Undying Warlord

"My report is quite simple…Shepherd Xias is dead, and if the lot of you are anything like that insane idiot, I will kill all of you as well!!"

Dilan just smiled faintly when he finished his words before shrugging his shoulders.

However, a moment later, his body moved at a rapid speed.

He spun around, his hand reaching for the pistol that was pointed at his back, just to pierce through it before the fierce-looking man could even react.

A moment later, a bright smile emerged on Dilan's face before his other hand reached out for the fierce-looking man's neck.

"I wonder...whose head will be rolling on the floor today. Will it be mine or yours?"

While speaking, Dilan's head turned towards the head shepherd once again.

A glint of excitement could be seen in Dilan's eyes while his lips curled upward.

Revealing his confidence, fighting skills and a 'don't fuck with me' attitude was the most efficient way to find a quick solution to the situation ahead.

But Dilan was not the only one who felt that the situation was quite amusing.

Like him, even the head shepherd was smiling vibrantly as he looked at Dilan.

The terrifying speed at which Dilan had moved interested the head shepherd more than anything else.

After all, he was pretty sure that Dilan's Agility stat was much higher than his own!

"Forget about Xias. I never liked him, even less after the Primordial Ascension happened…how about we talk a little bit?

I kind of like you, how about you join me? I will make you my direct subordinate!!"

The five men and women next to the head shepherd frowned deeply the moment they heard their leader's statement.

"Boss…what are you saying?!" One of them even asked, not believing how the head shepherd had proposed to casually take a stranger in.

However, the head shepherd was simply looking at Dilan with expectations flashing through his eyes.

"Direct subordinate? Does that mean you want me to be on the same rank as the others, or above them?"

Dilan was quite confused, but he showed as if he was amused by the offer.

The head shepherd was way too calm right now.

That was quite odd, considering that Dilan's speed should have been more than enough to demonstrate his prowess.

"You would be my right hand! Only I would be above you!"

Of course, Dilan wouldn't accept the head shepherd as his Boss. He had no intention of joining them either.

But that didn't mean he was not interested in figuring out more about the head shepherd, his gang, and so on.

This was even more important after he heard the casual way in which the head shepherd dismissed the fact that Xias' killer was standing in front of him.

What was interesting to note was that the five subordinates of the head shepherd were also not shocked about Xias' death. In fact, three of them seemed to be relieved that shepherd Xias had been killed.

Dilan felt that this was quite weird, which was why he discarded his thought of annihilating the head shepherd's gang for the time being.

"But why would you even think about asking me to join you? No less than your right hand at that! You know nothing about me, do you?"

The only thing the head shepherd knew was the fact that Dilan's Agility stat was quite high. And this was certainly not enough to make him a suitable candidate to become someone's right hand, even less because he was a stranger.

"Based on the fact that you came straight to the police station, you must have gotten some intel from Xias before killing him. That means you should also know the number of armed gang members here.

And the fact that you are not even a tiny bit scared means that you either have balls of steel and that you are powerful enough to kill me, or that you are overconfident and dumb.

I personally believe that you're just strong, but who knows!"

Like Dilan, the head shepherd was quite calm right now. He could gauge Dilan's strength and the fact that he could kill him.

Even if he were to release his ability with most of his mana, it would require a short moment for everything to be prepared.

This was the only downside of his ability- the short gap between the activation of his ability, and the completion of the preparations.

While the head shepherd was quite intrigued by him, Dilan was a little bit conflicted. The conversation was going on far more maturely than he had expected. Considering that shepherd Xias was crazy, Dilan had been certain that the others were of a similar nature.

But seeing the head shepherd's demeanor, this might actually not be the case!

The head shepherd seemed ambitious and confident to the extent that he was thinking of himself as a Lord.

However, he didn't look crazy to Dilan.

"Don't you know the saying…'A lizard's tail can regrow, but if you cut off its head, the entire body will give in!'...or was it different?"

It was quite obvious what Dilan wanted to say with this. As long as the gang's head was alive, the entire group would function, and the moment he was killed, it would crumble!

The head shepherd was still calm after hearing this. However, the five loyal subordinates that stood next to him got up from their seats in unison after hearing Dilan's threat.

They unholstered their guns before pointing them at Dilan's head.

"You piece of shit! What is your plan?!" One of the men in his 30s asked, his voice filled with anger!

Their group had other things to do than sit around while a random stranger threatened them. Dilan's sudden arrival was certainly not expected.

As such, it was only obvious for most of them to be tensed, even if the head shepherd was still quite calm.

But that was necessary to figure out what Dilan was planning to do!

"Why are you even acting like this? Don't you like people barging into your shelter? Then I have to apologize but I'm just returning the favor I owe.

Shepherd Xias acted quite arrogant when he barged into our small and temporary home. I could clearly tell that he was ready to kill if anyone were to mess up yesterday. His people were not exactly nice either. They were ready to **** women and kill innocent humans on command.

Maybe it was just his low IQ, but he and his people died despite pointing weapons at me, so don't even try it!"

Dilan was still quite calm when he first spoke, but after he stopped talking for a moment his sky blue eyes turned ice-cold.

His gaze was filled with anger that stared in the depths of the being's soul he looked at.

"In that regard, what is the head shepherd's opinion about the fact that Xias told me that everything he did was as ordered?

That it was the head shepherd and his people who ordered his shepherds to kill the Survivors that are unwilling to hand over the food and goods they had procured?"

Dilan didn't even care about the weapons pointed at him. He was simply staring at the head shepherd, while still holding the fierce-looking man up in the air with one hand.

"Is that true or not? Answer!"
