World-Ending Demon Emperor

Even after his daughter Hai Zhier was killed, he could have adopted a different stance instead of using the opportunity to extort.

Now, not only did he fail to gain any advantages, but he also ripped off the mask of civility, getting slapped in the face repeatedly.

Marquis Suo Lun sighed, "Lord Haigang, you still don’t understand me. If you had truly and sincerely allied with me, I would have offered you more, even promises of immense value. But you chose the immediate benefits instead."

Lord Haigang’s face twitched, but he said nothing.

Marquis Suo Lun continued, "My staying here would only add to the awkwardness, so I will take my leave. Of course, if you wish to kill me, feel free."

Having said that, Marquis Suo Lun turned to Zhi Yan and Zhuang Zhixuan and said, "Let’s go."

Then, the three of them walked out.

Lord Haigang’s face twitched repeatedly, and his arm inside his sleeve itched to give the command to unleash a volley of arrows, to turn Marquis Suo Lun into a hedgehog.

In his heart, he truly wished to tear Marquis Suo Lun limb from limb, to flay him and pull out his tendons. Lord Haigang had never been so humiliated; his hypocrisy had never been exposed to such an extent. Now, Marquis Suo Lun’s words had peeled off his mask layer by layer, revealing him to countless onlookers and utterly disgracing him.

Killing Marquis Suo Lun would relieve this terrible humiliation.

But being a man of exceptional intelligence, how could he possibly commit such a foolish act?
