Online Game: Evil Dragon Against The Heaven Online Game Evil Dragon Against The Heaven Chapter 385: Blackmailing The Heavenly Stellar City Lord (Part 2)

“This…..That…..Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha……This dragon bladder is related to the safety of my wife and daughter, I should have someone make the medicine first. As for the matter of the reward, there's no need to rush…..Let's not rush, let's not rush. We'll talk later, we'll talk later…..” The Heavenly Stellar City Lord patted his head and gave a foolish laugh like a crazy man. His expression looked stiff for a while before he continued to pretend. It was clear he was deeply thinking about something……

“……” Ye Tian Xie was silent for a while before softly saying, “Sir City Lord…..You wouldn't be thinking of breaking the promise, right? The Execution Celestial Emperor's Royal Bow is with you, so giving it to me is a small effort. It would only delay you be a few seconds, do we need to 'talk about it later'?”

The Heavenly Stellar City Lord grinded his teeth. Before this, he never would have thought that Ye Tian Xie would actually take out the Undying Monster Dragon's Gallbladder, so he easily agreed to use the Execution Celestial Emperor's Royal Bow as a reward…..Now he wished he could have slapped himself. The Execution Celestial Emperor's Royal Bow was the city protecting divine weapon giving to Heavenly Stellar City by the Xi Yao G.o.ddess, it could not be given to others……Otherwise, not only would it be a grave offense to the Xi Yao G.o.ddess, when Heavenly Stellar City was in trouble, what should he use as a final defense…..It was related to the safety of the entire Heavenly Stellar City!

“This matter…..” The Heavenly Stellar City Lord was silent for a while, only saying these three words before not being able to say anything else…..Did he really have to give the Execution Celestial Emperor's Royal Bow to him? This was an impossible matter. Decline to give it to him? This kind of dirty thing, he had never done a dirty thing like this in his entire life. Once he did it, his old face, his prestige, and his conscience…..At least he would become an untrustworthy person in front of Ye Tian Xie. He was a respected City Lord, he could never raise his head in front of him again.

“The saying goes, 'Once a word comes out, it is hard to catch' and 'no status without credibility'. Benjamin Franklin said, 'If you fail, you can stand up again, but if you lose faith, you will never regain it.' Moliere said, 'A man who keeps his promise is better than a man who cares more about his possessions.' Hubbert said, 'A person that has lost trust is already dead in this world.' Mo Zi said, 'One without trust cannot do anything.' Gao Er Si said, 'The worst part of humanity is dishonest and cowardice.' Cicero said, 'Without integrity, one does not have dignity.' Da Zhong Ma said, 'When one's integrity fails, their body no longer has life.' x.x.xX said……..Sir City Lord, you are well read and have read many 'profound' books, so I'm sure you're familiar with all these proverbs. When a person loses another person's trust, that person will become untrustworthy forever to that other person. When a person does not have integrity, they do not have dignity and even their souls will be forever stained. Sir City Lord, you definitely will not break your promise, right?”

Ye Tian Xie kept going as he said a bunch of words. He did not pause at all, causing the Heavenly Stellar City Lord to be stunned. While he was in a daze, his old face turned red and white, it could be said he even wished he could jump into the yellow springs. He was filled with doubt that this brat had prepared everything before coming here.

But, being forced to this agree, he almost couldn't keep holding on……However, the matter related to the Execution Celestial Emperor's Royal Bow was too big……

He reorganized his thoughts and calmed himself down. He braced himself and his old face became serious as he said, “Young man, oh no, little brother. Come, come, come, sit down first.”

“Sir City Lord does not need to be so courteous, you are still a City Lord. Whether it is strength or authority, you are above all in Heavenly Stellar City. You virtuous character fills me with admiration and you are a senior, so how could I be on treated as your equal. Un, you are old so you can sit, I'll keep standing.” Ye Tian Xie calmly said.

“……Alright.” The Heavenly Stellar City was stunned for a bit, but he did not sit down. He gave a sigh as he said to Ye Tian Xie, “To be honest, when I asked you to get the Undying Monster Dragon's Gallbladder, I did not think you would succeed……”

“Un, I know.” Ye Tian Xie directly said.

“…..So, I agreed to use the Execution Celestial Emperor's Royal Bow as a reward because I was certain that it was impossible for you to take it away, otherwise I would never use it as a reward no matter what.” The Heavenly Stellar City Lord said.

“Then, what does sir City Lord mean by this?” Ye Tian Xie narrowed his eyes and said.

“…..You should also know the importance of the Execution Celestial Emperor's Royal Bow to my Heavenly Stellar City. If it wasn't for this, we would not have been able to drive back the blood phoenix. It is related to the safety of my entire Heavenly Stellar City, so I cannot give it to anyone.” The Heavenly Stellar City Lord braced his old face as he said this.

Ye Tian Xie was speechless for a while before slowly saying, “Sir City Lord, you are selflessly sacrificing yourself to protect Heavenly Stellar City, I admire you for this…..But have you ever thought about the consequences of going back on our agreement?”

