Horton had the upper hand, a smug look on his face, with his hands clasped behind him, he said, "Mr. Magician, no need to rush, let finish what I’m saying. Actually, I believe you still rember what happened at the Mage Guild in the City of Light. To speak frankly, that was actually our doing. However, because of your arrival, our plans were disrupted, and from that mont on, we took notice of you."
The Cat Woman glared at Horton, her erald eyes seemingly soul-snatching, sending a shiver down Horton’s spine. The Cat Woman cooed, "Lord Viscount, so things are better left unsaid."
Horton chuckled awkwardly, "They no longer have any power to resist, so it doesn’t matter if we tell them. How can they willingly join our ranks unless they are utterly convinced?"
The Cat Woman blinked and giggled, "Then as you wish. This little magician is quite interesting. If he agrees to follow you, let have him to play with for a few days first."
A chill ran through Horton’s heart, and he forced a smile, "Fine, fine," thinking to himself, ’Let you play with him for two days? Will he even be alive after that?’
Ah Dai suddenly felt a warm sensation in his chest, which seed to co from the second Golden Body given to him by the Sword Saint of the Tian Gang. When he looked inward, he was astonished to find that a strand of golden energy was flowing out from this golden second body and entering his silver body. Originally blurred by the severe poison of Cold Condensation Frost and the Cat Woman’s heavy injuries, his silver body regained its solid form. Ah Dai could clearly see layers of purple threads entwined around his silver body. He carefully tried to mobilize his True Qi to isolate these threads, but pushing out all the toxins required so ti. The Fairy retreated next to the Yan Shi brothers, watching the black-clad figures before them with terror. Long-term captivity had left her extrely weak. Although her spiritual power had recovered a bit, she was temporarily unable to use her Elf Magic.
Taking a deep breath, Horton turned toward Ah Dai and said, "After we took notice of you, in order to prevent you from interfering with our plans or even joining us, I sent soone to track you down. I originally thought the Mage Guild would want to keep you with them, but to my surprise, they let such an expert as you leave so easily. Maybe they are too foolish. The man I sent found out about your whereabouts in the Province of Light garrison troops and went to find you. Eventually, he located you not far from Dark City. Rember Vatana? That was one of my n, his real na is Eagle. It’s laughable that you trusted people so easily. I want you to understand that in order to survive on this continent, strong martial force is not enough; one needs a wise mind as well. Yet, you walked step by step into my trap, so foolishly."
Hearing Horton’s words, Ah Dai’s party’s faces changed dramatically. Ah Dai exclaid in disbelief, "What? Uncle Vatana is one of your people?"
Horton smiled faintly, "Disbelieving, are you? It doesn’t matter if you don’t believe. Once you decide to follow , I will let you et Eagle." The reason he did not bring Eagle along was that he felt Eagle’s heart had changed. Horton, though cruel and cunning, was extrely cautious in his actions and would never leave even the slightest opportunity to his enemies or those who might beco enemies. "Later, after you caused a scene at Uncle Fatty’s, you ca to our Dark Elegance Nightclub. The so-called debt was but a trap we had laid a long ti ago. With Eagle and Jin Bo’s cooperation, they fooled you utterly. Initially, I wanted to gradually change you with Dark Elegance’s temptations, but surprisingly, you did not take the bait and even won a good deal of money from , eventually buying this Fairy. When we learned you would attend the auction, Miss Mimi happened to co to , and after discussing it, we decided to put on a play for you. I didn’t hold much hope, but you were indeed so foolish as to actually buy Miss Mimi."
Ah Dai muttered, "So, all of this was a trap; Mimi’s pitifulness was all an act. You were never captured by Dark Elegance, right?"
Mimi giggled, "Of course not, almost every word I told you was untrue. Ah! But so truth is there; I indeed am a Cat Man from the Beast Man Tribe, although I guess you’ve never been to the Beast Man Tribes. We Cat n are not a weak race—in the Beast Man Tribe, we might not be the strongest, but we certainly rank in the top three. The Tiger Man Tribe? They still rely on our Cat Man Tribe for support. Silly boy, you’re just stupidly adorable! Lord Horton, please hurry up; I don’t have the ti to keep dawdling here with you."
Horton nodded and addressed Ah Dai, "You’re all currently suffering from severe poison and have sustained heavy injuries, with no chance of recovery. The most precious thing for a person should be their life, right? Now, you have two choices: submit to or end your life. If it were anyone else, I wouldn’t waste so many words, but talent is hard to co by, and I do hope you will choose to follow . I will count to ten, hoping you make the right choice. One..., two..."
At this mont, Ah Dai had just managed to expel a bit of the Cold Condensation Frost’s poison and still had no ability to resist, but ti did not permit him any further delay. The situation for the Yan Shi brothers was even worse than his; their bodies were trembling, and their rosy complexions had turned ash-gray, clearly struggling against the deadly poison. Gritting his teeth, Ah Dai sent out a signal calling for help from Sheng Xie using his ntal power and rapidly whispered the spell, "With the Dragon’s Blood as a guide, open the gates of ti and space."
