2299 An Exchange of Blows May Lead to Friendship!

Evil Source never dreamed that such a day would befall her. She had never been so humiliated ever since she obtained the Green Field Secret Treasure. Geett the latest novels at novelhall.com

If she had not come, she would not have had to suffer through all of this.

She had come because she had heard the report from Pregnant Poison.

Evil Source dared not harbor any hate for Lin Yuan.

The culture of the marsh world was always one where the strong devoured the weak, and the weak could not utter a single complaint.

Evil Source’s hatred was directed at Pregnant Poison. Not only had Pregnant Poison caused her to be humiliated and lose her treasure in the process, but she had even had the audacity to go running to Lin Yuan.

Evil Source did not have to think far to determine Pregnant Poison’s goal.

Evil Source had been confident that Lin Yuan would see her. Otherwise, he would have taken Mite Thread’s source totem with him when he left.

Evil Source forcefully suppressed her emotions as she was afraid that when she was led into the main hall and laid her eyes on Pregnant Poison, she would not be able to hold herself back from killing Pregnant Poison. If she attacked while in Lin Yuan’s presence, it would be seen as an insult to him.

Furthermore, Evil Source did not know whether Lin Yuan was going to accept Pregnant Poison. If he did take her in and she attacked her, she would be at odds with him.

She had even handed over the treasure that represented her status. There was no need to offend Lin Yuan over anything else.

But as willing as she was to take the humble stance, Evil Source hoped that Lin Yuan would not push it. Otherwise, she would find some way to retaliate and make his life miserable even if she did not clash with him directly.

Evil Source’s heart was heavy as she took the few short steps.

She was famed for acting however she pleased and could not remember the last time that she considered the feelings of another!

Soon after entering the main hall, Evil Source spotted Pregnant Poison kneeling on the ground.

Evil Source’s words were only partially true.

Firstly, there was no way she was going to say no to the big and small source fruits.

She wanted to stay by Lin Yuan’s side so that the other six figures would not target her in a bid to curry favor with Lin Yuan in order to obtain the big and small source fruits.

Both of these were Evil Source’s goals.

But besides that, Evil Source did genuinely want to stay by Lin Yuan’s side.

Even if the other six decided to work with Lin Yuan, it would only be for the sake of profits. They would turn against him when he cut into their profits. In fact, being more familiar with each other, they might even team up to eliminate the wildcard that was Lin Yuan!

But Evil Source did not believe this was the case.

She always subscribed to the belief that in this world, only the capable were able to occupy positions of power.

Rather than sharing resources with the other six of them to form a bottleneck, it would be better if she struck out on her own.

Evil Source had always wanted to be the one to distinguish herself. But now, she had failed.

Evil Source would rather team up with Lin Yuan rather than Eternal Source, who was the water to her fire.

Regardless of whether Lin Yuan was willing to take her in today, the animosity between them would still decrease significantly.

When Lin Yuan saw the serious expression on Evil Source’s face, he realized that despite appearing to be off her rocker, Evil Source actually possessed an exceedingly calm heart.

This person would not make a good friend or foe. If they became friends, a person like this would not hesitate to betray him when substantial profits were offered. But as enemies, she would not be too prideful to tunnel underground to hide. Either way, a person like this did not fit with Lin Yuan’s goal of being in the marsh world.

Thus, Lin Yuan gently rapped the table with his finger and said, “You can’t stay by someone’s side just by talking. You have to show that you’re sincere. Give me all the faith power from the Dictators and Apostles who are loyal to you, and I’ll give you the chance to join the alliance. I will let the others know that you are a member of the alliance. But whether or not you’ll be able to stay by my side depends on how you act from now on.”

While he spoke, Lin Yuan did not break his gaze with Evil Source. He could see hesitation and rumination in her eyes.

He could be certain that she was not the kind to disregard her subordinates’ lives. This was evident from her attitude toward Mite Thread and Pregnant Poison.
