Chapter 148.2 Take Him to the Dragon Gate Assembly (2/3)
Wang Ke, you......! Zhu Hongyi was surprised by Wang Kes entrance.
Ohh, Zhu Yan was assisting me to catch the criminal wanted by the Demon Sovereign; he was with me when you were trying to catch the gold dragon. Look, did I get the right one? Wang Ke flung Tong An'an onto the ground.
Ahhh! The latter cried out in pain and woke up in shock.
Tong An'an almost sprung to attack Wang Ke the moment he opened his eyes. But, he suddenly realized he was surrounded.
Zhu Hongyi, Zi Bufan?
I... I... Im not the one youre looking for! Tong An'an cried out in fear, itching to run like the dickens.

Booooom!
A chain immediately coiled around him.
Tong An'an? Where do you think you are going? Humph! Zhu Hongyi snorted coldly.
I, I... Parlor Lord Zhu, spare me, please! Tong An'an knelt down in horror and begged for mercy.
He also beseeched Zi Bufan with his eyes, hoping to be spared.
Zi Bufans face was as black as coal. Save you?Are you nuts? How can I save you while everyone is looking?It would be seen as me openly rebelling against the Demon Sovereign. You fool!
And so, Zi Bufan looked away. Tong An'an understood her troubles, so he could only turn to Zhu Hongyi and insist.
Humph? Spare you? Try that with the Demon Sovereign! Zhu Hongyi said indifferently.
He then turned and looked at Zhu Yan, Did things happen like Wang Ke said? You helped him capture Tong An'an? Zhu Hongyi asked.
Zhu Yan: ............................!
What should I do?How do I answer?
Say no?That I was working with Tong An'an to kill Wang Ke?But do I dare say that?My ancestral uncle might kill me even if Im his relative!Hes my real backer!
Yes, yes, I helped in the capture! he unwillingly replied, utterly frustrated.
Zhu Yan, you were of great help! Looks like I misunderstood you previously. Thanks to you I was able to capture Tong An'an. Hahaha! Wang Ke laughed heartily.
MeanwhileTong An'an was in no mood to laugh. He glared hatefully at Zhu Yan.
Tong An'an roared with hatred, Zhu Yan, you bast*rd! Didnt you say you wanted to join forces with me to kill Wang Ke? You lied to me! You rotten liar! You were on Wang Kes side all along! You were already in league with him to harm me back on Divine Dragon Island! And now you worked with him again to trap me! Zhu Yan, I wont forgive you, even if I become a ghost!
Zhu Yan: ............................!
I was working with you. But I cant say it with my ancestral uncle here!Hes my main backing!
You did well, Zhu Yan! You are finally grown up! Zhu Hongyi praised his ancestral nephew.
The latter responded with an embarrassed smile. What else can I do?
Although Tong An'ans threats were ignored, Zi Bufan was not to be ignored.
Tong An'an was following my orders, but Zhu Yan sabotaged him?
Zhu Yan, not only you took my benefits away, you didnt accomplish what I asked you to do? Zi Bufan asked.
Zhu Yans face was paralized by fear.
The blood essence that helped me reach the Golden Core Stage was given by Zi Bufan. But in the end, I didnt complete the task she requested. I even went against her plans What should I do now?
But Zhu Yan stepped in to defend his ancestral nephew, Zhu Yan took your blood essence. I will compensate you later!
Zi Bufan also felt annoyed, noticing how her questioning was irritating him.
I dont really care about the blood essence. Sigh! Forget it. Lets not mention this anymore! Zi Bufan said, feeling discomfort about the present topic.
Zhu Yan, I want the gold dragon in your body. Follow me! Zi Bufan said, turning her eyes toward Zhu Yan once again.
Hes to follow you? What are you going to do with the draconic ley line? Zhu Hongyi asked.
Thats none of your business. Dont worry, itll take at most half a year to extract the ley line dragon from his body. After that, I will hand Zhu Yan over to you in one piece! Zi Bufan reassured her love interest.
No way. The ley line dragon is extremely dangerous; it might explode at any moment. You have to give me a clear explanation! Zhu Hongyi demanded.
Humph, I refuse! Zi Bufan objected with a pout.
Zhu Hongyi: ..............................!
And concerning Tong An'an, let me deal with him! Zi Bufan pointed at the wanted criminal.
Tong An'an trembled and smiled with joy; he lowered his face to hide his expression from the rest. Finally, Parlor Lord Zi is trying to save me.
