Wang Teng's face had become swollen from being slapped like this.
As his face became more and more swollen, Wang Teng finally learned not to say anything.
Or it was better to say that it became hard for him to say anything since his face was swollen.
Seeing that he didn't say anything else, I just rubbed my hands together to help them recover a bit after slapping him across the face like this. I didn't care about the way that he looked at me like he wanted to take revenge.
Eventually, Wang Teng slowly said, "You should know why I did that. If you didn't get close to her, then none of this would have happened."
"I know, but what makes you think that she belonged to you in the first place?"
"Ha, everything in this world is mine for the taking! That is the right of the rich and powerful!" Wang Teng recovered his vigor a bit, but all that earned him was another slap across the face.
Shaking my head, I said with a sigh, "It really seems like you don't learn at all. You should know what kind of situation you're in and you're still acting like this. It seems like even in the end, you'll never learn."
"You…" Wang Teng was about to say something, but then he realized that there was something wrong with the words that he heard.
There was a slow look of recognition as he started processing these words before saying, "You…you wouldn't dare. If you dare, then you'll know what will happen to you."
I just looked at him with a smile as I said, "What makes you think that I wouldn't dare? Don't you already know what kind of place we're in? This is the kind of place where people go missing all the time."
Turning around to look at the lackeys that were still frozen and then looking at Xia Xue, I said, "If you were to go missing here, do you really think that anyone would think anything of it?"
"They'll come for our corpses and it'll be exposed that you were the one that killed us. When that time comes, you won't be able to escape the consequences."
To my surprise, it was actually Xia Xue who said this.
Wang Teng was caught off guard at first, but then he quickly said with a nod, "That's right! If you dare, they'll find out right away based on the condition of our corpses! My father won't let this matter rest if you dare do anything!"
I just ignored him as I looked at Xia Xue with narrowed eyes.
I hadn't thought much of her since she acted like a girl who only cared about using her beauty to trap powerful men, but it seemed that I had underestimated her.
It seemed that there was a brain inside of that pretty head, it was just that she chose to hide it normally to fool men that she wanted to use.
After looking at her like this for a bit which made Xia Xue look away from me, I turned back to Wang Teng with a smile on my face as I said, "Who said that I would do anything to you? There's no need for me to dirty my hands."
With a snap of my fingers, there were several large figures that appeared around us.
These figures were on all four limbs, unlike humans.
When they saw these figures, Wang Teng's group was caught off guard by them.
Even though they had already heard the howls from these Gale Wolves earlier which was what stopped the lackeys, they had actually completely forgotten about them.
After the Gale Wolves appeared, it took a while for them to process what was happening, but the moment that they did…
"You traitor! You have betrayed mankind!"
That was what Wang Teng said as soon as he came back to his senses.
He didn't even think about his own position as he said this, that was just how shocked he was to see the Gale Wolves following my orders.
With a shake of my head and a faint smile, I said, "Why do you think that? Just because they're following my orders, does that mean that I'm working with the monsters?"
"What else could it mean?" Wang Teng said without hesitation.
I didn't bother answering this as I simply gave a shrug and said, "Does that really matter to you at this point?"
Wang Teng trembled when he heard this before slowly looking at the Gale Wolves.
His eyes filled with fear before he looked back at me as if he was meeting me for the first time. With the way that he looked at me, it was as if he didn't even recognize who I was.
That was just how much this situation confused him.
He just couldn't figure out what had caused this change in me.
It was simply because I wouldn't take it anymore.
There were many things that I had to take in the past because of my position, but no longer.
With this power of mine, I would do what I would have to do to become stronger. I wouldn't let anyone push me around anymore.
Especially if that person had plans to kill me in the first place.
If they come for my life, then they should at least leave theirs if they fail.
"I promise that I won't say anything about this as long as you let me go. You can have the rest, just let me go." Wang Teng sounded completely defeated when he said this.
It was as if there wasn't a single part of the arrogant young master from before as he said this.
It was as if all he cared about was his own life.
The lackeys had shocked looks on their faces, but they couldn't say anything since they were still frozen.
As for Xia Xue, she was just too shocked to say anything.
"If you spare me, I'll get my father to give you…"
"Not interested."
With a snap of my fingers, the Gale Wolves jumped at Wang Teng and his lackeys.
