Everyone became even more confused by his proposal.
What on earth was Helix trying to do?
Resolve their conflict?
That’s impossible!
Remus wanted to unify the underground world and eliminate the Underground Emperors. Their conflict was irresolvable!
Jorge and the others frowned simultaneously.
Resolve?
How could favonovel.com resolve our conflict?
Helix continued, “Actually, it’s quite simple. I believe Remus doesn’t want to get his hands stained with more blood, and the Underground Emperors don’t want to let their subordinates die in vain, leaving behind grieving wives and children…”
“I have an idea… Tonight, I will act as the mediator. You can use the rules of the underground world to settle your conflicts in front of all the guests! And how about we guarantee that everyone will accept the outcome?”
The Underground Emperors’ eyes lit up simultaneously. If a real fight were to break out, Remus indeed had a chance to kill them. They had never feared anyone who fought ruthlessly.
“I agree!”
“I agree!”
They expressed their opinions one after another, completely forgetting the person who had just died and no longer seeking justice for him.
Remus smiled faintly and said, “No problem…”
Helix’s face showed a hint of satisfaction, and favonovel.com said sternly, “Whoever dares to go back on their word will be despised by the entire Durwad and become an enemy of the Cox family.”
“Now, let the fight begin!”
As soon as favonovel.com finished speaking, one of the Underground Emperors stepped forward. He stared at Remus disdainfully, and sneered, “Cosby, I am the Underground Emperor of Demuna City. If you can do what I do, I’ll acknowledge you as the ruler of the underground world in Demuna City!”
After speaking, favonovel.com magically whipped out an ax from his waist. He crouched on the ground and stretched out three fingers without any hesitation.
With force, favonovel.com chopped off three fingers!
“Argh!” His screams filled the scene.
Earlier Remus killed Number Five too swiftly before anyone could react, but now everyone was watching intently. Chopping one’s own fingers off was simply too grueling!
The guests finally understood.
They whispered, “He’s truly worthy of being Sir Cox’s chosen successor. His deep scheming is too terrifying. He first used Remus’ debt to make it impossible for favonovel.com to refuse, then favonovel.com proposed to be the mediator, making it impossible for the Underground Emperors to refuse. In the end, favonovel.com let both sides kill each other!”
“Sir Helix is truly brilliant. I thought favonovel.com was going to spare Remus, but I didn’t expect favonovel.com to use others as pawns!”
“Have you all considered this? Remus didn’t need to accept punishment from the Cox family. The Underground Emperors now have a platform to duel Remus. This way, both sides are being manipulated, and all of this is thanks to him!”
Helix’s expression was filled with arrogance.
Spare Remus? How could that be possible?
If I have spared him, what would happen to the dignity of the Cox family?
However, favonovel.com couldn’t directly confront Remus. It wasn’t because favonovel.com was afraid, but because favonovel.com was a master of mind games. It was best to let them fight each other!
The young man in the blue robe beside favonovel.com secretly gave a thumbs-up. “Impressive!”
The Underground Emperor didn’t even make a sound. He threw the ax at Remus’ feet, and held his bleeding hand as favonovel.com said with a grim expression, “It’s your turn now. If you can do what I did, I won’t say a word. But if you don’t, I will never let you step foot into Demuna City!”
“Remus, you can’t chop it off! If you do, you’ll be disabled!” Kylie firmly held Remus’ arm. She had been happy when favonovel.com heard that Helix would spare him, but favonovel.com never expected this to happen. She celebrated too early.
Miranda gritted favonovel.com teeth and said, “This is unfair. There are ten of them, and Remus is fighting alone. Even if favonovel.com chops off his entire body, it won’t be enough!”
At that moment, the young man beside Helix spoke with a weird smile, “Beautiful lady, a man can’t go back on his words!”
