Chapter 658: The meet (2)
Only after the ck Dragon broke off their intense stare did Leo shift his gaze to the Demon King, who was already seated in one of the two grand chairs at the negotiating table.
“Wee!” Leo greeted, his voice sounding deep with a hint of some fake well practiced warmth as he spread his arms while walking, in what was his perfect practiced entrance.
Leo expected the Demon King to give him a fake smile back, or atleast a nod of acknowledgement, however, instead of a courteous reply, the Demon King merely looked at Leo with a detached gaze.
It was a bored gaze that seemed to put Leo beneath him, as in the most disinterested tone ever, the Demon King replied “You’rete, human leader. I arrived before you.”
Unlike him, the Demon King was barely clothed.
Sitting in a slightly slumped posture, that signaled that he wasn’t really serious, the Demon King sat across him without any essories or weapons on his body, except for his aura enhancer hanging from his pants, as instead of his wealth or nobility, the Demon King chose to disy his bare masculinity.
His ripped abs were on full disy despite his slumped posture, as just one gaze on his body was enough to make anyone believe that the Demon King was at the pinnacle of the Demon Physique.
Usually, a warrior wore their battle scars with pride, however, there were no ugly battle scars on the demon king’s chest, as despite being hailed as one of the most ferocious warriors of the Demon-Kind, the king disyed a clean chest, as if to show that he had never been hit before. It was a flex of his strength that added an aura of untouchability to him, however, unfortunately for him, Leo was already aware of all his tricks and secrets.
Not falling for the humble appearance, Leo took his seat across the Demon King with confidence, as he said “Us humans call this being fashionablyte. But my apologies for the inconvenience nheless”
The Demon King raised an eyebrow at his response, however, said nothing to counter it.
He found his counterpart’s confidence to be quite amusing, however, did well to conceal his amusement.
“So… are we going to hold our conversation before a human audience?” The Demon King asked, as Leo only snapped his fingers in response.
*Snap*
*Snap*
Immediately, all the men who had escorted him into the venue rushed away, leaving Leo to chat with the Demon King in privacy.
Well, not exactly privacy, as just like the Dragon behind the Demon King, Dumpy stayed behind Leo, standing there with his arms crossed and his mouth shut.
“I assume the frog is here to stay then?” the Demon King asked, as Dumpy immediately retorted with a reply saying, “The name is Dumpy, I’dmit it to memory if I were you”.
At this moment, both the Demon King and the ck Dragon behind him blinked in confusion, as just like everyone else in the world of Terra Nova, they too had never heard a frog speak before.
“Did that frog just speak?” The Demon King asked, as Leoughed heartily in response.
“The frog is my pet. Pardon it’s crude tongue, it’s a mythical beast and has a little bit of an attitude issue” Leo said, as Anos straightened his posture slightly upon hearing that Dumpy was a mythical beast.
“That overgrown frog is a mythical beast? How amusing!” Anos said, his voice cracking up ever so slightly, as he mistakenly took Dumpy for a practical joke.
“I feel a faint sense of fear standing in front of this frog. It’s most definitely a mythical beast” Drogo said, as just like how Dumpy could feel his distaste for Drogo when he first heart his roar, Drogo could feel the fear embedded in his bones as he stood across Dumpy, although thetter was much weaker than him.
“Oh?” Anos said in shock, as only when Drogo acknowledged the frog’s strength, did he take it seriously as well.
Anos was surprised to find out that the human infront of him was also in possession of a mythical pet, as the pet’s presence made him rethink his entire approach to this meeting.
Although he did not let it reflect on his face, Anos felt increasingly ufortable talking to Leo, as whatever psychological intimidation he wanted to pile on the other party seemed to have no effect at all.
He came in here bare chested to show his superior physique, however, the human was clearly not impressed.
His aura was on full st, however the human seemed unaffected.
As if to match the aura artifact on his belt, the human wore an identical one on his.
And finally, to counter Drogo, his biggest support, the human came-in with a mythical beast of his own, nullifying any psychological advantage that Anos could have had in this conversation.
To make matters worse, the human before him was awfully confident and nonchnt, to the point where Anos felt like he was looking into a mirror.
When he looked into Leo’s eyes, he saw the same brashness, arrogance and suave that he found in his own, and this experience of looking into a mirror felt foreign and ufortable to him.
He was not prepared for such an encounter and hence it took a moment for him to process this series of unexpected events.
“Thanks for epting my invitation toe and meet me today. I feel like I have a proposition that will be beneficial to the both of us….” Leo began, as Anos gestured for him to continue, as he continued to observe Leo’s bodynguage closely.
“The proposition I have for you is to ally with me and attack the humans holding the western boundary in a joint attack.
Pincered from two sides, the humans are sure to fall. Allowing both of us to make significant territorial gains” Leo said, as Anos immediately scoffed at the proposal,ughing hysterically as he covered his eyes with his palm.
“HAHAHAHA…” Heughed maniacally, and for a long while too as he made Leo feel slightly ufortable.
“And here I was beginning to take you seriously.
And here I thought you were different.
Tch, tch, tch. It’s such a pity…
I really thought I met my counterpart and a True Human King.
However, you’re just another coward” Anos said, his disappointment evident in his voice, as Leo felt utterly confused as to what was going on?