Tong An'an? Zhu Hongyi frowned.
Wang Ke objected immediately, Parlor Lord Zi, youre going overboard. I was the one who captured Tong An'an, and I will personally take him to the Demon Sovereign to ask for a reward!
What reward do you want? I already agreed not to pursue matters against your Wang Clan. Do you still want to oppose me? Zi Bufan asked with a threatening voice.
No, no. Youre conflating the whole thing! It was your choice not to harm my clan and me, all to appease Parlor Lord Zhu. He helped me resolve this issue! Wang Ke rebutted.
Do you want to take advantage of us both?No way!
Zi Bufan, you promised me. You would leave Wang Ke and his clan alone if I helped you capture the gold dragon. How can you go back on your word? Zhu Hongyi questioned her.
Zi Bufan was feeling frustrated. She shot a stare at Tong An'an. This fool! Why was he captured by Wang Ke!
Thats right, Parlor Lord Zhu; please be the judge. Im the one who caught Tong An'an and brought him to you. Please help me ask for a reward, Im in sore need of money! Uh no, I mean, I want this to be properly handled! Wang Ke urged.
What do you want for a reward? Zhu Hongyi asked.
When you hand Tong An'an to the Demon Sovereign, please tell him I dont want any material rewards. Its just that I want to build another God Wang Tower and hope that he partakes in the Ribbon-cutting Ceremony! Wang Ke said expectantly.
Zhu Hongyi: ..............................!
Zi Bufan: ..........................!
The skin on your face is really thick, wouldnt you say? You want the Demon Sovereign himself to cut a ribbon for you? Zhu Hongyi said disdainfully.
Why not? Look at the Heavenly Wolf Sect; they gave my God Wang Company face. It was not an embarrassing act! I, the Divine Dragon Branch Lord, helped the Demon Sovereign to catch Tong An'an; he should consider the difficulty underlings like us go through and show us support for our work! Its just a mere ribbon-cutting act! I wont waste much of his time. The opening ceremony of my companys branch can be set on any date hes free! Wang Ke explained himself anxiously.
Zhu Hongyi: ..............................!
Zi Bufan: ..........................!
Wang Ke, you must be daydreaming! Zi Bufan mocked.
Im not sure if Im daydreaming, but theres no harm in asking, is there? What if? What if he agrees? Wang Ke replied hopefully.
Zhu Hongyi and Zi Bufan: ........................!
Him, agree?He might when the sun rises from the west!
Parlor Lord Zi, you can take Tong An'an, but please ask for the reward on my behalf! Im only a Branch Lord, after all; its not nice to jump the chain of command! Tong An'an is yours to take if you help me mention this trifling thing to the Demon Sovereign! Wang Ke offered openly.
Listen to me, the Demon Sovereign is never going to agree. Dont you get it? Zi Bufan said.
Wang Ke raised a bet, But, what if? What if he agrees? And if he does, you will also participate in the Ribbon-cutting Ceremony. What do you say?
Zi Bufan: ..........................!
She was taken aback by Wang Kes persistence. Even if you used your toes for brains, youd know that the Demon Sovereign would never agree.
Zi Bufan said, Okay, sure. I will help your God Wang Company and join the Demon Sovereign in the ribbon cutting ceremony, but only if he agrees! Also, give Tong An'an to me, and Ill go and speak with the Demon Sovereign myself!
Sure! Deal! Wang Kes face blossomed into a happy smile.
Zi Bufan: ..........................!
She took a deep breath and said, Zhu Hongyi, this is it. You helped me capture the draconic ley line, and I promised to leave Wang Ke and his clan alone. But, its none of my business if the other Parlor Lords go after him!
Sure! Zhu Hongyi nodded.
She looked at Zhu Yan and ordered, Come, Zhu Yan. Follow me!
Zhu Hongyi stopped her, though, No, Zhu Yan stays. You havent told me what you want to do with the dragon!
Zi Bufan stared at him and said, Its none of your business!
No! You must give me a good explanation! Zhu Hongyi frowned.
Zi Bufan was also about to lash out in anger. Noticing how the situation was turning sour, Wang Ke stepped between the two.
Parlor Lord Zi, dont you see? Parlor Lord Zhu is worried about you! said Wang Ke to patch things between them.
Zi Bufan was a little stunned by what she heard. All her anger dissipated.
But Zhu Hongyi gave Wang Ke a stare. What nonsense are you talking about? Who said Im concerned about her?
