Chapter 931 - 930: East City, Kill
Devin King and Miles O’Brien were also pushed into a corner, with no other options. If they didn’t speak like this, not only would the boy die, Devin King would also die, and Miles O’Brien would be shackled at her arm joints and taken back to the Glowing Moon Star.
So, the only chance now was to tempt that insatiably greedy official with a Middle-grade Immortal Artifact. As long as they let the boy go to retrieve the Treasure Sword, he would certainly find Yusuf Zuck. And as long as they found Yusuf Zuck, he would definitely have a way to save them.
"You two trust him this much? What if he takes the Middle-grade Immortal Artifact and doesn’t come back? Won’t both of your heads be in jeopardy then?" Inspector Liu scratched his chin and said.
"Then we’d be considered blind and ignorant!" Miles O’Brien declared vehemently.
"Right, then you can take our heads!" Devin King also nodded in agreement.
"Fine," Inspector Liu slapped his thigh vigorously, "Your heads are worth nothing to me. However, if you truly give me a Middle-grade Immortal Sword, you will not only be faultless but also credited. You belong to the Correct Unity Sect, right? When the time comes, I, the inspector, can give unlimited resources from the Holy Sect to your Correct Unity Sect!"
"Let him go, let him fetch the Middle-grade Immortal Artifact. The time limit is four hours. If he doesn’t return in four hours, I’ll assume you’ve absconded with the artifact, and then I will take their heads!" Inspector Liu exclaimed loudly.
"No, no, wait for me, wait for me." The boy’s mouth was stained with blood, his entire body in extreme pain, especially after the rough throw from Item Wild that had seriously injured him. Limping and staggering, he ran out like crazy. Despite the pain, his speed did not decrease in the slightest.
"Tie them up first, hmph." Sect Master Conor Hopkins snorted angrily and cursed silently in his heart. How could this little Correct Unity Sect have a Middle-grade Immortal Sword? But why hadn’t they said so earlier? If they had spoken sooner, the Middle-grade Immortal Sword would have been his—now, Inspector Liu was the lucky one!
He believed that the Correct Unity Sect harbored ulterior motives. The reason they had come with him and insisted on participating in this so-called Hero Assembly was to curry favor with influential figures.
