Chapter 386 - Cruel Humphrey
Chapter 386: Cruel Humphrey
Vito contacted his subordinates outside.
Inside the ring-shaped spaceship.
The rulers stared at the three-dimensional projection, and a new image appeared.
White Wolves were huddled together.
Their heads were lowered, and their bodies were trembling. They were like lambs waiting to be slaughtered, filled with fear and despair.
These White Wolves were mainly women and children, the vulnerable groups.
The kings all had complex expressions. There was anger, pain, and even more helplessness.
They could guess what Humphrey and company were going to do, but they could do nothing. They felt very powerless.
“Kings, I can still talk to you calmly now. This means that I am giving you a chance.
“But if you still choose to reject me, you know what will happen.
“You don’t have to agree immediately. We will give you half an hour to consider.
“Here’s a reminder, don’t cut the signal.”
With that, Humphrey immediately flew the battleship out.
This was because the battleship had reached its limit. If they did not leave now, the battleship would disintegrate.
The command room was silent.
Looking at the three projections in front of them, the rulers of the various countries gritted their teeth and clenched their fists. Their eyes were bloodshot.
There was silence for a moment.
A king said, “At this point, we cannot compromise.”
“Yes! Countless clansmen have died at the hands of the Moon Wolf race. If we compromise, then their deaths will be meaningless.”
“But… but they are all women and children!”
“If I had known, I would have gone out to fight them.”
“It’s too late to say anything now…”
The kings fell silent again.
Half an hour passed quickly.
At this moment, Humphrey and company appeared in the three-dimensional projection again.
“Time’s up, my kings. Have you made your decision?”
Humphrey sat in front of the group of White Wolves with a smile on his face. He picked up a child with one hand and appeared to be very affectionate.
However, the White Wolf child was very resistant. His eyes were filled with fear.
Seeing this, all the kings instantly lost their composure.
“Release my clansmen quickly!”
Humphrey narrowed his eyes and smiled. “Then you’ll have to give the Mechanical Hearts in exchange, or else…”
Humphrey dragged out his voice and rubbed the White Wolf child’s head with a meaningful smile.
All the kings’ eyes were bloodshot. They wished they could rush over now.
Humphrey continued, “Don’t be so fierce. As long as you agree, I will definitely release your people and guarantee that I will not harm them.
“However, if you continue to refuse…”
At this point, a ruthless glint flashed in Humphrey’s eyes as he covered the head of the White Wolf child with his palm.
Under the watch of all the kings, Humphrey released a burst of energy from his palm. The White Wolf child was instantly drained of blood and turned into a dried corpse.
“You…” All the kings were enraged. Killing intent instantly filled the entire control room, but this could not change anything.
Humphrey, who was in the projection, did not think much of it. He casually tossed away the corpse and continued smiling.
“Our stance is clear. If you continue to insist on keeping those hearts, then we will kill one of your clansmen every minute until you agree.”
Humphrey asked his subordinate to grab one of the White Wolf women and to make a move as soon as the time was up.
At this moment, all the kings were burning with anxiety. They were cursing away, but it was useless.
If they wanted to protect the lives of these people, they could only agree to Humphrey’s request.
However, now that they had used up the Mechanical Hearts. They could not hand them over even if they agreed to the deal now.
One minute passed quickly.
Without warning, Humphrey ordered his men to take action.
Accompanied by a scream, the White Wolf woman fell into a pool of blood. Her body was still convulsing. She only stopped moving after a few seconds.
After the White Wolf woman died, the subordinate grabbed another White Wolf child.
One minute countdown.
Humphrey’s face was somber as he stared at the kings in the projection.
Even though he appeared so composed, he was actually not calm at all.
If they insisted on not trading, he could only make a reckless move.
That would be taking a big risk. Humphrey didn’t want to go that far.
Another minute passed.
Humphrey glanced at the White Wolf kings. Seeing that they did not say anything, he signaled to his subordinate that it was time to take action.
Swoosh!
Blood splattered as another White Wolf fell into a pool of blood. Furthermore, it was a child.
As they watched their clansmen die tragically, the kings were furious but also helpless.
“You are all heroes of the White Wolf race. When we become stronger in the future, we will definitely make the Moon Wolf race pay with their blood.”
The eyes of all the kings were red, and they became even more determined.
“The hatred of extermination is absolutely irreconcilable. You will definitely regret it.”
After saying this, the kings came to an agreement and cut the communication.
The projection suddenly disappeared. Humphrey and company were stunned.
“It seems like these White Wolf kings are determined not to make an exchange,” Duke said.
Vito roared furiously and swung his hand. Energy waves were like incomparably sharp blades that instantly killed the remaining White Wolves. He did so to vent the anger in his heart.
“Since they refuse to cooperate, I’ll kill them all,” Vito said angrily.
Right now, he didn’t care about anything, and he would never make more considerations.
Humphrey’s expression was overcast as he glanced quickly at Alston and Duke.
Aston and Duke noticed his gaze.
“General Humphrey, no more hesitation. If Gabriel finds out, we’ll get nothing,” Duke began.
Aston nodded. “To us, the biggest threat is those two humans.
“One of them is an Immortal. The other one probably isn’t.
“However, we have the numbers. If we really fight, our chances of winning are higher. ”
When Vito heard this, he said extremely conceitedly, “What’s a mere Immortal to be afraid of? I can chop off his head with one hand.”
Aside from Gabriel and Humphrey, Vito was indeed more powerful than Aston and Duke. He was confident.
However, the environment here was harsh, and it would affect one’s performance.
Humphrey’s brain worked quickly as he thought of other solutions, but they rejected all of them.
“It looks like we have no other choice.”
Humphrey came to terms with reality.
Before they set off, Vito, who did not seem to know how to use his brain, suddenly said, “If they destroy the Mechanical Hearts, then our efforts will be wasted.”
“They wouldn’t do that,” declared Humphrey confidently.
“Why?” Vito looked puzzled.
“The Mechanical Hearts are the fastest way for them to become stronger. As long as there is a glimmer of hope, they definitely will not do so.”
“What if they really did?” Vito was a cynic as well.
Humphrey rolled his eyes at him. “If we don’t have the Mechanical Hearts, we’ll still be able to get Keriau Gold.
“That is an amount stored in eight processing plants.
“Although its value cannot be compared to the Mechanical Hearts, it can be exchanged for many good things in the black market. It is enough to boost our strength significantly.”
“You’re right! Keriau Gold is also a good thing. If we get our hands on it, we won’t have wasted our efforts.” Vito had no other questions.
Just like that, they steered the battleship towards the gas giant once again..
