Emperor's Reckoning

Chapter 213 - Skill Or Shameless?

Back to the present, both of them entered the lake with a huge splash. The water though not as deep as it was before managed to hold their fall toward the lakebed.

As the bubbles of oxygen fluttered away to the surface, the two of them managed to get a clear view of each other. Lyon smirked at the man who had already lost two limbs but already stopped his bleeding.

The man had no choice but to seal up some of his meridians, else he would lose consciousness due to blood loss. Though his jaw was dislocated by that one exchange, he used his left hand to put it back together with a resounding crack.

"You are bold to have such shallow cultivation but dare to interfere with me!" said the man.

Lyon furrowed his eyebrows (What the hell is he saying? Doesn't he know we are currently underwater?) He only saw his lips muttering something as bubbles came out of it.

"Now die you insolent fool!"

(Seriously, what the fuck are you saying?! We are underwater you crippled old man!) thought Lyon before he swam upward to catch some air.

The man gritted his teeth. Never had he came across someone this insolent, not to mention his cultivation level was like heaven and earth compared to his. He quickly swam upward before he shouted, "You piece of trash how dare you- huh?!"

A woman that couldn't be any more familiar to him was watching him from above. She had recovered her breath and killing intent exuded from her eyes. "Looks like the gods favor me, instead of you."

Only then did he realize how great of a danger he was in. Undine's specialty was water, and he fell right into her nest. "F-Felicia, how about you let me off the hook this time, I promise I will not hunt you or your family again, I would even persuade the boss to drop the matter regarding your husband."

She furrowed her eyebrows as if she was thinking about his proposal. He could indeed drop the matter, her only child could live freely out of their looming grasp.

Unbeknownst to her, the man reached out something from his chest behind his clothing. Since his spatial ring was blasted away along with his arm, he must use his emergency returning jade stone he hid.

"N-Now, think about it, the peaceful moment you will have with your child."

His flowery words and the tempting offer managed to grab a hold of her interest. She was always running away, hiding from their looming presence. But if she could wash the fear that was holding in her mind, would she dare to take the offer?

"Can you really do that?" Felicia's tone changed as she was tempted.

"Yes of course! Boss would listen to his right-hand man."

Suddenly, the man's eyes opened wide as his pupils shrunken. (It's gone?! Where is it?!) thought the man as he kept searching. He was sure that he hid the item on his chest, he never took it off even when he took a shower.

"Ohya, what do I have here?"

His eyes turned to the source of the voice before he gritted his teeth and furrowing his eyebrows. "You!"

Lyon held the item the man seek the most with a tip of his finger. Playing a balancing game with the jade stone. "I wonder, if I crush this stone, I will go straight to your base?"

"Brat! Stop playing and give it to me!" shouted the crippled old man.

"Fat chance, idiot," smirked Lyon before he shouted, "Oh beautiful big sister that is floating in the air, would you listen to this young man you thought was your husband?"

"Hahahaha!" the laughter of the true dragon suddenly heard.

It was apparent that his grandfather was watching the whole show from the sidelines. Though the enemy was way stronger, Grandpa Long had confidence that his grandson would somehow gain an advantage. (Hehe, look at you, stealing things like a master, I guess your body remembered how 'she' taught you the ultimate art of thievery).

"Jeez, why would he call mother big sister, what does that make me then?" fidgeted Elize. Somehow her heart calmed after he arrived at the scene. It was like a trumpet of melody, covering her frail heart from incoming fears.

Felicia glanced down at the young man who was calling her. She furrowed her eyebrows as she thought (Of course I would mistake you from my husband, you are wearing his clothing). She faintly had an idea who was giving it to him, but the matter could be discussed later. There was a more pressing matter right now.

"What is it?"

"Don't listen to his flowery words nor his offer, even I can do that without batting an eye, besides, look at what I stole from that crippled old man,"

Felicia furrowed her eyebrows (A returning jade stone?!). She immediately glared at the man who was offering her peace of mind. "So all that offer was for stalling huh?"

"N-no Felicia listen, I would use that to return to the base and talk to the boss about the offer so that I could abolish his order of hunting you sooner, don't believe this thief!" said the crippled man before he glared at the young brat who almost ruined his chance.

Grandpa Long could feel Elize's heart getting worried about her mother. She knew her mother would definitely think it was true.

The true dragon smiled and showing his wide clean set of teeth, "Don't worry, stealing is not his only forte."

"Oh, beautiful big sister, who would you rather believe, the crippled old man or this charismatic young man who resembled your husband? The man who just a minute ago wanted to end your life, or the young man who resembled your husband, who saved yours?" smirked Lyon.

Felicia had her mouth twitched wildly. This young man was beyond shameless. She knew he emphasized the term of resembling her husband to gain her trust.

"Alright, alright I get it!" shouted Felicia before the water on the lake surging toward the crippled man.

"Felicia! You will regret this!" said the crippled man before he glanced at the young man who was causing his demise.

"Shut up crippled old man, not even my fart would remember you."

*puke

The crippled old man couldn't help but puked out blood after he heard Lyon's insult. To think that he still could damage him verbally before his death.. Thus his last chance to scream before departing came to naught.
