Chapter 841: Chapter 839: Ignition (13) Chapter 841: Chapter 839: Ignition (13) Indeed, he did not disappoint!
Pretending to hesitate under threat, and when the other party thought they had the situation under control, he suddenly turned 180 degrees and threw back a taunting remark.
The Clown’s mad, death-defying antics were enjoyed thoroughly by Fu Qian from the corner.
Clearly, Demigod Aike might know intimidation, but he clearly didn’t understand madmen.
Fu Qian believed that, at this moment, the Clown must be over the moon.
For someone who sought thrills like this terrorist, facing down a Demigod outsider’s grandiose words would undoubtedly be the peak of excitement.
“Do you think I’m trying to scare you?”
In comparison, Aike was obviously not as amused.
Upon realizing the Clown’s intent, his expression turned several times uglier, his tone almost grinding his teeth.
“No, no… you still don’t get it… you’re far worse than the person we’re looking for!”
The Clown’s voice carried a tinge of pity.
“If the danger is fake, then so is the fun. I never doubted your methods and determination, otherwise, how could it feel so blissful…”
Despite his words, he burst into loud laughter again.
Bastard…
Faced with such a stubborn madman, it looked as though Aike would love to smack him dead.
However, the very decisive figure ultimately did not strike.
“Thank you for the hospitality.”
While Fu Qian was deep in thought, the Clown seemed somewhat bored and picked up the glass of blood.
The next moment, without even removing his mask, he awkwardly pressed apart the mouth of the mask with his other hand and poured the cup clean.
“Madam, if there’s nothing else, I need to bid you farewell.”
After gently setting down the empty cup, he stared at Aike’s face.
“I want to leave before this place becomes utterly boring, to slow down the loss of joy.”
…
Is this guy really leaving?
Aike’s eyes narrowed, instinctively glancing at Stoss.
“There’s no need to rush.”
The next moment, Old Master Stoss, who had been drinking by himself, finally turned his head, removed his hood, and looked at the Clown.
“There’s still a lot of interesting stuff to do.”
With that statement, his eyes flashed a bright light, as if golden flames were burning in them.
At the same time, the Clown, who was making eye contact with him, uttered an unintelligible sound from his throat.
Ha…
The Clown, barely maintaining his balance by holding the table, still shuddered spasmodically.
Fu Qian clearly saw golden flames flickering in the eye holes of his mask, similar to those in Stoss’s eyes.
Old Master Stoss had obviously used some special technique on him.
And owing to the colossal disparity in ranking, he had absolutely no power to resist.
“This is the Fire of Madness fueled by willpower, I trust you’re not disappointed?”
At this point, the unusual light in Stoss’s eyes receded, and he looked at the Clown unemotionally.
“Enjoy it here for a while more; there’s still time.”
“Heh… heh… okay.”
His whole body sprawled on the table, the Clown seemed to be in a daze, but he still responded to Stoss’s words.
“Thank you… for the hospitality…”
“Indeed, it’s always more interesting with some fire…”
…
“Xiumeng was right, they are essentially a bunch of lunatics at heart, no matter how they appear on the surface.”
The Clown’s reaction made even Stoss pause for a moment, and he said to Aike beside him.
However, Aike made no comment on the assessment.
“It seems he too is searching for the fire…”
Looking at Stoss, Aike’s expression was eerie.
“Just like that Andiel…”
Hmm…
Aike prompted a reminder, and Stoss suddenly realized what she meant, lowering his head to look at the marks on his body.
“So is it really that guy who sent him? Or was he disturbed because of this?”
“I don’t know, although this maniac did interact with that Andiel, I seriously doubt anyone can command him.”
Aike shook his head.
“As for the matter of the fire, let’s wait until Xiumeng arrives to talk about it.”
During the conversation, she subconsciously glanced at Fu Qian again.
…
So, is this the Clown’s payback to me?
Fu Qian blatantly ignored Aike’s scrutiny, sizing up the convulsing Clown.
Because I guided him to such amusement, did he offhandedly mention the question I had previously asked, to help probe for some information?
Even though this fellow is insanely erratic, Fu Qian believed he quite understood his intention.
Not bad, there’s at least a bit of courtesy.
Just as how I honestly used the Clown to scout before, Fu Qian didn’t think he owed anything in this regard.
I helped the Clown find amusement, and he reciprocated.
That’s reasonable.
The Clown clearly thought so too.
Different things hold different values to different people.
As for the Xiumeng Aike mentioned, could it be the Divine Envoy from the carriage?
So, for some reason, he went off to another place?
And on one hand Aike and the other are waiting for me, and on the other hand, they are also waiting for Xiumeng and the others?
This fact made one curious, was it to settle the inside-carriage Logan?
Frankly speaking, Fu Qian didn’t think it was very likely.
Having just killed someone, then to leave a patient alone somewhere, in any case, it wasn’t a good idea.
Or was it for subterfuge?
Being so close to the scene of the crime, if the carriage hadn’t moved as “tediously” as the Clown mentioned, it might have aroused suspicion?
That could be possible.
While Fu Qian was pondering the reasons, the bar door was once again opened.
An exceptionally burly figure appeared there.
…
He’s quite timely.
Fu Qian recognized at a glance the visitor who was previously marked by him, Demigod Brother.
His appearance and attire had not changed, and the next moment, he respectfully pushed open the door, allowing another figure behind him to enter.
Pale-faced, with lifeless eyes, it was none other than the Second Divine Envoy, Aike’s referred Xiumeng, who had previously made a move on him in the carriage.
Almost immediately upon entering, amidst the clamor, he visibly frowned.
In the dark, the bar was crowded with people, but under Demigod Brother’s lead, he quickly made it to the spot where Aike and the other were seated.
The place wasn’t very spacious, and after Xiumeng sat down opposite the Clown, the overbearingly tall stature of Demigod Brother commanded, he simply stood by his side like a bodyguard.
A Demigod bodyguard, it had to be said that his prestige was off the charts.
“Is Logan outside?”
Stoss immediately inquired.
“Don’t worry, he’s safe.”
Xiumeng obviously knew what he was concerned about and directly addressed it.
“What about your findings?”
“The main character didn’t show up, but we found someone suspicious.”
Aike gently shook her head, gesturing at the Clown.
“He was in close contact with that guy before, and now he turned up here, it feels a bit too coincidental.”
“Besides… he seems to be seeking the Fire.”
“It is very coincidental.”
Xiumeng narrowed his eyes, closely examining the Clown while seriously listening to Aike, then after a moment, he nodded.
“But are you really sure the main character didn’t show up?”
