"What exactly do you want?" Apas's voice was a bit colder, with a hint of embarrassment and anger after being exposed. A fierce light flashed in the silver-gray pupils, like a snake that was forced into a desperate situation and began to show its fangs.
"Me?" Chen Lang leaned back in his chair and put his hands on the armrests. His posture was lazy but showed an aura of control over everything. "I'm not interested in your Snake Clan's territory, and I don't want to get involved in your internal fighting. But you, you took the initiative to come to the door, you can't let me work in vain, right?"
He changed the topic, his eyes fell on Ethan who was already stunned, and his tone was a bit playful. "You don't think that I, like him, can be at your mercy, do you?"
Ethan raised his head suddenly, his eyes were full of disbelief, his mouth opened, but he couldn't say a word for a long time.
He looked at Apas, then at Chen Lang, his mind buzzing.
What does this mean? I have been a pawn used by Apas from the beginning?
He thought he was helping the Egyptian military win over allies, but he didn't expect that he was accompanying a Demon Clan princess to "beg for help." He was even kept in the dark from beginning to end!
A wave of anger and fear of being deceived came to his heart, causing his face to turn from pale to livid in an instant. But Apas is the orthodox Medusa. Even if he knew that he had been cheated, what could he do?
The current situation in Egypt is really too bad.
Apas also did not expect that Chen Lang would suddenly point the finger at Ethan. Her breathing was slightly rapid, a trace of panic flashed in her silver-gray pupils again, and her fingers subconsciously curled up.
But she quickly forced herself to calm down, raised her eyes to meet Chen Lang's gaze, and tried to refute. "You are not of my race, so how can you really understand the affairs of my race? Maybe what you heard are all one-sided words."
"Do I understand or not, but you don't know clearly?" Chen Lang looked at Apas with a deep gaze, staring directly into her eyes, as if he could completely see through all her thoughts.
He naturally knows that the Medusa family has powerful psychic powers, can easily control people's consciousness, and can even petrify enemies through their eyes.
Although Apas has not yet reached the peak of his cultivation, his ability should not be underestimated, but Chen Lang is not afraid at all.
Not to mention that his own mental power has already broken through the shackles of Super-level Mage, which is enough to withstand most psychic attacks.
What's more, Ding Yumian will personally lay down a layer of spiritual protection for him every month, which can block any mental impact.
As long as Apas dares to use a trace of spiritual power, he will be able to detect it immediately and even suppress it with thunder, leaving Little Snake Girl without a chance to resist.
Apas stared closely into Chen Lang's eyes, but did not dare to use any ability.
She could feel the vague sense of oppression on Chen Lang. It was a powerful force far beyond her knowledge, and she did not dare to even have the slightest thought of resistance.
At this moment, she did have a sense of desperation.
Medusa had just passed away, and her two sisters had been pressing her harder and harder. Even the few attendants around her had been bribed. If Ethan hadn't been used by her and willing to take her away, she would have become a prisoner of her sisters.
This time I came to see Chen Lang. I was trying to treat a dead horse as a live doctor.
She still remembered that last time Chen Lang dared to break into Medusa's forbidden area alone in order to relieve the curse of the Snake Clan, and even got snake tears from her. Such a person might really be able to help her.
The most important thing is that Chen Lang had no intention of harming her, even though she was extremely weak at that time.
But she never expected that Chen Lang would know so many secrets about the Snake Clan, which turned her from a "seeker" to a "passive one", with almost no room for negotiation...
"Why, after knowing your current situation, don't you continue to be arrogant?" Chen Lang looked at Apas, his fingertips slowly caressing the armrests of the sandalwood chair, and there was a hint of a smile in his eyes.
He deliberately slowed down his speaking speed, and every word seemed to be a frivolous test, poking at the last bit of Apas's tight self-esteem.
Apas The hand hanging by her side quietly let go, and the wrinkles on the velvet skirt were smoothed by her. The panic in her eyes just now completely faded away, leaving only a calmness after being forced into a desperate situation.
She raised her chin and met Chen Lang's gaze with her silver-grey pupils. She no longer tried to hide her embarrassment, but was surprisingly candid. "Although I don't know how you know about our clan's situation, but none of this is important."
She paused, her eyes swept over the silent Zu Hengyao in the office, then landed on Ethan, whose face was still a little livid, and finally returned to Chen Lang, her tone Determined: "But since you are still willing to chat with me and haven't driven me away directly, or even taken action against me, 'Demon Clan', it means that you are willing to protect me. Instead of beating around the bush, let's talk about your conditions."
As soon as these words came out, Ethan suddenly raised his eyes and looked at Apas with surprise in his eyes. He did not expect that Princess Medusa, who had been trying to maintain her dignity just a moment ago, would surrender so simply at this moment, without even paving the way for negotiation.
Zu Hengyao also raised his eyebrows slightly, looking at Apas with a more scrutinizing gaze, obviously recognizing her keen perception of people's hearts.
The smile on Chen Lang's face faded a little, and the playful curve gradually disappeared, replaced by a deep look, as if he was weighing a valuable but risky treasure.
His eyes fell on Apas, scanning from her silver-grey pupils to the fingertips that clenched the hem of her skirt, not missing any subtle reaction from her.
After staring in silence for a moment, the air in the office seemed to freeze, and even the whine of the desert wind outside the window became clearer.
Suddenly, Chen Lang chuckled, breaking the depression. "You are smarter than I thought, and you didn't continue to struggle in vain."
As soon as he finished speaking, he leaned forward slightly and rested his elbows on the table. His originally lazy posture suddenly became sharp, and his tone suddenly became serious. "My conditions are very simple. You become my maid, stay at the Asian Magic Association, and listen to my orders. When the time is right, I will help you get rid of your two sisters, and let you sit on the position of the emperor of Medusa."
Apas's pupils shrank suddenly, as if he was stabbed by these words, and his body tensed instantly. "Waitress?"
Her voice was incredibly sharp, and her silver-gray eyes were filled with humiliation and anger, "I am the Medusa royal family, the legitimate heir to the Queen Mother. Do you want me to be your maid?"
In the Snake Clan hierarchy, "maid" is almost equivalent to a servant and is a symbol of lowliness.
Even though she was desperate at the moment, she never thought of relying on others in this capacity. This was more uncomfortable for her than killing her.
Chen Lang seemed not to notice her anger, and continued in a calm tone, "Don't feel aggrieved. You must know that the only one who can save your life and help you regain your power now is me. With me here, your two sisters can't hurt you at all even if they use all the Demon Clan troops under Medusa."
Apas's chest heaved violently, tears welled up in his eyes, but he stubbornly refused to fall...
