Chapter 969 "A Demon's Slave (1)"

Once the youth in question finishes leaving the tavern, Bai Yan didn't start her carnage nor did she attack anyone; instead, she gave them all a sweeping glance of her gaze before taking a seat on one of the cleaner chairs here and began tapping her finger on the tabletop.

“Those who chased me that day, who else do you remember?" she asks the big guy with that unchanging smile.

No answer came, only a hanging silence in the air.

“It's fine if you don't say, just that…." Lazing against the back of the chair, she stretches out her arm and pulls Dragony over into her embrace, those fingers caressing through the girl's hair with a sly smirk.

“Those people of mine outside are hungry. If you're not afraid of them tearing into you to feed then go ahead and cover for those involved."

Though that remark was soft and melodic to the ear, it's the same as a death threat to Wu Xiong. Shuddering, he raises his head in horror: "I… I'll speak…"

Without ado, the big guy spilled the beans on everyone he knew that was part of the chase. Thankfully his memories are good so the names came easy. It's not like he doesn't want to resist; after all, this was the same as selling out everyone in the city, meaning a target was now firmly planted on his back from now on.

“Half an hour, find everyone on the list and bring them here! Don't think about escaping! Even if you run to the ends of the world, I will have ways to find and turn you to as.h.!.+"

Wu Xiong’s heart shuddered at those words, his face white and full of despair. “Great merciful, what if they won’t come with me, what then?”

Turning sharp at the suggestion, Bai Yan had an air of dominance: “It matters not if they are willing. My subordinates will follow you, and when they refuse, they will take them whether they agree or not. Your job is to lead them and that's all you need to do."

The big guy gulped at the impending event, showing a face uglier than watching his own manhood go limp.

“Please lady, if I were to… find them for you, can you spare this dog here?"

Showing contempt at this shameless b.a.s.t.a.r.d: "First off, dogs are also an ethnic group among the demon race so your words are not a plea to my ear, it's an insult to said dogs. Secondly, you don't have the qualification to bargain with me. Don't forget, this whole thing was caused by you. As the leader, you think I will let the mastermind go?"

Wu Xiong’s face was now so pale that it's hard to find any traces of blood on his face. He knows, Bai Yan's not going to spare him. Now the issue was what does she plan to do with him.

“But…” Suddenly adding this in, Bai Yan's lip curved into a smirk and raised a hopeful light in the man's eye. "If you can't even manage to do what I've given you, then dying will be the least of your worry!"

In that instant, that flare of light had died down again. Even so, Wu Xiong's not going to give up just yet. He's made it so far in life, he won't allow himself to perish so easily. "Lady, I will go right away!"

Maybe she will at least let me live if I perform well….

In a flash, the man's big hulky figure was gone and out of sight, disappearing from the eyes of the patrons left in this tavern.

“Lady, everything was orchestrated by Wu Xiong. We here did nothing so can we leave?" One of the braver patrons decides to ask after losing their nerve and patient.
