The Adventures Of The Young Master

Chapter 990 Arrogance



Jin Rou smiled while looking at Mayor Fuaxen, "I guess you really take me for a fool? You think that I don\'t know the Dao Scripture is in your hands, Mayor?"

"That is impossible." Mayor Fuaxen was already losing his patience, but he still tried to calm down, "The Dao Scripture has been lost a long time ago. How could I have it, when I\'m just a mere mortal?"

"Ambition." Jin Rou responded, "Mayor, you have not yet lost your ambition to get off from the restrictions of being a mortal with endless cycle of reincarnation. You are fed enough."

Mayor Fuaxen shook after hearing this. His expression was already giving him away, confirming Jin Rou\'s words. The mortal old man was surprised, too. He maybe didn\'t know that the mayor had this scripture.

The Dao Scripture was one of the Nine Heavenly Dao Treasures of Mortalis. These treasures were not made by anyone, as they were created by the heaven and earth itself. It was the best of the best of treasures and Han Li\'s vault had only one of the nine.

And once he had gotten his hands on the Dao Scripture, the Heavenly Dao Treasures in his possession would be now two.

"Mayor, you really have the scripture...?" The mortal old man wanted to confirm it. But the mayor was not responding. By this, he already got the answer he wanted.

"This ring and the Dao Scripture, and I will seal that crack in the void." Jin Rou repeated, "Compared to the Dragon\'s Plate safety and its vessels, losing the treasures are worth it, no? Besides, you have no chance in understanding the Dao Scripture even if you have it."

"Aren\'t you being too greedy, Young Noble?" Mayor Fuaxen was clenching his fists in rage, "I\'m already giving you the ring, and you still want the Dao Scripture?"

"The ring is pointless unless I have the Dao Scripture. Of all people, you should be aware of it." Jin Rou said.

"Likewise, the Dao Scripture is pointless unless I have the ring." The mayor responded.

The ring and the Dao Scripture were always a pair that couldn\'t exist without each other. In order to work, they had to be present together.

"So you want to reach an impasse." Jin Rou could see the mayor\'s intention. He was willing to give the ring to Jin Rou to avoid the Dao Scripture from being used by anyone. Since he couldn\'t part with the scripture, the best he could do was to remove his right to maneuver it, also.

"That way, everyone is happy." Mayor Fuaxen knew that he would no longer have the chance to learn the scripture. Still, it\'s better that no one learned it if it\'s not him.

Jin Rou chuckled after hearing this, "Mayor Fuaxen, I admire your courage to actually set the lines for me. But it looks like you have forgotten about one thing."

He paused for a moment and said, "You are asking for my help since you cannot do it. Not even those lineages you have a good connection with would be able to. You are desperate for help, but you can\'t even grant a simple request?"

"You call taking the ring and the Dao Scripture a simple request?" The mayor snorted. He didn\'t bother holding back his rage, "If you don\'t help, we can still find ways to amend this situation. You aren\'t the last hope we have."

"Then I\'m glad that we finally reached an agreement." Jin Rou stood up, "After all, I don\'t want to help you anymore. Keep the treasures to yourself. Who knows, you might get lucky."

The mayor was stunned. This greedy man just gave up on the treasures like that?

Jin Rou was about to go out when the mortal old man blocked his path, "Visitor, my apologies. But I don\'t think I can let you out unless you have an agreement with us."

Jin Rou smirked. He turned his back with a relaxing smile and said, "Do you think that because of top lineages not wanting to cross you, I will be the same?"

"It\'s better not to cross us, Young Noble. It won\'t bring you benefits, anyway." The mayor said coldly.

Jin Rou laughed like he had encountered the greatest joke ever, "This is funny. The mortals here have grown balls to actually even want to manipulate me."

"Boom!" Jin Rou\'s aura exploded and destroyed the entire office. The mayor and the old man fell back to avoid the suppressing aura which was leaking from Jin Rou.

He was like an angered god when he looked at the two fools who courted death.

"Whoosh!" Jin Rou grabbed the mayor and the mortal old man by their necks which made them struggle for their lives desperately, "I applaud you two for actually trying to threaten me."

The mayor and the old man were still struggling by Jin Rou\'s grip but he was too strong so they couldn\'t resist. Their life was slowly being drained by Jin Rou who wouldn\'t hesitate to kill.

"If you two die here, forget about being reincarnated. You two can just go to hell if it exists." Jin Rou tightened his grip and was about to kill them once and for all.

"Let go of them, Visitor!" One mortal said, "Offending us is a grave mistake!"

Jin Rou broke the bones of that mortal who just talked, "Noisy."

"Please... Please spare... us..." Mayor Fuaxen was hanging by the thread. He was at Jin Rou\'s mercy and the ancestral ground wasn\'t even reacting despite them being in danger.

They finally realized that they offended someone their Dragon\'s Plate couldn\'t handle.

"Spare you? Too late for being too greedy and arrogant, Mayor." Jin Rou sneered. He was looking at the two with utter disdain, "Killing the two of you will be better to deduce the stupid people of Dragon\'s Plate."

"We... will give... you the... Scripture as well..." The mayor showed his final card. In this hopeless situation, the Dao Scripture was the last hope he had to survive.
