Chapter 160 1 is on the verge of breaking out
Mo Ming's figure slowly appeared in the cave passage, with Xiong Da and Xiong Er following closely behind, exuding a dangerous aura. The entire cave was instantly enveloped by a powerful sense of oppression.
Romani stared coldly at Mo Ming, a contemptuous sneer curling at the corner of his lips: "Mo Ming... you really came."
Mo Ming stood in the cave, surrounded by fierce-looking ram-headed orcs, but he didn't care. He maintained his casual and indifferent demeanor, arms crossed, a mocking smile on his lips: "Oh? From what you're saying, you knew I was coming all along?"
Romani narrowed his eyes slightly, exuding an indescribable sense of oppression.
He slowly turned his head, his gaze sweeping over Hawkes and Lopez, and said in a cold tone, "Hmph! Only these two brainless idiots would be fooled by you and expose my hiding place."
Hawkes and Lopez were struck dumb, their faces turning deathly pale.
They instantly realized that they had indeed fallen into Mo Ming's trap. Under Romani's threatening gaze, the two dared not respond. They could only lower their heads, trembling as they knelt there, too guilty to even breathe.
Seeing the two of them like this, Mo Ming's smile deepened. He shook his head slightly and said with a half-smile, "Hehehe, I originally only planned to find Asya's hiding place through them, but I didn't expect it to be such an unexpected gain, even you showed up."
He changed the subject, fixing his gaze on Romani, and asked with narrowed eyes, "However, Romani, I actually knew the location of your hideout a long time ago, but I just didn't want to get entangled with you too much."
But last time you called in human survivors to raid my shelter, if I don't deal with you, do you think I'm easy to bully?
Although Mo Ming's tone was light, every word seemed to carry a sharp, confrontational force, directly pointing the finger at Romani. The atmosphere inside the cave instantly became more tense, as if even the air itself had solidified.
Upon hearing this, Romani's eyes turned cold, his tone revealing disdain and defensiveness. He snorted coldly, "Hmph! Don't try to pin all the blame on me."
I, Romani, act with integrity and honesty. I have never resorted to underhanded tactics, nor have I ever participated in your human conflicts. The one who attacked you? It wasn't me!
Romani's denial seemed flawless, and his tone was unusually firm, as if Mo Ming would be insulting him if he said another word.
"You won't admit it!" Mo Ming sneered, his tone somewhat cynical, "That doesn't mean you didn't do it. You don't need to hide it; you're involved in this."
I'm just letting you know, regardless of whether you did it or not, I'm putting this on your tab. It's up to you how you plan to pay it off.
Romani was speechless for a moment. Although his clan had gained the boss's favor, colluding with human survivors was indeed a shameful thing. If Asya and the others found out, he probably wouldn't be able to explain it to the boss.
Mo Ming didn't hesitate to expose it in public. This "bombshell" might not explode immediately, but it was enough to disgust him.
He took a deep breath, trying to calm his inner turmoil, and said coldly, "Hmph! I'm too lazy to argue with you about these useless things, Mo Ming. Let me ask you, where is that mysterious skeleton?"
"What skeleton?" Mo Ming raised an eyebrow, seemingly clueless about Romani's question.
Romani's eyes suddenly sharpened, and his tone became menacing: "Stop pretending! The skeleton you snatched from me at the auction! Don't tell me you've forgotten."
Upon hearing the word "auction," Mo Ming suddenly looked enlightened and said meaningfully, "Oh... the one you're talking about..."
Romani's eyes held a mixture of anticipation and wariness: "Yes, that's it! Where is it?"
Mo Ming curled the corners of his mouth into a meaningful smile: "I've made some soup."
A single sentence, brief and resolute, resounded like a thunderclap in the cave.
"What?!" Romani, who had been trying to remain calm, suddenly took a half step back, his eyes wide open, and his expression gradually twisted from disbelief to rage.
His fists clenched, and he roared in a deep voice, "You... what did you say?! You dare to stew it?!"
Mo Ming, however, didn't care at all. He even deliberately licked his lips, looking as if he was savoring the taste: "Hmm, the taste is not bad, especially the bone marrow, it's very fragrant. No wonder it's something that you beasts like to collect!"
Romani's anger flared instantly, and he trembled with rage, as if he were about to pounce on Mo Ming and tear him to shreds at any moment.
He gritted his teeth, his voice filled with barely suppressed hatred: "That's my skeleton! It...it's a treasure, a sacred object! It's...something that cannot be desecrated!"
Mo Ming coldly watched Romani's out-of-control state, a playful smile still playing on his lips, his tone deliberately contemptuous: "Oh? What's wrong? Judging from your words, it seems quite valuable?"
But don't forget, I paid a high price for this. Since I paid for it, it's mine. I can use it however I want—whether I cook it or bury it—it's none of your business.
Mo Ming pointed at Romani, his eyes filled with disdain and provocation: "You don't... really think you have any right to tell me what to do, do you?"
"You!!!" Romani was furious. He suppressed his emotions, which were about to explode, and glared at Mo Ming, trying to see if Mo Ming was lying.
The other orc warriors standing nearby also had complicated expressions, seemingly not expecting Romani to lose his composure over a skeleton.
The atmosphere was incredibly tense. Romani's eyes almost bulged out of their sockets. Finally, he gritted his teeth and roared, "Mo Ming! You're courting death! Today, I'll make sure you don't leave this cave alive!"
“Come on…” Mo Ming narrowed his eyes, a cruel smile curling at the corner of his mouth, and suddenly drew his sword. “I’d like to see who will be unable to leave here today.”
At the same time, Asya snapped out of her despair, stood up abruptly, her eyes bloodshot, and glared at Mo Ming, gritting her teeth as she said, "How dare you destroy the statue! I'll tear you to pieces!"
Mo Ming remained unmoved, coldly looking at the two of them, his voice tinged with sarcasm: "Your statue? Sorry, I just thought it was in the way, so I took care of it."
The air was thick with killing intent; a great battle was about to erupt!
"Damn it, I'll kill you!"
Asya was enraged. Driven by this anger, he leaped forward, a powerful force surging around him as he lunged at Mo Ming.
At the same time, Romani could not suppress his killing intent. He gripped his long whip, his eyes flashing with hatred, and charged forward almost simultaneously with Asya.
Mo Ming remained completely calm upon seeing this.
With a slight lift of his hand, Xiong Da and Xiong Er instantly transformed, appearing on either side of him, radiating a dangerous killing intent. Behind him, Meng Ling and Xiao Jin were already poised to strike.
