Chapter 361: Azmodeus!!! Find This Criminal!!
...
"???"
Yun Jin had no clue what was going on anymore, but if he wasn't mistaken, then he was most definitely getting robbed! And in broad daylight no less!?
"Y-You… Do you really need money that badly…?" He asked. No way was he expecting the newbie to be shameless enough to respond in an affirmative manner-!
"Yes."
"..."
Silence.
Both Azmodeus and Yun Jin simply stared at each other with blank stares. Neither of them knew what they should say next, but Azmodeus, being as shameless as he was, spoke up, saying:
"About that money, you actually have some to give to this unfortunate soul? I have a grandma that needs taking care of, probably… Oh, and there are these parents of mine. Pretty sure they went on the most wild trip for milk, so I need some funds to help them find that milk…"
Azmodeus extended his hands in a cupped motion, not caring a single bit about upholding appearances or face.
Silence.
Once again, a deafening silence overwhelmed the cultivation room. Only was it broken when Yun Jin tapped on his Storage Ring and took out a jingly bag. "In here, there are 1000 Grade 3 Immortal Crystals. Consider it as a sign of good friendship," he said. Tossing the bag toward the cultivating man, he expected him to at least examine the contents of the bag.
But contrary to his expectations, Azmodeus instantly transported that bag into his own bag. "Anymore goodies?" He asked without hesitation.
"..."
'This Azmodeus… He is… Who birthed this sort of eccentric person?'
Even if Yun Jin asked this question to the man himself, he would not receive any answer. After all, Azmodeus himself was not sure who's vagina he came out of. All he knew was that it seemed like just about everyone in existence had somehow met his parents…
"Anyway, that is not all I have for you today, friend Azmodeus. In fact, I hope that this next item will allow the both of us to enter a mutually beneficial relationship. And all I need from you is your word that we will assist one another in times of need. I assume this is fine with you," Yun Jin asked.
"I mean, you have already given me a lot of money, and considering that you did so quite casually, I can assume that you are a rich man. And maintaining friendship with a rich man is something that I would never openly decline… So yeah, we can do this. As for the goodies…"
Looking at Azmodeus's shining eyes and blunt way of speaking, Yun Jin couldn't help himself from acting helpless…
"W-Well, young friend Azmodeus, this item is what I have brought for you today. I do hope that it is to your liking."
BLING!
"!!!"
As soon as Azmodeus saw the dazzling object coming out of Yun Jin's storage ring, he needed no explanation. He simply snatched it up and put it inside his own storage ring.
"No need for any more formalities, good friend of mine! I look forward to many happy and productive days to come!"
Shaking his hands with a radiant smile, Azmodeus was practically beaming from the top, leaving a vast contrast to the way that he was just acting.
"???" "???"
Although taken by surprise, Yun Jin and Sebastian took in the positive response of the newbie SS-Rank Immortal Hunter. Though a little forward, this Azmodeus definitely showed a lot of promise in their eyes.
After a few more minutes of back and forth pleasantries, the conversation finally reached a point where it was time to talk about the newbie coming back with them to the Skyweaver Kingdom. In this kingdom, there was both the Headquarters of the Immortal Hunters Association and the family of the Dragon Slayer, Yun Jin.
Yun Jin wanted to get Azmodeus familiar with the other SS-Rank Immortal Hunters, and he also wanted to have him become accustomed to the inner workings of his organizations.
If they were to have a healthy and beneficial relationship, then they needed to be clear on exactly what they may be helping each other with.
Though for him, the people beneath him would take care of most things, it was always a good thing to have another promising All-Encompassing Immortal Realm Hunter on his side.
As for what Yun Jin could help Azmodeus with. Well, that list would likely be a very long one…
The discussion of moving locations was eventually brought up, and Azmodeus played the part of a reluctant native. Not wishing to leave the place he loved so dearly, he refused the Dragon Slayer over and over again!
But in the end, Azmodeus had no choice but to accept when offered another bag of 1000 Rank 3 Immortal Crystals… He had no choice in the matter!
It was his moral obligation!
After the big farce was over and done with, Azmodeus tagged along behind Yun Jin and Sebastian. Exiting the Branch Building together, they quickly found themselves stepping up into the lavish carriage that had originally brought the Dragon Slayer to this Kingdom.
"Who is that??"
"A friend of the Dragon Slayer…? For some reason, I feel as if I have seen him somewhere before…"
"Maybe he is a secret powerhouse!?"
Whispering among themselves, the immortal peasants discussed the unusually familiar person hanging around the illustrious Dragon Slayer.
Before long, their whispers faded off into the distance as the leaping horse had already entered the speed stream. Aiming to leave the Capital and the Everveil Kingdom itself, the carriage sped up its advance, leaping through the clouds as if jumping over jelly.
It was also at this time that the Everveil King discovered something monumental…
"That Azmodeus… H-His aura signatures were matched to the trace ones located on the Eldest Princess's tower the night of her death. And the results of this discovery… They came back positive…"
Silence.
After listening to the report made by one of his assistants, King Everveil's face suddenly morphed from peachy to a dark and violent red.
"Azmodeus!!! Find this criminal and bring him back to my feet like the dog that he is!! I want him to grovel and beg for forgiveness before I dash away all his hopes and strike him down without remorse!!"
RUMBLE!!!
The King's aura was on the verge of causing the entire castle to fall apart! If not for his honed self-restraint, then he surely would've killed everyone and everything in a ten million-mile radius!
