Chapter 221 State Your Choice!
Chapter 221 State Your Choice!
"Huff...huff..." Chen Yexi gasped for breath, large beads of sweat sliding down her cheeks from her forehead beneath her mask.
Ignoring the need to regain his composure, he turned around and stared intently at the King of Orphnoch before him, gritting his teeth as he said, "I have dealt with him as promised. Now it is your turn to fulfill your promise, King of Orphnoch!"
The King of Orphnoch threw his head back and let out a wild laugh, the sound of which echoed across the empty field and sounded particularly jarring.
After laughing, he narrowed his eyes slightly, looked Chen Yexi up and down, and said slowly, "Of course! I always keep my word, and will naturally keep my promise."
However, at this moment, he suddenly changed the subject, paused for a moment, then raised his head and gently raised his chin in the direction behind Chen Yexi.
Chen Yexi's heart tightened, and an ominous premonition welled up inside her.
He suppressed his unease and slowly turned around.
When he saw what was before him, his face turned deathly pale, and an uncontrollable rage rose from the depths of his heart.
In a clearing not far away, Xu Jie had transformed back into human form.
Her frail body collapsed helplessly, a streak of blood hanging from the corner of her mouth, while her slender neck was tightly gripped by the ferocious-looking goat Orphnoch.
At this moment, Xu Jie looked extremely weak, and could only gaze at Chen Yexi with her beautiful, sorrowful eyes.
"Ah! You despicable and shameless bastard! You actually went back on your word and broke your promise!"
Chen Yexi's eyes widened, she roared, and without hesitation, she rushed forward and swung her fist hard at the smug face of the King of Orphnoch.
"Bang!" The sound was deafening.
The King of Orphnoch easily caught Chen Yexi's fist, which was pounding with rage.
"Heh!" The King of Orphnoch wore a contemptuous and mocking smile as he coldly said, "The condition I mentioned earlier was that I would release the two Yu brothers if you could deal with the Cricket Native."
"But I never mentioned that I would let my cute and charming girlfriend go!"
Chen Yexi stared wide-eyed at the arrogant and domineering guy in front of her, panting heavily, her arm muscles tense, trying her best to break free from his restraints.
However, no matter how much he struggled, the arm that the King of Orphnoch held tightly remained motionless, as if clamped by iron pincers.
"You...you despicable and shameless bastard!" Chen Yexi roared through gritted teeth.
Then, like a deflated balloon, he gave up the struggle.
Faced with Chen Yexi's angry rebuke, the King of Orphnoch showed no anger whatsoever. Instead, he laughed even more arrogantly: "Haha! You are indeed a smart man. You can understand my intention so quickly."
As he spoke, he loosened his grip on Chen Yexi's fist slightly.
Taking advantage of the moment, Chen Yexi quickly withdrew her arm, took a few steps back, and stared warily at the King of Orphnoch, saying in a deep voice, "What exactly do you want?!"
Upon hearing this, the King of Orphnoch crossed his arms and replied leisurely, "It's very simple. You now have two paths to choose from."
"Firstly, you may choose one of the Yu brothers or your young girlfriend to take with you;"
"Secondly, you need to come here with the belts of Faiz, Delta, and Kaixa in exchange for their freedom."
"So, this multiple-choice question shouldn't be too difficult for you, right?"
"Make your choice quickly, or you won't have time once the Ming Dynasty's Special Investigation Bureau arrives!" the King of Orphnoch said coldly, his words carrying a hint of threat.
After saying that, he ignored Chen Yexi and moved to the side in a flash.
In the blink of an eye, the two Yu brothers and Xu Jie were placed together and lay quietly on the ground.
The King of Orphnoch stood beside them, arms crossed, staring expressionlessly at Chen Yexi, as if awaiting his final decision.
As time ticked by, the atmosphere at the scene grew increasingly tense and solemn.
Cold sweat poured down Chen Yexi's forehead as she struggled internally, desperately trying to come up with a solution.
Finally, as if he had made up his mind, he took a deep breath and slowly reached out to pull out the uniquely designed faiz phone from his waist.
With a soft electronic sound effect, Chen Yexi deactivated her transformation.
The silver armor that had covered his entire body gradually dissipated, revealing his slightly tired face and somewhat thin body.
Then, with heavy steps, he walked step by step toward the King of Orphnoch.

"Hmph! Do I have any other choice?" Chen Yexi glared angrily ahead, her tone filled with helplessness and resentment.
He bit his lip, slowly extended his right hand, and handed over the faiz belt.
However, the Orphnoch King standing opposite him showed no intention of accepting the belt.
He slightly raised his chin, glanced at the belt casually, a contemptuous smile appearing on his lips, and then replied with interest, "No rush, Faiz, you've used this belt so skillfully, you've certainly made the most of it."
“However, that alone is not enough. Once you bring Deita and Kaixa to me, we can discuss the rest.”
Hearing this, Chen Yexi's anger grew even stronger, but he knew that he was no match for the King of Orphnoch, so he could only suppress his rage.
He looked coldly at the arrogant King of Orphnoch before him and sneered, "Ha, you think you can make me submit like this? Let me tell you, absolutely not!"
Having said that, he withdrew his outstretched hand without hesitation, put the faiz belt into his suitcase, and then resolutely turned around and walked away into the distance.
The King of Orphnoch showed no anger at Chen Yexi's offensive behavior.
Instead, he remained standing quietly, his gaze fixed on Chen Yexi's receding figure, muttering to himself.
"The fate of Orphnoch has been sealed long ago; they have no choice but to return to my command."
"And I, as your only 'King'! Only I have the power to grant you eternal life!"
moment.
A siren sounded from not far away in the wasteland. The King of Orphnoch waved his hand and disappeared instantly. Orphnoch the Goat, along with the Yu brothers and Xu Jie, followed and left the place!
