Chapter 547: I Am A B*tch, and I Am Your Hell

Translator: Oneshotwonder Editor: Hitesh_

The next morning, Kun’s supersized meeting hall was packed with human leaders. This strange building was an exposed platform built twenty or so meters above the ground. The dark ones adored such style of architecture for its openness. It was apparent that the dark ones’ taste differed quite significantly from that of humans. The platform was able to accommodate thousands of visitors, but it was already full by then. Warbands of all stripes gathered together regardless of their size and strength, eager to claim a share of the pie.

If the Maersa City was conquered by large warbands such as the Thunder Fire or Blizzard, no one would dare to request anything from the conqueror. However, Battle Wolf was a small band, and therefore, no one was afraid of trying their luck.

It was never going to be a quiet meeting, but Thunder Fire and Blizzard kept their silence amidst the clamor. The quietness went against the grain of Marcos’ usual temperament, since he was always the loudest at any gathering. Right then, Marcos sat in a chair and was sipping his tea slowly. It was as if he was not interested in the gathering at all.

After half hour of waiting, the host, Battle Wolf, finally arrived. The din in the meeting room slowly died down. Most people were not familiar with Battle Wolf, and they still considered it a weak band, and their achievement a stroke of luck.

Three leaders of the Battle Wolf: Wang Tong, Yin Tianzong and Guan Dongyang, stepped onto the stage. Wang Tong walked in the middle of the other two. Yin Tianzong and Guan Dongyang then took a half step back, indicating the real leader of the three. Many warriors had met Guan Dongyang, and Yin Tianzong, or at least had heard of them before; but, no one knew who the other young man was.

Wang Tong gave everyone a welcoming smile and then announced, “Thank you for coming to this summit.”

Only a few people knew Wang Tong’s real identity, and even fewer clapped their hands.

“Hey, punk! Who the hell are you? Let Guan Dongyang talk.”

“Hell yea! Get off the stage!”

The crowd was quickly sizzling with discontent as they considered Wang Tong unworthy as the speaker.

Standing at the front of the crowd, Aamir and Marcos didn’t say anything.

Guan Dongyang stepped into the spotlight and cracked a smile. “This is my captain, captain Wang Tong.”

Silence fell into the meeting room and then a swell of confused murmurs rose. Who was this teenager? Was he from House Lie or the Sect?

“Alright, Captain Wang. What do you think we should do with the city?”

“Yea, we not coming all the way to the city to hear your babbling. Get down to the business. ”

“The Cherry Blossom had contributed tremendously to your victory. We demand Area C. Our Captain had lived in area C before the Zerg came.”

“Buzz off! Cherry Blossom did nothing! Area C should belong to us, Demon Blades!”

The audiences quickly boiled over as they bickered and squabbled with each other. A few factions had already armed their weapons, ready to strike down their opponents. There had been many fights in the back alleys before the summit, since no one had taken the Battle Wolf’s public announcement seriously.

Wang Tong cracked a smile and then said, “I understand that you are all eager to contribute to the liberation of the humans on Mars. The City of Maersa belonged to each one of you. Plus, we will need your support in rebuilding the city.”

Although Wang Tong’s words had placated the agitated group, it had lent more conceit to some of his audiences.

“Whatever you say. Area C belongs to Cherry Blossom!”

“I don’t believe a single word you say! I will bust your sorry ass right now!”

Everyone started their GN force at once, and the situation quickly spiraled out of control.

Suddenly, everyone felt a strong presence of power weighing on them like a mountain.

A Legendary Warrior!

Yin Tianzong let out an almost inaudible humph, but it sounded so loud that it was a deafening blast in everyone’s ears. The humph quell the troublemakers’ agitation.

“Balls! You are an Einherjar Level Warrior, so what?”

“Yea! Aren’t you supposed to protect us instead of oppressing us?”

The words stirred the audiences’ mob mentality, and the crowd boiled over again.

