Chapter 997 Option ADC
After leaving the shop, Li Xuan asked Li Benyu, "Brother Li, if it's convenient, could you tell me what's going on with Joseph?"
"This..." Li Benyu hesitated.
Li Benyi said angrily, "What can't be said? That Joseph is an ungrateful person."
After Li Benyi's explanation, Zhou Wen and the others finally knew the details of the matter.
Just as they guessed, Joseph's mother and Li Benyu's wife were sisters. Later, when Joseph was twelve or thirteen years old, their parents entered a dimensional realm and never came back, and Joseph became an orphan.
So Li Benyu and his wife adopted Joseph. Although they couldn't take the same care of him as they did of Li Benyi, they tried their best to take care of him, ensuring he had enough food and clothing, and also provided him with various resources and opportunities.
Joseph appeared to be very respectful to them and even helped run the factory when he grew up. However, who knew that he was secretly doing something tricky, causing a lot of funds in the factory to disappear and almost causing the factory to go bankrupt.
Only then did Li Benyu suspect Joseph and find out the problem. If it weren't for the sake of his deceased mother, it would have been enough to send him to jail.
As for the details, Li Benyi did not say much, but it can be heard that Joseph must have done more than just this one thing. Now he even wants to take their mythical companion egg, which is simply shameless.
Li Xuan and Zhou Wen were both stunned. They couldn't believe that there were such people in the world.
They didn't just hear this from hearsay; they saw Joseph's true face with their own eyes today. No wonder Li Benyi hated him so much.
"Such a person is actually favored by the guardian. It seems that the guardian's selection criteria are not very good." Li Xuan said.
Li Benyi curled her lips and said, "Do you know what Joseph's guardian is called? His name is Lie."
"The guardian ranked fourteenth?" Li Xuan and Zhou Wen immediately thought of the guardians on the leaderboard.
"Yes, although Joseph never revealed the name of his guardian, he couldn't hide it now that it was on the list. I guess he must have obtained this guardian in the maze of lies. It's obvious that neither Joseph nor his guardian are good people, just looking for the right person." Li Benyi said.
Zhou Wen had heard about the dimensional realm of the Maze of Lies from Sadie and the others before. It was a very famous dimensional realm near the Frost City.
In the maze of lies, you are absolutely not allowed to tell the truth. Once you tell the truth, you will be killed by the forbidden power of the maze of lies. Therefore, humans who enter the maze will generally seal their mouths and not allow themselves to speak, so as not to trigger the forbidden power.
After all, it is impossible for an ordinary human being to not tell a single truth.
"Dad, why did you stop Zhou Wen just now? Let Zhou Wen use Tyrant Behemoth and Tai Sui to defeat him and see how arrogant he can be." Li Benyi said.
"After all, he has a guardian with him, so don't bother with him too much." Li Benyu was actually afraid that Zhou Wen would get hurt.
While Tyrant Behemoth and Tai Sui might be powerful, as Joseph said, people nowadays think Guardians are invincible and companion pets are simply no match for them. Otherwise, why would every Guardian on the list be ranked at the top? No companion pet could surpass those Guardians in ranking.
That's why Li Benyu stopped it in time to prevent Zhou Wen and the others from being hurt by the guardian.
"So what if he's the guardian? A Tyrant Behemoth can defeat him, not to mention Tai Sui." Li Benyi said.
"So in your minds, my guardian is so weak. No wonder you, uncle, refused to lend me the companion egg. It turns out you look down on my guardian." Joseph had caught up with him at some point and heard what Li Benyi said.
"Xiaoyi was just saying that casually. Don't take children's words seriously." Li Benyu had no choice but to say.
"No, Xiaoyi has a huge misunderstanding about me and my guardian. It seems I must clear this misunderstanding." Joseph looked at Li Benyi and said, "Xiaoyi, since you think his companion pet is stronger than my guardian, how about we make a bet? Let him fight me. If he wins, it proves that everything you said is correct, and I will never mention borrowing the companion egg again. If he loses, how about you lend me your companion egg?"
Joseph added with a smile, "Since you are so confident in his companion pet, you won't be afraid to accept my challenge, right?"
Before Li Benyu could speak, Li Benyi said, "Of course I dare, but Zhou Wen and the others are guests, I can't trouble them."
Joseph looked at Zhou Wen and said, "Xiao Yi has so much confidence in you, don't you want to help him?"
Li Benyu quickly interrupted and said, "Joseph, they are the guests of the owner of the house, don't mess around."
Joseph curled his lips and said, "What guest of the master? Aren't they just friends of Lanshi and Sadie? I have already defeated Lanshi. When I have time, I will defeat Sadie and let everyone in the family know who is the real genius."
"Are you sure you want to challenge me?" Zhou Wen suddenly asked.
"Of course, if Xiaoyi is willing to let you represent him, I don't mind letting him know that in this world, only guardians are truly powerful." Joseph said.
"Okay, wait a minute." Zhou Wen took out his cell phone and sent a message to Lan Shi, Sadie and others.
After all, he was a guest invited by Lanshi and Sadie. It would seem a bit inappropriate if he killed the guardian of the Ultimate Family here, so he told the two of them about it first.
Joseph was some distance away from Zhou Wen, but he had good eyesight and discovered that the friend profile picture Zhou Wen was communicating with belonged to Lan Shi.
"You want to investigate my intelligence now? It's too late, isn't it?" Joseph said with some contempt.
It didn't take him much effort to defeat Lan Shi, because Lan Shi was only an epic level and didn't even have a mythical companion pet. He won very easily with the guardian.
So he was very sure that Lan Shi had no information to reveal to Zhou Wen.
But when Joseph saw the message Zhou Wen sent, he was so angry that his lungs almost exploded.
"There's a man named Joseph in your family who wants to challenge me. Since he's a member of your family after all, I'd like to ask for your opinion on which of the three options below for the Guardian is most appropriate. Please reply as soon as possible using letters."
A: Beat him to death.
B: Cripple him.
C: Knock him out.
Then Joseph discovered that Zhou Wen copied the message again and sent it to Sadie again.
Didi!
Soon, both Lanshi and Sadie responded, and their answers were the same, "A".
Good night.
