Chapter 940: Tired of Being a Dog, Want to Be a Man

Lin Lei didn’t immediately answer Xuan Zheng’s question. He leisurely sat back on the sofa, lit a cigarette, took half a puff, and exhaled the smoke that filled his lungs only after holding his breath for a minute.

Another puff, and the cigarette was finished!

But this time, he exhaled quickly; his head spun, as if he were drunk.

He looked at Xuan Zheng and asked:

"Do you know why, even when the Eternal Kingdom is reduced to just King Island, with enemy forces already attacking it, and the kingdom on the brink of destruction, I haven’t used the trump card of the Transcendent Laboratory?"

Xuan Zheng didn’t ask. He was waiting for Lin Lei to answer himself.

Lin Lei didn’t disappoint Xuan Zheng and said:

"Because I want to be the true king of the Eternal Kingdom, to become the ruler of all humanity, rather than being a puppet of the three Judicator Families..."

At this point, Lin Lei’s expression became ferocious; he gnashed his teeth and said:

"In the Eternal Kingdom, I am the lofty King. But in the eyes of the three Judicator Families, I’m just a dog they raised to guard the Kingdom."

"Even trash like Zhan Kui from the Zhan Family dares to boss me around. Do you know how angry I am?"

"I don’t want to be a dog anymore; I’ve had enough of it. I want to be human, to become the top person, to make the Judicator Families my dogs."

"The Transcendent Laboratory is my only hope to break free from the control of the three Judicator Families."

"So, when Huang Quan ordered You Ming to destroy the network and electricity of the Eternal Islands; when Huang Quan broke the formation of Biluo Island; when the global Allied Martial Artists forces occupied Biluo Island; when the Eternal Islands were lost one by one; when the Heavenly Sect, Hell’s Gate, and Prisoners’ Descendants finally decided to resist; when the Eternal Kingdom was reduced to just King Island, I was thrilled!"

"I knew it was time for this dog to turn around and become the master!"

Lin Lei’s voice grew louder and louder, finally shouting with an almost frenzied attitude and tone:

"Xuan Zheng, do you know?"

"That idiot Stephanie opened the formation of Demon Island, releasing the Demon Clan."

"The Demon Clan sent troops to Forest Island and joined forces with Stephanie to lure Ye Xiu to Forest Island to break the formation that concealed the Underground City..."

Upon hearing this, Xuan Zheng suddenly felt a chilling sensation.

He suddenly realized that in order to turn his life around, Lin Lei had been secretly preparing. Despite being inseparable from Lin Lei these days, he didn’t know that Stephanie had opened the formation of Demon Island, that the Demon Clan had sent troops to Forest Island, or that Ye Xiu had broken the formation concealing the Underground City...

Yet, all of this was within Lin Lei’s line of sight.

It was conceivable that Lin Lei had an extremely terrifying intelligence network.

"What a pity..."

Lin Lei lit another cigarette, took a puff, and sighed:

"Originally, I planned to let Ye Xiu, the Seven Armies, the Demon Clan, the Underground City, and the 11 million martial artists and millions of ordinary people on King Island fight to the death. Once they fought and died enough, I’d take action."

"Alas, I didn’t expect Zhan Kui to ruin the plan."

"Forget it, then I’ll act in advance!"

At this point, Lin Lei’s eyes, like those of an eagle, stared at Xuan Zheng and asked:

"Xuan Zheng, are you willing to follow me and clear all obstacles to unite the world?"

Xuan Zheng responded without hesitation, kneeling on one knee: "I am willing to assist Your Majesty in achieving your grand ambitions!"

"Thank you!" Lin Lei nodded!

Xuan Zheng stood up and said: "Your Majesty, Red Water City, the global Allied Martial Artists forces, the Heavenly Sect, Hell’s Gate, the Restorer Alliance, the Prisoners’ Descendants Alliance, the Lin Feng Corps, the Lin Fan Corps, all are cards in Ye Xiu’s hand. Ye Xiu’s goal is to destroy the three Judicator Families for revenge. Why not join forces with him, borrow his strength to first eliminate the Demon Clan and the Underground City, and then eliminate Ye Xiu, Red Water City, and the Seven Armies?"

Lin Lei shook his head: "Xuan Zheng, you know too little about what happened 26 years ago. The decision to implement the ’Dragon God Totem Experiment Plan’ by the three Judicator Families was commanded by Stephanie, but during it, I helped Stephanie throughout. The hardships Ye Xiu suffered, the death of Ye Xiu’s mother and grandparents, I bear direct responsibility. Ye Xiu will not only refuse to join forces with me but will also do everything possible to remove me."

Xuan Zheng suddenly realized and asked: "Then what does Your Majesty plan to do to clear all obstacles? With our side’s strength, facing many enemies, the odds of victory are not great."

Lin Lei extinguished the cigarette butt: "First step, I want to force the three Judicator Families to come out of the Underground City themselves and enter the battlefield..."

...

Ye Xiu slept until dawn the next day.

He was utterly exhausted these days!

"Are those two from the Zhan Family still waiting at the Ximen (Western Gate)?"

Ye Xiu sat down, took a sip of millet porridge, and asked.

Yesterday, upon returning, he instructed Qin Qing to monitor Zhan Kui and Zhan Ming. If Lin Lei came to rescue these two, he was to be awakened immediately, and then he went to sleep.

"They waited for more than two hours, didn’t wait for Lin Lei, and then returned angrily to the Royal City. After a whispered discussion, the middle-aged one entered the Transcendent Building, while the young one hid in a hotel not far from the Transcendent Building. After waiting for half an hour, the young one suddenly left in extreme anger, and the middle-aged one who entered the Transcendent Building never came out again..." Qin Qing said.

After listening, Ye Xiu started to laugh.

"Master, why are you laughing? Is millet porridge very sweet?" Jiaojiao Mengmeng asked innocently.

Qin Qing and Chloe were also looking confused!

"Lin Lei is in big trouble!" Ye Xiu said confidently.

"Why say that?" Qin Qing asked.

Ye Xiu laughed and said, "Yesterday I heard those two talking about delaying time, suggesting that Lin Lei would come to rescue them. This means that before they came to Red Water City they had coordinated with Lin Lei. They came over first, and Lin Lei would bring certain trump cards to meet up with them to attack Red Water City together."

"But they didn’t wait for Lin Lei despite waiting, which made them suspect Lin Lei intended to use the hand of Red Water City to kill them, igniting the anger of the Zhan Family, and using the Zhan Family’s hand to eliminate Red Water City. That’s why they went back to the Royal City angrily when Lin Lei didn’t show up."

"But they were worried their suspicion was true, so the young one sent the middle-aged one into the Transcendent Laboratory to confirm with Lin Lei, while the young one hid. They likely had an agreed time; if the middle-aged one didn’t meet up with the young one within half an hour, it meant the middle-aged one was killed by Lin Lei, and their suspicion was correct. The young one would immediately return to the Underground City and tell the Zhan Family of Lin Lei’s plot."

"I guess Lin Lei, upon seeing the middle-aged one, thought the young one was dead, so he killed the middle-aged one."

Qin Qing and Chloe exchanged glances; they had previously wondered why Ye Xiu hadn’t killed Zhan Kui and Zhan Ming.

Turns out, he was scheming!

"You mean the Zhan Family will send people to the Transcendent Laboratory to kill Lin Lei and take over the Transcendent Laboratory?" Qin Qing asked.

Ye Xiu nodded!

Qin Qing questioned: "But from yesterday until now, there’s been no movement within the Royal City; the Zhan Family hasn’t sent anyone."
