#1536 - A turbulent dinner party (Part 2)

"……What?!"

When Lei Xiao said this, the arrogant Hollis II and Lila were both stunned, and their originally calm faces suddenly became gloomy.

They never thought that a small human emperor would actually reject the conditions they proposed. It was obvious that he was going to fight them to the death!

For a moment, not only Hollis II and Lila, but also the other giants around them all looked unprepared and began to look at each other in bewilderment.

Does this human emperor know what he is talking about? Does he really intend to fight against the half-titans and stone giants with his weak strength?

In the banquet hall, everyone was filled with astonishment. Even Loris, Sina, Old Gary and others who were already in danger looked incredulous. Could it be that His Majesty the Human Race really intended to stand with them?

"Human Emperor, do you not understand what we mean?"

Looking at Lei Xiao's unquestionable face, Lila frowned and confirmed: "We have no interest in the human race. We just want to find the ancient Titan temple, that's all."

"As for the Rainforest Fortress Alliance and the Desert Alliance, they have been at odds with us for a long time, and there is no need for the human race to get involved in this mess. Do you understand?"

After saying that, Lila narrowed her beautiful eyes slightly and stared closely at Lei Xiao's dark eyes, trying to find a hint of timidity and hesitation in them.

Just as Lei Xiao thought, they didn't know the exact location of the ancient Titan ruins, so they didn't make things difficult for Lei Xiao for the time being, in order to get the specific location of the ruins from Lei Xiao.

After all, Lei Xiao's strength was beyond their expectations. Whether it was conventional means or mental attacks, it would be difficult to obtain the information they wanted.

Furthermore, Lei Xiao has always tried to shake the temporary alliance between the half-titans and the stone giants. Naturally, they would use some of their tricks, so they tried to shake Lei Xiao in turn. As for whether they will keep their promise in the end, that is another matter.

"I repeat, I will not hand over the ancient ruins to you. Is this obvious enough?"

Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly, his expression remained calm.

Lei Xiao was very clear about the other party's calculations. Once he allowed the other party to attack Loris and others unscrupulously, his own fate would be predictable when the other party had time to spare. He would naturally not hand the fate of the human race into the hands of the other party. What's more, his goal was the sea of ​​stars, so how could he stop here?

Furthermore, whether it is Loris, Sina, or Old Gary, they all trust me very much. From this point of view alone, I will never let them down.

"Your Majesty, are you really going to stand together with us?"

After hearing Lei Xiao's words, Loris, Sina and Old Gary all took a step forward, their faces filled with excitement and eager looks.

"I've said it from the beginning. You are all my comrades who have fought alongside me. I will never watch you get into danger, even if the opponent is a second-rate force that is difficult to match."

Lei Xiao smiled at everyone and said firmly: "This is my promise, and it is also what I must do."

"Your Majesty, the human race, has shown us kindness that we will never forget!"

Hearing this, the faces of Loris and the other three leaders were filled with tears of gratitude, and the other powerful men in the alliance all had the same expression.

As the saying goes, a friend in need is a friend indeed. This move by His Majesty the Human Race was enough to deeply move them, and also added a glimmer of hope to their originally bleak future!

"You are such a stubborn person! You are just trying to hit a rock with an egg!"

After seeing this scene, Hollis II's already limited patience was obviously exhausted, and his old face with scars and wrinkles was filled with anger.

Originally, according to his temperament, he would have been furious after hearing what Lei Xiao had just said.

But on second thought, Lei Xiao and the other two were, after all, half-step to the seventh level, and they had outwitted Lux ​​and Payton, who were also half-step to the seventh level. Once they forced the former into a desperate situation, it would definitely cause considerable losses, not to mention the death of a sixth-level strongman, and if things went wrong even the top combat power would be damaged.

Under this premise, if the stone giant's top combat power was destroyed, it would naturally be the best, but if it was destroyed on his side, the situation would be completely different.

