The Understated Dragon Lord
Chapter 872 Rescuing the Hostage

Daniel's words left Dog utterly stunned.

"You bastard, you actually know about Soul Takers?"

"Of course I do! Not only do I know them, but I'm also friends with them! The Soul Takers you summoned? They're my buddies. Whatever I tell them to do, they'll do it. If you don't believe me, let me show you!"

With a sweeping motion of his hand, Daniel called out to the charging Soul Takers. "Brothers, you're headed the wrong way! You shouldn't be coming after me; you're supposed to go to Dog! Look at all those souls beneath his backside! Hurry up and rush over there to devour them all!"

At Daniel's command, the Soul Takers immediately switched directions, diving toward Dog instead.

Like starving wild dogs, they began to feast on the souls beneath Dog's seat.

As Dog sat in mid-air atop the pillar made of souls that he had conjured, he felt it beginning to wobble and sway dangerously under the onslaught of the Soul Takers.

Seeing Dog tremble atop the shaky pillar, Daniel couldn't help himself. "How's it going, Dog? How's that ride treating you?"

"Bastard, you... you stop that!" Dog shouted, struggling to maintain his balance.

"Stop? I'm not doing anything!"

Daniel raised both hands innocently, grinning. "Look, my hands are right here! I haven't done a thing, so why tell me to stop?"

"You bastard, you need to tell those Soul Takers to stop! If they keep gnawing like this, they'll collapse my throne beneath me. If I fall, you will be held responsible for my

compensation! I expect damages for my injuries!"

"Dog, even though your name is Dog and you look quite like one, you can't just do that! Your throne isn't my doing; it's the Soul Takers who are chewing it down. And besides, you summoned these Soul Takers, not met So you're just stepping on your own toes here-what a mess!"

As soon as Daniel finished speaking, the throne was finally gnawed down by the Soul Takers.

Dog, perched on top, suddenly found himself tumbling down. He hit the ground with a thud, dazed and howling in distress.

"Ow! You bastard! You've done it

now! You've killed me! Don't you know anything about respecting your elders? You're such a

scoundrel! If you die, you won't net

qualify to descend to hell!

Frankly,

your soul is better suited for me to turn into an evil spirit!"

Just then, a light sparked in Dog's murky old eyes as he remembered something.

"You bastard, you came with the police! Are you here to help rescue the hostage?"
