Chapter 507 – Haughty Eric
"You better be careful as well, a young cub might be unable to bit an experienced Lion to death, but once it grows up the old Lion will be no biggie to him!"
It was a clear naked threat that made the whole crowd look at Eric, or to be more exact at Eric's new face with surprise, startle, and shock.
They had never expected that soone who was only in the 2nd Realm of evolution would talk to soone who had surpassed the 4th Realm like that.
It looked like Eric was out of his mind but considering the talent and strength he showed just a few monts ago, it was understandable.
That kid considered himself a genius, soone that wouldn't easily bow his head down to any guy crossing his path.
Not to ntion that he claid to be soone from the Viper organization, which had beco quite famous recently, due to the differences between them and Eric.
In fact, it was only now that Eric felt extrely lucky that there wasn't anyone more powerful inside the branch he had destroyed from the organization.
At the sa ti, he understood just how little importance he must have in their eyes, as they hadn't even bothered to properly retaliate against him.
Well since they were so powerful, they surely wouldn't care if he just created a few more problems for them, would they?
It was precisely for that reason, that Eric was using that haughty attitude. He wanted to present himself as a haughty Young Master with a strong background, and not afraid to use it.
He could do as far as to threaten an expert that was two levels above his own, without caring about the consequences.
But it was precisely this type of attitude that made the experts around him not doubt his background and situation.
After all, what kind of lonely loser would dare to not only claim that he belonged to a powerful organization, but also act like that in front of a Master of Realm 4 like Tegen.
The man himself was extrely displeased and angry with the situation, as he hadn't expected such a reaction.
He thought that with his strength and reputation he was already showing tolerance and greatness by not following this matter further.
To think that this brat would not only not appreciate his effort but would actually throw gunpowder to the fire.
At the sa ti, his attitude convinced him even more that this guy was truly part of that infamous organization, so he could only look at this situation with complicated thoughts.
It was clear that if he decided to act against this kid and used all the power in his hands at the mont, including his underlings, he had an 80-85% confidence of killing Eric.
The problem was what happened after that. If Eric was truly a mber of the Viper organization, and such a talented Young Master at that, they would surely not let this pass.
Even though he was strong and had quite the standing in his current organization he didn't have the confidence that his organization would choose him over their survival.
So, most probably he would be left to face the wrath of the Viper organization by himself, which was clearly not sothing he could take.
Thinking up to here, he could only lower his head and allow this to slide, despite the fierce face slap this would be.
"Hmph~! The little cub has to grow up before he thinks of fighting the Lion King!"
Saying that he didn't linger any longer there as he started to follow the golden eyeball bead once again.
Monk Tao and the rest of the spectators just watched the show with complicated expressions, but soon they did the sa by following behind him.
Eric and the two beauties didn't linger there for much ti either, they imdiately followed the crowd, as Eric embraced their waists with an arrogant and cocky attitude.
If the two beauties were in their real faces, and bodies he would have imdiately turned into the crowd's enemy.
But they weren't! In fact, their current faces, and bodies made most of the people close to them feel like they were about to vomit.
Just what kind of weird fetishes did this little bastard have to actually act and treat those two ugly won like that.
One could say that many n's real face was revealed when their partner lost their beauty, while the won's real face was revealed when the guy lost his power and money.
Right now, the two beautiful angels Takeshiba Aika, and Ice could finally prove the accuracy and truthiness of those expressions.
When their real faces were revealed n would act like starving wolfs and look at them as if they were about to devour them whole, but now they were being looked at with disgust, and anger.
It felt like being ugly was a cri, and a really heavy one at that, as they could only be ranked behind Eric for being the crowd's enemy and anger feeder.
Eric didn't care about the thoughts, looks, or expressions of the people around him. He knew the real beauty of these two, and also he knew about the insides of their hearts.
No matter how beautiful a snake is, no one dares to place them in their chests as it would most probably bite at the first chance it gets.
Similarly, a beautiful woman without a good heart should be never accepted into one's life, as its poison will be not only deadly but also detrintal.
Soon, the group reached the golden eye bead, only to see it revolving around the sa place that they had been when they started which made quite a few people displeased.
'What the hell is going on, weren't we here when we started!?'
'Is this so kind of hoax!?'
'Is that old monk trying to deceive us? But it doesn't look like that!'
'I don't know about that, but I am sure that he has sothing to do with this!'
Differently from the crowd that only dared to talk in whispers, Tegen didn't fear the old Monk Tao, as he asked in a serious and solemn tone,
"What's going here, Monk Tao? Are you trying t play with us? Has he already bought your loyalty?"
"What crap are you talking Tegen, the only thing that can buy my loyalty is that 500 million dollars bounty on his head.
According to the golden bead, he has been here more than once. Furthermore, knowing his thods I wouldn't be surprised if he ca here in order to confuse us!
It certainly wouldn't be the first ti that he has appeared and left without anyone noticing!"
No matter how much Tegen wanted to catch Monk Tao in bla, in order to take off that 5% of his, he couldn't refute Monk Tao's words either.
Eric's escape was extrely weird and unprecedented. The fact that he had escaped under the nose of Takeshiba Family Ancestor, Two Snakes, the Elder from Council of Five, and Young Master Red was great proof of that ability.
That placed him in quite the damned situation, he didn't know what to do or how to react, as he asked Monk Tao in a weird and solemn tone,
"What do you suggest we do now Monk Tao?"
"I think that the best choice right now is to separate into two groups, one stays here and sees if he will appear again in this place, while the second group follows behind the Golden Bed."
After thinking for a while Monk Tao gave this solution which imdiately caused quite deep and different reactions from the group.
So were surprised and agreed with the solution proposed, while most were angry and disapproved of it.
These guys were mostly those that were too weak to go against Eric personally and were thinking to use the group to take benefits from muddled waters.
With two Masters of Realm 4 in their ranks they should have been fairly safe, but now with the two Masters, and the rest of the group in danger of getting separated they didn't like the idea in the least.
Unfortunately, no one cared about their opinion, as in the eyes of Monk Tao or Master Tegen they were nothing more than free cannon fodder.
This would halve their cannon fodder, but at the sa ti, this was an opportunity to get the full bounty and reward for themselves.
While there were dangers in this plan as well, the benefits clearly surpassed that danger as they cared more about the money than the lives of the cannon fodder.
Both Realm 4 Masters had co behind Eric's traces even though they fully knew and understood the dangers. They had selected their underlings knowing that so of them would perish in this mission.
On the other hand, the hidden star of the show was just looking at everything that happened indifferently, as people started to choose their sides.
Eric had already understood that the golden eye-ball was following his tracks from the beginning, so he had decided to take care of the group that would follow him and then disappears.
As for the rest of the group, Monk Tao was obligated to follow his artifact, so he would do so, while Master Tegen, his people, and a large number of the free experts would wait there.
In case one group faced Eric and the two beauties, then the other group would imdiately rush there and help out.
These were the general decisions and conditions. As for Eric, even though he would have loved to stay back here, he had to actually follow the leaving group so he could escape easier after all this…
