Chapter 2524: Black, it's really black

Seeing Zhao Lao calm and composed, like nothing happened, the five heavenly officials all went numb.

He had previously thought that given Zhao Lao's nature, he would surely seize a few Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon ingredients by force, and when he got hungry, secretly give himself a little treat.

Originally, the five of them had already accepted this outcome; who let the other be higher rank and have bigger fists?

But who would have thought, this Zhao Lao could be this dark; damn, in the end he only brought out seven Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon ingredients.

More than half of the ingredients were seized by him?

So in the end, your treat is the big portion, and then you give the small portion to everyone?

Moreover, what about that Demon God ingredient?

One heavenly official simply couldn't hold back and spoke up.

"Zhao Lao, what about that Demon God ingredient?"

They haven't even tasted Demon God ingredients—who wouldn't want to try the flavor? Moreover, ingredients of this level are rare to begin with; who knows what dogshit luck they stepped on to run into this.

But who would have thought, facing this person's inquiry, Zhao Lao didn't even think, just responded with a suspicious look.

"Demon God ingredient? What Demon God ingredient? When I arrived, I didn't see any Demon God; there were only these seven ingredients."

Huh???

Seeing Zhao Lao say that so bluntly, the five heavenly officials fell silent; face, do you still want some face?

They let the other things slide, you can take the big share, but this Demon God ingredient—no one has tasted it, yet you want to monopolize it?

Anyway, the five heavenly officials are unwilling to let go of this Demon God ingredient no matter what.

Because they haven't tasted it, that's why they're curious and value it—can this thing even be compared to ordinary Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon ingredients?

Under such strong temptation, the five heavenly officials also hardened their hearts, gritted their teeth, stomped their feet, and said.

"Zhao Lao, you may have taken the other Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon ingredients, but this Demon God ingredient—no one has tasted its flavor; this time you want to monopolize it, which is a bit excessive, right?"

They were truly stubborn.

However, as heavenly officials, the Present Era's Strongest are certainly different from ordinary Heavenly Palace members; facing Zhao Lao, they also had a bit more confidence.

But regarding this, Zhao Lao still said the same thing: I didn't see anything.

He even furrowed his brows, looking like he was fuming with anger at being wronged.

"Are you framing me? Want to slander me?"

"I……………………………"

"Zhao Lao, you say, given the situation now, do we still need to slander you? Everyone's eyes are bright."

"You mean I monopolized those ingredients?"

"No, Zhao Lao, you just give up that Demon God ingredient; you can take the rest, we………………"

"Hmph, I'll say it one last time: I didn't see any Demon God ingredient; there were only these seven Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon ingredients."

Zhao Lao didn't give anyone a chance to speak further; after his words, he left directly again.

When he was alone, Zhao Lao grinned: This good stuff, can I still share it with you? I myself don't even have enough to eat.

Demon God ingredient—who knows what it tastes like; when I find a chance, I'll savor it properly with Ye Xiaozi.

Watching Zhao Lao leave again without any reason, the five heavenly officials were also dazed.

They exchanged a glance, and someone asked.

"What should we do now?"

"What else can we do? I thought Zhao Lao was ruthless, but I never imagined a person's heart could be this dark."

"Forget about that Demon God ingredient; given Zhao Lao's nature, once something goes into his pocket, it's impossible to take it out again."

"Alright, what's the use of talking about this now? Let's talk about us."

"Us?"

"Yeah, there are still seven Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon ingredients here; the rest were taken by Zhao Lao, so one each for us?"

Huh???

Zhao Lao took the big share and left; so next, according to seniority, does it turn to these five?

After all, besides Zhao Lao, these five are the highest status and strongest present.

But listening to the five's conversation, the surrounding others felt more and more off.

You damn lot aren't on our side, are you?

Just now, watching the five heavenly officials question Zhao Lao, they felt moved inside, thinking at last someone could speak up for them.

But now, hearing the five's conversation, everyone only felt it getting more and more off.

Zhao Lao took the big share, leaving only seven Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon ingredients for them; now you still want to take?

And one each—damn, in the end wouldn't only two be left? What's there to eat?

I had thought this person's heart was dark, but I never imagined it could be this dark.

You damn lot are all in the same boat, each darker than the last.

"Sir, these five Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon ingredients, are they…………………………"

The Immortal Ancestor realm powerhouse originally in charge of this immortal vessel, seeing the situation deteriorate, also had to steel himself and speak up.

You heavenly officials keep going back and forth; if you let them continue, there'll be no ingredients left—what will they eat then?

So I can only object; you guys restrain a bit, leave some broth for us.

But before that Immortal Venerable realm powerhouse could finish speaking, one heavenly official reacted fastest, raised a hand, and directly stored one Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon ingredient into his own Space Ring.

He then turned his head, giving an innocent reply.

"What no-head Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon ingredient? I don't understand what you're saying."

This sudden move left that Immortal Venerable realm powerhouse dumbfounded, standing there blankly, his whole body as if struck by lightning.

Damn, is there really someone who can do such a shameless thing?

Under everyone's eyes, in broad daylight, ah, you could do such a thing?

「No, sir, we've been watching that ingredient, you you you.......... 」

So shocked they couldn't utter a word, what thick skin it takes to do such a thing.

That Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon ingredient was, just a second ago, lying peacefully right in front of me.

You took it in front of all these people, and now you're asking me what I mean? Damn it.

And facing this Immortal Venerable realm expert, as well as the Human Race cultivators filling the deck, this Heavenly Official fully embodied what it means to feign ignorance.

Don't ask—if you ask, it's just: what Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon ingredient? Where was it just now? Isn't it just all these now?

I didn't take any ingredient, I don't know.

Speaking of which, it's basically a case with no evidence; as for searching the Space Ring.

You're joking, Zhao Lao isn't here, not speaking; these people present, who would dare to search the Space Ring of a Heavenly Official–level figure?

That's practically asking for death.

So, facing a shameless superior, you have no recourse; they just refuse to admit it—do you have any evidence?

Silence fell, and everyone on the deck fell silent for a moment.

And just under this strange atmosphere, the second Heavenly Official suddenly turned around, inwardly admiring; this move is awesome.

Meanwhile, his hand was just as quick, a faint light flashed from the Space Ring, and another Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon ingredient vanished without a trace.
