Chapter 1668: Primordial Celestial Dew
“It was you, Qi Yue?”
The owner of the Celestial Market On A Cloud paid the escaping thieves or the inquiring woman no heed. He was looking at the old man with wide-eyed surprise, anger, sorrow, and other emotions. “Why was it you, Qi Yue?”
He had suspected that someone in their midst was colluding with outsiders, but never Qi Yue. It was because Qi Yue was the oldest and most trusted aide of the Celestial Market On A Cloud. He did not think that he had mistreated the man in any way either. He could not understand why the old man would betray him and the Celestial Market On A Cloud.
“Why?”
The old man named Qi Yue cracked a sneer in the face of his former compatriots’ questioning. “You should already know the answer.”
The owner looked puzzled. “What do you mean?”
“Tsk... forgot your promise to me already?”
Qi Yue taunted, “You may have forgotten, but I have not! Back then, the reward you promised me for elevating you to the status of owner is—”
“Silence!” The owner interrupted him before he could finish.
“What’s wrong? Are you afraid?” Qi Yue sneered. “You dare to do it, but you won’t allow me to say it?”
“You’re not the boss of me though. Not anymore. I’m going to tell everyone about it and let them judge who has the right of the matter!”
“You—” The owner was just about to stop him when he let out a muffled groan and looked to be in pain. The nail behind his back was screaming like a living object and slowly crawling into his body through some sort of anomalous power. Not even the owner was able to break free from it immediately.
