Ling Tian put on a serious face. He really wanted Isaac.
"Well, then, if I join the Golden Dragon, what do I get?"
"Whatever you want. State your worth. You will also receive the full facilities and support of the Golden Dragon."
Isaac smirked. "Then, I want the Golden Dragon."
A frown appeared on Ling Tian's forehead. He didn't understand what Isaac meant. "What? Sorry, I don't understand what you mean."
"What I want is clear. I want your guild. I want the position of leader."
"WHAT-!?"
Instantly, the veins bulged out on his forehead. What Isaac said sounded like an insult to his ears. He had never been treated like this before, even before he became the strongest Guild Master in China.
"Mister Isaac, I have made a good offer to you." Ling Tian's voice was low, but there was anger in his tone. "If you don't like it, you can refuse. I may look friendly, but that doesn't mean I won't do something to you."
The hunters who were resting and undergoing treatment started sweating. They felt the air suddenly become hot.
Isaac glanced at Lian Tian who was clenching his hands tightly.
'Why is there always a human who wants to make me kill them?'
He took a deep breath.
If Isaac wasn't currently in enemy territory, he would definitely have killed the man.
He held out a hand.
"Shake my hand."
"Huh?" Ling Tian didn't understand what Isaac meant. "Don't play with me."
"I'll tell you the reason why I declined your offer."
Ling Tian narrowed his eyes. Now he wondered about Isaac's strange behaviour. He didn't understand what the man wanted. Then, the idea of teaching Isaac a lesson flashed in his mind.
He shook Isaac's hand.
"Keeut—"
'ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ No(v) e lBin ᴏɴʟʏ.',
Instantly, his bones screamed in pain. His hand squeezed with great force. Even the gauntlet protecting his hand was crushed.
"Keuggh—"
"If you don't want to embarrass yourself, you better not scream."
Isaac strengthened his squeeze. Ling Tian wanted to scream as cold sweat started to trickle on his face. The other members watched the two of them look astonished. They didn't realize that the two men were fighting.
"Le… let go…"
"You did not offer me to join your guild; you tried to buy me. You think I'll be happy? Having a high position definitely makes you feel above all else. You see other people as someone lower than you. Be thankful that we are currently in the dungeon."
After that, Isaac let go of the handshake. Ling Tian quickly pulled his arm. His face was pale.
Then, Isaac waved his hand and called out to Aditya who was treating the hunter.
"Adit, come here. I need your help."
"Yes, instructor. Wait a moment."
Not long after, Aditya came. Isaac told him to treat Ling Tian's hand while the man only grimaced because of the pain in his hand.
When Aditya checked Lian Tian's hand, he was completely shocked.
"Wow, the tarantula caused this? This is really bad. I'll treat your wound immediately."
Adit quickly cast a healing spell on Ling Tian's arm while Isaac just smiled at him.
Ling Tian had a bitter look on his face. He looked at Isaac warily. Even though there were only a few hunters who managed to compete with his strength, nothing had ever made him injured like this.
From then on, he saw Isaac as a monster.

In a dark and damp room, there were rows of water tubes filled with human bodies. A giant pipe stuck to the top of the ceiling. An electric sound echoed along with a strange reverberation.
In that dark room, there was a black hair woman with blood-red eyes. On her back was a pair of black wings.
She seemed busy with the beaker arranged on the table.
'',
"Lady Xenovia."
A fat man appeared behind the woman. His face was full of wrinkles and his nose was flat. At first glance, his face looked like a pig.
The woman called Lady Xenovia turned to the man. Her expression was truly displeased. The pig-faced man immediately lowered his head in fright.
"How many times have I told you, Piggy? Don't ever bother me if there's something unimportant."
"No, Lady. This is an important matter."
Xenovia got busy again on her beaker. She distilled a strange red liquid in her hand.
"There are 100 humans who broke through to the 1st Floor. They are currently heading for the teleportation gate on the 2nd Floor," said the Pig.
"You stupid! Every day, there are humans who enter my dungeon. Why do I have a stupid Dungeon Manager like you?"
Piggy lowered his head even more. He bit his lower lip.
"But, Lady, they don't seem like random people. If you look at them, their level and class is the same as the human group currently in 2nd Floor."
Hearing that, Lady Xenovia stopped her activities. One of her eyebrows was raised, then she looked at Piggy with a smirk on her face.
"You mean another A-class human?"
"Yes…. one person. The rest are class B and C."
Xenovia laughed loudly.
"Today I was very lucky. It looks like I'll be distilling 3000 humans. They will make suitable materials for my homunculus army."
Piggy grinned when he heard his master sound happy.
"Send Aman and Lawrence, order them to drive the humans to the 3rd Floor."
Piggy opened his eyes wide. "Yes, My lady."
Not long after, Piggy quickly left to do his job. Meanwhile, Xenovia was back busy on her experimental table, along with hundreds of homunculus sleeping in the tube.
*Author's Note*
First of all I would like to thank the readers! (^_^) Especially to those of you who support me through positive comments and buying privileged chapters. Recently, I just found out that my novel was hit by piracy (ToT). I don't know if I should be happy or sad to hear the news. But I'm sure there are still good-hearted readers who want to read through legal sites.
That's all I want to say. And have a nice day!
