The more he thought about it, the angrier Hallett got. He strode forward with great rage and kicked Muk hard in the face.

With a muffled sound, the latter's head hit the table leg behind him. Not only was there blood on the back of his head, but his face was also bloodied by the boots, and even two teeth flew out of his mouth.

You have to know that the pirate captain is a level 11 warrior.

Whether it is strength, which plays a decisive factor in close combat, or the other two basic attributes, agility and physique, they are all quite outstanding.

Therefore, the power of his kick is definitely not comparable to that of ordinary people.

The fact that he was not knocked unconscious or kicked to death on the spot is enough to prove that this Muk is not an ordinary person.

The half-elf, who was a little out of shape, shook his head twice, then quickly struggled to stand up with the help of the table. He raised his arm to wipe the blood from his mouth and sneered, "Betrayal? You are the least qualified to say this word in the world. Look at the people who have been secretly dealt with over the years. Why do you ask me to remain loyal?"

“Ungrateful bastard!

If it weren't for me, you would still be in some inconspicuous tavern, being treated as a plaything by those old and ugly men all day long.

It is me who gave you freedom, power, and the opportunity to change your destiny!

But how did you repay me? You actually wanted to kill me when I needed your help the most. "

The pirate captain roared and hit the other man's nose hard with his head.

Bang! Muke's nose was broken on the spot, and blood mixed with snot and tears flowed down uncontrollably.

But he was quite tough and didn't shout. He just wiped it off and continued to retort: ​​"I never deny the help you once gave me! But over the years, I have worked hard to build an intelligence network for you from Kalin Port to Mannon and Mylatma.

This alone is enough to repay the kindness shown back then.

What's more, I have helped you make a lot of wealth through business.

But what did you do to me? You knew that Eric and I had a bad relationship, yet you let him raise the ransom.

As soon as that bastard opened his mouth, he asked me to hand over most of the resources I had, even including this Chamber of Commerce that I had built with great difficulty.

If you were me, what would you do? Obey orders and be stepped on?

No! I'm tired of having my fate controlled by others!

This time I will take control of my own destiny!"

"Control your destiny? Hahahaha! Just for this? You really haven't made any progress at all."

After hearing this, Hallett was no longer angry, but laughed wildly instead.

There was also an undisguised irony in the laughter.

He originally thought that the other party betrayed him for power, wealth, or some other reason full of ambition and desire.

But who knows, it’s actually for some bullshit “control your own destiny”.

"Perhaps in your eyes, what I did was indeed very childish and ridiculous. But for me, this is something beyond life, and I am willing to sacrifice everything to achieve it. It's a pity that I failed in the end."

While saying this, Muk turned his gaze to Yelnia, who had been transformed into a shadow creature and was suffering and pain alone.

The two looked at each other for a long time, and he couldn't help but sigh: "Ah - I'm sorry, I hurt you."

“…”

The female assassin's emotions obviously fluctuated violently.

But because Zuo Si had given the order, she couldn't speak at all without permission.

Muk noticed this and immediately turned around and said to Zuo Si who was standing at the door: "Sir Sos! I want to make a deal with you."

"trade?"

Zuo Si raised his head slightly and looked at the half-elf who was at the end of his rope.

"That's right! Deal!

I suppose you have been to the basement and know how many valuables and goods are stored in this house.

But I can tell you that’s not all.

Across the Great Desert of Karim, both in Manon and Myratma, I have set up secret warehouses.

Even Hallett didn't know about these secret warehouses.

Muke laid out his cards bluntly.

As a smart man, he was well aware of the principle that a cunning rabbit has three burrows, and did not concentrate all the resources at his disposal in the stronghold of Calin Port.

Now, these preparations made just in case are finally coming in handy.

"Please speak. I'm listening."

There was not a trace of expression or emotional fluctuation on Zuo Si's calm face.

Because no matter what price the other party offered, he would never let go of the guy who sent people to assassinate him.

Muk seemed to realize this, so he did not put forward any excessive conditions. He just pointed at Yelinya and said, "I want to use the things stored in these secret warehouses in exchange for her liberation.

As for myself, I hope you will allow me to commit suicide.

My destiny has always been in the hands of others.

But this time, I wanted to take control of it myself.”

Zuo Si pretended to be dismissive and asked back, "How do I know you are not lying?

How can you guarantee that the things in those warehouses can compare to a mysterious shadow assassin?

You have to know that she killed everyone in this house except you in just half an hour.

Most importantly, what makes you think I would give up my right to revenge and let this assassin lady go free?

I'm going to let her do it herself, sucking the life energy out of your body bit by bit.

Believe me, it doesn't feel good at all.

You can even clearly feel your body slowly getting colder and weaker.

And this is just the beginning! Once you are completely dead, the really fun part will begin..."

Hearing this, Muke's originally calm expression changed instantly.

At the same time, he finally realized that he would fail in the end!

He had never seriously understood the necromancer who defeated Hallet on a deserted island by ambushing, poisoning and raising the undead.

Some even regard them as ordinary spellcasters who are no different from those hired mages.

But now, Muk began to feel his soul trembling with fear.

Especially those black eyes that were as deep as the bottomless abyss, releasing strong malice without any concealment.

After a long silence, he turned and walked to the corner and gently turned the candlestick.

moment!

A creaking sound came from the back wall.

A few seconds later, an oil painting slowly rose up, revealing a secret compartment inside.

Without saying anything, Muk took out a lifelike wolf spider statue from the secret compartment, took a deep breath and introduced: "This is a magic statue.

Magical or not, you can use it to summon a giant tarantula to fight for you for six minutes once per day.

If sold, such a magic statue would be worth at least several thousand gold coins.

And it’s not the most precious one in my collection.”

"Haha, do you have any misunderstanding about the Shadow Assassin?" Zuo Si couldn't help but laugh contemptuously.

He thought the other party would have something good to show, but it turned out to be a magic statue that temporarily summoned a giant wolf spider.

For a planeswalker, the thing that is most abundant is a variety of summoned creatures.

Moreover, most of the summoned creatures on the cards have no time limit and can exist until they are killed.
