1381 Wormers Nightmare

After escorting Elin and Ava back to the castle, Tang Shaoyang went to the Adventurer Guild. He told them that he would return for dinner to assure them it was nothing serious. If he had to guess, it must be related to his message last night.

The wormers aka the former adventurers were having their drink. The hall was crowded with people drinking and eating. It looked like Worm1 had not informed them yet. In his presence, the chatter stopped as the wormers stood up and greeted him.

Tang Shaoyang waved his hand casually, telling them to continue as he headed to the fourth floor. Ladirma, Kali, Armano, and the other seven Demi-God Ranks were waiting for him. There was another familiar face in the room. He recognized the face even though the face was black and blue, just like someone who got beaten up pretty hard. It was the messenger he sent to the Adventurer Guild's main branch in Waskin City. The Adventurer Guild's main branch in Arkania Continent was in the Waskin City, the biggest one in this continent.

"They are quick to send the answer. I plan to wait for two or three days," Tang Shaoyang took a seat and presented to him, "So what's the reply?"

The Diamond-Rank Adventurer swallowed a mouthful of saliva as he was unsure. He looked at Tang Shaoyang fearfully. Last night's image was not something he could forget overnight. The Black Iron Adventurer was stomped to the death.

Tang Shaoyang's expression was calm, he expected the Adventurer Guild to fight back instead of agreeing with him. He expected that, but he still hoped the Adventurer Guild would not meddle so he had less work and more time to spend with his family.

The Diamond-Rank Adventurer was nervous as he tried to word the message less offensive. He might lose his life if the message made Tang Shaoyang angry. But before he could say the reply from the Adventurer Guild, he saw a big change of expression on Tang Shaoyang's face. Not only that, killing intent flared out in the room.

His heart was jolted in shock as he found himself hard to breathe. His chest heaved up and down, trying to suck oxygen as much as possible. His eyes widened in fear, and his body was shaking. Fortunately, it did not last long as Tang Shaoyang controlled his aura and killing intent.

The Diamond-Rank Adventurer peeked at Tang Shaoyang secretly. His face was expressionless, and his eyes were void of emotion. It was unknown what made Tang Shaoyang react like that. But he could tell that the man was angry. The calm and easy-going expression could no longer be seen.

"I do really plan to leave the Adventurer Guild alone but…." Tang Shaoyang did not finish his words as he turned toward Ladirma, "Have you checked the contract today, Worm1?"

Ladirma was surprised why his Master asked that, but he did not question Tang Shaoyang, "I haven't checked the contract for today, Master." As he said that, Ladirma took out all the contracts. He split the contracts with the other nine people in the room, "Check if any of them breach the contract."

Ladirma checked the contract daily before he went to sleep. He did not find any anomaly last night, but there must be something wrong if His Master asked him about the contract. The nine people checked hundreds of contracts in a hurry. They also felt the terrifying burst of aura and killing intent. It terrified them, so it was better for them to act quick and appease their Master.

Soon, they found out that twenty contracts turned dark red, meaning the one who signed the contract betrayed the Master. The ten Demi-God Ranks shot up from their chairs, "We will kill them, Master!" Worm1 took the initiative to take action instead of waiting for an order.

"No! Capture them alive. I need to show the others the price for betraying me," Tang Shaoyang said in a toneless voice. He hated a traitor the most, and death was not the punishment for the traitors.

The reason he snapped was because there was a group trying to kidnap his family. Avyn just told him a moment ago, a group of five people tried to kidnap his daughter and Ava. However, the attempt failed because of Avyn and Zara. He left Avyn, Zara, Radiance, and Karoen as bodyguards for his family. That was the only way for him to leave them at ease.

Ladirma handled the problem quickly as he managed to capture the traitors in thirty minutes. Eighteen Diamond-Rank adventurers and two Mithril Adventurers were on their knees in the big hall of the Adventurer Guild.

"I AM SORRY! I DON'T MEAN TO BETRAY YOU, MASTER! I HAVE NO CHOICE TO FOLLOW THEIR INSTRUCTION BECAUSE THEY THREATENED ME WITH MY FAMILY! I HAVE NO CHOICE!" One of the adventurers yelled as Tang Shaoyang came down from the second floor.

Tang Shaoyang's face remained emotionless, approaching the adventurer who yelled at him, "You have a choice. You can come to me and tell the truth, and I can save your family from them. That's the choice you have!"

"Traitors are one of a few things in the world that I hate the most, and I will show you all their fate for betraying me! Prepare all healers we have. I need them."

From night to the morning, The Worm Alliance witnessed what happened to the twenty traitors. They were forced to watch as Tang Shaoyang tortured twenty adventurers. The gruesome scene as they witnessed how Their Master skinned a man alive. Pulling out the eyeballs, cutting the tongue, pulling the nails, hammering the penis flat, popping their balls with hammers, and so on. The vicious cycle continued as the healer would heal the traitor back, not leaving even scars on the body. It was a nightmare, not just for the traitors, but also for The Worm Alliance who was forced to watch all of this from the evening until the sun rose in the morning.

In the morning, there were seven human flawless skins, eyeballs, nails, and crushed male vital parts next to each of the traitors. Not just one, but many of them because the healers kept regenerating their missing part, and Tang Shaoyang kept extracting them. The twenty traitors had lost their will to live after experiencing the nightmare.

"Just kill me…. Please just kill me…." That was what the twenty traitors muttered in the morning.
