"Hehehe~! You just saved yourself from a good spanking, beauty!"
Under the shocked expressions of a full crowd of bodyguards, Lu'er, and a few other maids around Madam Yan Meng, Eric voiced those words.
The temperature immediately started falling by quite a few degrees, and he suddenly felt like he was about to turn into an ice sculpture.
It was clear that Madam Yan Meng wasn't holding back in the least with her murderous aura the moment that she witnessed Eric's words and behavior.
All the guards and maids around here immediately stopped whatever stupid thoughts they were thinking until that moment, and completely focused on what came next.
Normally Madam Yang Meng wouldn't take such an 'insult' to her clean figure, and she would kill the guy in front of her, and they were looking forward to that.
"Everyone spread around and check the perimeter, don't come close until a second order!"
Unfortunately, they all had to be disappointed this time, as Lu'er came forward for her lady, and immediately ordered all of them to leave the place.
Each and every one of them was disappointed at the fact that they weren't going to see Eric's fate, yet none of them dared or had any thought of not obeying.
Once they were far enough, Madam Yan Meng could finally look with colder eyes towards Eric, as she said in what was clearly an unhappy and enraged tone,
"What do you think you are doing!? Are you tired of living!?"
"Heheheh~! Come on beautiful, that threat doesn't stand, don't you think!? After all, killing me is the same as killing yourself, and you certainly love yourself enough to not let that happen.
Not to mention that we shared a bed for so many hours just a few days ago, I am sure that you have yet to forget about me, and my performance in bed.
You must wish of having me pin you down on the ground, let alone kill me!"
"Hmph~! Overconfident, stupid, and too brazen! Do you truly think that I don't dare to kill you?"
"Yes, yes I do! After all, if you would want me dead, we wouldn't be talking here like this. Is it not!?"
Madam Yan Meng was a bit dissatisfied with the fact that this brat was so confident that she wouldn't kill him but more than that she didn't like that he was right.
Forgetting about her own life, there was the Blood Rose that needed to be fed daily by his blood essence, and even more so there was also the issue with the Blood Rose's evolution.
Eric was just too valuable for her to think of killing, so she had no other choice but to accept her momentary defeat, as she decided to change the topic,
"If you understand all this, and you know the value you hold to me, then how the hell do you dare make a bet that might take your life, you pr*ick?"
"Oho~! Don't tell me that you have fallen for me, Madam! Please refrain yourself, I am your doctor, gardener, and nothing else.
What we did that night was purely professional, and necessary."
"Youuu…"
Madam Yan Meng had a terrible dark and ugly expression on her face while she heard Eric's words because they seemed to have come out of her mind and mouth.
It was her who should be deciding that their relationship was purely physical and necessary for her recovery, and nothing else.
Yet, it was Eric who had taken the initiative and advantage of her. The displeased and dissatisfied feeling in her heart grew exponentially as a crazy idea was born in her mind.
She wanted to make Eric fall for herself and then slap the same words back into his face. As she thought up to there, she couldn't help but have a charming devilish smile on her face.
Revenge would certainly be extremely sweet!
"Earth to Madam Yan Meng, are you here Madam!?"
While Madam Yan Meng was lost in her dreams and illusions of the future, Eric was waving his hand in front of her, and making sure she was awake.
Those words managed to wake her up, but at the same time it reminded her of the reason why they were there, as she said,
"I am here, stop behaving like a kid!
Now tell me, why the hell did you accept such a terrifying condition against every fighter in the Arena? Do you think that they will let you go now!?"
"Were they going to let me go previously!? We both know and understand how that place is operated. Furthermore, it was too late, as I had been targeted already.
I don't want to die, and even less do I want to lower my head, myself, and my creed in order to please an oily bastard who can't even see his own di*ck."
Certainly, Eric had no idea of the guy behind these situations and happening, but he knew one thing, he would soon be able to meet him and personally send his soul to heaven.
Madam Yan Meng was looking at him with a weird and complicated expression on her face, as this was the first time that she heard him talk like that with confidence, and for such an issue.
Truth to be told, she couldn't help but find this look of his quite handsome and dashing. If they weren't in an abandoned warehouse, with nothing inside, she would have already jumped over him.
"That seems quite charming, dashing, and cool but how the fu*ck do you suppose to make that happen!?
You are just a 1st Realm evolver, and even your strength and power seemed to fall below average. Do you think that you can hold your fort against a few Realm 2 evolvers?
You are just looking for death!"
"Hehehehe~! You don't have to worry Madam, I will make sure to win those challenges, and not only that but also win the competition.
From the start, everything belonged to me!"
"Hmph~! Everyone knows how to talk back, but you have to wake up to the reality! The chances of you winning tomorrow with your current strength are almost Zero.
Still, since you have my, and my Blood Rose's lives in your hands, I have no other choice but to help you grow stronger!"
"You mean!?"
"I mean nothing, here take this!"
With that said, Madam Yan Meng immediately took out a small golden pill from her pocket and extended it toward Eric.
"Are you trying to propose to me!? Sorry, I still stand strong to my beliefs, there can't be anything between us!"
"You…"
Madam Yan Meng felt like she wanted to let the pill fall on the ground and then step on it, right in front of Eric, teaching him a valuable lesson, but unfortunately, she couldn't.
She could only try her best to control herself and her emotions, as she extended her hand further ahead, and said,
"Don't worry, I would never propose to an overconfident brute!
This pill is known as the breakthrough pill, as long as you are under Realm 6, then this pill will help you break through at least one full Realm, despite your current standing!
This will give you a bit of hope of surviving the next day!"
"Hmmm~! Sounds really good, a great treasure indeed! So what's the catch!?"
"Catch!? What catch!?"
"Come on beautiful, we both know and understand that there is no free lunch in this world. This is not as easy as giving me a pill, so what do you want!?"
"Heheheh~! At least you aren't that stupid!
Well, it's true I am giving you that miraculous pill, and help. And just like you say it's not for free!
During the Final I want you to kill all the other Masters, leave none alive!"
"Huaahahhahahahaha~! This is extremely funny and satisfying all of a sudden. Didn't you just say that I would be killed in the first round?
Now you seem confident in me killing everyone one else and leaving the Arena alive!
Make up your mind woman!"
Eric seemed to be enjoying fooling around and teasing Madam Yan Meng who was trying to keep her calm, cool, and cold expression, even though it was difficult.
"Don't get the wrong idea, I don't have confidence in you! I am confident about the pill you just received and this!"
This time she took out a weapon, it was a beautiful silver sword, with a sharp edge. Not too thin, but not too thick at the same time.
It was most certainly a great sword, or to be more accurate it was most certainly a 5-star artifact. It was something that not many people could wield and make use of.
The moment that he touched the sword, he could actually feel as if he was left alone with just a sword as his companion.
The next moment the situation turned intense as the sword immediately changed and started attacking him with everything it had stored.
It looked like Eric was doomed this time.
"Take the pill, and focus on convincing the artifact's spirit, otherwise you are doomed!"
'Hmph~!'
Eric snorted cold and loudly inside his heart, but he did as Madam Yan Meng 'ordered' him to do.
He had no intention of actually revealing his strength, and his trump cards to her or anyone else at the moment, as he concentrated on his breakthrough.
The truth was that this pill was extremely potent, carrying a lot of energy within itself, and immediately bloating his insides, despite the fact that he had broken through not far ago.
'Shit, he didn't expect it to be this good!'