Wang Tong cracked a smile and then said, “We are here to negotiate, not fight. Even if you want to test each other’s might, please wait until the meeting is over. Please be assured that we have already come up with a fair and just plan on how to divide the city. If I may have your attention…”

Wang Tong and Yin Tianzong played the perfect game of the good cop and the bad cop. Wang Tong’s warm smile and Yin Tianzong’s stern warning had placated the crowd as the room became quiet.

“Thank you all for your understanding. We are one family, so we should be able to sit down and talk things through. After all, without your support, Battle Wolf would not have been able to conquer the city. However, I don’t remember ever seeing the Cherry Blossom on the battlefield. On the contrary, I recalled many robberies committed by this war band against us fellow human resistance factions. After the battle, you and your five hundred hooligans and done many ‘good things’ for the people inside the city.”

“Buzz off! who the heck do you think you are?”

“You are courting death! The Cherry Blossom had never committed any robberies! ”

“Take your words back, or else we will teach you a lesson! ”

The soldiers from the cherry blossom waded through the crowd to just below the stage.

Wang Tong still maintained the warm smile on his face. “Please be reasonable…”

“Get off from there! I want to teach you how to speak properly!”

“Yea! I dare you to get off the stage, you a*shole!”

There were about fifty or so high-level warriors from the cherry blossom that had gotten near the stage. Everyone knew that the Cherry Blossom had committed many crimes under the name of saving the humans from Zergs. By then, its army was three hundred strong, and no one dared to speak out against these rascals.

Wang Tong heaved a sigh and then said, “Please, everyone! I am trying my best to be reasonable although I am not a very reasonable person.”

Before Wang Tong finished his words, a wild gale blow across the hall and the heads of the fifty soldiers popped like balloons. People only noticed that Yin Tianzong’s body went blurry for a second, and then they saw him clear the blood off of his hands.

With that, a fearful silence fell into the hall. The size of the mob no longer offered them a sense of safety. It only took Yin Tianzong less than three seconds to kill all the fifty high-level warriors.

“What a pity! I was going to talk reason with them. But they wouldn’t listen! Guan Dongyang, would you mind persuading them for me please?” Wang Tong said with a twisted smirk.

Guan Dongyang elevated his body into the air as a mastery staff appeared in his hand. The shiny crystal on the staff was ripped off from the body of the former owner of the residence, Kun.

Guan Dongyang was cloaked in flame as the energy in the crystal poured into him; a giant fire dragon was forming right in front of everyone’s eyes. This was no ordinary mastery spell, and many mastery casters from the Battle Wolf had seen this terrible spell before. Immense heat emanated from the fire dragon and roasted the soldiers below it. Some soldiers who sat close to the stage had already started the GN shield to ward off the heat. However, Guan Dongyang didn’t stop as he kept on channeling energy out of the energy crystal, adding more fuel to the intense flame.

Slowly the fire dragon became a fireball, and with its size and intensity increasing, the soldiers started to fall to the ground one after another. The mighty power of a level nineteen caster was too much for them to bear. Even Marcos and Aamir were forced to start their GN shield. They had heard of Guan Dongyang’s powerful fire spell, but this was the closest they had gotten to its power.

Soon, the fireball stopped spinning, but its intensity kept on increasing. Guan Dongyang had started to blend the wind element into the spells in order to drastically increase the damage output.

More and more people either fell to the ground or had retreated further away from the source of the heat. Despite being the closest to the scorching fireball, neither Wang Tong nor Yin Tianzong showed any sign of distress.

Finally, Guan Dongyang let go of the fireball as it shot out toward its target: the building with the flag of the Cherry Blossom.

In an instant, the building was gone, together with the hundreds of souls in it.

When Guan Dongyang landed back to the ground, he still held a placid expression as if the losses of hundreds of the human lives meant nothing to him.

Everyone finally understood why Marcos had kept his silence all the while: they were dealing with a crazy psychopath.
