Chapter 379

"May I ask which faction you belong to?"

"The Ice Palace!"

"You actually come from the Ice Palace!" Tang San exclaimed in surprise. However, besides shock, his eyes also revealed a hint of hatred. The reason was simple: the Ice Palace had caused heavy losses to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan back then. How could Yu Xiaogang not be angry? And as Yu Xiaogang's obedient disciple, how could Tang San not resent the Ice Palace?

"Would you be so kind as to grant me this favor?"

Miguel burst out laughing: "Give you face? You think you're worthy? Either leave me 10,000 gold soul coins, or I'll break one of your arms!"

"Arrogant!"

"Even your father, Dai Lümao, has to treat me with utmost respect. How dare you, a pathetic little white cat, reprimand me!"

As Miguel was speaking, he gave Daglas a wink. As soon as Miguel finished speaking, Daglas flashed and broke Dai Mubai's left arm. Then Daglas flashed back without making a sound.

Because Tang San had cultivated the Purple Demon Eye, although he couldn't see Daglas's movements clearly, he understood that Daglas hadn't used any soul skills, and that the teleportation-like skill was caused by high-speed movement.

Tang San looked at Miguel and Daglas with apprehension, but he understood that even if he and Dai Mubai joined forces and fought with all their might, they had no hope of defeating Daglas. However, 10,000 gold soul coins was indeed a bit too much. Tang San knew that he and Dai Mubai had both participated in the battle, so the compensation should be split equally, which meant that Tang San would need to pay 5,000 gold soul coins!

In recent years, he has had a large appetite and has eaten all the gold soul coins he had. If it weren't for Yu Xiaogang giving him a monthly allowance, he might have starved to death long ago!

Before he and Xiao Wu left Notting Academy, Yu Xiaogang gave him two thousand gold soul coins as a subsidy; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to afford the tuition when he arrived at Shrek Academy! As for the five thousand gold soul coins he should pay back, Tang San could only say that he was willing but unable to do so!

"I wonder if the compensation could be reduced a bit? I don't have that many gold soul coins on me!"

Miguel rolled his eyes at Tang San, then said, "This 10,000 gold soul coins is what Dai Mubai needs to give me. As for you, just give me whatever you think is appropriate!"

Miguel didn't intend to squeeze Tang San dry of his gold soul coins. The reason he made such a huge demand on Dai Mubai was because Dai Mubai was just too pathetic. Instead of working hard to cultivate after escaping the Star Luo Empire, he became a master of time management. In the original story, if he hadn't befriended Tang San and hitched a ride on his coattails, he might have been played to death by Davis because of his pathetic state.

Hearing Miguel's words, Dai Mubai was very confused, but he didn't resent anything. After all, given his situation, there was no possibility of him ascending the throne. Even if he were to ascend the throne by chance, he had no intention of opposing the Ice Palace. Although the emperor was high above, he still had to bow his head when facing a Limit Douluo. If he offended a Limit Douluo, even if he was the Star Luo Emperor, he couldn't guarantee how long he would live.

Although Dai Mubai harbored no resentment, he still asked, "Why are you targeting me like this?"

To convince Dai Mubai, Miguel explained, "There are three reasons for targeting you. First, the Rose Hotel has been in Soto City for many years, and you've lived there for just as long. Don't tell me you don't know the Rose Hotel is owned by our Ice Palace! Your trouble at the Rose Hotel is a slap in the face to our Ice Palace. If we don't teach you a lesson, how can we maintain the dignity of our Ice Palace?"

Secondly, you are cowardly and weak. You chickened out before even facing your brother, and after running away, you showed no ambition, only indulging in a life of luxury and debauchery. It's better to give us your money than let you waste it on women! Thirdly, I want to avenge your abandoned fiancée.

"You know Zhu Qing?" Dai Mubai asked in surprise.

"We met her when we came to Soto City. She was being chased and killed. If we hadn't helped her out of kindness, she might have died in the wilderness!"

"Why did Zhu Qing come here?"

"How did she get here? And you have the nerve to ask! If you hadn't run away like a coward, how could she have had to face the oppression from her sister and brother-in-law all by herself? If she hadn't run away like you, do you think she would still be alive?"
