Chapter 795: Chapter 795
"What are you doing? Let go of me!"
Linghu Baimei turned her head and glared at Fang Bai with rage.
"Heh... I’ll tell you what I’m doing in a bit! Just stay put for now!"
Fang Bai said, releasing his grip and walking toward Isabella and her companions. Linghu Baimei’s body, now unVisit NovelHub for more amazing novels and chapters.
"Fang Bai, you’d better kill me now, or I won’t let you off!"
Having just escaped from the clutches of Huo Niao, and now restrained by Fang Bai, Linghu Baimei felt an unprecedented humiliation in her life. Consumed with shame and anger, she lay on the ground watching Fang Bai’s retreating back, and shouted fiercely.
"Mr. Fang, you seem to want to rescue that lady, but it appears she doesn’t appreciate your kindness!"
Watching Fang Bai, who approached with a smile, Isabella spoke indifferently.
As the leader of the "Statue of Liberty," Isabella had her own pride and dignity. Now that someone had offended her most capable assistant, Huo Niao, if she couldn’t seek justice for her subordinate, it would greatly damage her reputation, and she would find it hard to command respect within the "Statue of Liberty" thereafter.
However, facing Fang Bai, Isabella didn’t have the confidence to win, and she also didn’t want to have a direct conflict with the Huaxia "Dragon Guard."
Therefore, Isabella felt extremely troubled.
Fang Bai smiled casually and said, "Whether she appreciates it or not is irrelevant to me. It’s enough for me to know that I have done what is right in my heart! Miss Isabella, if you have no objections, then I shall take her away!"
"Mr. Fang, do you think you can push around our ’Statue of Liberty’ as if we are some soft persimmons? Humph, I know you’re powerful, but this place isn’t one where you can come and go as you please!"
Huo Niao stepped forward and said loudly.
"Mr. Huo Niao, as someone who has lost to me, you have no right to speak here!"
Fang Bai glanced at Huo Niao with disdain and said coldly.
Huo Niao’s face turned red with anger, left speechless.
"Huo Niao makes sense. If we let her go , as the leader of the ’Statue of Liberty,’ I can’t justify it to my subordinates!"
Isabella met Fang Bai’s gaze and said earnestly.
"I Visit NovelHub for more amazing novels and chapters.
Fang Bai looked thoughtfully at Sardin and smiled, "Mr. Sardin, this matter doesn’t seem to concern you, does it?"
Sardin stood with his chest thrust out, his voice solemn, "The ’Holy Temple’ and the ’Statue of Liberty’ have formed an alliance, so the affairs of Miss Isabella are my affairs, how can it be irrelevant?"
Fang Bai grinned and said, "So, if I have a conflict with Miss Isabella, will you and Miss Isabella join hands against me, Mr. Sardin?"
Sardin hesitated for a moment and did not directly answer Fang Bai’s question but said, "There is a common saying in Huaxia, ’It is better to settle an enemy than to creating one.’ I hope that both of you can negotiate peacefully and avoid making a big fuss!"
Fang Bai nodded with a smile, "Actually, I also don’t want to make a big deal out of this... So, Miss Isabella, what do you think should be done about this matter?"
Isabella turned her head, whispered a few words to Huo Niao, and then pointed at Linghu Baimei, who was lying on the ground not far away, "For Mr. Fang’s sake, I can let her go, but she has to leave behind an arm as an apology to Huo Niao! Mr. Fang, I don’t think my request is too much, is it?"
To be fair, Isabella’s request was not too much.
Anyone who provoked the ’Statue of Liberty’ like Linghu Baimei did would usually end up dying miserably; Isabella’s punishment for Linghu Baimei was considered very lenient.
Originally, Isabella was willing to let Huo Niao kill Linghu Baimei, but she did not want to offend Fang Bai too harshly, leading to the ’Statue of Liberty’ becoming opponents with the ’Dragon Guard’, so she opted for a more lenient approach.
Linghu Baimei’s face turned pale as she listened, and clenching her teeth, she shouted, "To be maimed is worse than death!"
Linghu Qian Jiao stood beside her sister, fists clenched tightly, all set to protect her like a mother cow.
Although the two sisters had been at odds for a long time, they were born of the same mother and shared a blood bond. No matter how dissatisfied Linghu Qian Jiao was with her sister’s actions, as an elder sister, she could not bear to see her younger sister getting hurt by others.
Fang Bai sighed, "A beautiful woman without an arm is like a beautiful painting torn at one corner... Miss Isabella, how can you bear it? How about we choose a different form of punishment? Like... having ’Wrathful Beauties’ compensate you with a sum of money?"
Seeing that she had already made a huge concession, Isabella got quite angry when Fang Bai still wanted more, and tapping her staff on the ground, she said coldly, "Mr. Fang, do you think that the ’Statue of Liberty’ lacks money? I have already given you face, and you persist in protecting that woman, isn’t that unfair? Though I may not be as strong as you, I am not someone to be bullied!"
Fang Bai knew that the matter could no longer end well today, so he outright laughed heartily, his domineering side showing, "Fine, you want fairness, then I’ll give you a chance to settle this fairly: you three join forces to battle against me, and if within three moves I cannot defeat you, you can take the woman and do as you please! How about that?"
As soon as Fang Bai spoke, Linghu Baimei was immediately shocked and her face turned paler again, as she shrieked, "Fang Bai, you’re crazy! You might as well hand me over to them directly!"
Isabella and Sardin had long established names for themselves and their strength was comparable to a Heaven Level Martial Artist, and with Huo Niao, who was at the Earth Level Perfection realm, their formation was formidable. Fang Bai challenging all three alone was uncertain enough, let alone his claim to defeat them within three moves—it was the height of arrogance.
"Miss Isabella, since Mr. Fang is so confident, let us join forces and see his impressive moves, what do you say?" Sardin was also roused by Fang Bai’s arrogant words, laughing coldly with a ’heh heh’.
"Fine, then let’s do as Mr. Fang wishes!"
After exchanging glances with Huo Niao, Isabella said to Fang Bai, "If Mr. Fang can defeat the three of us in three moves, then we will respectfully see the three of you off. Otherwise, I hope Mr. Fang will keep his promise and hand over the woman to us!"
Fang Bai broke into a smile, "Agreed, a deal is a deal!"
Although Linghu Baimei was not afraid of death, she naturally wanted to grasp at any chance for life. However, watching Fang Bai and Isabella and the others make their "deal," her heart sank continuously, knowing her words carried little weight; nobody would listen, and all she could do was snort coldly.
