Chapter 46 - 46 Wherever You Go, You Offend Someone
46 Wherever You Go, You Offend Someone
Xie En went on and on, pouring out his grievances.
Hearing him speak, Xu Yuan had a deeper understanding of the situation of the Lords. Not everyone had an excellent foundation and talent like Su Wan. Even her friends were considered a very outstanding group among the Lords.
Many Overlords were very cautious when they entered the overlord Plane. The fight for every resource and the elimination of every enemy was a decision they made after careful consideration and contemplation.
A new Lord like Su Wan, who was capable of killing barbarians, was something that a Lord like Xie En could never even imagine himself doing.
Even Shi Linglong looked up to Su Wan.
Shi Linglong, who had an S-class hero, was surrounded by the Barbarian Army several times, but in the end, she escaped unscathed. Luck was on her side but it was also because she had Su Wan by her side.
However, Shi Linglong’s talent and strength was not inferior to others. Her talent determined her ability to be a Lord and her probability of receiving an S-class hero, Flower Fairy.
With the S-class hero, the Flower Fairy, as her trump card, she could develop the resources around her territory smoothly.
If the Flower Fairy didn’t exist, Shi Linglong might have been trembling with fear as a newcomer in the Overlord Plane.
As for Overlords Like Xie En, they had to rely on other Overlords to become powerful. If not, an extreme alternative was for them to rely on the native creatures of the Overlord Plane.
In order to obtain resources and upgrade his territory, Xie En had given up his dignity and become a slave to the Man-Eating Ant Emperor.
Although the Man-Eating Ant Emperor did not really like the Overlords, it thought it was a good idea to join forces with an Overlord to bring down other Overlords.
Therefore, the Man-Eating Ant Emperor accepted Xie En and the other Overlords’ offer and provided them with resources. It used them to annex the territories of other Overlords for its own.
This was when Shi Linglong had heard the other Lords conspiring to use the man-eating ants to kill other Lords.
“Are the other Lords really that miserable?” a voice rang behind them and Xu Yuan and the Flower Fairy turned around to look.
Only then did they notice Su Wan and Shi Linglong. They had heard everything.
When Xie En saw them, he became even more agitated. “Hahahaha! You geniuses don’t know anything, do you? The circle of people you have around you are all like yourselves. In your eyes, having an A-class hero or S-class hero is a common thing.” Xie En looked furious. “Perhaps in your opinion, a Lord with an F-class hero is just a piece of trash! After all, what kind of a Lord would form a contract with an F-class hero, right?”
…
Xie En roared and covered his head with both hands. He looked like he was in agony.
“People like you don’t understand us at all. You can’t even imagine our struggle and our pain! All you so-called geniuses deserve to die!”
Xie En’s eyes were bloodthirsty. He stared at Su Wan and Shi Linglong with murderous intent. “Go to hell!”
Xie En rushed to Su Wan. Xu Yuan was as calm as ever. The Flower Fairy was anxious. She shouted, “Watch out!”
The Flower Fairy flew to them. Thick vines erupted in front of Su Wan, blocking Xie En’s path.
At this moment, the Man-Eating Ant Emperor, who was observing everything, seemed to be tired of it all.
“Enough!” said the Man-Eating Ant Emperor. “Thank you for your cooperation. But now, your ridiculous life is over!”
The Man-Eating Ant Emperor opened its mouth wide. A white ball of mist was sucked away from Xie En’s body and swallowed by the huge creature.
Xie En’s body fell to the ground. Xie En wasn’t dead yet. He struggled with all his might, looking directly at Su Wan.
“You don’t need to be so arrogant. Our organization, Dark Screen, will wipe out all the geniuses in one fell swoop. None of you will escape!” Xie En used the last of his strength to blurt out those words. He finally collapsed and no longer made a sound.
Shi Linglong and Su Wan looked at each other, both feeling very confused. Who had they offended?
They had only come to take a look because of the commotion. The two of them didn’t even do anything and they were hated and targeted for some reason. It seemed that they were on the hit list of some organization also.
Su Wan returned to her senses. She suspiciously looked at Shi Linglong. She quietly moved a few steps away.
Shi Linglong was also confused.
“Linglong, wherever you go, you offend someone!” said Su Wan as an explanation. “I was just passing by! I am being hated and targeted for no reason at all!”
Shi Linglong scowled. For a moment, she thought something was wrong with her which made her attract problematic things.
Shi Linglong couldn’t admit that. It didn’t matter whether she attracted trouble everywhere she went. She just couldn’t accept it! If she did, she would be alone, and no one would be willing to befriend her.
Shi Linglong saw Xu Yuan and Flower Fairy from the corner of her eyes. She felt relieved. “You can’t blame me for this!” she said, pointing at Xu Yuan and the Flower Fairy. “I am sure they did something this time.”
“They must have offended this golden-haired guy! And since he found out that they are in alliance with us, he hates us too,” Shi Linglong insisted.
Su Wan looked at Xu Yuan and the Flower Fairy suspiciously. Su Wan felt her blood pressure rising again.
Xu Yuan always acted innocent as though he never did anything wrong. But somehow everything seemed to be connected to him.
Without waiting for Su Wan to ask, Xu Yuan took the initiative to admit it. “She is right. We raided that Lord’s territory and that’s why he hated you.”
Xu Yuan flew to the ruins in a circle. Su Wan and Shi Linglong noticed that the territory was indeed destroyed.
“So, this guy is one of the Lords who attacked us?” Shi Linglong finally felt relief. “See, Wanwan? I guessed it right. That Lord hated us because these two destroyed his territory. It had nothing to do with my bad luck.”
Shi Linglong was trying her best to prove that she was not some sort of trouble magnet and that she didn’t offend anyone.
But Su Wan wasn’t listening to her. Her attention was focused on the Man-Eating Ant Emperor because it had finally made a move!
