Flames erupted all over the sky.
The intense explosion didn't disturb anything in the surroundings. It was like a non-existent breeze that didn't attract anyone's attention.
Hyena Boss fell on the ground heavily.
The Clown pulled him up and whispered: "I remember someone saying that they wanted to eat me"
"Wait a minute" Hyena Boss breathed heavily, "I'm only an executor, someone wants to see you"
"I won't"
The Clown drew a Card.
Bang
Gatling gun, M134 revolving machine gun!
The Clown slung the machine gun at his waist and aimed it at Hyena Boss' head:
"As soon as they start to rotate, you need to say your last words. Remember, the secret to saying your last words is that it can't be too long, otherwise you won't be able to finish it"
The machine gun slowly began to rotate.
All of a sudden.
A slender hand reached out and stopped the machine gun.
Yana.
She appeared in front of the Clown and whispered: "Wait a minute, I can sense the power of another Deity from him"
"So what? Even if the Heavenly emperor himself came, I'd still kill him "The Clown puffed out his chest.
The rabbit was waving its paw on his shoulder, assuming a ferocious attacking stance.
Yana seriously explained:
"That's not how it works. If a Deity was willing to pay a large sum of money to buy this person's life … would you consider it?"
The Clown stayed silent for a short moment.
He quickly put the machine gun away, helped Hyena Boss up from the ground, patted the dirt off his body and spoke warmly:
"I couldn't control my strength properly and scared you, I'm very sorry, right, how much are you worth?"
Hyena Boss' expression was ashen as he punched himself in the chest and coughed up some blood.
The blood drifted into the air and slowly manifested into a strange blood-colored mark.
"It's the Blood Lord, this Deity is quite the ferocious one" Yana commented.
"Did he come here himself? Or something else? "the Clown asked.
Yana understood and whispered: "He's in Purgatory, so he can only use blood magic to show himself and talk to us, he can't do anything to us"
"Does he have money?" the Clown asked.
A voice resounded from the air:
"Of course I have money, child"
The blood-colored mark turned into a blurry humanoid figure, looking down at them.
"Madam Torment, long time no see. Who would've thought you'd go to Evernight?" the bloody figure said.
"You want to stand up for this hyena?" Yana asked.
"That's right. He's one of my men. He captures slaves for me in the Evernight and does all sorts of dirty work. If he dies, I'll have no choice but to spend some time looking for new candidates from the wastelands. I hope you'll let him go for my sake" the bloody figure said.
"No problem. How much do you intend to pay?" Clown asked.
"Money? How much do you want? "asked the bloody figure.
"100 million Purgatory gold coins," Clown said with a smile.
"You must be joking" the bloody figure said.
"Haha, since you know Yana, 50 million Purgatory gold coins" the clown said.
" That Card and all the people involved aren't worth that much " the bloody figure replied.
"Name your price" the clown said.
The bloody figure looked at Yana and said: " Madam Torment, you know how much authority I have in Purgatory. I'll have to trouble you to explain it to this brat, lest he doesn't know his place "
Yana glanced at the clown and fell into thought.
The clown suddenly chuckled, walked back to the hyena boss, and took out a stack of Cards from his chest.
The first Card depicted various organs that had been cut up.
The second Card depicted a large swimming pool made of blood.
The third Card depicted countless souls, their hands and feet were shackled tightly, trapped in a world of nothingness.
The fourth Card depicted a large factory, where the dead people were constantly working without a single second of rest.
"You're truly disgusting. Speaking of which, have you really eaten people before?" the clown asked.
"Ah … yes" the hyena boss barely managed to answer.
The Clown clicked his tongue and continued reading.
Below all the Cards, there was a single unique Card.
There were three hyenas on the card.
Yana glanced at it briefly and spoke:
"This is the Servant Card, if you kill all the hyena professionists, the Servant Divinity on this Card will become your slave"
"What a great reward!" the clown happily said.
