SWNOVELS Chapter 4708 An Absolute Idiot
"Mr. Lantz, the Tenth Hall is not one who doesn't keep their promises. It's all a misunderstanding on your part!"
At just that moment, a gaunt old man slowly headed over.
"You're from the Tenth Hall?" Dorian asked, sizing him up.
"Yes. I came this time specifically to present you with twenty thousand celestial crystals as a deposit, Mr. Lantz. Rest assured that the remaining eighty thousand celestial crystals will be delivered to you on a silver platter once you've accomplished the task!"
After the old man had finished speaking, he tossed Dorian an item pouch.
Upon opening the item pouch, Dorian found that it truly contained twenty thousand celestial crystals. That discovery sent him over the moon.
"I didn't expect such generosity from the Tenth Hall, with twenty thousand celestial crystals as a deposit. But rest assured that now that I've accepted your deposit, I will undoubtedly kill Jared!" Dorian exclaimed with an excited expression.
At the sight of the twenty thousand celestial crystals, the other three men went green with envy.
"Buddy, we can also take care of Jared for you. Besides, all we need is ten thousand as a deposit. What do you think?" Theron asked the old man, simply unable to the temptation of the celestial crystals.
Hearing that, Dorian instantly blew up. This is a blatant attempt at stealing my business!
"D*mn it! You've got some nerve, daring to steal my business right in front of me!" The aura on him burst forth, giving off the impression that he was ready to spring into action at any moment.
"Mr. Lantz, please don't be angry. We would never dare compete with you. We're leaving right away!"
Orion's expression changed drastically, and he then quickly left while dragging Theron along.
When they were a distance away from Dorian, he glared at Theron, his face flushed with rage. "Theron, you're an absolute idiot! You nearly got us all killed just now. How dare you offend even the crown prince of Twilight Imperial City!"
"Orion, I... I just couldn't help it when I saw that much celestial crystal. Moreover, it seems like the Tenth Hall is quite trustworthy. They even provided a deposit."
Theron wore an aggrieved expression on his face.
"Theron, the three of us are just wandering cultivators without anyone backing us up. If we all acted like you, we would have met a tragic end long ago. If you keep this you're going to be the death of me and Orion sooner or later!" Cassian chastised in utter dissatisfaction.
"Shut up! I know what I'm doing. Dorian is merely at Top Level Ultimate Realm Level Nine. What's there to be afraid of? If we join forces, we can take him down in no time. Once he's dead, how would Twilight Imperial City possibly know who killed him? You're just a coward!” Theron roared in rebuttal.
He didn't dare vent his dissatisfaction on Orion, but when it came to Cassian, he had no qualms about doing so.
As Orion listened to Theron's words, he let out a soft sigh, seemingly very much disappointed.
Upon hearing the man's sigh, Cassian suddenly thrust his spear forward. The fiery red tip of it headed right for Theron's chest.
That sudden turn of events startled Theron. He quickly used the meteor hammer, in his hand to block it off and roared angrily, "D*mn it! Have you lost your mind that you tried to kill me?"
"Theron, it's not just me who wants you dead. Instead, Orion and I both want you gone..." Cassian amended.
"What?" Theron turned to look at Orion incredulously. But before he could even speak, the latter had already thrown a punch his way.
Bam!
His physical body instantly shattered, his soul leaving it.
"Orion, why... why?" Theron's soul demanded furiously.
"You're just too much of an idiot. Sooner or later, you would've gotten us both killed, so we might as well just get rid of you now to avoid trouble in the future!"
After Orion had finished speaking, he swept his hand out. Theron's soul was instantly obliterated, and it was as if he had never existed at all.
Only his meteor hammer fell to the ground heavily, promptly carving out a crater.
