Chapter 6095: Iâm Afraid You Wonât Have The Pleasure
âReturn the scales to us!â One big shot yelled.
âSo which ones belong to you?â Li Qiye asked with a smile.
The big shot couldnât answer. The scales were identical so how could he distinguish the one he knocked down from the others?
Some were so preoccupied with staying alive that they had no idea whether they had knocked down some scales or otherwise.
âWe struck them down so they belong to us!â One ancestor shouted.
âYou are speaking on everyoneâs behalf? Will you do the dividing?â Li Qiye smiled.
The ancestor had no response as he glanced at the emperors and desolate gods, being far from qualified to take the lead.
âUltimately, these scales have nothing to do with you since you contributed nothing. Let the emperors distribute them!â An expert blurted.
They were jealous of Li Qiye benefitting without putting in the work while they risked their lives. Although the emperors could divide the scales unfairly, it was still better mentally than letting Li Qiye have the scales. This alleviated the intense jealousy felt by all.
âFine, which emperor will do it?â Li Qiye smiled.
All eyes were fixated on the strongest group. Golden Flower and Witch King were the strongest among them, two apex emperors.
âThe only thing any of you want to do is to get as many scales as possible with no regard for others. Of course, on a fundamental level, jealousy drives you to prevent me from keeping them.â Li Qiye said.
Some turned red and hot after this accusation because it rang true. A mortal didnât deserve these scales.
They also knew full well the apex emperors wouldnât be generous enough to give them a piece of the pie. Nevertheless, this was still better than the alternative.
âVery well, let me tell you something about me. I am someone who likes to annoy others, the more they feel annoyed, the more motivation for me.â Li Qiye said: âThese scales, Iâll be keeping them all.â
âIâm afraid thatâs not up to you.â One ancestor shouted; embarrassment turned into rage.
âSpeaking over the emperors now?â Li Qiye said.
The ancestor immediately closed his mouth and glanced at Golden Flowerâs group. Anger made him forget his position.
The crowd was reminded and stopped commenting.
âI donât think youâll be leaving this place alive with them.â Witch King said.
âPutting on a robberâs mask now?â Li Qiye smiled.
It became a contest between greed and reputation for him. Being the first to rob Li Qiye would besmirch his reputation, but the scales were immensely valuable.