The bloody figure hurriedly spoke up: " Wait a minute! You can't take this Card, you have to return it to him, and we'll pretend that nothing happened today "
The clown froze, then shrugged: "Right now I'm the one with the hostage, do you understand? If you don't pay for your subordinate, he'll lose his life "
The bloody figure asked: " How about this, give me some face? "
"Money, or his life, your choice" the clown answered without changing his expression.
"Fine, fine, you money-grubbing bastard! At most 3000 Purgatory gold coins, not a single coin more! "the bloody figure angrily said.
The clown went silent briefly, then clapped his hands: "Deal, pay up"
"Give me your bank and account name" the bloody figure tried to suppress his anger.
"Hellfire Bank, Clown"
"I've paid you!"
The Clown looked at the void of space and saw a line of burning text floating there:
[You've received 3000 Purgatory Gold Coins from the Lord of Blood]
I got it!
The Clown chuckled, quickly walked up to the hyena boss and patted his shoulder:
"This is something that can be solved with money, let's not make it bloody. Look, your master paid 3000 Purgatory Gold Coins, tsk tsk"
"Can I leave now?" the hyena boss asked.
"Go ahead" the Clown waved his hand and said.
Boss Hyena breathed a sigh of relief and limped into the wilderness.
The Clown turned to the Lord of Blood: "Look, he's been released"
"It's been a long time since someone tried to extort money from me, how bold of you" the Lord of Blood spoke in a heavy tone.
The Clown was stunned for a moment, then suddenly recalled something and looked at the card in his hand.
The card depicting the three hyenas was still in his hand.
The hyena's servant card!
"Clown, return the card to him, I've already paid" the Lord of Blood hurriedly said.
No response came from the other side.
The Clown went silent for a few moments, then looked up apologetically:
"I'm sorry, 3000 Purgatory Gold Coins is far from enough to buy this card"
Without waiting for the other side to say anything else, his smile slowly disappeared as he coldly stared at the bloody figure and said:
"I won, so I got this card, but what if I lost"
"My servant is Yana."
"Let's be frank, you sent the hyenas to Dark Mist town, as long as they kill me, they can capture Yana and make her your slave, am I right?"
"I didn't know that Yana was in Dark Mist town" the bloody figure replied.
Yana cut in: "You're lying"
At some point, a book had appeared in her hand.
The Book of Lies.
The book was opened to reveal a line of text:
[Divinity: The Lord of Blood has completed a lie in front of you]
It's a lie!
In other words, this guy really did want me, so he sent the hyenas here to kill Liu Ping, then capture me back to Purgatory to become the Lord of Blood's slave!
It's all thanks to the Clown.
Everything had been made clear.
A faint blush appeared on Yana's beautiful face.
She was furious!
"Lord of Blood, I will remember what happened today" Yana said softly.
The blood-red figure was silent for a few breaths. Suddenly, he laughed and said, "Very well, Yana, I admit defeat today. But you are only a servant now. What can you do?"
"The one who needs to remember this lesson is you" the clown interjected.
He stared at the bloody figure and sighed. "Do you think you're the only bad guy in the world?"
"You'll pay the price too, brat!" The bloody figure said through gritted teeth.
Clown ignored him and turned to wave at Hyena Boss, who was walking away.
"Hey!"
Boss Hyena turned to look at him.
The Clown asked: "Do you still remember what I told you?"
"Which one?" Hyena asked, puzzled.
The Clown took a deep breath and loudly declared: "I was born different from the rest, I'm talented and outstanding, I can easily kill all of you"
Hyena Boss's expression changed.
The clown raised a revolving machine gun with one hand.
Streaks of ferocious fire gushed out.
Hyena Boss was sent flying in an instant. His body was like a heavy sandbag as he was hit by thousands of bullets in the air.
Bang!
A muffled sound of collision rang out.
This evil guy fell into the wasteland hundreds of meters away and didn't make any more movements.
The clown blew on the barrel of the gun and tossed it behind him. Then, he slowly raised his head and looked at the blood-red figure in the air.
"If you want me to kill someone, you need to pay three thousand gold coins."
He took out his bank card and glanced at it. "I'm sorry, so you've already paid the bill!!"
"Hahahahaha!"
The clown's maniacal laughter echoed through the wilderness.
