Chapter 563 -376: “What a good tea!”_2
“All players on North Maple Planet hold Mr. Scar Dog and Mr. Chen Yi in the highest regard, respects to you!”
Hmm.
The time gap between this announcement and the previous one was no more than 5 minutes.
…
“What does this mean?”
Li Yi, who had been feeling regretful, was a bit confused when he heard the announcement, “Did they just betray us? That quickly? The leader was killed within 5 minutes?”
“Doesn’t the North Maple Planet have an army? Don’t they have any loyal followers?”
“He was the leader of a Threefold Planet, after all. Isn’t this a bit too weak for rule to be overthrown in just 5 minutes?”
“…”
Meanwhile, upon receiving the news, the Lisu Tribal Chief’s face twitched quizzically as he spoke in a faint voice, “I heard that all the military forces and loyal followers under the Former Leader of North Maple have betrayed him, without exception.”
The shock of this news was the greatest for him.
This 𝓬ontent is taken from fгeewebnovёl.co𝙢.
He suddenly remembered that some time ago, all the players of the Lisu tribe were forced by Chen Yi to wear the title “Target of God Yi”; this made their players obstructed everywhere they went for a long period.
Back then, Chief Li had suggested that he pay a large sum of money to Chen Yi to avoid disaster, saying that it might spare them from the danger of extinction later on.
But at that time, he was really reluctant to give away that money.
Later, he even reached out to a player from Sixfold Planet, attempting to take down Chen Yi in a beheading operation. And during that short time, he always felt that the looks in the eyes of his loyal followers were odd, occasionally surrounding him closely.
He had thought it was because these followers were afraid of Chen Yi’s arrival and thus acted unnaturally protective, ready to help him fend off the enemy at the first opportunity, which even moved him somewhat.
Deep down, he felt that with such a group of followers who trusted him so much, he certainly couldn’t just give in easily and diminish his own prestige in their eyes.
If it came to it, they would simply go down fighting!
Now he realized that those close followers were not afraid of Chen Yi’s arrival—they were probably ready to betray and get rid of him quickly, lest Chen Yi held them accountable and wiped out their race.
“…”
Thinking of this, the Lisu Tribal Chief couldn’t help but slightly twitch the corners of his expressionless mouth, having never considered he had been so close to death.
…
Meanwhile.
The onlookers around North Maple Planet were also speaking with sighs of reflection.
“The leader of North Maple Planet was pretty tough, but it’s clear that his people weren’t, too bad. I really thought North Maple Planet could keep up the resistance, you know. If they had, I would have admired North Maple Clan as a group of real men.”
“Give it a rest, stop making sarcastic comments. If you’re so great, why did you pay the protection fee? Go to Sky City now and say you want to return that porcelain and get a refund from Chen Yi. If you dare to do that, then I’ll admit you’ve got guts.”
“Alright, it seems this farce should come to an end now. It’s a pity; I was looking forward to seeing Yi wipe out a race. I’ve always heard about Yi wiping out races but never got the chance to witness it. They say Yi can annihilate a race in less than an hour.”
“About the same, I guess. Didn’t you see Yi’s firepower when the Void Clan invaded? That firepower directly covered half the sky, and even such a tough Race like the Void Clan was forced to flee. How long do you think your race could last?”
“No use.”
A player watching from the side shook his head, “No matter how tough you are, it won’t work. You know the player from Sixfold Planet that Yi wiped out, right? That Sixfold Planet had the ability to share life among their players, which means you could never kill any player of that race unless you wiped out the entire race.”
“And then?”
“Then one of their players went to trouble Chen Yi.”
“He was taken out by Chen Yi on the spot, and afterwards you all saw what happened. The damage Chen Yi dealt to that player was shared among all the players of Sixfold Planet, resulting in the extinction of the entire planet!”
“That planet had millions, maybe even tens of millions of people. It was wiped out like that without even seeing Chen Yi in person. Think about it, how terrifying was Chen Yi’s attack that killed that Sixfold Planet player?!”
“I bet it was the same attack that killed Jiang Chenglu!”
“Enough, can you just stop? I’ve already paid the protection fee, and your words are starting to scare me again.”
…
Meanwhile.
In a deep part of North Maple Clan’s territory.
Inside a tea room.
An old man was sitting cross-legged in front of a tea table, a smug smile playing around his brows as he lifted a cup of tea to his lips and took a sip before he couldn’t help but exclaim, “What a good tea!”
He was the former leader of the North Maple Clan.
He hadn’t wanted to pay the protection money, hoping to gamble on Chen Yi’s vanity not demanding it directly, as demanding protection money didn’t sound reputable. But to his surprise, Chen Yi didn’t care about saving face.
Not even a single day could he wait.
Men were sent on the very day.
What else could be done? He played the coward, but he didn’t want to give in so easily, as he sought to establish an image of resilience and strength. After all, surrending after being confronted seemed far too spineless.
So, he issued a tough public announcement first.
Right after the announcement, without any hesitation, he had his most trustworthy confidant organize a rebellion to kill him and publish the capitulating announcement.
The public and outsiders were oblivious to this; in everyone’s eyes, the old leader of the North Maple Clan was defiant until death, ultimately betrayed, and the citizens of the North Maple Clan raised the protection money.
Yes.
The citizens of the North Maple Clan raised the protection money.
The primary reason he was reluctant to pay out of the national treasury was that once spent, the treasury would be depleted, significantly reducing his quality of life. Therefore, he plotted the rebellion.
It would not only leave him with a good reputation.
It also allowed his confidant to take over as the North Maple Clan’s acting leader—the first order of business being to collect protection money from the people. Since he had already issued a tough public announcement, the North Maple citizens knew that they needed to raise the protection money immediately to avoid annihilation!
Therefore, no one delayed.
Even those who were usually the most avaricious contributed their share.
2.7 billion Points were quickly raised.
They were already en route to Sky City by this time.
It was a triple win! He had established an image of defying power to the death, used the money from the North Maple players instead of the national treasury, and had smoothly escaped the whirlpool of events.
In time.
After returning to North Maple Planet from hell and reclaiming his rights and position, Chen Yi wouldn’t pay any attention to him, nor would he notice that he had returned from hell alive. It might even be that Chen Yi wouldn’t care whether he was dead or alive.
After all, why would someone like Chen Yi bother with such trifles?
What was this?
This was the allure of cunning.
With that thought.
The old man couldn’t help but sip the tea from the book once more, sighing with appreciation, “Good tea, indeed. Our tea from the North Maple Clan is just as exquisite as that in the hands of Chen Yi.”
But just then—
A man in a black suit walked in, striding towards him and bending forward with a respectful expression.
“Leader, greetings.”
“Mhm, speak.”
The old man simply lifted his eyelids for a glance, then said nothing more, waiting patiently for the man to speak. This man was several ranks below his most loyal confidant, not yet worthy of idle chatter with him.
“Nothing much.”
The man in the suit spoke succinctly, pulling a silencer-equipped gun from his pocket and pressing it against the old man’s head, “It’s just a farewell.”
The next second—
Before the incredulous eyes of the North Maple Clan’s old leader, the trigger was pulled.
“Bang.”
A somewhat muffled sound echoed through the entire teahouse.
And the leader succumbed amidst unwillingness and despair, slowly collapsing into a pool of blood.
After doing all this.
The man in the black suit stepped out of the teahouse, removed the gun and white gloves, tossing them casually into the arms of a subordinate waiting at the door.
