Mo Ming had always thought that the man with the strange eyes resembled the Evil Eye. Now, hearing Yin Jiu's words, Mo Ming's pupils rapidly dilated as his gaze fell coldly on the Evil Eye once more. At this moment, the Evil Eye still wore an emotionless expression, his lips flat to the point of being expressionless.
"Shura, I didn't expect our first meeting to be here. I can sense your inner shock; in fact, I've seen you many times before, but you have never seen me," the Evil Eye said.
The Evil Eye was like a Zombie, his expression unchanged as he spoke, as if he were wearing a mask. If it weren't for his eyes filled with malice, Mo Ming would truly suspect he was wearing one.
With Mo Ming's composure, he was only shocked for a moment. After hearing the Evil Eye's words, a faint smile appeared on his face as he said, "The Evil Eye indeed possesses a sinister gaze. I never expected our first meeting to be in such a setting."
"We would have met sooner or later. I came today just to deliver a message from Lord," the Evil Eye replied stiffly, his words reminiscent of an ancient person who valued brevity. However, Mo Ming understood that the Evil Eye was not being concise; he was simply too indifferent to bother saying much.
The mention of Lord immediately piqued Mo Ming's curiosity. For someone as proud as the Evil Eye to come and relay a message like a subordinate meant that this Lord must be the highest leader within the Dark Order.
If it weren't for hearing the Evil Eye mention Lord today, Mo Ming would have never known of such a figure. This indicated how deeply hidden he was; even if he did not understand who Lord was, it was clear from his secretive style that he was someone who strategized from behind the scenes and made decisive moves from afar.
"Well, since you have something to tell me, why doesn't your Lord come personally? Has he ascended to heaven and can only communicate through dreams?" Mo Ming sneered.
The Evil Eye showed no sign of anger; his expression had not changed at all from before. He replied, "You needn't worry about that. Lord wants me to tell you that you are a talent he values and does not wish to kill you. However, if you insist on opposing him, he will not hesitate to eliminate you."
He Yunsong remained silent beside them. Clearly unfamiliar with the Evil Eye and unaware of who Lord was, he understood that this man before him was undoubtedly formidable; otherwise, Mo Ming wouldn't have been so shocked upon hearing the name Evil Eye.
Lin Yuan'er frowned upon hearing the Evil Eye's words and asked Murong Lian with concern, "Sister Lian, do you think this guy might pose a threat to Brother Mo? I can see that Brother Mo seems somewhat worried; he's never acted like this before."
"Don't worry; Mo Ming is fearless. Even if they want to harm him, it's unlikely they could succeed," Murong Lian reassured Lin Yuan'er verbally while feeling some concern internally.
Just as Lin Yuan'er had said, Mo Ming had never worried about anything before. Yet this time, she sensed some anxiety in him. Jun Qianqian shared this feeling too; perhaps it was a woman's intuition—her instincts were right.
On the surface, Mo Ming appeared calm and unbothered, but inside he felt some unease. Today, both the Evil Eye and Yin Jiu had boldly entered his territory, and he was worried about what schemes the Evil Eye might be plotting!
"Ha ha! Should I thank that turtle-like Lord for not killing me?" Mo Ming's eyes flickered with murderous intent as a wicked smile crept onto his lips. "Evil Eye, since you dare to come before me today, aren't you afraid I might kill you?"
"You cannot kill me; I have no reason to fear," the Evil Eye replied lightly. "I've delivered my message. If you insist on going against us, you will forever vanish from this world."
He Yunsong initially did not intend to intervene, but upon hearing Evil Eye's arrogant tone, he became furious. "You have quite the attitude. In my territory, if I want you dead, how can you possibly survive?"
"Then give it a try," Evil Eye replied.
As soon as Evil Eye finished speaking, the members of the Little Green Society around them stood up in unison, the sound of chairs scraping together creating a chaotic noise. All their cold gazes fell on Evil Eye and Yin Jiu.
Now, if He Yunsong said another word, they would rush forward without hesitation.
"Boss, what's going on?" Hearing the commotion, Poisonous Peak, Wu Yong, Demon Guanyin, and other members of the Soul Alliance rushed over from the private room.
When Poisonous Peak saw Evil Eye, he was momentarily taken aback, then squinted his eyes and said, "Wow, when did this guy show up? I had no idea. Evil Eye, you’re quite bold to come here with just two people!"
"Since I'm here, what do I have to fear? If you all want to swarm me, feel free!" Evil Eye's expression changed for the first time to one of extreme disdain.
Yin Jiu, the leader of Hong Gang, remained calm as he surveyed the surroundings before settling his gaze on He Yunsong. With a faint smile, he said, "Yun Song, it seems you're planning to declare war on Hong Gang?"
"Brother Yin, no one is stopping you from leaving. It's just that this guy called Evil Eye must stay. I don't want someone who keeps saying they want to take down my boss living in this world," He Yunsong replied with a shrug.
Yin Jiu snorted coldly. "Evil Eye came with me. You expect me to leave him behind and escape alone? What would others think of me?"
