Chapter 781 - Taking Advantage (1/2)
With so many things happening, Zeuss' thought process had already changed, especially when he saw the end of their old adversary, Hoppet. Lin Yun had dealt with him and the Raging Flame Beastman army so easily that it made him even more resolved.
'We have to befriend Mafa Merlin and try to maintain that friendship. This is the best for the Watson Family.'
Green didn't even notice the kind nudging of the older generation.
He put on a fake smile and glanced at Lin Yun before casually talking with arrogance. ”You are that Mafa Merlin? Hmm, being able to follow Sir Zeuss back here alive isn't too bad, your luck is quite good! The Black Tower's people didn't even have such luck.”
'Sir Zeuss is truly magnanimous, actually leading that Merlin back. He should have let him die in that world. But from his tone, I guess that Sir Zeuss must be in a very good mood. His harvest must be better than I thought.'
Green's arrogant look was akin to a superior praising a subordinate.
Zeuss' expression instantly changed when he heard that and cold sweat started forming from his forehead.
'Damnit, what is that kid doing? How could he think that Sir Mafa is acting like my subordinate?'
Lin Yun's expression didn't change as he sat on his chair while watching indifferently.
But the more it went on, the more danger Zeuss felt. 'No good, I must make Green understand, that guy is definitely misunderstanding something.'
Zeuss didn't have time to say anything before Green turned back to look at him, his enthusiasm still as strong as before. ”Sir Zeuss, since you are back, shouldn't we return? Staying here isn't good. Let's return to the warship, what do you say?”
Zeuss' face turned white as he stood up, startled.
”What? That warship? That's Sir Merlin's…”
Green had a smile on his face as he grasped Zeuss' hands and laughed out loud. ”What Sir Merlin, Sir Zeuss is such a jokester. Didn't the Black Tower's people fall? Only Sir Zeuss returned from the exploration, so the reward must naturally belong to Sir Zeuss, it's our Watson Family's. As for this Mafa Merlin…”
After saying that, Green turned his head towards Lin Yun and snorted with an arrogant expression.
”Hmpf, the Merlin Family truly doesn't know what's good for them. Kid, Sir Zeuss saved you and helped you return. That was your good fortune, Sir Zeuss being so magnanimous and kind-hearted. Don't tell me you are trying to get a share of Sir Zeuss' rewards? Such a greedy rat, you don't know how to be grateful. This was a cooperation between the Black Tower and the Watson Family, could it be that your Merlin Family still wants more? Aren't you afraid of bursting from eating too much?”
Lin Yun slightly frowned, and Zeuss' complexion became as white as a sheet of paper. He threw a pleading look at Lin Yun and promptly pulled Green to his side.
”Sir Green, how could you say this?” Zeuss hastily said, trying to clear things up.
But he was interrupted by the enthusiastic Green.
”Sir Zeuss, I understand, you are too kind, but kindness doesn't befit these rats. At worst, I can make the decision to compensate the Merlin Family with some mana crystals, since they followed you and weren't able to get anything, after all.”
After saying that, Green took out a few spirit mana crystal and threw them on the table.
'Such greedy rats! No, even greedy rats can't be that stupid. They are actually using Sir Zeuss' generosity to satisfy their shameful greed. No, I definitely can't just sit and watch. I did hear that Sir Zeuss was very considerate of the younger generation, but the Merlin Family is too crafty! They are actually taking advantage of Sir Zeuss' kindness!'
Zeuss fearfully looked at the dozen spirit mana crystals on the table and explained to Lin Yun, ”Sir Merlin, this is a misunderstanding, please don't mind this…”
'F*ck, I'm going to be killed by that fool! I thought he was a smart youth, how could he be so stupid? Not only does he not know what he is doing, but he is also making me look bad… Is he trying to get me killed? Snatching Mafa Merlin's Intrepid… Is he tired of living? Even if you dare to speak to Mafa Merlin like that, don't implicate me!'
Zeuss was extremely anxious, but it wasn't the kind of matter that could be said out loud. Who knew what that idiot would say?
As he thought of this, Zeuss grabbed Green's arm and quickly said, ”Sir Green, you might be misunderstanding something…”
Zeuss forcibly accentuated the word misunderstanding, the hint couldn't be more obvious.
He also stared at Green while continuously making signals with his eyes.
