205: The terrifying power of paradise

“Yes, hand it over.”

“Sain Dale.”

At this moment, even when facing the ruler of a planet, Nie Guang felt no fear in his heart.

His gaze met Sain Dale’s, calm and composed. The latter stared at Nie Guang for several seconds, and just as the atmosphere in the arena gradually grew heavy, Sain Dale's expression suddenly relaxed, and he said with a smile.

“Of course, this is part of our agreement.”

“However, since you esteemed sirs have encountered such an incident, I hope you will give me some time to deal with them, find out who instigated this, and give you sirs a proper explanation.”

“Finally, I will personally present the World Core with both hands.”

Sain Dale’s words sounded completely watertight, resolving the incident that had occurred and making a promise to Nie Guang.

According to the subsequent development, Nie Guang should have agreed to his request, and everything would have been resolved perfectly.

However, what Sain Dale didn't expect was that even after he had revealed his identity, Nie Guang still shook his head slightly at this moment. He actually rejected Sain Dale’s proposal.

“You are mistaken, Your Majesty. We will deal with these people ourselves, including those behind them.”

“But the World Core, you must hand it over to us now.”

“The transaction with the Forbidden Zone needs to be completed, or are you planning to violate the contract submitted to the Forbidden Zone?”

Nie Guang showed an interested expression. Since he became a Contractor, he had never seen any being dare to tear up a contract with the Paradise. If this Sel Star monarch dared to do so, he was curious to see what kind of punishment the Paradise would mete out.

“No!”

“Of course not, every existence needs to revere the Forbidden Zone and abide by its contracts.”

“It’s just that these people are Sel Star citizens after all. Shouldn't you esteemed sirs let me handle them?”

Facing Nie Guang's attitude, Sain Dale's face instantly stiffened, but he quickly put on a forced smile, repeatedly apologizing.

However, what was puzzling was that even with this attitude, Sain Dale still wanted to retain the right to deal with the several Vice Captains, rather than hand them over to Nie Guang and the others.

“No, no, no, Your Majesty.”

“Perhaps I can say it again, they need to be handed over to us, and so does the World Core.”

“This is not a negotiation. From the moment you made your choice, Sel Star already belongs to the Forbidden Zone.”

Facing Sain Dale’s persistence, Nie Guang’s attitude was particularly firm. He had already guessed that this incident was definitely an internal power struggle within Sel Star, but this had nothing to do with him. He was only there for his mission, for the World Core.

If Sain Dale refused, then there would be a good show to watch. With the end of the World War, the ownership of Sel Star had been transferred to Death Paradise by the Notary Scale. If Sain Dale dared to say no, it would trigger the Paradise's rules, and the Paradise would personally mete out punishment.

It was obvious that Nie Guang was digging a pit for Sain Dale, trying to make him lose his rationality and utter words of refusing the transaction.

As mentioned earlier, Sain Dale was not clear about the process of transacting with the Paradise. Therefore, after being unceremoniously rebuffed by Nie Guang at this moment, his forced smile immediately turned completely somber.

He wasn't going back on his word. Rather, the Galaxy Mercenary Group, as part of Sel Star, had broken free from royal control decades ago, but he merely wanted to use this opportunity to join the Forbidden Zone to reshuffle the Galaxy Mercenary Group, so that it would return to his control.

But clearly, Sain Dale had overthought things. From the moment he allowed the Galaxy Mercenary Group to act against Li An and the others, events had already spiraled beyond his control.

However, Sain Dale was apparently still unaware of this. Provoked by Nie Guang at this moment, he could no longer hold back and reprimanded him.

“Sirs, I respect that you are from the Forbidden Zone, but I am still the monarch of Sel Star. If this is your attitude, then I will refuse the Forbidden Zone transaction.”

Refuse… the transaction… Boom! ! !

At this moment, the instant Sain Dale’s words fell, to everyone's surprise, a terrifying anomaly suddenly echoed above the normally calm Sel Star.

This sudden sound immediately attracted the attention of all living beings on Sel Star, especially Nie Guang, Li An, and Mark, who were currently confronting Sain Dale.

“You’re finished.”

“Next, there’s a good show to watch.”

However, at this moment, Nie Guang, hearing this strange sound, merely smiled faintly, then showed Sain Dale an extremely inexplicable smile.

The latter naturally saw Nie Guang's smile, but Sain Dale was somewhat puzzled. He had only spoken in a fit of pique, and had not actually acted on it. Could it be that even so, the Forbidden Zone would punish him?

Sain Dale was somewhat dismissive. Although he heard the strange sound in the sky at this moment, to maintain his dignity, he still intended to continue his previous behavior.

“Sirs, the World Core can be given to you.”

“But as people of Sel Star, they can only be judged by me.”

Since he had already fallen out with Nie Guang and the others, Sain Dale immediately dropped his pretense. However, he ultimately dared not tear up the contract submitted to the Notary Scale. It was just that regarding the matter of the several Vice Captains, he could not compromise.

“Heh, you still don’t understand?”

“It no longer matters.”

“Your words just now have already touched upon the Forbidden Zone’s rules.”

“The Forbidden Zone will personally mete out the punishment later.”

When Sain Dale looked at Nie Guang, the latter's gaze immediately met his.

At this moment, upon hearing Nie Guang's words, Sain Dale immediately seemed to grasp something, and he instinctively looked up at the sky.

Rumble ~

At this moment, the strange sound in the sky continued. Unbeknownst to anyone, the sky of Sel Star had already been enveloped by thick black clouds, and terrifying and dazzling electric light shuttled back and forth within the clouds.

Under Sain Dale's gaze, the extent of the dark clouds continued to expand, eventually obscuring the sun that illuminated them, and the entire planet, at this moment, plunged into an seemingly eternal darkness.

Crack, crack, crack ~

As darkness enveloped Sel Star, an unusual crisp sound echoed in the sky. Subsequently, all the residents of the planet felt the surrounding air begin to become thick and turbid.

“This, this… what’s going on?”

Looking at such a horrifying sight, Sain Dale was shocked.

At this moment, it wasn't just him; even Li An was seeing such a terrifying sight for the first time. And from Nie Guang's words just now, it was not difficult to discern that the power behind this was precisely Death Paradise.

[Sel Star Monarch Sain Dale, having uttered forbidden words, shall be punished! ! !]

At this moment, there was only a rolling roar in the sky, but with the intervention of an unknown force, all the residents of Sel Star heard this sentence.

Evidently, he had successfully fallen into the pit Nie Guang had dug, which meant he had to accept punishment from Death Paradise.
