Chapter 1708  A Chief Administrator For Reasons (2)

Tang Shaoyang looked at Count Fontanella, taking a step forward, and questioned the trembling noble, "Do you still have this scroll in your inventory!?"

Count Fontanella was thinking in his head about how to escape from this devil. Before he could think of anything or answer. A sharp pain came from his right thigh. The pain made his leg go weak and fell on his right knee.

"Do you still have the same scroll in your inventory!?"

The question was repeated, but he did not want to give up yet. He was about to use a movement skill, but he realized he could not use the skill. Then the sharp pain transmitted from his left thigh, forcing him to kneel to Tang Shaoyang.

Tang Shaoyang bent slightly and grabbed Count Fontanella's cheek. He forced Fontanella to look at him and asked again.

"Do you still have the same scroll in your inventory!?"

Count Fontanella remained stubborn under the pain and pressure. He swung his right hand, trying to punch Tang Shaoyang's face. But the fist he expected to hit Tang Shaoyang's cheek never came.

He looked to the right, and his entire right arm fell to the ground.

Arrrggg—

Tang Shaoyang hit Count Fontanella's chin with his palm, forcefully closing his mouth to stop the scream.

"I don't understand why you choose the hard way when you can just answer me. Do you still have the same scroll in your inventory!?"

"Yes— No! Arrrgghhh!" When his answer changed from yes to no, his remaining arm fell off to the ground. A clean cut to the shoulder.

"Which one!? Do you still have it or not!?"

"No! No! I don't have it! I gave one to Duke Amalric and told him to activate it in case of emergency!"

As soon as Count Fontanella answered, three more blades pierced his head, killing him instantly. That was what he wanted to know. Then he glanced at his Admin Helpers, "Kill Duke Amalric or take the scroll from him. It doesn't matter!"

They nodded and left to look for Duke Amalric except for Ira. Her chest was tight when she saw Tang Shaoyang like this. This was completely different from Tang Shaoyang who was not in combat mode.

When her captain was like this, he exuded a fierce pressure that made her nervous. She felt like she would be hit if she did something wrong when he was like this now.

Ira trusted Tang Shaoyang that he was not that kind of person and approached her captain, "What about them?"

She was curious about what happened between her captain and the Junior Administrator from The Daenelis Clan. However, she was smart enough not to ask what happened. She asked how they should act in the following mission.

"Ignore them. We don't need to work together with a bunch of incompetent fools!"

Tang Shaoyang had expectations when he knew about The Daenelis Clan and Khaya who was a Chief Administrator. However, they performed below his expectations so far. Far below his expectations for a team with an experienced leader.

"We will meet Anne after we take care of Duke Amalric. After taking care of Baron Navares, we will hunt the Void Creatures."

Their mission was to catch the culprit and kill the Void Creatures in this world. The mission did not specify if they only needed to kill the summoned Void Creature through the summoning scroll or The Void Creature that The Emperor released into this world. Meaning they had to kill all Void Creatures in this world even if they were not summoned through the summoning scroll.

"Don't believe him, Khaya! He tried to ruin our plan! I tried to stop him, but then he tried to kill me!"

From the other side, Arsus who woke up after getting healed, immediately shouted and pointed his finger at Tang Shaoyang. Despite the beating, he did not show fear. He believed that he lost because he was caught off guard, not because Tang Shaoyang was stronger than him.

If they had to fight again when he was ready, he believed he could take on Tang Shaoyang. Especially now Khaya, a Chief Administrator, was here. They could take down Tang Shaoyang. That was what he believed.

Avyn came down from the ice wall and chuckled, "Try to kill you?"

Arsus turned toward the voice and shouted at Avyn, "Who are you!? How dare you laugh!"

"He tried to kill you? Do you think you would be alive by now if he wanted you to die?" Avyn shook her head, "A fool indeed. What's worse is that he is also incompetent and weak!"

Arsus was about to get up and attack Avyn, but Khaya pushed the man down, "Stay still, Arsus! I will kick you out of the team if you move!"

Arsus stopped and looked at Khaya in shock. He knew Khaya was serious after seeing her grave expression. She was angry that Tang Shaoyang called her incompetent, but that was the harsh truth. They barely contributed to this mission.

Furthermore, she was also aware that the woman tried to provoke Arsus to attack her. It was so obvious. The woman wanted Arsus to attack; she had the justification to retaliate and maybe kill Arsus.

After a quick observation of her surroundings, she could guess roughly what happened here. The two quivering families, the beheaded Imperial Guards, and the headless Count Fontanelly's soldiers. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Arsus most likely was letting Count Fontanella gather the sacrifice to summon the Void Creature. Then he planned to kill that Void Creature for the bonus credits. However, Tang Shaoyang stopped Count Fontanella and saved the residents from getting executed.

With Arsus' temper, he would likely attack Tang Shaoyang. However, the latter beat Arsus down to half-death. As the woman said just now, Arsus would be dead by now if Tang Shaoyang wanted him dead. He never intended to kill Arsus from the start.

Khaya quickly found out everything that happened here. She might not be a hundred percent accurate with her deduction, but what happened here must be close to her deduction. She did not need to question Arsu as it might hurt his pride further.
