Chapter 547: Chapter 547: Promise Me Three Things

"Hehe."

Angela smiled, picked up a glass of red wine, raised it toward Xiao Zheng from afar, and then took a sip before saying, "If I hadn’t set up this scheme, you probably wouldn’t have come, right?"

Xiao Zheng also drank a glass of red wine and said, "I’m a bit curious, how did you recognize me? When I burst into the bathhouse, I immediately ran out. With my speed, you couldn’t possibly have recognized me."

Xiao Zheng was very confident in himself.

He was the Evil God!

Although Angela was a great master at the Innate Peak, the prospect of recognizing Xiao Zheng, who was wholly focused on escaping, was almost an impossible task. Xiao Zheng’s strength was too strong, unmatched by ordinary people.

Angela said, "At first, I also didn’t think it was you. It was only after I gave the whole incident careful thought that I came up with your name."

"Oh? How so?"

Xiao Zheng asked.

Angela said, "After you left, I started investigating how one could sneak into the bathhouse. Then I learned that you used Gang Qi to mimic the same frequency as laser beams, and with just a small piece of alloy, you penetrated that vast anti-gravity space,

shutting down the aviation hole. Either of these feats, the demonstrated strength of the intruder, far exceeds mine."

"If that’s the case, why did the intruder run away upon seeing me? He could have easily defeated me and obtained what he desired. I couldn’t figure it out, but in the end, I could only conclude that the intruder was afraid of me."

Angela said with a half-smile, "Tell me, who in this world is so powerful yet afraid to see me?"

Xiao Zheng had nothing but admiration and raised his glass to Angela, "You truly are a smart woman; you deduced the truth from mere traces of clues."

This Angela, worthy of being the Clan Leader of the Constantine Family, had quick thinking and extraordinary intelligence that far surpassed the ordinary.

Angela said with a mournful tone, "Smart? What good is being smart? No matter how intelligent I am, wasn’t I still harshly abandoned by someone?"

Xiao Zheng coughed dryly and said, "Well... Let me correct that—the term ’abandoned’ is not appropriate; it should be ’rejected.’ Nothing actually happened between us."

Angela raised her voice, "Then why did you rescue me from that human trafficker nation?"

Xiao Zheng said helplessly, "Carrying out justice, how could I just watch a group of women and children being abused right next to my territory?"

Angela said, "Having rescued me, you should take responsibility for me! But instead, you fled—that is abandonment."

Xiao Zheng gave a wry smile.

My goodness.

Was this not being unreasonably demanding?

Was this the same Duke who could turn the clouds with a flip of her hand? Was this the historically rare female Clan Leader of the Constantine Family?

Indeed, Xiao Zheng sighed inwardly, no matter the woman, they all had the same nature—they would never be reasonable in front of a man.

"Fine, let’s not talk about these unhappy matters," Xiao Zheng changed the subject, "I’ve come here to ask you to release my two brothers."

As he said this, Xiao Zheng’s smile also faded, his eyes became sharp as he stared at Angela.

He did have some entanglements with Angela, but when it came to his brothers, these entanglements meant nothing.

If Angela wouldn’t release them, then Xiao Zheng would treat her as an enemy, utterly annihilating her!

"Them?" Angela, seemingly unfazed by Xiao Zheng’s fierce aura, asked with a light smile, "They are fine. After capturing them last night, I sent them to the hospital to remove those anesthetic toxins. By the time you arrived at this castle, I estimate those two have already returned to your secret base."

"You’ve already released them?" Xiao Zheng, who had been imposing, was caught off guard by this unexpected statement.

He was stunned.

This Angela, she didn’t play by the rules.

"Why wouldn’t I release them? Capturing your two brothers was a necessity; otherwise, would you have come to see me? Now that you have, their purpose has been served, so naturally, I wouldn’t keep them," Angela said indifferently.

Xiao Zheng smiled. Angela really had a way with things—she casually resolved the conflict between them with such ease.

Moreover, while resolving their conflict, she also managed to owe him a favor.

It should be noted that the reason Long Qie and Titan were captured by Angela wasn’t due to any other cause, but rather because of Xiao Zheng’s oversight, falling into the trap Angela had set.

This was simply being outwitted.

Thus, with Angela proactively releasing Long Qie and Titan, it was as if she was extending an olive branch, sending a signal of goodwill.

It was like owing a favor.

"This time, I owe you one. To show my remorse, I’ll punish myself with three glasses," Xiao Zheng laughed heartily and downed three glasses of red wine.

Although he owed a favor, he was quite happy to do so.

"Now that your issue is resolved, I suppose it’s time to resolve mine, right?" Angela said with her cunning smile.

"You?"

Xiao Zheng was taken aback.

Angela continued, "The Golden Bone you stole last night belongs to me. Xiao Zheng, we’re old friends. If you wanted the Golden Bone, fine—but you should have contacted me, bought it with money, or exchanged something else for it. But you did none of that—you chose to steal."

Angela’s gaze was piercing as she stared at Xiao Zheng, "Don’t you feel that what you’ve done is utterly dishonorable?"

Xiao Zheng’s smile froze.

Cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

Damn.

Outplayed!

Xiao Zheng couldn’t help but admire Angela’s skills; they were simply too much to cope with. There was genuinely no room for excuses, no way to wriggle out, his Achilles’ heel completely exposed.

"What do you want to do about it? Just tell me." Xiao Zheng resigned himself to his fate, speaking listlessly, "I can return the Golden Bone to you right now. If you want compensation, just ask. Whatever I can offer, I will."

What else could he do?

Swallow the Golden Bone?

Xiao Zheng really couldn’t bring himself to do something like that.

Angela laughed merrily, "It’s the first time I’ve seen the Evil God like this."

Xiao Zheng forced a smile, "It’s just that this woman is too formidable."

Angela chuckled, "Actually, I could give the Golden Bone to you."

"Hm?"

Xiao Zheng’s head shot up as he looked at Angela, his expression brightening.

"However, I have one condition," Angela continued.

"Let’s hear it," said Xiao Zheng.

"You have to promise me three things," Angela stated.

"Which three things?" Xiao Zheng inquired.

"First, you have to agree or disagree," said Angela.

"As long as it’s nothing that goes against my principles or causes harm, I’ll agree to anything you ask," declared Xiao Zheng.
