The Husband-and-Wife Con Artists (2)

The scent of humans, carried by the night breeze, entered Dorgo's nostrils.

Tonight, they are to make a deal with a mysterious human, and it goes without saying who this person is who is here at this moment.

Candice's lips curled into a slight smile.

Let's get the deal done as soon as possible; the sooner it's done, the sooner she can leave Ramon's territory.

To be honest, because Candice is currently very important, as the middleman in the deal with the mysterious man, Ramon will not allow other Magic Creature to harm Candice for the time being. So, at least within Ramon's territory, Candice is doing quite well, but she really dislikes that awful smell and atmosphere.

Although she glanced at Ronald as he was being dealt with, she couldn't bear the pitiful and tragic scene and turned away.

Ramon's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he could barely contain his smile. He was eager to meet this mysterious person and learn more valuable information from him.

Under the hazy moonlight, a slender and graceful figure finally appeared.

When they saw the tiny human, both Ramon and Dorgo were somewhat shocked.

They had considered how this mysterious person would appear: dressed in black, wearing a black robe, a black mask, and so on. In any case, this mysterious person would definitely choose to hide their face and would never show their true appearance to Ramon.

But in reality, it was completely different from what I imagined.

That mysterious human youth... or rather, that boy...

His face wore only a faint smile, without any attempt to conceal it; his handsome features paired with a gentle smile easily won people's favor.

He wore a simple, yet mysterious, silver-white robe.

Candice's smile deepened; this time, she appeared in the guise of Lord Horus.

Upon seeing such a colossal figure as Ramon, he showed no fear and did not turn and run away. Instead, he slightly increased his speed and walked towards Ramon. This reaction basically confirmed that he was indeed the trader.

Ramon even felt a bit of admiration for this human. He wasn't afraid of him and even dared to show his true face. This courage was worthy of respect.

Beside him, the green light in the eyes of the half-demon Demon Wolf Dorgo grew stronger and stronger, and the hairs on his body stood on end.

Candice frowned slightly; that was a sign that the Demon Wolf Clan was about to launch an attack.

Sure enough, just as Horus took two more steps forward, a loud bang suddenly came from beside Candice.

Bang!

The earth shattered.

With the powerful recoil, Dorgo's body moved like a ghost in the night, hurtling towards Qin Chu at incredible speed.

The Demon Wolf Clan is known for its speed, Dorgo's strength had already reached level eighty last year, making his speed even more exaggerated. Under the moonlight, a dark shadow appeared in front of Qin Chu at a speed that even Candice could hardly see, leaving the sound of it cutting through the air far behind.

Upon reaching Qin Chu, it leaped up, accompanied by a shrill wolf howl, and its sharp claws ripped towards Qin Chu's face.

It moves as fast as lightning.

Yet, there wasn't a trace of surprise or panic on the man's face, and even his smile remained unaffected, only subtly shifting to a mocking expression.

Just as the claws were about to tear the man's face apart, a long black spear suddenly appeared.

No one could figure out how the spear had appeared.

Candice can't see it, Ramon can't see it.

He couldn't even see the sharp eyes of the Demon Wolf Dorgo, who was standing right in front of the man.

The mysterious black spear suddenly appeared, and then... splat!

The sound of a sharp blade tearing through flesh.

The gun barrel pierced through Dorgo's back, going straight through his chest, and blood splattered from the wound.

Immediately afterwards, the powerful impact of the spear exploded at that moment, sending Dorgo's body flying back. With another bang, the massive body of the Demon Wolf was pinned to a large tree.

He's not dead yet.

A level 80 Demon Wolf has extremely strong vitality and will not die so easily.

But this feeling was not pleasant for Dorgo either. His body writhed like a worm hanging from a tree, blood spitting from his mouth. Only his green eyes were filled with deep resentment and madness, and there was a suppressed roar in his throat.

Pain will not frighten Dorgo; it will only unleash the savagery within him.

Ramon's large eyes narrowed.

No wonder he's a mysterious trader; no wonder Candice couldn't find a single clue about him.

The ability to defeat Dorgo in an instant is rare even among humans. Moreover, Ramon could sense that he didn't really intend to kill Dorgo; otherwise, the spear wouldn't have pierced Dorgo's chest, but his head.

The power contained in the spear didn't pin Dorgo to the tree; it simply blew Dorgo's body apart.

Of course, this is Antia's power.

It's just that most people wouldn't notice it.

Disguised as Horus, Qin Chu merely curled a faint, mocking smile at the corner of his mouth. He stopped, his gaze fixed on Ramon and Candice not far away. Under the moonlight, the night wind rustled the hem of his silver robe.

"Seventh Prince, what do you mean by this?"

"I came here with sincerity. Are you trying to sabotage our deal? If so, then I'll have to lower my opinion of the Seventh Prince and perhaps choose other investment and cooperation partners."

Ramon suddenly laughed, chuckling, "How could that be? His subordinate is just being immature, he's still a child, please don't hold it against him."

He's still a child...

Qin Chu's lips trembled slightly.

Where did that bastard Ramon learn that phrase from?

So you don't learn the good stuff, you only learn this kind of thing, right?

A child? Three or four meters tall? You're telling me this is a child?!

However, it's clear from this statement that Dorgo's actions were approved by Ramon. This seventh prince seems to be consciously testing Qin Chu's strength and then arranging different responses based on Qin Chu's strength.

If Qin Chu hadn't demonstrated such formidable strength, Ramon would likely have employed a more forceful and oppressive approach.

Now, it can barely be considered equal.

The smile on Ramon's face gradually faded, and he said seriously, "May I ask your name?"

