friend?

Having experienced countless conspiracies and betrayals, he no longer believed such nonsense.

Any seemingly coincidental event often conceals a strong underlying purpose...

Chapter 0562 Feed the Dog

"Hey! Zoe! Let me introduce you. This is the boyfriend I just mentioned to you. His name is Zhang Cheng, an Eastern man who exudes mystery and danger."

Elizabeth was clearly unaware that her boyfriend had, in just a few seconds, thoroughly searched through the other person's entire brain's memories and deep thoughts, and then stepped over to introduce her to her new friend.

The latter also quickly sat up, looked Zhang Cheng up and down with a slightly scrutinizing gaze, and took a full half minute before extending his right hand: "It's a pleasure to meet you."

“It’s a pleasure to meet you too, descendant of the witch Selma.” Zhang Cheng coldly exposed the woman’s true colors.

Upon hearing this, Zoe's expression changed drastically. Suppressing her inner panic, she stubbornly said, "Sorry, I don't understand what you're saying."

"Don't understand? I remember you called me not long ago and threatened to dismember my beautiful girlfriend and feed her to the dogs. Have you forgotten so quickly?" Zhang Cheng slightly beckoned with his finger and used his magic to slowly pull the other person up. He casually took a sharp fruit knife from the plate, his eyes revealing undisguised rage.

He couldn't remember the last time he'd heard such an arrogant threat, and he couldn't understand how this woman dared to appear in front of him.

"No! Help me! Elizabeth! Your boyfriend has gone mad!" Zoe clearly sensed danger and immediately turned to the confused girl beside her for help.

Unfortunately, under the powerful influence of the witch Catherine, Elizabeth didn't hesitate at all and sided with her boyfriend, spreading her hands with a regretful expression: "I'm sorry, Zoe, I can't help you. You know, although Zhang can be a bit aggressive at times, he would never attack someone without a reason unless you've offended him. Besides, you didn't mention anything about dismembering me and feeding me to the dogs."

"Fake!"

Seeing that her little trick had failed, Zoe's skin quickly began to turn red.

next second...

boom!!!!!!

The terrifyingly high temperature of the flames instantly destroyed everything within a few meters, even vaporizing some of the people in the bathtub.

Some of the guests who were still playing quickly screamed and fled the scene, while some residents from the underworld activated their abilities and went into a state of high alert, trying to figure out what had happened.

"Hahahaha! That's right! This is what a descendant of Selma should do!" Zhang Cheng, who was unharmed, laughed and opened his arms, as if he was enjoying this little game of cat and mouse.

Under his protection, Elizabeth was unharmed and even asked with great interest, "What ability did she just use? Fire? Or an explosion?"

“No! None of that! She used her own skin as a medium to ignite hellfire that can burn the soul. Be careful, once you touch these flames, it's not just pain and burns; they will use your soul as fuel to devour it bit by bit,” Zhang Cheng explained, picking up a small clump of the still-burning flames.

"If my talent awakens, will I also gain this ability?"

“Uncertain! You must understand that witch powers are incredibly varied; even twin sisters can exhibit vast differences. Alright, now is not the time to discuss this. I need to fulfill my promise. Please wait for me a little while.”

As the last word fell, Zhang Cheng slightly raised his right hand in a grasping motion.

moment!

A giant hand made entirely of energy grabbed Zoe, who was trying to jump into the sea to escape, and slammed her onto the deck.

boom!

"what!!!!!!!"

The unfortunate woman let out a bloodcurdling scream.

Because of the crisp sound coming from her waist, where her upper and lower body connected, a terrible sound that only comes from a completely shattered spine and pelvis.

Under the onslaught of Bigby's Great Hand magic, not to mention a mere witch, even a dragon would have to obediently prostrate itself.

Zhang Cheng showed no pity for the beautiful woman's miserable state. Humming an unknown tune, he approached her, grabbed her long black hair, and dragged her onto a table like a dead pig. He stroked his chin and muttered to himself, "Right! Before we begin, I think I'll need a dog."

Without any hesitation, he immediately took out the "Grimoire of Domination" and summoned the hellhound Gezami from the basement of the villa.

When this ferocious-looking monster, exuding an evil aura, appeared, everyone involuntarily held their breath.

