Divine Beast Lord: 10000 Amplifier From The Start

413 Heading Up The Mountain Despite Knowing That There's a Tiger in the Mountain

"You're Wang Xiao?"

The middle-aged man who had spoken just now spoke again. His tone was clearly not as polite as before.

Wang Xiao had an ominous feeling, but he still nodded heavily. "That's right, I'm Wang Xiao."

"Kid, you have guts!"

The middle-aged man sneered and reached out to grab Wang Xiao's collar. "Come with us!"

"What are you doing!"

Zhou Xiruo screamed and stood in front of Wang Xiao. "If you have something to say, say it here. What right do you have to take him away?!"

The middle-aged man's hand stopped in midair and he looked at Zhou Xiruo impatiently. "Who are you? We're from the Lord's Shop. I advise you not to be a busybody!"

"I'm Zhou Xiruo!"

Zhou Xiruo replied fearlessly. Seeing the other party's confused expression, she added, "I'm Wang Xiao's vassal lord!"

"Pfft! And who am I?!"

The middle-aged man sneered disdainfully and cracked his neck. "Let me give you a piece of advice. This kid is most likely dead. You'd better sever your vassal relationship with him as soon as possible!"

Before he could finish speaking, the others also gathered over. Although they were still restraining their auras, this group of men in black looked quite terrifying.

Zhou Xiruo's face turned pale, but she still stood on the spot and did not move. Just as she was about to continue arguing, a hand suddenly pressed on her shoulder.

"Xiruo, it's fine."

As Wang Xiao spoke, he pulled Zhou Xiruo behind him. "No matter what, I can't let you protect me. Otherwise, others will think that I'm your vassal!"

"You're still joking at a time like this!"

Zhou Xiruo's expression became anxious. She still wanted to continue standing in front of Wang Xiao, but the space left by the door was not big to begin with. In addition, Wang Xiao insisted on protecting her behind him. She tried a few times but failed.

At this moment, the middle-aged man also approached and grabbed Wang Xiao's wrist and shoulder with both hands. "I didn't expect you to be a man. Then I'll be lenient and give you a few minutes to say goodbye!"

"There's no need."

As Wang Xiao spoke, his shoulder suddenly shook and he easily broke free from the middle-aged man's hand. "I'll go with you. Don't treat me like I'm a criminal!"

The middle-aged man clearly did not expect Wang Xiao to be so strong. Caught off guard, he immediately revealed an awkward expression. "Then, then let's go. I don't think you can escape!"

With that said, the middle-aged man raised his hand and gestured. The surrounding people immediately made way for him to go up the stairs.

Wang Xiao calmly tidied his clothes and walked over with his hands behind his back. However, just as Zhou Xiruo was about to follow, the crowd suddenly closed and blocked her.

"Let me in!"

Zhou Xiruo shouted and wanted to look for Wang Xiao, but there was a group of strong adult men in front of her. How could she squeeze in?

At this moment, Wang Xiao also discovered the commotion behind him. He stopped and turned around, shouting, "Xiruo, wait for me here."

"No! I…"

"Don't worry."

Wang Xiao smiled at Zhou Xiruo from a few people away. "It's fine. I know what I'm doing."

With that said, Wang Xiao turned around and continued walking. As the crowd behind him gradually closed, he quickly disappeared into the sea of people.

Seeing that there was no hope of catching up, Zhou Xiruo's heart also sank to the bottom. She turned to look at the middle-aged man beside her and said coldly with red eyes, "If anything happens to Wang Xiao, I'll definitely make you pay the price!"

"Sure."

The middle-aged man sneered. He clearly did not take Zhou Xiruo's threat seriously.

Zhou Xiruo did not say anything else. She sized up the surrounding crowd with red eyes and was already prepared to risk her life at any time.

On the other side, Wang Xiao had already gone up the stairs to the second floor. There were fewer people here than on the first floor, but it was only a little less.

No one spoke. Wang Xiao did not know where he was going, but when the crowd saw him walking, they would make way for him. He followed the path that the people made.

A moment later, Wang Xiao arrived at the office on the fourth floor. There were only four people here. Two blocked the stairs to the fifth floor, and the other two were guarding the door of Lin Xiang's office. This was probably his destination for this trip.

Compared to the sea of people downstairs, the fourth floor was clearly much more spacious. However, the pressure these four people gave Wang Xiao was even stronger than the hundreds of people downstairs!

These four people were really too powerful. Even if they also tried their best to restrain their auras, they could still be vaguely felt. Just the pressure felt from their auras was enough to make Wang Xiao "They're discussing something inside. Please don't disturb them."

Wang Xiao thanked him with a strange expression, but he stood rooted to the ground. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝔀𝒆𝒃𝒏𝓸𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝙢

Looking at the respectful expressions of the four of them, a bold guess suddenly appeared in his feel despair.

"These are at least level six lords…"

As Wang Xiao walked, he thought to himself. He had once felt Tang Longji's energy aura at a close distance. Compared to the four people in front of him, it was not just a small difference.

At the same time, their auras were slightly weaker than Huang Tingwei's. They were stronger than level five and weaker than level seven. Therefore, there was a high chance that they were level six lords. However, it could not be ruled out that they had just advanced to level seven.

However, be it level six or level seven, the current Wang Xiao was definitely not their match. Therefore, there was no hope of fighting them head-on. He could only assess the situation first before adapting.

As he thought of this, Wang Xiao had already arrived at the door of Lin Xiang's office. However, just as he raised his hand and was about to knock, he was stopped by one of them.

"They're discussing something inside. Please don't disturb them."

The person who stopped him spoke. His tone was still considered polite, but he kept his eyes leveled in front of him, as if Wang Xiao did not exist.

Wang Xiao was stunned for a moment before replying helplessly, "My name is Wang Xiao. Manager Lin asked me to come."

"I know."

The person continued to look straight ahead. "The fact that you're here already proves your identity, but there's a discussion inside. Please don't disturb them."

"…"

Wang Xiao was immediately speechless, but he had no choice. He did not have the strength to enter even if he wanted to. He could only wait patiently at the door.

In the blink of an eye, ten minutes passed. Wang Xiao's feet began to ache. Finally, a voice sounded from the office. "Wang Xiao is here, right? Let him in!"

His voice sounded a little hoarse, as if he was not young anymore. There was no emotion in his calm tone, but at the same time as his voice sounded, the expressions of the people outside the door and even on the stairs turned cold!

"Yes!"

The four of them agreed in unison. The person who had stopped Wang Xiao earlier twisted the handle and opened the door a crack. Then, he looked at Wang Xiao for the first time. "Please go in."

"Th-thank you."

Wang Xiao thanked him with a strange expression, but he stood rooted to the ground.

Looking at the respectful expressions of the four of them, a bold guess suddenly appeared in his heart—could the hoarse voice that spoke just now be the boss of the Lord's Shop?
