238: Chapter 238 He was angry for a moment, but only for a moment!

Hearing this, Hughes did not dare to hesitate for a single second.

Like pouring beans out of a bag, he spilled everything he had.

"Boss! To tell you the truth!"

Hughes knelt on the ground and shouted loudly, "Actually, my true identity is an Abyss Lord!"

"Every one of us lords is responsible for guarding an area, or a specific high-level dungeon!"

As soon as he finished speaking,

inside the mecha cockpit, Lu Yuan's eyes instantly lit up terrifyingly.

An Abyss Lord?!

The keyword engraved in his bones was triggered!

As long as he killed an Abyss Lord, the death god main cannon's damage multiplier would double once again!

A cruel red light flashed uncontrollably in the mecha's crimson eyes.

Hughes, kneeling on the ground, felt a sudden chill run down his spine for no reason.

It was as if he was being locked onto by some terrifying predator.

A powerful intuition that his life would end in the next second rushed straight to his head!

Just then,

Lin Zihao, who was standing to the side carrying a rifle, strolled over.

He sized Hughes up and down and spoke unhurriedly.

"Buddy, it's not that I look down on you,"

"but with a face like yours, you can also be an Abyss Lord?"

"You look a bit weak, honestly!"

As he spoke, Lin Zihao's gaze drifted from time to time toward Hughes's polished, shiny, balding crown.

It wasn't very damaging,

but it was highly insulting!

Hughes was an Abyss Lord after all, how could he bear such humiliation?

Angered, he suddenly stood up, his face full of indignation.

"Officer! Please do not judge a book by its cover!"

"Not long ago, I was also very handsome and dashing!"

Saying this, Hughes waved his hand.

A holographic projection instantly appeared in mid-air.

In the projection was a cold, handsome man wearing luxurious mage robes.

With flowing long hair, sharp eyebrows, starry eyes, and a deep gaze, he exuded a majesty that controlled everything.

This appearance was definitely that of a high-tier Great Demon King!

Hughes pointed at the projection and puffed out his chest proudly.

"Look closely!"

"I am the famous—Lord Hughes, the Nightmare Weaver!"

After a brief, dead silence,

"Pfft—Hahaha!"

On the central plaza, the three hundred thousand soldiers of the Red Wolf Army collectively lost it, their laughter shaking the heavens.

"Incredible! So even Abyss Lords use beauty filters!"

"This Photoshopping skill is at least master-level!"

"Hey, don't say that. If you look closely, there is still a tiny bit of resemblance!"

"It's about the difference between Sanmeng Qiyuan and Yang Mi!"

"I'm dying of laughter. What kind of inhumane torture did this guy go through to go bald like this?"

Hearing the unrestrained mockery around him,

Hughes trembled with anger, cursing them and their mothers in his heart.

What kind of torture?

Wasn't it fucking forced by you skin-peeling, tendon-pulling locusts?!

"Get to the point!"

Inside the crimson mecha, Lu Yuan's cold, harsh voice exploded like thunder.

Hughes shuddered in fear and quickly put away the projection.

"Ah! Sorry, Boss! I'll continue..."

"The game, the survival game!"

He looked up pitifully, his face full of bitterness.

"Boss, we low-level lords don't know the specific inside details either!"

"I only know that all of this was ordered by those big shots up there."

"Whether it's you humans or us Abyssal Creatures, we are actually nothing more than tools for their amusement!"

The mecha leaned forward slightly, bringing a terrifying gust of wind pressure.

Lu Yuan's voice carried a bone-chilling coldness.

"Tools for amusement?"

"Just for amusement, they use all kinds of extreme rules to induce all of humanity to kill each other?!"

Lu Yuan controlled the mecha, and the death god main cannon locked onto Hughes once again.

"Tell me."

"Who exactly are those big shots you speak of?!"

With the main cannon pointed at his head, Hughes's psychological defenses completely crumbled.

He fell to his knees with a "thud" once more, frantically kowtowing and begging for mercy.

"Boss! I really don't dare to say!"

"Those big shots... are, are unspeakable, unviewable, terrifying existences!"

"If I dare to reveal even half a word, not only me, but this entire area will be instantly erased!"

Seeing Hughes's state of terror, looking as if his soul was about to scatter,

Lu Yuan knew that this was already his limit.

Forcing him further wouldn't yield any valuable information.

"Fine."

Lu Yuan spat out a single word cleanly, and at the same time, retracted the mecha's cannon barrel.

Seeing the muzzle move away,

the stone hanging in Hughes's heart finally dropped, and he couldn't help but feel a surge of secret joy.

He had escaped a disaster!

This little life of his was finally saved!

Lay low!

Once I lay low for a few months, I can still make a comeback!

And you damn bandits, go to the World Center and plague those old monsters instead!

But in the next second, Lu Yuan's faint words drifted over again.

"Next, sign the master-servant contract, and you can leave."

Hughes was completely dumbfounded.

It was as if he had been struck by lightning!

A master-servant contract?!

Wait?!

Damn it, how did this human know about the soul contract of the Abyss world!

Once this contract was signed, he, a dignified Abyss Lord, would completely reduce to a slave working illegal labor for humans!

His life and death would depend entirely on another's whim!

Hughes suddenly stood up.

His eyes were blood-red, filled with unyielding pride and arrogance, his chest heaving violently.

"You guys..."

"You are really going too far!"

Hughes clenched his fists in anger, and a trace of the residual pressure belonging to a lord erupted around him.

"If you continue to be so aggressive and leave me no way to live..."

"Then don't blame me for..."

The atmosphere in the entire area instantly tensed. All the Red Wolf members raised their weapons, thinking this boss was going to fight to the death.

Only to see Hughes take a deep breath, sink his energy into his dantian, and suddenly let out a fierce shout.

"Signing it right now!"

With this momentum and loud voice, anyone who didn't know better would think he was about to self-destruct and drag everyone down with him!

In the end, he still chickened out!

That smooth twist gave all three hundred thousand people whiplash.

The gun in Lin Zihao's hand almost fell to the ground, his lips twitching wildly.

"Talk about being able to bend and stretch!"

After signing the soul contract at lightning speed,

Hughes slumped on the ground, feeling as if all the color had drained from his life, looking like a walking corpse.

Just then, Lu Yuan waved his hand.

"Logistics Team!"

"Take a portion of the blood we just extracted."

"Consider it a welcoming gift for our newly joined brother!"

Hearing this, Hughes's dull eyes instantly lit up with two bright gleams.

What?!

They are actually going to give me some top-quality blood!

To think there was such a stroke of good luck!

On the spot, he erupted with speed that surpassed his limits, showing off yet another smooth double-knee slide.

He hugged the mecha's giant steel toes with both hands,

moved to tears.

"Boss! Thank you so much!"

"My dear Boss!"

"You are truly like a second parent to me!"

"I, Hughes, will definitely go through fire and water for you in the future!"

Right after he shouted this,

Hughes's expression suddenly froze.

He blinked, his brain finally catching up.

Wait.

It seems this blood...

Motherfucker, wasn't it originally extracted from my own body in the first place?!
