Realm of the Night God

Chapter 447: The Lion's Mouth



When Bai Xue mentioned that she wanted to find a boyfriend, the Second Boss's face lit up with joy.

"My dear Second Brother is quite fond of you, sister. If you were to be with me, I can guarantee that you can walk freely in this New Yang City, and not only you, but your brother will also be under my protection." The Second Boss boasted with a smile on his face.

"Hehe, as the elder brother, Second Brother, let's get back to the main topic. I, as the younger sister, dare not take the lead before my brother's matters are properly handled," Bai Xue said with a smile.

Bai Xue's words brought the Second Boss back to his senses. If Bai Xue hadn't spoken up, he might have thought that the entire New Yang City belonged to him.

The smile on the Second Boss's face became a bit awkward due to Bai Xue's words.

"Hehe, sister, it's not that Second Brother doesn't want to help your brother, but this matter is a bit difficult."

Hearing this, Yang Haoran smiled and spoke up.

"Second Boss, don't worry. Although my strength is not as impressive as yours, I've accumulated some collections over the years. As long as the Second Boss helps me out, I can certainly offer a price that will satisfy you."

The Second Boss furrowed his brows, and an unpleasant expression appeared on his face.

The enchantment technique can make the target develop a sense of fondness and trust towards the user, but this fondness and trust are relative, and it doesn't mean the user can control the target. If the user's words and actions cross the target's bottom line, it will also provoke the target's anger.

This is exactly the situation here. Because Bai Xue didn't give the Second Boss a direct positive response, but instead brought the issue back to Yang Haoran, it made him feel a bit uncomfortable.

And when Yang Haoran spoke up at this moment, and the problem he mentioned was something the Second Boss didn't want to discuss at the moment, he ended up venting his resentment on Yang Haoran.

However, it was also because the Second Boss had fallen for Yang Haoran's enchantment technique. If it weren't for this, with the Second Boss's usual arrogant and overbearing personality, his words would have been much less polite.

Yang Haoran awkwardly smiled, seeming to be embarrassed about his impolite behavior, without any sign of anger.

After hearing the Second Boss's words, Bai Xue couldn't help but furrow her brows. This expression was not an act, but a genuine display of her displeasure.

In fact, Bai Xue had been quite unhappy in her heart, but in order to cooperate with Yang Haoran's act, she had been suppressing her anger.

Bai Xue's acting skills were quite good. Although not as impressive as Yang Haoran's, she performed her part quite well, without revealing any flaws.

However, seeing the Second Boss being so impolite towards Yang Haoran, her anger intensified, and she couldn't help but express her displeasure on her face.

Seeing Bai Xue's furrowed brows and displeased expression, the Second Boss, who had intended to scold Yang Haoran further, let out a soft sigh and changed his tone.

"Ah, brother, let me be honest with you. It's not a matter of money, but rather, my brothers and I have other plans for this demonic woman we've captured. She is indeed an exceptional one, and there are others who have their eyes on her, but we've turned them all down. That's why this matter is so difficult for me."

Yang Haoran maintained his awkward smile and didn't speak, but instead looked towards Bai Xue, his eyes pleading for help.

The Second Boss noticed Yang Haoran's expression and silently cursed him, realizing that he had used his sister as a mediator because he knew the Second Boss was interested in her.

"Second Brother, is there really no way at all?" Bai Xue asked the Second Boss with a pitiful expression.

Seeing Bai Xue's demeanor, the Second Boss felt his heart breaking, and his expression became even more troubled.

Yang Haoran quickly took a cigarette from the box on the table and offered it to the Second Boss with a flattering smile.

The Second Boss glanced at Yang Haoran, his annoyance evident in his eyes. He was somewhat dissatisfied with Yang Haoran, but because of Bai Xue, he couldn't express it directly, so he simply took the cigarette with a stern face.

Yang Haoran lit the cigarette for the Second Boss, and after taking a puff, the Second Boss continued.

"It's not that there's no way at all, but it would be difficult to succeed, as I can't make the decision alone. I need to convince my other four brothers as well. And even if they agree, the price you'd have to pay would far exceed your expectations as brother and sister."

The Second Boss paused, shaking his head, and continued, "You think your collections would be enough to exchange for the demonic woman, but that's just your one-sided assumption. To provide enough incentive to sway all five of us brothers, your little collections might not be enough."

"Second Brother, how do you know our price won't be satisfactory if you haven't even given us a quote?" Bai Xue asked.

The Second Boss took a drag of his cigarette and replied, "Ah, sister, I don't want to pressure you. How can I give you a quote? If I quote too high, you'll think I'm trying to rip you off, but if I quote too low, my other four brothers might not agree."

"Second Brother, I understand your dilemma, and I'm very appreciative of it. So don't worry, just give us a quote, and we'll accept it, no matter what," Bai Xue said.

The Second Boss hesitated for a moment, seemingly considering something, and after a brief pause, he spoke, "As demon hunters, the most valuable thing to us brothers is the demonic pill from powerful demons. We're not particularly interested in other things. If you want to exchange for this demonic woman, I estimate it would take at least ten great demon's demonic pills."

This statement from the Second Boss caused Yang Haoran and Bai Xue to stiffen, and even Ye Zhiqiu, who had been drinking, looked up at the Second Boss, unconsciously crushing the beer can in his hand.

The Second Boss noticed the reactions of the three, but he didn't seem surprised at all, as if he had already anticipated their responses.

"This demon is a powerful great demon, and it took a lot of effort for us brothers to subdue her. And while her looks may not surpass yours, sister, she is still exceptionally beautiful by worldly standards. So ten great demon's demonic pills is not an unreasonable price." Your support on M|V|L8EMPYR keeps this series going.

The reason the Second Boss was making such a high demand was that, in his eyes, the demonic woman was indeed worth that price.

Additionally, he wanted to make Yang Haoran and Bai Xue back down.

"We brothers have already discussed how to handle this demon. If you can't even come up with ten great demon-level demonic pills, then you can forget about getting her. You seem confident in your collections, but can you really produce ten great demon-level demonic pills?"

After saying this, the Second Boss didn't continue, but instead looked at Bai Xue first, and then turned his gaze to Yang Haoran.

Bai Xue also remained silent, her expression troubled as she looked towards Yang Haoran.

Yang Haoran let out a wry smile and said, "Ten great demon-level demonic pills is indeed a significant amount."

Hearing this, the Second Boss laughed, "It seems you can't produce that many demonic pills, brother. If you could, I'd be willing to consider helping you. But if you can't, I'm afraid I can't do anything for you."

"Ten great demon-level demonic pills is beyond my expectations, but it's not completely impossible. I'm just not sure if this demonic woman is worth such a high price," Yang Haoran said, still hesitant.

Yang Haoran's words caused the Second Boss's expression to change again. He was both surprised that Yang Haoran could potentially produce ten great demon-level demonic pills, and also angered, as Yang Haoran's words were clearly questioning him.
