The middle-aged man's face paled upon hearing those words. His body trembled as he tried registering those words in his head. He swallowed as his lips parted and closed, but there wasn't a single thing he could speak at the end.
But apparently, he wasn't the only one who was shocked and horrified. Chen Ming, he was still sitting on the man's lap, felt his eyes widening as he turned to look back sharply and then at the terrified middle-aged man. Only now did he notice the man sitting opposite to him had sharp canines that he showed and growled as if he were some kind of animal.
Wait, this person also wasn't a human!
Of course, he wouldn't be. After all, this place was full of different kinds of people who weren't exactly human, and the latter group had degraded to the point of being discarded as useless.
No wait, he wasn't supposed to be thinking about this when frightened! Seriously, he should just stop this habit of thinking of useless things when he is feeling a lot of emotions at the same time!
He took a deep breath and tried to calm his nervousness down, but he apparently failed. How could he not be nervous when someone who killed a person was actually sitting behind him?!
No, more accurately, he was the one sitting on a criminal's lap, more likely a mentally insane one at that!
Chen Ming, in his entire boring life, had never had an opportunity to even glance at a criminal even from far away. The closest he got to such a scenario was back when he was still graduating, and his wallet had gotten stolen by a bulgy bald man. He was so scared of the man's form that he let his wallet get stolen and didn't even dare to complain to the police.
Now though….
He was sitting on the lap of the most wanted criminal of all times probably. The person this devil lord probably killed wasn't the only one. Wasn't this devil lord supposed to have a very long life?
Even the thought of leaving this kind of criminal alone and alive for eternity was enough to make Chen Ming's back full of cold sweat.
Damn, damn, damn! He wanted to get up from the man's lap, but he was afraid that this devil lord might end up chewing him alive if he did so.
Before he could react, the devil lord's hand snacked on his waist, pulling the human closer as the devil's voice whispered in his ears, saying, "My dear human, are you ready for some action?"
No!!!! A big fat no!
But Chen Ming was too shocked and horrified at this time to speak a single word. He simply swallowed his fear and nodded lightly, still looking pale as ever.
The pirate outfit on him coupled with his frightened expression made him look extremely weird at the present moment. It was almost as if Jack Sparrow was showing an extremely frightened expression, making him look funny and sympathetic at the same time.
Of course, Chen Ming wasn't at all thinking about what he was looking like currently. His mind was reeling on and on about how he could get away from this man to calm himself down.
Just as he was thinking about it, the man behind him chuckled deeply as his chest vibrated. Even the traces of vibration were clear on Chen Ming's back as he swallowed all the traces of fear once again.
Gao Wen raised his hand when the human in his arms was stunned and just flicked his fingers. Foggy energy floated out of his fingers, heading toward the man slowly.
The middle-aged man seemed to have realized what was happening as his face paled. He got up from his seat tremblingly and said, his voice full of fear: "Lord….. Devil Lord, please stop this!"
"Hmm? Why should I?" Gao Wen looked like he wasn't in a hurry to kill him as he let the fog chase the man throughout the room. The door was closed as the man also went and tried to open it, but he failed as his desperate attempts made him even more exhausted.
Meanwhile, Gao Wen chuckled once again as he said, "Did your men stop when killing my innocent demons?"
"Innocent?!" The middle-aged man took a deep breath as he looked at the fog fearfully and said, "They weren't innocent! You also know they killed so many people!"
"Do you have proof of that?" Gao Wen's eyes were firm and cold as he stared back at the middle-aged man, but his entire body seemed relaxed as if he were a lion in the forest who wasn't in a hurry to catch his prey. He was merely playing with the deer he saw just now, enjoying the chase to his heart's content. "Without considerable proof, I'll consider it a violation of our deal from your side."
"Gao Wen!" The man finally showed his frustrated expression as he said, "You're being too much! Don't forget, you are where you are because of my ancestors!"
"Yeah, that's why I'll be leaving you an intact body behind. No need to thank me after dying."
Just as he spoke, the fog directly rushed onward and gripped the middle-aged man's neck firmly, so tight that the man's face turned blue.
The man struggled as he felt the fog lifting him off the ground. His eyes widened as a trace of fear creeped up in them as he finally managed to say his last words before dying, "He won't let you off!"
At the same time, Chick appeared at once and said, "Congratulations, host! The second male lead is going to enter the scene in a short while~!"