Horus!

Qin Chu spoke fluently without hesitation.

They seem to be showing absolutely sufficient sincerity in this deal.

Anyway, it's just a pseudonym. If you're so capable, go ahead and check. If you find anything, I'll take your surname.

Ramon was quite satisfied with Horus's frankness, and he nodded. "Your Excellency Horus, please don't misunderstand, my men were just a little impulsive."

"But you know, all Magic Creature are like this."

"However, regarding our meeting and transaction today, I... cough cough, I, the prince, have come with absolute sincerity. First, please allow me to present you with my gift." Ramon smiled broadly and winked at Candice.

Candice, however, was unwilling to touch Ronald, who was filthy and reeked of stench. With a wave of her hand, a whirlwind swept up Ronald's body and threw the rotten flesh-like thing in front of Qin Chu.

Hiss...

When Qin Chu saw Ronald, he gasped.

Is this still the same handsome, dashing, and debonair young nobleman he once was?

How did things end up like this?

He knew Ronald wouldn't fare well in Ramon's hands, but he never expected it to be this bad...

His face seemed somewhat distorted. His long hair, which was originally neatly combed and was typical of men in this world, was now almost gone, with large patches of scalp exposed, and in some places, there was no scalp at all.

His shoulders, neck, face, and lips were covered with marks left by the Magic Creature's bites.

His clothes were tattered, and his arms, chest, and waist were covered in purplish-blue bruises. His head slumped on the ground, showing no signs of life. His mouth was agape, and drool was dripping from the corner of his mouth.

The hips and legs, like a frog's, would twitch and spasm from time to time.

You can no longer sense even the slightest trace of the air of a noble young master about him; he's not even as good as the homeless beggars in the slums of the Orwell Empire's Imperial City... at least those people still have some semblance of human life in them.

Misery, desolation, wretchedness, dejection... even all the various descriptions combined cannot fully capture Ronald's current state.

Looking at Ronald now, Qin Chu felt... so good!

The more miserable Ronald, the happier Qin Chu felt.

He was very satisfied with Ramon's gift; even if he had made it himself, he would never have been as good as Ramon.

If Ronald were to be placed in front of Rosweisse, Sylph, and the others, they would never believe that this was the same person who was once a member of the Hero's Party.

Ramon wore a smug smile, "Ronald is unconscious now, but I guarantee he's definitely not dead."

"I've heard that Ronald and you, sir, have a deep-seated hatred for each other, so I've arranged for thousands of Magic Creature to take care of him and pamper him..."

Qin Chu was shocked.

That guy Ramon, although he's not exactly smart, he's really ruthless. Thousands of Magic Creature... Qin Chu's mind conjured up the image of Ronald lying on the ground, facing thousands of Magic Creature.

My body shuddered slightly.

God.

That's too brutal.

Even the benevolent Qin Chu felt a pang of pity.

"How about this gift? Not bad, right?" Ramon said smugly, then handed a storage ring to the mysterious Horus in front of him.

Ramon has already examined this ring; besides Mana and Holy Crystal, there's nothing special inside.

"This is Ronald's storage ring; I haven't touched anything inside."

Ramon emphasized.

This was because the mysterious trader had previously provided clues about Benson and Ronald, which could be considered as offering advice to help capture Ronald.

Therefore, this time, Ramon acted more proactively.

Qin Chu caught the ring that Ramon tossed to him, his consciousness scanning it, a barely perceptible smile curving his lips before quickly disappearing.

Inside this storage ring, Qin Chu found Jello's second Soul Fragment.

Chapter 212 The Couple's Scam (2)

Qin Chu had obtained the second Soul Fragment, but unfortunately, now was not the time. Otherwise, he would have really wanted to check if there were any clues left in this Soul Fragment, hoping it wasn't empty like the first one.

Ramon, sitting opposite Horus, kept a close eye on his expression. Although Horus looked quite calm, Ramon could sense that Horus was quite pleased with his gift.

This is what they call a win-win situation.

Ronald sacrificed a tiny bit, then made a fortune for himself and gained the favor of traders—isn't that a win-win situation?

For a moment, Ramon even found Ronald somewhat endearing.

It's not as disgusting as it was at the beginning.

In fact, Ramon had once wanted to try Ronald's method, but considering that his body was too large and Ronald might not be able to handle it, he eventually gave up.

It's clear that both sides were very satisfied with the meeting.

But Ramon wanted more; humans are greedy, and Magic Creature are no exception.

However, Ramon was well aware that Horus had already provided a lot of valuable information, and he didn't know how to broach the subject... Perhaps this would make Horus feel that he was greedy.

At their first meeting, Ramon tried his best to leave a fairly good impression on Horus.

For a moment, Ramon was so anxious that he scratched his head and could only look to Candice for help.

Candice couldn't help but sneer inwardly. This guy, wanting benefits but too embarrassed to ask, looked like a clown. However, Candice also knew that as a subordinate, it was time for her to step in.

She smiled softly and said in a charming voice:

"Lord Horus..."

Candice pronounced the title with remarkable fluency.

"His Highness the Seventh Prince is so sincere in giving you such an exquisite gift, shouldn't you respond in some way?"

Yes, yes, that's it.

Ramon was overjoyed, but feigned a reprimand. "Candice, you mustn't be so rude in front of my distinguished guests. This is merely Mr. Horus's payment for providing information on Benson and Ronald's whereabouts. How dare you ask for more?"

Poor Ramon had no idea that, apart from Dorgo hanging in the tree, the two people in front of him were actors, conspiring to trick him.
