Chapter 1024 The Enemy Of My Enemy Is My Friend!

"Did you really think that a pitiful human being, that too a snot-nosed brat like you, who has lived for less than a century, could outwit me? Brat, I have been playing you right from the beginning!"

The draconian princess sneered and continued, "Let me make it more clear." She walked forward with a skip and a hop and circled around Liam. "What did you think happened back in that prison they built for me?"

Liam's face slightly changed, but he still did not comment anything.

"Ha Ha Ha Ha! Who do you think was tricking who?"

"You absorbed my wyverns because I allowed you to. You absorbed my precious draconian souls because I let you do so. You hand-delivered me all those tasty human souls and led the divine temple idiots right to my doorstep because I pushed you to do so!"

"You simply played your role in the drama that I staged to get my hands on those divine temple bastards. Do you understand now?"

"From the beginning, you were always in the palm of my hands."

Liam looked shocked, but then the next second, his expression changed into one of arrogance. "Bitch, do you think that I am an idiot to believe your words?" He snorted coldly.

"You can continue talking like this, but it's useless. Rather, I think this whole endeavor was useless. It's time I just simply end all three of you, then deal with some small insects and take some much-deserved break." He even let out a yawn.

Immediately, the Oracle and the Monk shivered, with the monk trying to signal really hard with his eyes and face to the Oracle, asking him what the hell was happening here.

However, the main party still remained unfazed.

"He He He. Good. Good. I am glad you did not fall for that. If you did, then you wouldn't be any fun now, would you?" She jutted her voluptuous chest forward and rubbed her two mounds together in a sensual manner.

Her eyes still showed a hint of gold, and a long-forked tongue slipped out of her mouth and licked her ruby-red lips. "Fine." She said, "I admit that you caught me by surprise."

"I did not expect a random target who my pet chose to be proficient in the soul arts. You threw me completely off my original plan and forced me to make a new one." 

"Thanks to you, I had to possess a little kid to get out of there, you know? Anyways, that's enough about the past. Let's talk about the present."

"I am still telling the truth about the second part. I am here right now, only for you. I could have gone to any of the worlds, but I am here because of you."

"Hmmm?" Liam narrowed his eyes and studied the woman.

"You want me to lay it out for you? I am here to help you, sorry, help each other get back at those divine temple whores." The draconian princess smirked.

"The enemy of my enemy is my friend!"

She stared at Liam, finally hoping to see some reaction on his face, but unfortunately for her, the man only continued to look indifferent.

"You still don't trust me?"

Liam chuckled sarcastically. "Sure, I do. You came here to find me, and you want to help me in getting revenge against the divine temple. Everything makes sense."

And just as the draconian princess looked relaxed, he then added, "Is that why you were waiting until my little problem with the isons was completely dealt with?"

The woman froze for a second. She then clicked her tongue and sighed in exasperation. "Tch. You are too mean. Treating a woman like this. Tch. Tch."

Liam's face twisted seeing the cute pout on the 'who knew how many centuries old' draconian princess's face. "Cut the shit." He blankly said.

"Bastard! Escaping from that world was not easy, you know, I need some time to recuperate. I did intend to meet you soon enough, well, if you survive the isons, that is."

Liam immediately gave an 'I knew it' look.

"Come on. You can't expect me to do all the heavy lifting here. I first wanted to check if you were really worthy of my help or not."

"You made your choice." Liam shrugged. 

Though he still was not 100% sure, right now, he was at least somewhat convinced that the woman in front of him was heavily weakened or injured in some manner.

Otherwise, she wouldn't be begging him like this. But that did not mean that everything she said was true. Out of the three in front of him, two were snakes, and the last one also very well might be.

He would only be a fool to trust either of them.

In fact, he never planned to trust any of them. Rather his issue was what was the best way to deal with them.

As if she could read his thoughts, immediately, the draconian princess huffed in anger. "You still don't trust me, do you? Are you silently plotting to kill all three of us here?" She pursed her lips.

Hearing her, the other two as well started panicking.

"Mr. Liam!" The Oracle gasped.

"Good sir, maybe I should take my leave." The monk started sweating profusely and began to take a step back.

However, before he could do anything, a golden cage trapped him. "Shut the fuck up and stay there." The Oracle was delirious.

"Mr. Liam, you have to trust me. The prediction I drew for you is one hundred percent true! I already told you that I am willing to sign the slave contract. Please spare me."

The draconian princess heard this and clicked her tongue again. 

"Oh? So that's how you located me? Not bad. You got yourself one of these bastards. They are cunning, but they are very useful. Having him as a slave will only help you."

Liam remained unmoved at her words.

The woman sighed and added, "In that case, how about we sign a contract too?"
