"Nobody wanted it?"
Fury seemed ready to erupt from the eyes of the peak [Second-Rank Divinity] gripping Li Dabao.
He wanted to eat Li Dabao's flesh raw and gulp down his blood right then and there. Even that would not satisfy his rage!

He infuriated the fellow so badly that the latter finally turned his head away helplessly, pretending not to hear.
Li Dabao was like a bald boss who had found his subordinate's weakness. Even
