he not be upset?
He only had one crimson-purple level pet left. Although he was the leader of the alliance, in terms of personal strength, he no longer had an absolute advantage in the Iron Mountain Alliance.
If the news gets back and reaches the other two vice-leaders who possess crimson-purple level pets, they might harbor resentment...
This outcome was absolutely unacceptable to him, so Romani had to give him an explanation today.
"You don't think I'm stupid, do you? Huh?"
What I need is immediate reinforcement of our forces. Without the Azure Flame Crimson Fruit as a medicinal ingredient, who knows how long it will take to completely conquer this area!
Zhou Kuang stared at the goat-headed man in front of him, constantly on guard against this cunning old fox.
Romani's lips drooped slightly, forming a barely perceptible curve, his heart filled with dissatisfaction and helplessness. "Then tell me, what kind of compensation do you want?"
"Of course, it's the Crimson Purple level combat power!"
"No way, do you think Crimson Purple-level combat power is as common as cabbage? You just blurted it out without even saying it?"
Romani was clearly also somewhat angered.
"Then let's part ways. I wonder what those two think about cooperating with human survivors? Hmph..."
A cold smile crept across Zhou Kuang's lips as he stared at Romani's retreating figure with a sinister look.
"Are you threatening me?"
Romani's expression changed slightly; Zhou Kuang's words were like a sharp blade, piercing straight into his heart.
"No, no, but I must ensure my own position and interests."
Romani's smiling expression gradually turned gloomy, but soon returned to normal.
"Hehe, I don't have any extra Crimson Purple level combat power on my side right now. How about I give you a Burst Growth Pill?"
Romani turned to look at Zhou Kuang, stood with his hands clasped behind his back, and still wore that signature gentle smile on his face.
Upon hearing this, a strange light appeared in Zhou Kuang's eyes, and he asked with a hint of doubt, "Is it that pill that can unleash the potential of wild beasts and grant them crimson-purple level power in a short period of time?"
"Hehe, yes!"
"Five!" Zhou Kuang's eyes darted around, and he made a five-point gesture with his hand, shouting loudly.
"No, five are too many. I'm short on materials, so the number I can refine is limited. I'll add one more for you!"
"Your pills are good, but their side effects are really serious, aren't they? Hmph, once the potential of a beast is stimulated, that beast is basically useless and has no chance of growing again."
"You're only giving me these pills so that I can unleash their Crimson Purple level power in crucial moments, not something I can have all the time. Two pills are too few, four!"
"Three at most! If it works, great; if not, forget it!" Romani was getting impatient with him, and his tone became increasingly domineering.
Seeing Romani's firm stance, Zhou Kuang stopped pressing him and said, "Three it is, deal!"
After saying that, Romani took out a cloth bag from his pocket, picked out three vermilion pills from it, put them in a box, and threw them to Zhou Kuang.
"Grab the stuff and hurry up. Go through the back door to the underground teleportation array. I reckon Asya and Vista will be here soon, so don't get caught."
"Know!"
Zhou Kuang then left the room.
As Zhou Kuang left, the smile in Romani's eyes vanished instantly, replaced by a sinister and ruthless look.
"Hmph! Foolish human, how dare you threaten me? Zhou Kuang, just wait. Once I've used up all your remaining value, the moment the opportunity arises, you'll be the first one I deal with!"
Romani slowly sat down in the rocking chair, looking up at the rocks above him with a mocking smile.
"Mo Ming? Is that your name? I never expected you to survive this attack."
Asya and Vista, those two idiots, were actually tricked by a human! My grand scheme has been ruined by the two of you! I'm so angry!
Just wait, I will personally take back the mysterious whale skeleton!
Spiritual power! That's spiritual power! Hehehehe..."
......
When Besta returned to the tribe, he was stunned by what he saw: the ground was in complete disarray, and there were more than twenty corpses of his tribesmen at the entrance.
You went out to steal from other people's homes, but when you came back, you found that your own home had been robbed.
Bista's eyes were filled with murderous intent. "Who did this?"
An angry roar echoed throughout the cave; it was extremely frustrated at that moment.
"Romanée? Asya? No, that's not right! It's him...Mo Ming!!!"
It must be him. Bista recalled Mo Ming's expression at the time, and became more and more certain that Mo Ming was the one who did it!
"I will tear you to pieces! Ah..."
All the monkey-faced men who remained in the tribe were killed, and the men sent to raid the Asya tribe have also disappeared without a trace, presumably in grave danger.
Now, despite all his scheming, Vista has ended up trapping himself and becoming a lonely figure.