Ignoring the audience, Zhang Cheng raised a sharp fruit knife and began brandishing it at Zoe's body. Finally, he swiftly severed two of her toes and threw them on the ground, shouting, "Eat it!"

"..."

Although Gezami wanted to express his disdain, considering his master's evil and power, he obediently stuck out his tongue, rolled it into his mouth, and swallowed it.

“Very good! Now let’s start from the feet and dismember and devour this woman piece by piece.”

The relaxed and carefree tone in Zhang Cheng's voice made it sound as if he were talking about eating a roast suckling pig, rather than dismembering a living, beautiful woman.

Especially with that faint smile on his face, he was almost indistinguishable from Hannibal Lecter, the cannibalistic doctor in the movies.

Perhaps the only difference between the two is that he has absolutely no interest in cannibalism; he merely intends to use this method to declare what price one will pay for provoking him.

Fear is often a very powerful weapon, effectively protecting a person from external harassment and harm.

"No! No! No!"

"You pervert! Let me go! Let me go!"

"Don't touch my leg! Don't cut my leg!"

"Please! Kill me! Kill me!"

……

As Zoe's pitiful screams echoed across the cruise ship, Zhang Cheng, keeping his promise, cut her into small pieces and threw them to the hellhounds to eat.

To prevent death from excessive blood loss, he even used his newly learned druidic magic to repeatedly treat her, keeping her conscious and alive until her entire body below the neck was completely devoured. Only then did this woman, who claimed to be a descendant of the witch Selma, breathe her last.

Such insane and brutal behavior not only terrified the billionaires from the ordinary world, but also made the residents of the underworld and gang leaders feel terrified.

Just as he was about to have Gozami finish off the last head, Speaker Cosmo finally appeared with several members of the Supreme Council, frowning and shouting, "Damn it! What are you doing?!"

"What for? To eliminate the traitor who dares to oppose the council, of course! This woman claims to be a descendant of Selma. She recently attacked a magic item shop in my territory and killed quite a few people." Zhang Cheng shrugged nonchalantly, casually tossing his head to the hellhound, and bent down to wash the bloodstains on his hands in the pool.

Chapter 0563 Close the gate! Release the hellhounds!

"A descendant of Selma?" Cosmo glanced at the head that the hellhound was gnawing on, his eyes filled with doubt.

A guy who looked like an assistant seemed to remember something and quickly stepped forward and whispered a few words in his ear.

Soon, the angry expression on the face of the speaker of the Supreme Council disappeared, replaced by an indescribable complexity.

A full minute later, he finally spoke: "Are you sure she is a descendant of Selma? According to the council's records, every appearance of a Selma descendant brings endless turmoil, slaughter, and death. Her behavior seems far from deserving of such a title."

"I'm sorry, Your Excellency Speaker, I'm afraid I can't give you a satisfactory explanation. But I can assure you that the one stirring up trouble in New York recently is definitely this woman. In addition, I just gleaned some interesting information from her mind, such as that some of her accomplices have set up an ambush to steal dragon eggs from some guests after the auction." Zhang Cheng delivered this information with a smile, which made many people present uneasy.

This auction is different from previous ones, especially with a total of twenty dragon eggs. One wrong move could trigger a chain reaction, or even a war in the underworld.

The North American Supreme Council had already entered a state of alert and would not allow anyone to cause trouble at this time under any circumstances.

"Oh? You know their plan!" A glint of light flashed in the speaker's eyes.

Zhang Cheng nodded slightly: "That's right! In fact, this woman was an inside agent. Before the auction ended, she would find out who had gotten the dragon eggs, and then choose some of the weaker ones to attack. To ensure a successful attack, they even prepared a powerful magical item, half of a golden sundial that was once enshrined in the altar of the ancient Temple of Apollo."

"what?!"

"Are these guys crazy?!"

"Where did they get such a dangerous thing?"

……

Upon hearing the name of the magical item, not only the lords but even the councilors stared in shock.

This timekeeping device, said to be the earliest known timekeeping instrument in the world, contains the supreme divine power of the ancient Greek sun god Apollo. It only needs to be exposed to sunlight for a few minutes to burn the enemy to ashes.

