Chapter 269 - 270: It Really Is an Illusion
"Is it because of my greed that you chose to come out and meet me?" Mu Can was filled with doubt. How could such a thing happen? Were not high-level seniors like this supposed to prefer honest and simple young people? Why did he manage to take two treasures at the same time, yet received the approval of such a senior?
"Hehe, if you were like those dullards, never using your brain, I simply wouldn’t have appeared. Tell me, lad, what is your desire? Even if you want to be the ruler of the Empire, I can grant that wish."
A figure slowly emerged in front of Mu Can; it was a strange-looking middle-aged man with a cunning appearance and his triangular eyes filled with weirdness and craftiness.
Mu Can was startled and became discreetly vigilant. Any normal person, upon seeing such a bizarre person appear, would probably not remain calm.
"Junior appreciates the senior’s kind intention, but I am not interested in becoming any king. However, I do have a request, I wonder if the senior could grant it."
Mu Can was about to bid farewell, but changed his mind on the spot. This strange figure might just be the opportunity he needed to escape from the illusion.
"Oh? What is your request?" The eerie figure was shrouded with a haze, only revealing a pair of triangular eyes that gleamed with a chilling light.
Looking at this figure, Mu Can was on his guard. As the saying goes, one’s appearance is a reflection of their heart, and the way a person looks is largely determined by what’s inside.
This figure, if set loose outside would undoubtedly frighten children. Harmful intentions should not be harbored, but one must guard against others.