When receiving a quest from an NPC, this was a mutually formed contract. When the players finished the quest, the NPC gave their reward and the contract would be terminated. If a player did not finish the quest, they would not receive any rewards and would even suffer heavy punishment for violating the contract. If an NPC violated the contract…..For example, not giving a reward when a player finishes a quest, or not giving a good enough reward, or etc., this meant that the NPC was violating the contract……The player could complain to the system and the NPC would be punished.

The punishment NPCs faced when violating the contract was much more severe compared to when players did it. After all, players violating the contract would face a single NPC, but NPCs would face countless players, so the consequences of violating the contract was much more severe.

In the quest description Ye Tian Xie had, it clearly stated that the Heavenly Stellar City Lord would use the Execution Celestial Emperor's Royal Bow as a reward. If the Heavenly Stellar City did not give him this reward, this meant he was breaking the contract. The quest description was equivalent to a contract statement and the witness was the gaming world's system. There would be no bias, no omissions, or falsehoods.

This sentence from Ye Tian Xie made the Heavenly Stellary City Lord break out in a cold sweat.

He never thought that Ye Tian Xie would know about the contract violating matter.

He had a clearer understanding on violating the contract compared to Ye Tian Xie. As a city lord, breaking a promise to a player and a citizen was a great taboo…..Like this, he might not even be able to remain as a city lord.

He quickly said, “We can properly discuss this matter……The Execution Celestial Emperor's Royal Bow is too important and it has a strong aura around it. If you keep it on yourself, it will be easily discovered by others and the greedy experts of the Lost Continent will come to attack you…..Moreover, you need to be over level eighty to use this bow. So, even if you have it, you cannot use it and it will bring you a lot of trouble.”

The Heavenly Stellar City Lord tried his best to convince him, but he was stopped completely by Ye Tian Xie's words, “It doesn't matter. Even if I can't use it, I would also enjoy taking it everyday and looking at it.”

The Heavenly Stellar City Lord scratched his head. His eyes suddenly lit up as he thought of something. He instantly revealed a look of joy as he criticized himself for being too fl.u.s.tered, actually forgetting such an important matter. Following that, his expression became much better as he said with a nod ,”Alright…..However, our agreement set was that if you brought the Undying Monster Dragon's Gallbladder, I will give you the Execution Celestial Emperor's Royal Bow……But, that was just to let you use it for a short period of time and I'm not giving it to you. I hope you didn't forget this and this deadline…..”

“Of course I didn't forget.” Ye Tian Xie secretly thought in his mind: he finally thought of it, “This Execution Celestial Emperor's Royal Bow is the Heavenly Stellar City's city protecting divine weapon, how could I take really take it. Having it to play around with for a few days is fine.”

The Heavenly Stellar City Lord gritted his teeth and said, “Since it's like this, I'll give you the Execution Celestial Emperor's Royal Bow……But three days from now, you must return it. Remember, three days!”

“Chi la”……A golden light appeared in the Heavenly Stellar City Lord's hand and following it, a large bow that was even bigger than the Heavenly Stellar City Lord appeared in front of him. When it appeared, a strong aura that made Ye Tian Xie unable to resist moving a step back was released.

The bow's body was golden and it was over two meters tall. The bow itself was like a golden dragon ascending into the sky and it was covered in golden dragon scales. Ye Tian Xie was stunned for a bit. He stared at the bow with his eyes and revealed a look of greed.

He did not say a word and reached his hand towards the Heavenly Stellar City Lord. The Heavenly Stellar City Lord's head became fiery, but seeing him reach out, he naturally gave the Execution Celestial Emperor's Royal Bow to him.

After holding this large bow and looking at it for a while, Ye Tian Xie's lips curled. Putting the Execution Celestial Emperor's Royal Bow in his inventory, the strong aura and pressure disappeared. He said with a faint smile, “Sir City Lord, thank you. I will properly use this bow.”

“Remember, only for three days.” The Heavenly Stellar City Lord said with a serious expression.

“Three days?” Ye Tian Xie revealed a confused look, “Why is it three days…..Did we set this time back then?”

“……” The Heavenly Stellar City Lord's face was covered in black lines, “There wasn't in the past, but now there is. Three days means three days.”

Ye Tian Xie continued shaking his head, “Since we didn't set the time limit in the past, even if we set a time limit now, it should be one we've discussed. It shouldn't be something that your set by yourself.”

“No!”

“Alright, then forget it.” Ye Tian Xie took out the Undying Monster Dragon Gallbladder and placed it on the table before turning and waving his hand, “This bow is now on me. You setting the time is your matter and how long I'll use it is my matter……We never set the time limit in the past, so I'll just use it for ten thousand years before returning it, which won't break the contract. If you forcefully take it back before this time limit ends, you'll be breaking the contract…..Then, goodbye.”

Ye Tian Xie raised his hand and prepared to leave. The Heavenly Stellar City Lord just realized that he didn't know what craziness came over him, but he had given him the Execution Celestial Emperor's Royal Bow before coming to an agreement…..He couldn't take it back even if he wanted to and he was forced into a pa.s.sive position.

It was like he said. Even if he used it for ten thousand years, it would be considered using it temporarily.
