The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

"What the hell did you do to me!" Hades felt like he was on the verge of going insane because of Tang Rao.

Tang Rao just looked at Hades and smiled brilliantly.

"Tang Rao, you tell me!" Hades roared, his eyes filled with madness.

At this rate, he'll truly go mad.

How can there be someone like Tang Rao in this world! Good heavens, what kind of person is this guy, he's driving me nuts. Hades doesn't consider himself a fool and regards his mind rather meticulous.

But in the face of Tang Rao, he always seems like an idiot, completely led by the nose.

And there's nothing he could do about it.

"Don't be so worked up, come on, let's have a drink and talk about it slowly. Look at you, all fierce and menacing, you're scaring me into silence," Tang Rao said as he picked up a bottle of wine from the table and poured two glasses with a glug glug sound.

Hades just looked at Tang Rao without saying a word.

"Come on, don't just stand there. I'm not going to harm you, don't be afraid."

Hades: "..."

Tang Rao, do you have no shame? You still say you won't harm me? I'm already going nuts because of you.

In the end, Hades still sat down.

But he didn't reach for the glass.

As for Tang Rao, he was leisurely sipping from his glass with a squeak.

"You don't think I've poisoned the wine, do you?" Tang Rao said.

"Yes." Hades nodded. That's exactly what I think. You're so sneaky, what can't you do? Poisoning isn't something you haven't done before.

Let me tell you, I wouldn't even touch the glass, let alone the wine.

"Damn, you're a Bloodline Duke, you know? Aside from the King, you're the most badass in the Blood Clan, do you need to be such a wuss?!" Tang Rao yelled.

So what if I'm a wuss, don't try to provoke me with that tone; I'm immune to your tactics!

"Fine, the wine isn't poisoned. I've laid the groundwork on you long ago; otherwise, do you think you could have escaped that day? What a joke, don't think I don't know where you went after you left, to the villa area in Sui City's Third Ring Dreamland Bend, right? Tsk tsk tsk, you're really loaded, owning so many villas in Sui City," Tang Rao rambled on.

Cold sweat poured down Hades' forehead.

Tang Rao actually knew his whereabouts...

"If I wanted to kill you, it would take me only a minute," Tang Rao said with a wave of his hand.

Would escaping underground... escape underground be of any use?

What a joke, the Abyssal Worm is the king of the underground, don't even think about escaping its pursuit.

"Why?!" Hades suddenly shouted, his expression somewhat desolate, "Tang Rao, why! Why are you targeting me, can you just let me go? Please, I beg you, let me go!"

He knew he couldn't outplay Tang Rao, not even a little bit.

Hades was close to breaking down.

"Who made you mess with me? If it hadn't been for Mario coming to find me, I wouldn't have bothered you at all. If you're to blame someone, it can only be yourself, right?"

Hades fell silent, a long silence.

Can this be blamed on himself? Can't be, right! You killed two of my underlings; I have to send someone to regain face.

"Ah..." Suddenly, Hades let out a sigh, then picked up the glass from the table and gulped down a big mouthful of wine.

"Forget it, just tell me what you want me to do," Hades surrendered. He had no choice but to surrender.

"Wouldn't it have been easier to just comply like this from the start? You've wasted so much of my saliva. Alright, I'll let you know how to specifically go about it when the inheritance battle starts tomorrow. Be good!" By this time, Tang Rao had already stood up, speaking with a smile.

Hades nodded.

"Oh yeah..." As he reached the door, Tang Rao turned back, "I forgot to tell you, actually, there was no poison on you before, just a mark from me. You were right, I did tamper with the glass just now."

Having said that, Tang Rao left the room.

The screams of Hades immediately followed...

...

The sun rose as usual the next day, the air was especially fresh, the sky was particularly blue, and the clouds were snow-white, just like cotton candy.

In a word, yeah, it was a bright and crisp autumn day.

Early in the morning, the mountain behind the Carrion Mansion was already buzzing with people.

The crowd gathered, each looking excited.

"Tang Rao, do you feel confident?" Soros asked through the crowd.

Speaking of which, Soros held Tang Rao in high regard. Although he would also participate in the inheritance competition, Soros felt he probably couldn't beat Tang Rao.

Helpless, that guy is cunning!

When you have no clue what your opponent is thinking, you're not far from defeat.

Facing Tang Rao, that's exactly how Soros felt.

"Not at all," Tang Rao shook his head, "Look at all you Dukes being so cocky, how could I be your match. Soros, if we end up facing each other later, you gotta go easy on me, okay?"

Soros: "..."

I can't even play to your level, if I go easy on you, wouldn't I just be brutally crushed by you?

"We just don't pick each other, then we won't have to face off," Soros said.

"Ah? We can actually choose our opponents?" Tang Rao looked surprised.

"Don't tell me you don't even know the rules?"

"Yeah, I don't know, and you didn't tell me either," Tang Rao shrugged.

He thought it was just going to be pairings and then fighting it out, but it seems that's not the case.

"The first round is actually very simple, you just pick someone, and if they accept the challenge, then the fight begins. The winner gets three points, the loser loses three points, if you refuse to fight you lose one point, and you can't challenge the same person twice, the top twenty scorers advance to the second round," Soros explained.

"How many people are there in total this time?" Tang Rao asked.

"Counting you, there are thirty-five people competing," Soros replied.

"Oh, so the pass rate is quite high then," Tang Rao mumbled to himself, his eyelids flickering, visibly deep in thought.

Buzz!

Suddenly, a light buzzing sound was heard, and a black crack appeared in front of everyone.

The crack was only wide enough for one person, and immediately after, a figure stepped out from within the crack—it was the King of the Blood Clan: Blood Princess.

Tang Rao wasn't surprised at the Blood Princess's ability to use Space Teleportation; being at the peak of combined powers, it would be pretty lame not to know how.

"My King!" Upon seeing the King of the Blood Clan, all the Blood Clan members present put their right hand to their chest and shouted loudly.

As for Tang Rao, he blinked twice, showing no concept of salutation.

"Let's start then," the Blood Princess said without any small talk. The rules had been set, no need for preliminaries.

"Yes!" everyone shouted in response.

"Tang Rao, come out and face me!" The next moment, a roar rang out.

Following that, Leonardo rushed to the battle stage, looking very arrogant.

Yes, Leonardo couldn't wait any longer; he wanted to crush Tang Rao.

First, to take revenge for yesterday, and second, to show off in front of the King and leave a good impression.

"Do you have a grudge against Leonardo?" Soros asked Tang Rao, somewhat surprised.

"Not at all."

"Then why did he challenge you first?"

"He probably likes me..."

Soros: "..."

Tang Rao, can you be serious?
