Chapter 2020: Plan Failed

"No need to talk. I never haggle over the price of things I like. As long as I like it, I will take it." Xueli smiled slightly, not falling for his act at all.

"So, you are determined to have this thing, right?" Degula stared at Xueli, trying his best to control his situation.

"Yes, I am determined to have this thing." Xueli smiled slightly: "Sorry, I really am snatching love away by force, but this is my right, isn't it?"

"It is your right, that's true." Degula's expression was somewhat gloomy: "But it will also bring you a lot of unnecessary trouble. Once you get involved in these troubles, I'm afraid it won't be so easy to get out unscathed."

"What a coincidence, we aren't people who fear trouble either." Chen Yu spoke up: "Friend, you're quite old, why are you still so impulsive when you speak?"

"Since we were able to come here to participate in the auction and dare to snatch things from your hands, that means we have a certain amount of confidence. Otherwise, we wouldn't be asking for trouble. Do you think threatening us is meaningful?"

"No one can disrupt the rules here, please rest assured, everyone." The host, Xiao Hei, spoke up. He smiled slightly, revealing a mouthful of stark white teeth: "This friend, auctions are fair and just things."

"If you can afford a higher price, this thing will definitely be given to you, but if you can no longer keep up with the price, then sorry, please go to the side and wait, okay?"

"I want to see the master of this place." Degula said with a sunken face.

"Sorry, our master will not appear easily unless you have something particularly important. But looking at you, it seems you want to haggle. If that is really the case, I advise you to give up that idea as soon as possible."

Xiao Hei smiled slightly, revealing his signature set of clean white teeth again: "Our master will not easily let others haggle, and you need to make one thing clear: this is an auction, okay?"

"Fine, fine..." Degula really had no other way. He said unwillingly: "Even if... I am a person from the Pope, that won't work either?"

"You are a person from the Pope? Oh, haha, truly sorry, I really didn't notice just now." Xiao Hei was slightly stunned as he looked at Degula.

Only then did he realize that Degula's expression seemed different; his face always carried a trace of arrogance, a feeling of being high above others.

Indeed, judging from this guy's arrogant expression, he should be a person from the Pope, but Xiao Hei did not buy into his act.

"People from the Pope have no special treatment here. You are the same as ordinary people. After all, this place of ours is a place abandoned by God, and your Lord has never favored us either, right?"

Xueli glanced at Degula; she felt a bit of pity for this guy.

He firmly believed in his own moral principles, while at the same time, he was convinced that the Pope he belonged to was a place not worth dedicating himself to.

But now that he encountered trouble outside, his first reaction was actually to use his status in the Pope to talk. Isn't he pitiful?

"Friend, if you can still follow up, then continue to follow. If you can't, then sorry, go out, turn right, and please do not delay our progress. We have already been delayed for a long time on this issue." Xiao Hei waved both hands, and people holding guns immediately surrounded them.

Several leaders of the Werewolf Clan revealed their clean white teeth. They were extremely angry now and almost transformed, but they were still stopped by Degula.

"Fine, then we shall meet again. Just don't regret it when the time comes." Degula's face fell long, he dropped a cold sentence, and then led the various leaders of the Werewolf Clan out.

"Roar..."

Just after arriving at a secluded place, one of the leaders could not hold back. He let out a roar and then transformed directly.

He roared: "Degula, why did you stop me just now? If you hadn't stopped me, I would have definitely torn them all to pieces alive."

"Do you really think you few can destroy this city?" Degula sneered: "This place is Boluo City, a place known as being forgotten even by God. The people inside are not as simple as you see on the surface."

"What is so not simple about them? In my view, they are all ordinary people. I can pinch them to death with one hand. Because of you, the Sacred Object, the Crystal Skull, has fallen into the hands of others. Degula, you must give us an explanation for this matter, otherwise..."

"Otherwise what?" Degula turned his head and stared coldly at that leader of the Werewolf Clan.

"You Werewolf Clan have stayed in the Beibian Xueyuan for too long; have even your brains been frozen by the snow?" Degula shouted: "I know that thing is extremely important to your race."

"And our goal for coming here this time is that thing. I won't give up easily either, but you going there to snatch it openly—is that feasible?"

"Why is it not feasible?" That leader was still throwing a tantrum. He felt that if it weren't for Degula's obstruction, he would have already taken the Crystal Skull back by now.

After all, that thing was the Sacred Object of their clan. Now that it was displayed right before his eyes, he had no way to get it. This sense of powerlessness made him feel very uncomfortable.

"In my perception, there are at least twenty experts of Level 3 or above guarding this place. Do you really think you few can beat these experts?" Degula said seriously.

"There are so many experts? Why... did I not sense them?" The leader of the Werewolf Clan was taken aback, and the volume of his voice involuntarily weakened.

He was violent, but he also had self-awareness.

He knew clearly what twenty experts of Level 3 or above meant. Let alone the few of them, even if they called a legion of their hundred-man units, they probably wouldn't gain any advantage.

"They all say you are stupid, that your intelligence has grown into your muscles. Today it seems that is truly not wrong at all." Degula became more angry as he spoke: "Impulsiveness is a Demon, don't you know that?"

Degula's lecture made these people silently shut their mouths; they dared not talk nonsense anymore.

After a long while, that leader of the Werewolf Clan stammered: "Sorry, Mr. Degula, we didn't mean to. I just saw our Sacred Object there being bought by someone else, and I felt unwilling."

"I understand your feelings." Degula paused, sighed, and said: "But impulsiveness is the cause of failure. If you cannot control your emotions, then you will never have a chance to turn things around. Take care of yourselves."

"Are you leaving?" Several leaders were shocked. After Degula came, he had devised strategies for them, allowing their strength to improve quite a bit.
