Chapter 2959 - 1177: Do You Dare to Swear?
"You say you aren’t responsible, but how can we trust you?" one of the two middle-aged men, slightly taller, asked Mo Jiuli.
"Heh... Then what do you think it takes for you to believe me?" Mo Jiuli asked coldly.
"Do you dare to swear an oath?" the man thought for a moment and asked.
"And if I dare, then what?" Mo Jiuli inquired upon hearing his words.
"If you dare to swear, then we’ll believe you!" the man spoke naturally.
"Hehe... do you have the capital to negotiate terms with me? If I dare to swear an oath, proving the poison wasn’t my doing, then you will hand over your Space Ring, what do you think? Or, do you dare?" Mo Jiuli asked him.
"I..." The man frowned but didn’t dare to agree to Mo Jiuli’s demand. He wasn’t a fool; he didn’t want to bet his Space Ring!
"To be honest, when I arrived here, you were already more dead than alive. It was because I didn’t want to watch so many people die innocently that I rescued you, and I don’t give aid for free, nor do I do useless work. That’s why I brought you here. Either you hand over your Space Ring as payment for the rescue, or you recognize my husband as your master and become my people, and I’ll consider the rescue settled! If you are unwilling, I won’t let you go, so you might as well wait here to die. Anyway, when you’re dead, everything on you will be mine!" Mo Jiuli said directly to the crowd.
"If I recognize you as my master, but the poison can’t be cured, won’t I end up dead anyway?" someone else asked Mo Jiuli.
"Hmm, I’ve heard that when a Demon Beast is near death, it can find someone from the Human Clan to recognize as its master to recover. So I think maybe if you recognize me, the poison might also be cured! However, I’m not sure about this, which is why I’m letting you choose for yourselves!" Mo Jiuli said.
"Since you can rescue us, why can’t you provide an antidote?" The old man in white glared at Mo Jiuli, asking discontentedly.
"Why should I help you with the antidote? Let’s not discuss if I can cure your poison or not, would you give an antidote to an unknown person just because you have it?" Mo Jiuli retorted with a sarcastic smile.
Upon hearing this, everyone remained silent. Naturally, they wouldn’t. What did others’ life or death matter to them? Even the old man in white, though indignant, couldn’t refute Mo Jiuli’s words, realizing his question was somewhat excessive!
However, being in a high position for many years, he had never endured such indignation. Mo Jiuli seemed younger than his descendants but acted so arrogantly before him, which irritated him beyond endurance. Ultimately, he could only awkwardly glare at Mo Jiuli without looking at her arrogant demeanor...
Mo Jiuli paid no heed to the old man in white’s awkwardness! After all, no matter how they tried, they couldn’t escape. These people weren’t indispensable to her, but there was absolutely no possibility of letting them go. Moreover, she needed some henchmen wherever she went...
After listening to Mo Jiuli and the old man in red, the twenty-three people fell silent again, realizing that even if they surrendered all their possessions, there was no way to cure the poison. Among them, there were Alchemists, but they couldn’t identify the poison in their bodies or know how to unlock sealed spiritual power. In this state, if they left, they couldn’t even return to Jiuzhou Heavenly World and would likely die here!
