2349 I Want All the Books!

Lin Yuan’s finger tapped continuously on the surface of the table while he spoke.

Every tap was like the ominous ringing of the bell of death to Eternal Source, Mist Source, and Vine Source. It was as though any word they uttered could set Lin Yuan off and result in their life coming to an end.

This feeling was uncomfortable for these seven upper echelon members, but there was nothing they could do about it because their lives were now firmly in Lin Yuan’s hands.

Given the circumstances, it seemed reasonable for Lin Yuan to say that he was their Master.Reêad latest novels at novelhall.com

But Lin Yuan was considerate of them and did not force them to address him as though they were his servants.

Anyone who spoke out in protest of him now would just be stupid. Stupid people never met good endings.

Vine Source said, “Master, I will do my best to do anything you say! If there’s anything you need, let me know anytime! As long as it’s something within my capabilities, I will perform my best! I will still try my best even if it’s outside of my capabilities!”

Hornless Dragon Source, Mountain Ridge Source, and the rest all turned to look at Vine Source when they heard what he said. The Vine Source that they knew was full of himself and refused to submit to even Eternal Source!

Yet, he was now putting on such a submissive attitude and was even willing to call Lin Yuan by ‘Master’! Wasn’t this bordering on pathetic?

The only one present who was unsurprised was Eternal Source.

For all these years, it seemed as though Vine Source had been butting heads with him. But the truth was that privately, Vine Source was even more submissive to him than Mountain Ridge Source and Carnage Source were.

Vine Source was the kind to be well aware of what he needed to do. This affected him in many ways.

Hence, Vine Source’s current display was not surprising in the slightest!

Now, Lin Yuan was sitting at the helm, on a seat even higher than Eternal Source had ever attained.

He could not easily control Vine Source’s life, but Lin Yuan could.

He had managed to attain Lin Yuan’s praise and establish a link to his betters.

Lin Yuan gave each of them 2,000 units of pure source-type power to show that he approved of their decisions.

Now that he had given them positive reinforcement, it was time to switch up his tactics to negative reinforcement.

This was the best opportunity to gather all seven of the marsh world’s treasures, and Lin Yuan could not let this chance slip by!

If any accidents cropped up in the future and one of them ended up losing their treasure, things would become much more difficult for Lin Yuan!

“Since you said that the books you possess represent your authority in the marsh world, you should give the books to me now that I own the yoke of power in the marsh world.”

Lin Yuan’s words immediately caused the atmosphere to tense up.

Even Eternal Source, who had been praised the most by Lin Yuan, and Vine Source, who had addressed Lin Yuan as ‘Master’, did not immediately respond.

After all, for the past thousands of years, all of them saw their books as the most important thing in their lives. None of them were willing to let go of their books without a fight. This was in spite of all of them knowing that there was no point in their feeling unwilling.

When they heard what Lin Yuan said, the most relaxed one was Evil Source because she had already handed her book over to him long ago.

Evil Source had been oppressed by the other six before Lin Yuan arrived. She was still harboring resentment over that.

Evil Source had obtained significant benefits ever since she joined Lin Yuan. She had not only managed to gain the upper hand against the six of them, but Lin Yuan even elevated her from her original ranking of 8th to 5th.

Eternal Source and Vine Source had all expressed their stances, and it was now Evil Source’s turn to do so.

Vine Source had called Lin Yuan’ Master’ even though he was stronger than her. Evil Source no longer felt unwilling to call Lin Yuan’ Master’.

“I agree with Master’s request. We are now all loyal to him and are his subordinates. It only makes sense that all the books go to him! I think anyone who doesn’t want to hand out his book is trying to plot something nefarious. Those who harbor nefarious thoughts must die!”

Evil Source shifted her gaze away from the six of them and knelt in front of Lin Yuan on one knee as she said, “Master, if any of them are unwilling to listen to your order, please boost me again and give me the chance to remove the traitor!”

Evil Source spoke loudly and sternly. She completely ignored the fact that she had just betrayed the integrity of the others.

How dare you make a stance on our behalf when you don’t even have your book? What do you mean those who refuse must be trying to plot something nefarious? What a pile of dog crap!
