Chapter 1028 - Colossal Tower (2)

Over the next few days, Yuan and the Huang Family would return to the Colossal Tower early in the morning to exchange treasures until it was late at night.

As the days got closer to the day of the Tournament of Strength, there were noticeable more giants that were above 15 meters walking around the city.

"At this rate, I will be done with my business by tonight." Huang Chen said to Yuan as they left one of the stores in the Colossal Tower.

"Yuan, you know you can exchange treasures with the giants if you want. It would be a shame to leave this place without a souvenir, too." Huang Xiao Li said to him.

"It's really fine. I don't have any treasures to exchange, anyways." He shook his head.

He obviously had plenty of treasures for trade, but since this was only a trial and nothing was real, he wouldn't actually gain anything from exchanging treasures, and such actions would only cause him to lose a treasure without anything in return.

At the end of the day, Yuan and the Huang Family made their way towards the exit of the Colossal Tower after Huang Chen exchanged the last treasure he had.

"Now that I am done with my business, there's only the Tournament of Strength left before we head back home." Huang Chen said.

And he continued, "Thank you, Yuan, for all of your effort. Really, I cannot thank you enough for everything you have done for my family."

"I am just doing my job."

"No, you've done more than that. I will compensate you properly once we get back to the hotel. I have the best reward for you."

Once they exited the Colossal Tower, Yuan's group came to a sudden halt when a group of giants wearing armor blocked their way.

"What's happening?" Huang Xiao Li looked around with an uneasy face.

However, before Huang Chen could even say anything, a familiar voice resounded, "That's them! They're the ones that are conspiring against the Giant Emperor!"

Yuan turned to look at the voice to see a human woman pointing at them with a terrified look on her face.

It was Zou Nuying, the bandit who became the Huang Family's bodyguard to steal their treasures.

'She followed us all the way here? How did I not notice her?' Yuan wondered inwardly.

"I will need all of you to come with me. We will kill you if you resist." One of the giants there said to them in a cold voice.

"Wait! This is a huge misunderstanding! That woman is lying! She's actually a bandit that we failed to kill when she tried to steal from my family! She's part of an infamous group of bandits called the Gold and Money Bandits! We only came here to exchange treasures!" Huang Chen exclaimed with a pale face.

"Hmph! I don't care about your situation! We take all accusations that could bring harm to His Majesty very seriously! We will determine whether you are telling the truth or not once we interrogate you!"

"Resist and we will kill you on the spot!" The giants pointed their massive weapons at Yuan's group.

Yuan narrowed his eyes at Zou Nuying, who had a subtle smug on her face.

'How troublesome. These giants probably don't care about who is right or wrong. Their resolute and emotionless eyes tell me that they've already come to a conclusion— to kill all of us no matter if we are innocent or not to remove all risks. After all, we humans are nothing in their eyes.'

Yuan closed his eyes and took a deep breath before shouting out loud, "Giant Emperor Kulas! I know you can hear me! Get your ass out here, or I will never fight you ever again, much less participate in your stupid tournament!"

The place turned dead silent as everyone there stared at Yuan with wide eyes filled with shock, all of them seemingly in disbelief.

When the giants snapped out of their daze and realized that Yuan had just cursed their emperor, their faces immediately turned as red as a hot iron that had just left the fire.

Huang Xiao Li and her father fell to their butts from shock, and they both stared at Yuan with disbelief.This chapter is updatᴇd by novelenglish.net . Fire(.)nᴇt - novelenglish.net . bin

'This fucking idiot! He just sealed his fate!' Zou Nuying laughed inwardly.

"Blasphemy! How dare you curse at our emperor! A mere human! Even if the heavens forgive you, we giants will never forgive you!" The giants there roared, causing the entire city to shake.

"Die!"

The giant leading the armored giants suddenly swung his halberd at Yuan, causing the air there to tremble.

"Halt." A calm yet loud voice suddenly rumbled.

When the giant heard this familiar voice, his entire body immediately froze.

Everyone there turned to look at the direction of the voice to see a bulky man that was around 15 meters tall slowly approaching them.

This man had short golden hair and a pair of emerald eyes.

Yuan didn't recognize this man at first glance, but the giants there immediately recognized him even though he was much smaller than usual.

All of the giants in that area suddenly knelt on the ground and kowtowed to him while screaming, "This loyal subject pays respects to His Majesty!"

Giant Emperor Kulas, who was suddenly much smaller compared to their last meeting, nodded and spoke, "Stand back. That man is an acquaintance."

"Yes!" The giants did not question him and all stepped back, giving them room.

"Although your cultivation has weakened, your audacity remains unchanged. I was worried that you might have turned into a coward when you lost your cultivation. I'm relieved to see that was not the case." Giant Emperor Kulas said, seemingly not offended even though Yuan had cursed him out before so many giants.

"How did you know that I had been watching you?" he then asked.

Yuan smiled and said, "You can try to hide your aura all you want, but you can't hide the killing intent within your gaze no matter how hard you try. I noticed you even before I entered this city a week ago."

"Hahaha!" Giant Emperor Kulas suddenly laughed out loud.
