"I'm tired of running," the young man in white said with a faint smile.
Upon seeing someone come to Bai Ye's aid, the livestream audience erupted in excitement, especially those from R Nation, part of the Alliance of Towers.
"His Highness Houying! It's actually His Highness Houying! It's been so long since we've seen him!"
"I never expected him to appear at this moment. It seems he's here to help our Brother Ye!"
"Holy cow! His best bro has shown up!!!"
"I've never been able to gauge His Highness Houying's strength. Could it be that he's also of the Emperor rank?"
"If he's Emperor rank, then we're in the clear. Brother Ye can easily take on two, and with His Highness Houying holding off one, what are we afraid of with three of them ganging up on us?"
"What ganging up? Did you see Brother Ye back down? It's Brother Ye who has surrounded the three of them!!!"
"Haha! This is hilarious! Look at those scumbags from the Human Scum Alliance. They've all gone quiet at this moment. They're probably so angry they could grind their teeth to dust!"
...
Houying! The three Emperor-level powerhouses looked towards Houying in surprise. Seeing him standing with Bai Ye, their expressions grew grave.
"Houying, how dare you show yourself!" Han Wu Huang exclaimed.
Houying paid no mind to Han Wu Huang's reprimand. Bai Ye, however, amusedly glanced at him and the three demon Emperors. Even though he was now Emperor rank himself, he felt like he was still evenly matched with this guy. Had he not progressed beyond an intermediate magician since back then?
Bai Ye was now certain that Houying was definitely Emperor rank. And judging by the wary looks from the three Emperors, he was no simple figure. This guy had truly hidden his depths...
Bai Ye said, "Interested in a big deal?"
"What kind of business?" Houying asked.
Bai Ye tilted his head, gesturing towards the three Emperors around them, and with a harmless smile, added, "Name your price."
"Arrogant!!" Han Wu Huang glared at them, his face darkening. "We are all Emperors, not common cabbages you can pick off the streets. You're discussing our price right in front of us?" The Elf Emperor and the Green Ox Emperor also wore displeased expressions.
The viewers in the livestream could clearly hear their conversation and were left dumbfounded.
"Name your price, what does that mean?"
"What else could it mean? It means how much for each of these devils!"
"Brother Ye is truly domineering. 'Name your price.' Only Brother Ye can speak to Emperors like this!"
"Isn't that obvious? Forget about the rich lists or family rankings; even if you combine them all, none can compare to Brother Ye!"
"Your Highness Houying, for the sake of R Nation being a member of the Alliance of Towers, please lend us a hand! We beg you..."
"Handsome Houying, give us a friend discount, would you? A buddy price would be fine too!"
...
Above the skies of the Republic of Male.
Bai Ye continued, "Notre Dame Cathedral? The British Museum... or our Alliance's Forbidden City. Name whatever you like, I'll give it all to you." Bai Ye knew Houying's only known hobby was his appreciation for art.
However, Houying smiled and shook his head. Bai Ye sighed inwardly, realizing this guy wasn't easily swayed. If these worldly possessions could be exchanged for an Emperor, then Emperors would be far too cheap.
Bai Ye's gaze fell upon the three Emperors. He wanted to act, but he had reservations. Even if the three of them teamed up, he was confident he could defeat them. But killing them all? He wasn't entirely sure of his chances...
If even one or two escaped, the Alliance of Towers could face constant riots and panic, much like the demons from the portal world. Moreover, when Emperors acted, it wasn't uncommon for a large city to be ravaged, causing widespread death and destruction. This was the constraint of fighting on home turf.
"However... there is one thing that can buy their lives!" Houying suddenly spoke again.
"What is it?" Bai Ye smiled as well. As long as there was a demand, he would give what he could, and promise what he couldn't yet deliver!
"Your life." Houying's smile remained serene.
Bai Ye's gaze sharpened slightly. It seemed this promise couldn't be made. While the outside world perceived their relationship as good, Bai Ye still didn't fully understand this guy. But he was sure Houying wasn't joking!
At this moment, the three demon Emperors were momentarily stunned, then broke into amused smiles. The livestream fell silent, everyone utterly flabbergasted. What kind of dramatic twist was this?
