Chapter 999: Chapter 997: Are You Serious?
Long i’er listened, chuckled and said, “Of course it’s a suggestion, Wizard Richard, I still prefer to reason with my subordinates.”
Upon hearing this, Richard’s heart slightly relaxed, but then beca cold again upon hearing Long i’er’s additional words.
Long i’er paused, then quietly added, “Did you know that it’s only when my suggestions aren’t accepted that I use force as a premise to issue orders to my subordinates?”
Uh, this…
Hearing this, Richard fell silent.
His brows furrowed into a knot, then slowly unfolded.
The mont his brows flattened, Richard blinked, turned to look at Long i’er and asked, “What if I can hurt you?”
“Huh? What?” Long i’er seed puzzled, as if he hadn’t heard clearly.
Richard looked at Long i’er and said, “Supervisor, previously you ntioned that as long as I can hurt you, even just a tiny bit, it proves my strength. Then, you will choose to reason with , not only not stopping but also helping . I want to ask, do you still acknowledge this statent?”
Long i’er was first a bit surprised, then laughed, “Of course I acknowledge it, but are you serious?”
“Yes, I am serious,” Richard responded.
“Interesting, ha, interesting. Wizard Richard, I haven’t seen such a courageous organization mber like you in a long ti,” Long i’er said, “If you can really hurt , even just a tiny, tiny bit, I will reason with you properly.
Or to put it more bluntly, I won’t stop you from doing anything that doesn’t harm the organization’s interests. I will give you the third ‘Void Book’, and I can even take you to a place to let you get a good early understanding of this world—after all, by then you would have proven your qualification.”
“But there’s a small problem.” Long i’er’s tone shifted, “Wizard Richard, are you really sure you can do what you say, hurt ? How do you plan to do it? Are you going to fight right here?”
“It’s too rushed now,” Richard pursed his lips and said, “If possible, I’d like Supervisor to give half a month to prepare. In half a month, when I’m ready, we’ll duel. How about that?”
“Half a month? Ha, it seems you are quite serious, not joking,” Long i’er said with a smile, “Interesting. Alright, I can agree to duel with you in half a month. Then…”
Long i’er’s words were just halfway when suddenly an angry voice sounded from the nearby forest, like a beast roaring, or an extrely old person yelling. The emotion was evident, but the sound was unclear. Listening carefully for a while, it seed like the na was being repeated.
“Yugen!”
“Yugen!”
Long i’er paused slightly, then looked at Richard and said self-deprecatingly, “Ha, I almost forgot the main business while talking to you.”
After speaking, he looked in the direction from which the sound ca, and Richard followed and looked as well.
“Whoosh—”
A strong wind of more than ten levels blew from the direction of the sound, making the tall Arborvitaes sway continuously.
The wind carried an unspeakable stink, like a decades-untouched sewer.
“Bang bang bang!”
Heavy footsteps sounded, “crack” as a few trees were snapped, and a humanoid creature over two ters tall walked out, appearing in the clearing.
The opponent looked half-human, half-beast, with a human face, wearing human clothes, but the exposed arms were covered with gray, dense, fine hair, like a bear. The feet were bare, nails had sharp claws like a tiger.
The opponent’s eyes were orange, like flas burning. Upon reaching the clearing, it stared straight at Long i’er, continuing to vocalize, the aning unknown, but the contained emotion grew stronger and stronger.
“Yugen!”
“Yugen!!”
“Yugen!!!”
Long i’er looked at the opponent, his gaze very calm, repeating the opponent’s words with a playful expression, “Yugen, huh?”
“Yugen!”
The opponent roared in fury, stomped the ground, and the ground around a few ters sank. All his hair stood on end and transford into a Black Shadow, leaping toward mid-air.
During the leap, a powerful aura exploded from within, almost instantly breaking through the limit of a Third-level Wizard and continued to rise, pouncing at Long i’er.
At the sa ti, the air within hundreds of ters surged and compressed, like a giant wave in the sea pressed toward Long i’er. At this mont, it seed like the whole world was pressing down on Long i’er.
Long i’er watched this, his eyes slightly squinting, showing no expression, as he stepped forward. His foot seed to step on transparent glass, rising step by step, and when he took the last step, he was level with the pouncing monster.
Then Long i’er extended a hand and gently pressed it on the monster’s head.
Strangely, at the mont of contact, the monster’s body suddenly stiffened, allowing Long i’er to press its head down.
Then with a “boom”, Long i’er and the monster landed together, with a “thud”, Long i’er slamd the monster’s head heavily into the ground.
The monster beca completely motionless, as if asleep, its raised fur relaxed completely, and the powerful aura it erupted vanished without a trace, as though it never existed.
Long i’er slowly withdrew his hand from the monster’s head, and watched as the monster’s body shrank rapidly, drying up, and finally turned into a pile of ash-gray powder.
“Whoosh—”
A wind blew, the powder vanished, leaving an overwhelming stench in the air.
Long i’er thus simply killed a powerful monster with the strength of a Level 4 Wizard.
Richard understood that it seed simple, but the skill was hidden beneath the surface; this was the terrifying aspect of Long i’er. After all, he was a supervisor of a region in the Truth Society, and his strength was certainly formidable.
Having dealt with the monster, Long i’er looked over, “Alright, ti is tight, and business is urgent. I have other matters to deal with in other places, so I won’t chat with you longer. Just rember the half-month agreent, at noon in half a month, I will be waiting for you at the Delan branch.”
With that, he soared into the sky, transforming into a golden light flying high, disappearing within a few seconds.
Watching Long i’er leave, Richard slowly withdrew his gaze, his expression sowhat solemn. Without saying a word, he stood quietly for a while, then also leapt up, flying into the sky, leaving the Green Algae Forest.
After dawn, Richard returned to Blue Lake Estate located in Jialan City.
He then issued an urgent command to Shambhala Uranium Mine: Hire a large workforce with double the salary, increase the number of workers, implent a three-shift system, and carry out uninterrupted mining twenty-four hours a day. Full force to improve mining efficiency, especially for so specific ores, which must be accelerated at all costs. The duration is half a month.