After all, once Lei Xiao and others are wiped out, the war between the semi-titans and the stone giants will resume. At that time, the semi-titans who lack combat power will definitely be at a disadvantage.

Hollis II clearly understood that the stone giant leader Lila had the same idea, which was why she repeatedly confirmed Lei Xiao's words.

But now, since Lei Xiao is determined to fight to the end, he obviously can't care about so many things.

At least before Lei Xiao and others are wiped out, the alliance between the half-titans and the stone giants will continue. Only in this way can both sides face Lei Xiao and others without scruples.

Hollis II was extremely angry. He slammed the throne and shouted coldly: "If that's the case, then everyone present should stay!"

As his murderous words fell, all the powerful half-Titans, including Prince Lux of the Mad Axe and Prince Bruce of the Void, drew their blades, looking ready to strike.

Seeing this, the stone giant warriors led by the first elder Kayla and the second elder Payton also formed a battle formation and began to slowly approach us.

For a moment, the momentum of the three or four hundred sixth-level warriors on the opposite side was overwhelming, and they soon completely surrounded our team of more than a hundred people.

"It may not be that easy to take us down!"

Faced with powerful opponents, Loris, Sina, Old Gary and others, as well as the strong men under Lei Xiao, all drew their weapons and showed no sign of retreat.

Lei Xiao himself looked extremely calm. He still had 200 sixth-level alchemical puppets and a large number of summoning scrolls in his hand. With these trump cards, we would naturally be able to compete with the opponent.

"etc!"

Just when Lei Xiao was thinking about how to reveal his trump card at the lowest cost and thus severely damage his opponent, an anxious voice suddenly rang out.

As the words fell, the manager I appeared between us and the other side with more than a hundred market guards, and almost cried to stop us: "My dear guest, please calm down. This is not an arena."

Under the supervision of our four managers, Manager I will certainly not watch Lei Xiao and others fall into danger.

What's more, there are eight half-step seventh-level warriors and hundreds of sixth-level warriors present, and the strength of the banquet hall's defense formation is relatively limited. Once the two sides start fighting, not only the banquet hall will be in danger, but the entire Shadow Market will also be affected. By then, his sins will not only be assisting the stone giant and the half-titan.

After all, the Market Brotherhood also has clear restrictions on the number of strong people entering the Shadow Market, and he obviously violated this point, which led to the appearance of a large number of semi-titans and stone giants here.

"Mr. Administrator, what's wrong with you?"

Seeing that the originally cooperative Administrator I repeatedly seemed to favor Lei Xiao, Lila frowned and asked in confusion: "Did you accept benefits from the human emperor?"

"Mr. Administrator, no matter how much the human emperor offers, I, the Half-Titan, will offer twice as much."

Hollis II's angry old face also showed a trace of confusion, and he frowned and said, "Don't worry, we will quickly subdue these insignificant people."

"You two have misunderstood. Things are not that simple!"

Manager I looked helpless and waved his hands repeatedly, saying, "Anyway, if you want to fight, go outside and do not do it here."

"this……"

Hearing this, Lila and Hollis II couldn't help but look at each other.

You know, the reason why the two invited Lei Xiao and others to come was to make the latter bow their heads in the Miying Market.

Although the strength of the semi-titans and stone giants is indeed enough to sweep away the entire third-rate force, the two sides are only temporary allies after all. Once Lei Xiao and others decide to fight to the end, they will definitely suffer considerable losses.

Even if the goal is achieved by then, the same thing applies. Once one side suffers serious losses, it will naturally benefit the other side. No matter whether it is the half-titan or the stone giant, they obviously do not want to be the one who suffers serious losses.

Since Lei Xiao didn't give the two of them any face at all, then solving everything here was undoubtedly the best option.

But then again, although Manager I provided them with the banquet venue and acquiesced to their intentions at the beginning, Manager I's sudden change of mind has forced them to re-examine the current situation.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

After all, although a Shadow Market is nothing to be feared, the Market Brotherhood behind it is a powerful existence that can go on par with the top forces.

