MMORPG: The Almighty Ring Chapter 508 - Double Standards

“My lord! Look there!” said a Naga Brute that was standing on the front.

“Hm?”

It was hard to hide the Mermaid Princess, especially since the Fishmen were all too small to completely hide her behind them.

“Sigh!”

Zorg sighed heavily as he knew that there was no way around this. If he had not found the Mermaid Princess right then, he might take this as an excuse to leave the island. However, the Mermaid Princess was found, if he retreated, Morgan would not forgive him.

“Dragon friends. This matter only concerns the Seafolk. I sincerely hope that you do not get into our businesses,” said Zorg.

“You’re exactly correct, beings of the sea. You can do whatever you want when I’m gone from this island. Until then, do not disturb my peace,” said Jiang Fei, insisting on them to leave.

“Please understand. That Mermaid is our fugitive. If you could turn a blind eye on this, The Nagas would surely remember this favor for the rest of our lives,” said Zorg, trying his best not to anger the Dragon.

“You have five minutes to leave or I’ll treat you all as an agent of chaos disturbing my rest,” said Jiang Fei with a sense of ferocity. Dragons may be intelligence beasts but they were still beasts in the end. Their inner instinct to destroy would still prevail if their emotions were left unchecked. If the Nagas still insisted on proceeding, an all-out battle would break out.

“Dragon friend, I recognize that you are strong. But even if you could defeat us all, the Tyrant of the Ocean would come for you. Know this, the Tyrant of the Ocean is much stronger than I am,” said Zorg. He wanted Jiang Fei to let him through badly since fighting him or facing Morgan without the princess would result in him being hurt badly.

“…”

Jiang Fei kept quiet. That was probably too much for him to handle. Even though he was not afraid of Zorg, he did not know what Morgan was like. Knowing how the scenario developers worked, another boss would appear one after another. Right then, Zorg was a Level 70 Lord tier boss. What came next would be stronger. There would be a point where Jiang Fei would not be able to handle.

“Urgh… Hmm…” Alas, while Jiang Fei was thinking his way out of this complicated situation, the Mermaid Princess finally opened her eyes.

“Lockdown the area! Do not let her escape!” cried Zorg, ignoring Jiang Fei’s warning. The entire army of Nagas moved out and spread all over the beach to form a small blockade.

“Looks like it’s time for some bas.h.i.+ng,” said Jiang Fei. Knowing that it had come to this, Zorg would not let the Princess go without a fight. Jiang Fei winked at Isabella, hinting her to be ready for a huge battle.

SPLAs.h.!.+

At this moment, the sea grew wild and another huge wave came in, bringing in another boss!

Jiang Fei frowned hard as he saw that the new boss was a female Naga with six arms!

The newcomer slithered pa.s.s the waters and came toward Jiang Fei. She needed to bend down a little to meet Jiang Fei eye to eye and glare at Jiang Fei.

Merinda (Naga, High Lord)

Level: 88

Health Points: 55,000,000

Attack Power: 48,000

Note: Personal Strategist of the Tyrant of the Ocean.

“Why is she here,” asked Isabella as she frowned as well.

“What do you think?” said Jiang Fei. He needed Isabella’s judgment to know whether the new boss was beatable. Isabella quickly shook her head. Even with her Dragon form, she would not be able to defeat Merinda that easily. Both Jiang Fei and Isabella were only over Level 60 while Merinda was already almost reaching Level 90. The difference of power between the two sides was too great.

“Dragons! You should know when to retreat!” bellowed Merinda as she returned to the side of Zorg.

“…”

Jiang Fei kept his expression neutral. Truth to be told, Jiang Fei had already gone over his head. Even though he had lost the last of his Blood Lingzhi Mushroom, he could not fend off the new boss. The odds were too great and if Jiang Fei wanted to walk, he needed to let the Naga through.

“Dragons! We have no intention to wage war on you or your race. Please do not interfere with matters of the Seafolks. To show you our respect to the Dragon race, I shall personally gift you one of my personal treasure!” cried Merinda. Even though they had the upper hand, the Nagas would not want to purposely defeat a Dragon for no reason.

Male Dragons had two biggest weakness. One was their insatiable greed and their incredible l.u.s.t. When Merinda came to the beach, she had a good look on Jiang Fei and had felt the powerful warning emitting from Jiang Fei.

It was the Dragon’s Love Contract in play. Any female NPC within vicinity would be alerted by the powerful warning, indicating that this particular dragon had a partner. Knowing that, Merinda had concluded that the two were powerful Dragon and understood that the two were together as partner. Using l.u.s.t as a weapon of persuasion would be out of question. Hence, the only way left to seize the Mermaid Princess was to use greed against the Dragons themselves.

“Hmm?” Alas, Jiang Fei was interested.

The only reason Jiang Fei saved the Mermaid Princess was to gain something from the Master of the Seas as a reward. He had no interest in the Mermaid herself. Hence, as long as there was something to obtain from this, Jiang Fei did not really care whether it was from the Merfolks or the Nagas.

“Merinda! You can give up now! This man would never leave me behind!” cried a female voice. The Mermaid Princess had awakened and was running to Jiang Fei with her feet. Feet. Yes, she had the ability to change her physical appearance, granting herself two foot to walk and run. She ran to Jiang Fei’s side and quickly hugged him tightly from behind.

“WHAT THE ACTUAL F******!?” cried Jiang Fei.

Like Merinda, the Mermaid Princess could feel the powerful aura of the Dragon’s Love Contract in Jiang Fei. However, she was forced to behave like that to prevent the Nagas from taking her away. Compared to the wrath of the Dragons and being taken away by the Nagas, she made a rash decision and ended up with Jiang Fei.

“Dragon, is that what you desire?” asked Merinda as she questioned Jiang Fei once more.

“You mentioned treasures… What kind– HEY! WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?”

Just as Jiang Fei was about to “negotiate” with the Nagas to get the treasures, the Mermaid Princess loosen her grip on Jiang Fei and bit her own finger. With the blood flowing from her fingers, she quickly drew a blood mark on Jiang Fei’s bicep.

“What the h.e.l.l? No… Come on! Not this again!” cried Jiang Fei. The last time when Isabella forcefully bit down on Jiang Fei’s shoulder, she had forcefully made a contract with Jiang Fei. It felt like a forceful marriage. This time, when the Mermaid Princess drew the blood mark on his arm, it looked like she was about to do the same thing to Jiang Fei.

“What is this double standard… How could a girl get away with this… Arghh…” cried Jiang Fei to himself. This was the kind of trouble that he never wanted in the first place.