"I don't care what others think of you; all I know is that today, this guy cannot leave." He Yunsong shot a glance at Yin Jiu and when he turned to look at Evil Eye, a glint of killing intent flashed in his eyes.
"You bastard! If you have the guts, take me out too! Let's see how long you can keep dancing!" Yin Jiu was furious at He Yunsong's attitude. He thought He Yunsong would be wary of Hong Gang's power and wouldn't dare act against him and Evil Eye.
Unfortunately, Yin Jiu underestimated the friendship between He Yunsong and Mo Ming. Not only did his provocation have no effect, but now He Yunsong was disregarding his threats and insisting on keeping Evil Eye. Yin Jiu couldn't help but feel anxious and angry.
"Yin Jiu, you can leave now," Evil Eye said calmly. "I'll handle things here. Just stop your incessant chatter; it's been a long time since I've had a good workout."
"Evil Eye, are you crazy? This is their territory! Do you really think they'll let you duel them one-on-one?" Yin Jiu was somewhat dumbfounded. He knew Evil Eye was capable but couldn't understand why he was being so reckless.
The so-called Double Fists are no match for Four Hands, not to mention that the people here are no ordinary thugs. Evil Eye actually said he wanted to stir things up here, clearly showing he was courting death. It didn't matter if he died, but Evil Eye came with him, and if anything happened to Evil Eye, Lord would surely be furious.
Just thinking about Lord's anger made Yin Jiu shiver.
"Stop talking nonsense and get lost," Evil Eye said with a zombie-like expression, staring intently at Mo Ming. "Shura, if it weren't for Lord's orders, I would have wanted to fight you long ago. Today is just right; you can join them!"
You can join them! This was a blatant provocation. What Evil Eye meant was that he didn't care if they all attacked him; in his eyes, they were nothing. This statement was utterly arrogant.
"Damn it, I need a whole group to take you down, half-blind? I can handle you alone!" Wu Yong, being a combative person, immediately wanted to strike back upon hearing Evil Eye's provocation.
Mo Ming reached out to stop him and smiled faintly at Evil Eye: "Today is a joyous day for Yun Song. I don't want you to dirty this place. Let's go outside; I'll take you on one-on-one. If you can defeat me, I'll let you leave safely."
"Boss, there's no need to waste so many words on this guy. Why not just take him out with a single shot? Keeping him alive will only bring trouble later!" He Yunsong knew that Evil Eye was a tricky character and didn’t care about any auspiciousness; he just couldn’t let Evil Eye leave alive.
Mo Ming waved his hand in refusal: "Today is your special day; we can't let blood ruin it. Besides, I want to fight him once. Don't worry; who wins or loses is still uncertain!"
Regarding this decision, Mo Ming had his own plans. Evil Eye was indeed a formidable opponent, but besides him, there was another man in the Dark Order named Overlord. Mo Ming intended to use this opportunity to gauge the strength of one of the two top experts of the Dark Order.
Moreover, it seemed that Mo Ming sensed something.
He Yunsong still felt a bit worried about letting the tiger return to the mountain, but since Mo Ming insisted, he could only agree with a nod: "Alright then, since you say so, I'll go along with it."
"Shura, you do seem like a man. However, you've made a mistake this time; I think you'll regret it," Evil Eye sneered. "You've missed a good opportunity to kill me. If we meet again in the future, I can assure you that you'll die by my hand."
Mo Ming remained noncommittal: "Ha, I've done many wrong things but have no regrets. Evil Eye, let's head to the rooftop. If you lose, just jump off the rooftop."
"And if you lose..."
Before Evil Eye could finish speaking, Mo Ming directly replied: "If I lose, I'll jump off the rooftop!"
"Don't!" Murong Lian exclaimed, her face pale. "Mo Ming, have you lost your mind? There's no need to gamble on these things. If you agree, he will definitely die."
Lin Yuan'er was also terrified and urged, "Brother Mo, don't gamble with him. I don't want anything to happen to you."
"Mo Ming, can't you consider our feelings?" Jun Qianqian was almost frantic.
Mo Ming turned around and smiled at Murong Lian and the others behind him. "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. Give your husband a little confidence, okay? Just think about it—when have I ever lost?"
"But..." Murong Lian wanted to argue but was interrupted by Mo Ming. "There's no 'but.' This matter is decided. This time, just consider it my impulsive act to defend a man's honor!"
Lin Yuan'er, Jun Qianqian, and Murong Lian knew that once Mo Ming made a decision, no amount of persuasion would work, so they stopped arguing. Murong Lian stared intently at Mo Ming and said, "You promise me you absolutely cannot get hurt!"
Mo Ming nodded and replied, "Okay, I promise I won't get hurt."
Originally, Poisonous Peak and the others also wanted to persuade Mo Ming, but since even Murong Lian's pleas were ineffective, they felt it would be useless for them to speak up as well. They chose to remain silent, all hoping that Mo Ming could defeat Evil Eye.
"Heh heh, Asura, I initially intended for us to die together. However, since you choose to fight me alone, I won't need to perish with you. You will die while I will live and leave!"