Just as everyone was discussing the matter, Cosmo looked the young man standing in front of him up and down, and suddenly asked in a tone that was neither a smile nor a frown, "You don't seem nervous at all?"

“Nervous? Why should I be nervous! It’s just half of a sundial enshrined in the Temple of Apollo.” Zhang Cheng shrugged nonchalantly.

With the power of the Shattered Magic Crystal, would he really be afraid of sunlight?

joke!

When the Shattered Magic Crystal is activated at full power, it can absorb all the sunlight within a radius of thousands of kilometers as energy storage, and even temporarily plunge the earth into darkness at noon.

That half of the sundial might be an extremely deadly weapon to others, but in his eyes it was just an enhanced power source.

"What arrogance! Since you think the Golden Sundial is no big deal, then you can deal with them yourself." Councilor Joanna, who had previously caused trouble for Zhang Cheng, suddenly stepped forward and provoked him.

"Heh! I don't mind taking care of a few annoying little rats along the way! But the problem is... what's in it for me? Don't tell me you're not planning to give anything in return, just want to order me to kill people. Sorry, I might consider agreeing to such a request if a young and beautiful girl made it, but an ugly old woman like you is really disgusting." Zhang Cheng mercilessly unleashed his venomous tongue to mock the other party.

Although he was not entirely sure why, he could sense a strong hostility emanating from the old woman in front of him.

When dealing with enemies, he always adhered to two basic principles: first, to completely eliminate them physically, and second, to completely eliminate them spiritually.

"you wanna die!"

Joanna was clearly enraged. She raised her hand and began to gather magical energy, attempting to cast some unknown attack spell.

Interestingly, before the spell could be fully prepared, Gezami took the initiative to activate his innate ability – Spell Lockdown.

moment!

The female councilor was backfired by the terrible magical energy. Her wrinkled old face turned red and purple, and then she vomited a large amount of dark red blood. Her whole body trembled as if she had collapsed.

"Can I kill her under the pretext of self-defense?" Zhang Cheng turned around and asked Lavern.

The latter shook his head slightly and replied meaningfully, "No, that won't do. By the rules, you are a junior councilor, and you are not allowed to kill a member of the Supreme Council under any circumstances. Of course, if a pet accidentally goes out of control and kills or injures someone, that's a different matter."

Upon hearing this, the other two members of parliament nearby couldn't help but twitch their facial muscles slightly.

Nobody's a fool!

Anyone with a modicum of comprehension would understand that Lavern wasn't trying to stop Zhang Cheng from harming Joanna at all; rather, he was showing him how to humiliate his enemy without breaking the rules.

Understanding immediately, Zhang Cheng quickly kicked the hellhound and shouted in feigned panic, "Oh no! My dog ​​has gone out of control! Get out of the way!"

As a member of the Burning Legion, a wicked and cunning creature, Ghzami was well aware of his master's intentions. He opened his blood-red maw and pounced, first unleashing two Devour spells in quick succession to devour all the protective magic on Joanna's body, then biting down on her calf and shaking his head as he tore at it.

"Ahhhhhh! You bastard! How dare you!"

Having served as a member of the Supreme Council for so many years, Joanna had never been so brazenly humiliated in public. She went berserk and shot out a scorching tongue of fire with her staff, trying to burn the hellhound and her left foot to ashes.

But the moment the flames touched Gezami's skin covered in red scales, they were as if they had encountered an invisible force field, and most of them were blocked. They did not cause any fatal damage. Instead, her own feet were burned to a crisp.

"Oh, right! I almost forgot to remind you. My dog ​​is an interesting magical creature. It has extremely high magic resistance, and ordinary spells have limited effect on it. In fact, they are specifically bred to deal with spellcasters. Not only can they counter and devour spells, but their blood also contains a terrible corrosive toxin. So, for your life and health, you should definitely not let it bleed." Zhang Cheng reminded him with a smug look on his face.

Joanna's disheveled appearance vaguely reminded him of the amusing scenes he witnessed in the game, where demon warlocks recklessly beat up mages during duels at the city gates.

It must be said that hellhounds are indeed adept at dealing with spellcasters, especially on the first encounter when you have no idea of ​​their abilities; it will almost certainly be a one-sided massacre...
