127: Double-crossing!

"Just tell me, how much did Overlord Invincible pay you to kill me? Hand the money over to me, and we'll call it even."

Lin Yue's expression was indifferent, the corners of his mouth curling up slightly.

"How could that work? Setting aside the fact that we have to keep our clients' information confidential, if we don't complete the quest, we won't even get that money."

Greedy Wolf suppressed his anger, speaking with a darkened face.

"So, that means there's nothing to talk about?"

"I'm sorry, I don't have the authority to agree to this."

Greedy Wolf couldn't possibly agree to Lin Yue's conditions. Originally, he had planned that even if the quest wasn't completed, he would refund half to Overlord Invincible and still pocket fifty million.

Now that White Emperor was demanding it all, wouldn't he be a total sucker and get nothing out of it?

Furthermore, if the organization found out he was taking dirty money on the side, he would definitely be in for a world of trouble.

Lin Yue's eyes narrowed as he stared at Greedy Wolf. "Since you don't agree, then let's fight. Your [Slaughter] better be prepared. Who do you think I, White Emperor, am? Is a small organization like yours really someone you can afford to offend?"

"What do you mean? You want to move against our organization?"

Greedy Wolf was startled instinctively, looking at Lin Yue in disbelief.

"You're a real lunatic. Aren't you afraid we'll fight you to the death?"

"I'm sorry, but you're not worthy. Since you offended me today, I'll pay you a personal visit later and kill you all back to level zero."

As soon as these words were spoken, Greedy Wolf was truly stunned.

He expected that White Emperor wouldn't let him off today, but he didn't expect him to go as far as wiping out his entire organization as well.

If White Emperor really moved against [Slaughter], according to Greedy Wolf's analysis, there really was a chance he could wipe them out.

After all, someone like White Emperor was simply unstoppable at this stage. On the contrary, they wouldn't be able to withstand his massive damage.

"Impossible. You don't even know where [Slaughter] is located. On what basis are you going to fight us to the end? Once we've developed, it'll be impossible for you to win against us alone."

Greedy Wolf suddenly realized; White Emperor must be bluffing to force him to hand over the money.

Lin Yue gave a knowing smile. He actually did know the hidden address of the [Slaughter] organization.

"Taotie City, Wujiang District, Sanli Alley entrance. You know what I'm talking about, right?"

Hearing this.

Greedy Wolf abruptly took two steps back, his eyes filled with terror as he muttered, "How is this possible? How do you know? Who exactly are you?"

Lin Yue didn't offer much explanation, instead asking directly, "So, do you plan to pay me to settle this peacefully so we can each go our separate ways in the Jianghu, or do you plan to fight me to the bitter end?"

Greedy Wolf's expression was extremely grave. He stared at Lin Yue for a full half-minute without saying a word.

In all his years traversing the Jianghu, this was the first time he had been so frightened. This White Emperor must be an incredible figure in reality; otherwise, he wouldn't know the [Slaughter] organization so well.

But he couldn't for the life of him figure out which bastard had leaked [Slaughter]'s address. This was top secret; once leaked, one would be hunted down.

In short, Greedy Wolf's thoughts were a mess, a complete mess, making it difficult for him to even think calmly.

Lin Yue wasn't in a hurry. After all, if you want to reap some benefits, you have to give people time to consider, right?

And [Slaughter] was famous for its high prices. Overlord Invincible must have spent a lot of money to buy his life.

As long as he could fleece Overlord Invincible, waiting a bit didn't matter.

But with White Emperor and Greedy Wolf stopping their fight, the Overlord Guild members watching from the distant Resurrection Point were dumbfounded.

"Guild Leader, what's going on? Isn't that guy our reinforcement? Why did they stop fighting?"

"Damn, these reinforcements don't seem very reliable. They've only been at it for how long before calling a truce?"

"It looks like they're calling a truce. Can someone go out and listen to what they're talking about?"

"Get lost! Why don't you go listen? Going out is suicide. I've already dropped two levels; any more and I'm quitting."

...The five thousand people at the Resurrection Point were terrified by Lin Yue. They could only watch from afar, not daring to step out or even teleport back to the main city.

Since Overlord Invincible hadn't spoken yet, everyone could only huddle together at the Resurrection Point to watch the commotion.

"Overlord Invincible spent two hundred million. I can give you that money, but you must agree to put on a show with me and let me kill you once."

After another half-minute, Greedy Wolf finally regained his senses. It was irrational to go against White Emperor at this stage. [Slaughter] had worked hard to gain a foothold in the Land of the Final End; if they were beaten back to square one, they wouldn't even be able to become a local power in the future.

"Two hundred million. Overlord Invincible is really willing to spend."

Lin Yue was slightly taken aback; this amount was quite a bit higher than he had expected.

"However, you seem to have misunderstood one thing. This two hundred million is only the price to buy the lives of every member of your organization. Hand it over, and I'll act as if today never happened and won't pursue any trouble with your organization."

"Otherwise, your organization will definitely be wiped off the map in the Land of the Final End tomorrow."

How could Lin Yue let Greedy Wolf kill him? His red name value was currently over 15,000 points. If he died even once, all his equipment would drop, except for the evolved xuan ming heart-protecting mirror.

Hearing this, Greedy Wolf clenched his fists. For a moment, he wanted to attack Lin Yue again.

For no other reason.

He felt Lin Yue's demand was too overbearing—even more overbearing than [Slaughter].

What the hell? Giving two hundred million just to trade for a chance at survival?

This kind of talk was usually what [Slaughter] said to their targets!

However, he had to make a decision now.

Otherwise, this lunatic White Emperor really might fight the organization to the bitter end.

If he agreed and gave the money, he might even be able to befriend White Emperor when they met again in the future.

If he didn't, and White Emperor killed them all now and then attacked the organization, he, Greedy Wolf, would be the sinner responsible for the organization's downfall.

"Fine, I agree. Give me your account number. I hope you won't go back on your word."

Greedy Wolf had no other choice and finally agreed to pay to avoid disaster.

After all, compared to two hundred million, the organization's growth was far more important; its value couldn't be compared to two hundred million.

The two exchanged friend requests. Lin Yue sent an overseas account number to Greedy Wolf and then smiled as he shook his hand. "Pleasure doing business with you."

"Screw you! People from the Overlord Guild are still watching!"

Greedy Wolf was on the verge of tears. After transferring the money, he led his people away without looking back.

Today, he had truly been fleeced.

Xuanwu City, Dingjun Mountain conference room.

Overlord Invincible and Overlord Divine Light were drinking tea and chatting.

"Divine Light, do you think [Slaughter] can take down White Emperor? I can't let these two hundred million go to waste."

"If it's Slaughter, there shouldn't be a problem. That organization is terrifying; it was a shadow over my childhood."

"Haha, is that so? Then I'm relieved."

Overlord Invincible patted Divine Light's shoulder, happily imagining how furious White Emperor would be after being killed. However, in the next second, he received a message from Greedy Wolf.

"quest failed. Money is non-refundable."

After saying that, Greedy Wolf's avatar went dark; he had directly added Overlord Invincible to his blacklist.

Overlord Invincible: ???
