Ch. 150 - Sir, We Won't Let You Down

Ace and King of Spades looked at each other and saw determination in their eyes.

"Mr. Fang has given us a chance. Whether we can survive depends on our own fate," Ace of Spades said.

"I can't match Mr. Fang's strength, but I don't believe I can't even deal with a pet!" said King of Spades.

With that, they charged toward the cyclops, full of fighting spirit.

The cyclops had been staring straight at Fang Xiu because he was the one who found him, making Fang Xiu his primary target.

However, before the cyclops could attack Fang Xiu, Ace and King of Spades rushed at him.

The cyclops felt challenged and roared fiercely. Then, a burst of Specter red light shot out from its eye, aiming directly at them.

Ace of Spades, driven by madness and perhaps wanting to prove his worth to Fang Xiu, unleashed all his power. His body became like a shadowy tide, forming a dark Shadow Spear to counter the red light.

There was a constant sound of corrosion, and the shadowy spear was corroded bit by bit. Ace of Spades was shocked. His pride and strength seemed so insignificant in front of Fang Xiu's pet. He couldn't help but wonder how terrifying Fang Xiu's true strength was.

King of Spades didn't just stand by. Seeing the attack from the "pet," he knew this monster couldn't be defeated alone. To win and regain Fang Xiu's recognition, they had to work together. He quickly shot out a bone spear from within him, piercing the giant cyclops and pinning it to the ground.

They attacked in perfect sync, one with boiling shadows and the other with a forest of bones. Soon, the cyclops was covered in wounds. A moment of joy crossed their faces, but it froze the next second.

The cyclops's eye flashed red, and the red light flowed through its body like water, healing all the wounds instantly.

"What!" They were shocked and couldn't believe that a mere "pet" was so tough to deal with.

The Specter's red light blasted, and they were thrown away, looking very disheveled.

They felt both shocked and angry, filled with a sense of defeat. No wonder their leader called them useless; they couldn't even defeat a pet.

Meanwhile, Fang Xiu had walked dozens of meters away. Hearing the battle behind him, he knew he was safe for now, at least the cyclops wouldn't come after him for a while.

Fang Xiu turned his back to them and said without looking back, "I thought you were weak, so I only summoned the weakest pet, but you're even weaker than I thought. It seems I should consider cleaning up the organization. There are too many useless people."

Hearing this, Ace and King of Spades felt deeply ashamed and angry, clenching their fists tightly. They looked at Fang Xiu's silhouette by the street light, his shadow enveloping him as if they were in different worlds.

"I'm not useless!" Ace of Spades shouted, as if trying to prove himself to the world. He got up and charged at the cyclops, turning into a shadowy liquid that seemed to merge with the darkness.

The shadowy liquid clung to the cyclops, trying to engulf it.

The cyclops burst into blinding red light, burning the shadows fiercely.

"Ahhh!" Ace of Spades screamed but didn't give up, still holding on to the cyclops. He wanted to prove to Fang Xiu that he was not useless.

Seeing this, King of Spades's eyes flashed with madness, and he also rushed at the cyclops, his body sprouting countless pale bone spikes, fighting the cyclops up close.

Driven by their fearlessness, they fought the cyclops evenly for a while, even gaining the upper hand.

Fang Xiu seemed touched by their spirit and paused slightly.

"If you survive, come find me." His voice was still cold, but to Ace and King of Spades, it sounded like beautiful music. They knew this was Fang Xiu acknowledging them.

"We won't disappoint you, sir!" Ace of Spades shouted.

Fang Xiu didn't look back and walked away until he was out of sight. The two exchanged glances, seeing determination and madness in each other's eyes.

They fought with their lives on the line to gain Fang Xiu's approval and to stay in the organization.

As for Fang Xiu, he walked home silently. He hadn't planned to kill Ace and King of Spades. It would be a loss to get rid of them after finally convincing them to fight.

Plus, if they died, he would lose clues to the Pokers organization and Zhou Qingfeng.

If they survived and were handled properly, they could become powerful allies.

The Bright was already defeated; otherwise, Fang Xiu might have sent the two there on a mission.

He thought that he had been too hasty in destroying the Bright.

To gain Ace and King of Spades' trust and avoid them getting killed, he had chosen the weakest of the nearby Specters, the cyclops.

Before the death reset, Fang Xiu had observed the strengths of various Specters.

The cyclops, despite its size, had the weakest overall strength due to its limited attack methods, which is why Fang Xiu chose it.

If the two Spades couldn't even handle the cyclops, there was nothing more to be done; they would just have to face death, as Fang Xiu couldn't control the "pet" himself. Their fate was in their own hands.

Soon after, Fang Xiu returned home.

As he opened the door, he was greeted by the beautiful face of his wife, just inches away, close enough for a kiss.

His wife looked at him tenderly, her eyes full of love.

"Honey, you're back. I miss you," she said.

Fang Xiu, used to such sudden displays of affection, remained calm and unaffected.

He walked past her, closed the door, and went about his usual routine. He got changed, drank water, and took a bath, all while maintaining his composure, even with his wife watching.
