Chapter 639 Almost Ten Points
Regarding Ren's request, I was mentally prepared. After all, a guy who is not weaker than me, or even stronger than me is asked to join my team. It is impossible without some effort, but this effort is not enough. It depends on what kind of contribution it is. If it exceeds my bottom line, even if I don’t need his fighting power, so what.
I looked at Ren with a smile and said, "Just tell me, I'm all ears."
Ren said: "My request is very simple, that is, I will not carry out all your orders."
"Explain, explain," I said, "Which commands will you execute and which commands will you not execute?"
Ren said: "I can execute all orders related to the glory of the family. As for other orders, I will execute them according to the situation."
"Are there any other requirements?" I asked.
"No more." Renn shook his head.
"I can satisfy your request. Then, let's discuss the next issue." I said calmly: "Are you going to go to Moonlight City with me, or are you going to stay in this decadent Airei City?"
"Can a casino be opened in Moonlight City?" Ren asked.
"Eighty percent impossible," I said.
"Then I'd better not go," he said, "if I can't hear the noise of the gamblers for one day, my old bones will feel uncomfortable."
"Oh? This sound also has the effect of making you feel comfortable?" I asked.
"Of course." Renn smiled slightly, with a flash of light in his eyes, and said: "As long as I am in those noisy and lively atmospheres, I can suppress the urge to kill."
"Hey, from what you said, we are a bit similar," I said hehely, "I occasionally have the urge to kill someone that I can't help but want to kill."
"Haha, young people should learn to be more calm," Ren said: "It's easy to cause problems if you are too irritable."
"Only the elderly should take a good rest," I said. "Being always excited can easily injure your muscles and bones."
After that, Ren and I faced each other and laughed.
After laughing, I asked Lane: "Boss Lane, how much strength did you use to test you just now?"
Ren said: "Two points."
I nodded, feeling relieved: "No wonder there is no killing intention at all. It only took two points."
With that said, I turned to him and said, "What do you think will happen to me if you use all your strength?"
"It's hard to say," Ren said, "Maybe you will be killed by me in an instant, or maybe I will be killed by you in an instant."
"how you said that?"
"Although I was just testing you just now, you didn't show any strength at all. With that attack, we were at a 50-50 split."
Ren said so.
I laughed to myself.
Fifty-fifty, just kidding, the force from the last stab directly bruised my arm. Although my arm fully recovered within a few seconds afterwards, it was only within these few seconds that Ren was enough Killed me a dozen times.
Although it is not as crushing as Achilles, Ren's strength cannot be underestimated.
Thinking of this, I felt a little bit impatient for some reason, wanting to experience for myself the oppressive feeling that Renne could have on me when he was at his strongest.
So, I put the Odachi between my legs and said with a smile: "Boss Ren, can I have the honor to try the sense of oppression you can bring to me when you are at your strongest?"
Ren coughed and said, "Do you have a habit of being abused?"
"Of course not," I denied flatly.
"Then why do you feel uncomfortable?" Ren asked puzzled.
"I just want to feel how big the gap is between the strong and me."
"Don't you think about it anymore?" Ren said: "Such a temptation is likely to make you feel uncomfortable."
"I don't want to anymore," I said, "Come on."
Ren nodded, and gently placed the small object in his hand on the table. Immediately afterwards, the atmosphere in the room became solemn. Even the air became solid, and his breathing was also oppressed at the same time, gradually becoming... It has become difficult.
I frowned slightly and Ren said, "We are at 50% strength now. Are you sure you want to continue to increase it?"
"Of course" I said calmly, returning to my normal expression.
As soon as I finished speaking, I felt a wave of momentum hitting my face. I was not prepared for it and I was suffocated in an instant.
Fortunately, I was used to facing danger and death. After a brief period of discomfort, I adjusted my breathing slightly, hoping to return to the optimal state.
However, at this moment, I saw Ren looking at my body. His expression was serious, solemn, and deep in thought.
Following his gaze, I saw a layer of faint black mist, mixed with dots of red spots like blood, which continued to precipitate from the skin, like water vapor, gathering together and covering my whole body, condensing. And not scattered.
That was the killing intent that came out of my body involuntarily.
After listening to Odachi's persuasion, I would spend a certain amount of time every day to practice killing intent, precipitating it, then restraining it, expressing it again, and continuing to restrain it, over and over again.
After a period of time, I discovered that as long as I wanted to, the murderous intention could flow out of my body smoothly, and I no longer needed to create any mood.
And today, I once again discovered another characteristic that I possess after exercising my murderous intent - when threatened and oppressed, my murderous intent will naturally precipitate out and condense into a black mist on its own initiative.
Although the amount of black mist that can be separated so far is very small and very thin, it is beyond my expectation. After all, this kind of thing has never happened before.
As the murderous intent emerged, the pressure around him suddenly decreased, and he instantly returned to the original state.
Ren's lips moved slightly and he said, "Good boy, with this hand, it seems I don't need to be merciful."
Having said that, a very strong pressure came over again, this pressure was vaguely like the first breath that Achilles released when he first saw him.
No wonder Ren was able to escape and ascend to heaven despite Achilles' counterattack. It seemed like he really had two skills!
This oppressive force was so strong that it directly suffocated me again as I was shrouded in murderous intent.
In desperation, I could only release more killing intent.
Every time I release a bit of murderous intention, I will try to control it and prevent it from invading my thoughts.
After controlling each point of killing intent, I would release more killing intent to accumulate the black mist of killing intent on the outer layer of my skin and slow down the impact of oppression on me.
A little bit of release, a little bit of control, a little bit of accumulation, it didn't take long for Ren's oppression to become no longer so uncomfortable, and the amount of killing intent I could control had reached a critical value.
With my eyes burning red, I showed an unnatural and cruel smile and asked Ren, "How strong are you?"
There were drops of sweat on Ren's forehead, but not much. He said calmly: "Almost ten."
