C3079 After a Moment of Silence
Hearing Raven's words, Bartu was sure he hadn't misheard her.
However, at this moment, Batu's expression suddenly became calm.
No, strictly speaking, he had become serious. In fact, his gaze had become serious. After which, he looked at Raven and his tone appeared extremely calm. He said, "Raven, in comparison to being unable to complete the battle results, lying about the battle results is a true crime!"
Raven was stunned when she heard this. Immediately, she felt that she did not know whether to laugh or cry. She immediately said, "No, I did not lie about the battle results. We really killed a Giant Scorpion King..."
"Raven!!"
However, before Raven could finish speaking, Batu's voice suddenly sounded. It was so loud and stern. The way he looked at Raven had already become incomparably cold. There was even a trace of disappointment.
"Do you still want to lie and quibble at this point in time?"
Rui Wen's face was filled with astonishment when she heard this. This was the first time she had seen Batou looking at her with such an expression.
"Don't you know what level your team is? Don't you know what level your team members are at? A Giant Scorpion King controls a territory that surpasses at least ten Giant Scorpion Leaders!!"
"Ten giant scorpion leaders, do you know what it means? It means there are at least ten C-grade mutated beasts. As for the giant scorpion king, it has reached B-grade. Even some of the top B grade teams might not be able to eliminate the Giant Scorpion King. This was because not only was the Giant Scorpion King strong, it also had many giant scorpions protecting it. With the strength of your team, you say you can kill a Giant Scorpion King? If you tell others, will others believe you? Ah? Isn't this the same as being accused of lying about your battle record? "
In Steel Core City, lying about military achievements was a very big crime. If it was light, it would be chased away, and if it was heavy, it would be directly sentenced to death. It was very serious, so in Steel Core City, no one dared to lie about military achievements because the consequences of lying about military achievements were very serious and would be investigated thoroughly. At that time, all the contacts would be severely punished.
This was a rule established by the creator of Steel Core City, as well as the first human hero.
He said, "We painstakingly created this condition not to let you covet and enjoy it, but to let you remember how difficult it was to come here. Zu Meng is not the right for you to enjoy it, but to let you cultivate better and fight for the human race!"
Yes, in this place, there were actually higher level teams and many other powers. They possessed extremely powerful strength, but they also had to shoulder more responsibilities and responsibilities. Naturally, they could also enjoy more reputation and status.
Hence, no one in Steel Core City dared to commit a crime like lying about their achievements.
After all, although the first hero of Steel Core City, ZERO, had not appeared for a long time, He possessed supreme might, and no one dared to doubt or shake him.
It was because a few years ago, some people thought that ZERO had died. They wanted to occupy the position of City Lord of Steel Core City and seize power, but they were directly slapped to death by a large hand.
At that time, everyone knew that although ZERO was no longer around, he still existed. He was still that legend that no one could shake!
Thus, even if there were some small movements from before, they did not dare to continue. They all withdrew.
This was also why Batu was so angry when he heard Raven say that their team had killed the Giant Scorpion King. It was because they were clearly risking their own lives!
Raven looked at Batu calmly. Then, she said to him, "I'm not lying."
"You're not lying? Raven, are you really trying to piss me off?"
Seeing Raven still refuse to admit it, she tried to argue. Batu suddenly let out a cold snort and said angrily," You go! Today, I will pretend that you have never been here. If I had not stood here today, I would not have said such things. If it's someone else, you're going to jail right now. Even your team members would be implicated by you!! "
"Now, get the hell out of here!"
Although Raven could understand Batu's anger, she was still upset. That was why she wanted to provoke Batu.
However, seeing that Batu was on the verge of going berserk, Raven knew that if this continued, the friendship between them would really break.
Thus, Raven immediately said again, "I really didn't lie."
"You!!"
Seeing that Raven was still so stubborn, Batou was so angry that his chest heaved up and down like a drum. His breathing became rapid. At this moment, he was already extremely angry. He was ready to open his mouth and curse out loud!
However, before Batu could curse out loud, Raven once again rushed to answer, "We did indeed kill the Giant Scorpion King, but we didn't say that we didn't invite external help, right?"
"You..."2
Batou opened his mouth wide. It was as if he wanted to swallow Raven alive. However, just as Raven said this, he froze like a wooden stake. His mouth seemed to be stuck by something, and he didn't close it for a long time.
After a moment, Batu finally abruptly shut his mouth. After which, he slapped his mouth and glared at Raven. He coldly said, "What did you just say?"
"I just said that the Giant Scorpion King was indeed killed by our cross-country team. However, it was not killed by us alone. Instead, it was killed by the external help that we hired."
Looking at Batu, Raven said word by word.
... ""
After a moment of silence, Batu finally reacted. He twisted his neck and stretched out his palm. Rubbing his cheek, he calmed himself down a little. A relatively gentle expression appeared on his face as he looked at Raven. He asked seriously, "Was what you... said true?"
Raven immediately felt speechless when she heard Batu's question. She had clearly said it just now. And now you want her to say it again? Was there a mistake!
However, seeing Batu looking at him so seriously, Raven nodded gently and said again, "Yes, it is."
