His hand was shaking, and his heart drummed up in nervousness. Hemlin's mind was filled with the dragon earlier and did not realize the most important part. Where was Axel? That had not crossed his mind before, but now it caught up to him.

He tried to sense Axel's whereabouts, but it was futile. He could not find the God Rank's aura, meaning Axel was killed in his own domain. That was the conclusion he came up with since the two that got pulled into the domain were in front of him. novelbuddy(.)com

What did it imply? It implied he had no chance to win against these two. Axel in his domain was killed in just a few minutes. Hemlin was sure it was less than five minutes. A God Rank was killed in that time just showed how terrifying the dragon and its master were.

Hemlin let out a sigh and the thought of escaping was gone now. He could escape and go hide. Even the Seven Gods from The Temple were having a hard time finding him. They wanted to assassinate him and Forlan, but they got no result for years. He could hide but the price was The Adventurer Guild would be wiped out by The Tang Empire.

He would live, but he would live in guilt for the rest of his life. And he had a way to avoid it, accepting Tang Shaoyang's offer. He would be safe, and so would the Adventurer Guild. A lot went through in that short amount of time in his head. He decided to risk his life to stay and accept the offer.

Hemlin looked at his hands, trembling. He could not find it ironic. Sir Hemlin who was admired and respected by others was trembling in fear.

"Unfortunately, the deal is off if you are thinking of accepting my deal right now. You have seen my actual power. However, I am willing to give you a different offer," Tang Shaoyang could sense what Hemlin felt right now. Intimidated, fear, and nervous. Those feelings were plain to Tang Shaoyang.

Hemlin was furious upon hearing that because he felt like Tang Shaoyang was playing with him. He said that was it. Even if he was angry, there was nothing he could do about it. For someone his status, this was the first time he felt such helplessness ever since he reached The God Rank.

"Let me hear the new deal," He kept his composure.

"The Adventurer Guild joined the Tang Empire. I want you and your guild to become part of the Tang Empire. There's no need to worry because the Adventurer Guild will operate the same as usual. The difference was that The Tang Empire would oversee the Adventurer Guild's activity and all the adventurers couldn't refuse the draft call from The Tang Empire in case of emergency. We can discuss the terms in detail later."

Tang Shaoyang's plan was to fulfill his oath with Rumru and Lunea then he would return. That was it, the thought of acquiring the foreign force from Aqura never crossed his mind before until now. Realizing Aqura's God Ranks were quite weaker than he thought, he could not help but become greedy. The Adventurer Guild would be his force to fight the Divine Church and their alliance in twenty years.

Hemlin furrowed his brows as he did not like the new deal. He and Forlan might be a leading figure in the Adventurer Guild. However, the Adventurer Guild had no actual leader. There was no bond that tied the adventurers to the guild. They could not force the adventurers to join a force like this.

"What if I refuse the deal? Will you offer me a different deal? While I am part of the Adventurer Guild, I can't force the other adventurers to join the Tang Empire. It's not something for me to decide but for them. I would rather have a deal with me personally instead of with the guild." He tried to talk it out.

"If you refuse, then there's no deal. That's simple," Tang Shaoyang shrugged, "It's your choice. You can refuse the deal. You will die here with your pupil, and those adventurers who followed you might also die or they will become my slave too. Or you can persuade them. That's your decision, not me. I am here giving you an option."

Hemlin could not help but blame Rubia, Axel, and Seanic. If they did not come, he would not see this dragon. If he did not see this dragon, then he would accept the old deal. He just needed to lead this terrifying man and his dragon to them. Why did they have to come?

"You can have three minutes to decide," Tang Shaoyang glanced at Avyn, "He has better use than just killing him. Why don't you chase after the other God Rank? I am not really in the mood to hunt them. You can show off your power a little bit to Doombringer. Make him obedient a little bit, that will be good."

Avyn returned to her humanoid form, "Nah. I am too lazy to argue with that dog. If I stole his hunt, he would bark at me non-stop. Not worth my time."

"I am sorry, Hemlin. But you only have one minute to decide," Tang Shaoyang changed the time which stressed Hemlin more. It was not just about him, and even three minutes was not enough time for him to make such a big decision. Now the time was cut into one minute.

Hemlin felt like Tang Shaoyang was playing with him right now. That just made him not want to take the deal to annoy Tang Shaoyang. But then he saw a big shadow from Tang Shaoyang behind, coming from the sky. The big shadow landed behind Tang Shaoyang.

It was the monster who chased after Seanic. The monster returned with Seanic in its mouth, dead. That caused a jolt in his heart as his mind went blank. All the resentment for Tang Shaoyang disappeared in that instant. That monster was just a summon, and yet, it could kill a God Rank by itself. Not just a terrifying dragon, the monster was equally stronger if not stronger than the dragon.

Whoosh! 𝒇𝓻𝙚𝙚𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝒄𝒐𝒎

Before he could say anything, the shadow went past him. He recognized the two shadows, it was the bear warrior and the skeleton who chased after Rubia. They returned together, and the skeleton carried Rubia's body. He could not hear the breathing from the body.

Looking at Seanic's fate, Rubia must be dead as well. In such a short time, three God Ranks from the Temple were killed.

That was the reason Tang Shaoyang cut the time. He received the notification in his head, and he wanted to leave immediately after his spirit returned with the bodies. He did not mean to make fun of Hemlin.

"The time is up, Hemlin. Let me hear your decision,"