Therefore, it is not surprising that the two would hesitate.

"Mr. Administrator, you also know the principle of letting the tiger go back to the mountains. Since we have already torn our relationship apart, we will never let the human emperor go back."

Hollis II hesitated for a moment, but rejected Administrator I's proposal and said with a frown, "Please move aside, Your Excellency."

"It seems that the Administrator does have his own difficulties."

Lila was obviously more tactful. She raised her eyebrows and said, "Your Excellency has seen that we will never let them leave. So, in your opinion, what should we do?"

Listening to what several people said, everyone on our side looked extremely nervous, only Lei Xiao had an indifferent expression on his face, secretly thinking about how to further shake the other party's fragile alliance.

Since the other party tried every means to keep them here, they naturally wanted to achieve their goal at the lowest cost. It was extremely obvious that the other party was always on guard against each other.

For me now, waiting and watching is the best option, because what I have to do is to conquer the opponent at the lowest cost, use the opponent for my own benefit, and use it as a stepping stone to completely enter the hall of second-rate forces.

"In my opinion, why don't both sides send out all their top-level fighters who are at the Half-Step Seventh Stage to fight, and decide the winner in one battle? The losing side will be at the mercy of the winning side. If one side breaks its promise, I will fully assist the other side."

Manager I said the best solution in his mind, and said with a professional smile: "This way, everything will be fair and just."

After that, Manager I coughed lightly, looked at Lei Xiao helplessly at first, and then added: "Of course, this is not a life-and-death contest, both sides can just stop at the limit, as for what you do outside the market, it has nothing to do with me."

After the manager said this, although they didn't know why the former had to ensure Lei Xiao's safety in the market, Lila and Hollis II nodded and agreed to the proposal.

For them, this can not only achieve the goal but also avoid losses, so why not do it?

"Isn't your Excellency the Administrator trying to take sides? There are six top-level warriors among the Demi-Titans and Stone Giants, and we are clearly at a disadvantage. How can we talk about fairness and justice?"

On the other side, Xina frowned, her fair face full of dissatisfaction.

"That's right, I don't agree!"

Loris also had the same look on his face, blurting out: "This is too dangerous for His Majesty the Human Race!"

"Two leaders, the strength of the half-titans and the stone giants is far greater than yours. This is an undeniable fact. If this is not reasonable, then is it reasonable for the main forces of the two to come together?"

Administrator I obviously didn't have much patience for Sheena and Loris, and responded indifferently.

After saying this, the manager withdrew all the market guards and stood aside again.

The manager clearly understood that in this way, he would not offend the half-titans and stone giants who provided him with food and clothing, and could also ensure that Lei Xiao was safe in the Shadow Market. This was undoubtedly the most appropriate approach.

As for who will win, isn't that obvious? Even if the half-titan and the stone giant sent four half-step seventh-level warriors to fight, they would be able to easily crush Lei Xiao and the others.

“What are you doing…”

Seeing Manager I's slightly contemptuous tone, Loris and Sina were about to refute, but were stopped by Lei Xiao who had a calm expression and waved his hand.

"So, your brave human majesty is ready to accept this competition?"

Seeing that Lei Xiao was still calm, Lila rested her fair chin on one hand with an interested look.

"Do we have any choice?"

Lei Xiao shrugged, looked at the manager again and said, "Sir, according to what you said, the winning party can do whatever they want with the losing party, right?"

"Yes, I guarantee this as the manager of the Shadow Market."

Manager I nodded without hesitation and added, "But the prerequisite is winning."

"What a joke! Do you think you, a tiny person like you, can defeat us?"

Hollis II snorted coldly, slammed the giant golden scepter in his hand on the ground, and said impatiently: "In that case, let's get started quickly."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lux and Bruce shot out and headed straight for Lei Xiao.

On the other side, Payton and Kayla, at Lila's signal, rushed over with tremendous momentum.

Suddenly, the whole banquet hall was in turmoil and became extremely dangerous. (End of this chapter)
