Sword Among Us chapter 654 - violent! | English Novels Online

The headquarters of Towering Palace was completely silent.

Even though Happy could not slaughter dozens of people by himself like Silver Wolf and Wind Chimes, Clear Music was in his grasp, so no one in Towering Palace would dare to do anything reckless.

“Have you made your decision?”

Happy stared at Clear Music while speaking in a calm tone. He did not show any signs of being affected by her unbelievably cold beauty. He just retracted his arm from her neck to not continue upsetting the people from Towering Palace.

Clear Music raised her hand and stopped the people from getting close to her while she stared into Happy’s eyes without blinking.

After taking in a deep breath, she said with a myriad of emotions, “You’ve achieved your goal of ruining Towering Palace’s reputation. Three Dragons Guild and all other foreign organizations also witnessed Mu Clan’s might. What else do you want?”

Even though she was very shocked by Happy’s ability to transmit his voice privately, she soon calmed down.

Towering Palace lost, and they lost to Happy.

They made a wrong estimation of his strength, and they had also grossly overestimated themselves.

Clear Music knew what sort of situation she would have to face after the day was over, but since things had already progressed to this point, she could only do her best to redeem her palace’s reputation.

After hearing her, Happy knew that his plans were thwarted again.

He had sent her a private message to ask her to take the initiative in handing over the people from Three Dragons Guild and promise to get rid of the ban she previously placed. Doing so would damage Towering Palace’s profit, but it was much better than being completely destroyed and their resources being snatched away.

But Clear Music decided to put on a show…

‘Looks like some women find it hard to give up on power when they’ve had a taste of what it feels like once they stand at the peak. It’s very hard for them to get through it because of their ego.

‘Dream Clouds is better than her in this respect. She will give up when it’s time to give up…’

“Since you’re not willing to accept my conditions, Mu Clan will personally come to the coastal area and search for the people from Three Dragons Guild. At that time, I hope that you’ll be able to bear the consequences.”

Clear Music had made a wrong estimation of Happy’s determination!

When he fought against Class One Hall, he had chosen to give Dream Clouds a path of survival so that they could recuperate, even though Dream Clouds had previously destroyed Beautiful Robes Faction. Clear Music had thought that Happy decided to show Dream Clouds a petty kindness. He might be smart, but he was not ruthless enough against women and cared about maintaining his reputation.

Compared to that time, the assassination attempt in their palace was very insignificant.

At the very least, compared to Dream Clouds’ situation, Clear Music did nothing to destroy Mu Clan’s might, and it had instead allowed Happy to show off his power as well as his influence.

Happy should be satisfied with how things ended!

Clear Music thought she had seized Happy’s weakness. Hence, when he mentioned his conditions, she decided to put on a hurt expression and pretend to be pitiful to gain his sympathy. She circumnavigated the conditions Happy previously mentioned, and if she succeeded, Towering Palace would still have a chance!

Happy had the title of the strongest in the game attached to him, so Towering Palace’s loss against him would not have a huge negative effect. However, Clear Music did not expect that Happy would refuse to follow the script and would resolutely decide to enter the coastal area with his entire army.

A hint of panic and anger appeared on Clear Music’s face. She could no longer hide her emotions. “You! Don’t you dare go overboard!”

“Go overboard?” Happy smiled faintly. “There’s no point in talking too much. Palace Master Music, since you’ve made your decision, then we’ll just pretend that I’m going overboard, all right? Today, I’ll let you keep your headquarters.

“Grim Green, before my fight at Mount Tai, I do not wish for any eyesores to appear and affect my emotions, regardless of whether they are Three Dragons Guild or Wind and Rain Alliance…”

While speaking, he cast a glance at Clear Music, Grim Green, and the others. “And the same goes to you, Towering Palace, and also Class One Hall! During this period of time, I want a peaceful environment!”

His words made it clear that he was listing the four organizations that were his targets.

Clear Music’s expression changed.

Her final trump card was her friendship with Wind and Rain Alliance as well as Class One Hall in the fight against Mu Clan and Chivalry Sect, but Happy’s words allowed her to understand that she had made a mistake.

Happy did not care about them working together! In fact, he had the intention of attacking them beforehand!

Musical Note, Shangguan Lian, and the others also understood it at the same time.

Once Happy conveyed his thoughts, he spoke again in a leisurely manner.

“Before the battle at Mount Tai, if Three Dragons Guild decides to do something stupid, I’ll make sure that Three Dragons Guild can never stay in China. If Wind and Rain Alliance opens fire, I’ll extinguish all flames of life in Wind and Rain Alliance.

“If Towering Palace is interested in joining in the fun, I’ll come and keep you company. If Class One Hall wants to liven things up too, I won’t mind going to Beijing to meet with them before my fight with One Emperor.

“I’m not being conceited here. It’s just that you… are all too ambitious! You can’t accept anyone else, and all you think about is causing trouble. If that’s the case, why should I show any courtesy to you?

“That’s all I have to say, Palace Master Music. Think about it on your own.”

Once Happy finished speaking, he tapped against the ground and jumped dozens of feet high. Then, like a bird, he quickly went over countless Towering Palace members’ heads and threw himself into the crowd in the street far away.

With a few more jumps, he vanished, leaving behind Clear Music and the others. They were speechless as they watched the hundreds of corpses inside the headquarters.

Happy had not just displayed Mu Clan’s might with his arrival. He had also squashed Towering Palace’s prestige in the coastal area.

Every person had a lost look on their face.

Mu Clan was about to march into the coastal area!

Was the time when Towering Palace dominated over the coastal area about to be over?

How did it happen?

Many people could only wear anguished smiles when they remembered how much Clear Music had refused to yield.

It was all because she wanted to do business with the foreign organizations and protect them…

And now, things were just wonderful.

For one Three Dragons Guild, Clear Music had not just destroyed their prestige in the eyes of the foreign organizations, which would make them lose trust, she had also allowed Mu Clan to enter the coastal area.

“Palace master!” Grim Green stood in the crowd with a regretful look on his face.

Clear Music pretended to not have heard him.

Towering Palace’s best fighter, Vast Heaven, did not show up, but in the eyes of Clear Music, Grim Green, who had Nine Solitary Swords, was comparable to the successor of Six Pulses Divine Sword.

Unfortunately, Happy had used only two moves to utterly destroy Clear Music’s hopes.

Grim Green attacked twice, and both times, he was sent flying with crisp and clean attacks from Happy. It was as if they were players of two completely different levels!

Grim Green did not understand what had happened either.

He was never at a disadvantage when he used his Nine Solitary Swords. He could mow down all resistances and stood as equals with Vast Heaven when they sparred together. Yet the fight had been in Happy’s control, which he found hard to accept

It was not that his understanding toward Nine Solitary Swords was too low, but that every single attack he delivered seemed to coincidentally crash into Happy’s hands, and he did not have room to change his attack trajectory.

If he could last for a little longer in Happy’s hands, perhaps the situation would have ended up differently.

But reality was often very different compared to dreams!

When Grim Green saw Clear Music quietly fling her sleeves before she left for the living room with a dark look on her face, he felt so regretful that he wanted to crawl into a hole and die. After all, he was the one who had suggested the battle today.

Musical Note, Shangguan Lian, and Haidong Qing also felt incredibly down. They followed Clear Music into the living room.

Flap flap flap!

Quite a number of messenger pigeons rose into the sky outside the headquarters and flew in different directions!
