Chapter 118: You Must Pay This Money! (Fourth Update, Begging for Flowers)

And the spiritual power Li Xiao possessed was also a type of energy between heaven and earth,

and an even higher-grade energy at that!

Therefore,

this sword strike, with spiritual power attached,

could naturally slice through the elementalized Crocodile with ease!

Although the principle was simple,

for Crocodile, who knew nothing of spiritual power,

no amount of racking his brain would ever produce the answer!

And naturally, Li Xiao would not kindly explain it to him!

Crocodile pressed one hand against the wound on his chest,

his face Solemn as he asked Li Xiao:

"Who exactly are you?"

Facing Crocodile's question,

Li Xiao spread his hands,

and answered:

"I'm just an ordinary, unremarkable cultivation cultivator!"

A cultivation cultivator?

Crocodile searched his memory for a long while,

yet could not find any information related to this unfamiliar term.

After a moment,

Crocodile's expression flickered uncertainly as he continued to ask:

"What exactly is your purpose in coming here?"

Hearing this,

Li Xiao immediately looked at him with a gaze of tender loving care for the mentally disabled,

and retorted:

"Wasn't it your people who brought me here?"

"Originally, I was just passing through, came in to casually play a few hands, thinking I'd earn a little kitty-food money for the cat at home, that's all!"

"Who knew your casino had such a petty scale, couldn't even bear to part with a little kitty-food money, and instead tried to silence me by killing!"

Hearing Li Xiao's words,

Crocodile immediately turned to look at Mr. 5, who had lost an arm, off to the side,

and asked in a low voice:

"What's going on? He only won a few rounds and you people already made a move? Who gave the order?"

"If word gets out that you can't leave the Rain Banquet after winning such a small amount, who would dare come in the future!"

At this point,

Crocodile could not help but feel a bit angry!

On one hand, for such a small amount of Berries,

provoking such a fierce person,

was simply not worth it!

On the other hand,

the Rain Banquet was an important industry he had built,

the bulk of the Baroque Works Society's income came from it!

And once such behavior became frequent,

it would undoubtedly greatly affect the Rain Banquet's business!

Hearing this,

Mr. 5 used his one remaining hand to adjust his broken sunglasses,

and said slowly:

"He… won over four hundred million Berries…"

At these words,

Crocodile immediately fell silent!

He turned to look at Li Xiao,

and asked expressionlessly:

"Does the cat at your home eat gold?"

Li Xiao stroked his chin,

thought for a moment,

then nodded very seriously and said:

"Now that you mention it, that does seem about right!"

"I keep a little thief-cat, she not only eats gold, she eats anything valuable!"

"To be precise, she likes eating Berries!"

Hearing this,

Crocodile's face instantly darkened,

He suppressed his anger and said in a low voice:

"Are you mocking me?"

Li Xiao shook his head,

and said slowly:

"Every word I said is true, and those four hundred million Berries were won by my own skill!"

"What, are you going to renegade on your debt?"

Saying this,

Li Xiao raised his hand, ready to swing his sword!

Seeing this,

Crocodile cried out hastily:

"Wait! I'll give you the four hundred million Berries! But I have one condition!"

Li Xiao raised an eyebrow and said:

"Speak!"

"Join my organization!"
