Chapter 167.2 Look After the Construction Site (2/2)
"You don't believe me? Humph!" The Snake King snorted.
He followed right behind Wang Ke; his massive, slithering body frightened many Wang Clan members.
"Wang Ke, what's happening? Why is this huge snake following you around? You also stopped me from going inside after the huge explosion. Did something happen?" Zhang Zhengdao wondered.
"Nope. I was entertaining a very important guest. I didn't want anyone to interrupt! I only allowed you guys in after the guest left!" Wang Ke explained.
"Very important guest? Who came and left? Are they very familiar with you? Who are they?" Zhang Zhengdao asked curiously.
"The Demon Sovereign!" Wang Ke explained.
"The Demon Sovereign? Heh, if you don't want to tell me, thats fine! You don't have to bluff! Why would you even need to? You really think I would believe it?" Zhang Zhengdao chuckled in disbelief.
Wang Ke was stunned. I'm telling the truth! Why would you not believe me?
He left Zhang Zhengdao there, while still wondering about the guest, then took the Snake King to the streets.
"Demonic beast! How dare you invade our Dragon Cultivation Town!" Tie Liuyuan's voice resounded immediately, rushing down from the sky.
Not only him; Zhao Si and other righteous disciples also showed up. They readied their weapons and were about to strike.
"Roar!"
The Snake King bellowed as though a massive battle was about to ensue.
Wang Ke shouted toward the sky, "Second senior apprentice-brother, Brother Zhao Si, don't worry. I'm the one who invited this demonic snake! Sorry for causing such a disturbance!"
The Snake King had a disdainful look. Wang Ke, do you really think they would stop because of what you said? Dream on!
"Wang Ke? You invited the snake here?" Tie Liuyun was surprised.
"Everyone, please disperse! It's all right! Brother Wang Ke brought the snake here. Itll be fine!" Zhao Si shouted.
Immediately afterthe tense righteous disciples started sheathing their weapons.
The Snake King: ".......................!"
Just like that? You won't fight me anymore?
"Wang Ke, is this the Snake King from Divine Dragon Island? Wasn't he going to eat you? Why is he following you now? What happened?" Tie Liuyun got down from his flying sword and asked.
The surrounding cultivators also looked at Wang Ke, wondering about the same thing.
"Oh, it has to do with my construction site. You guys should know that some guys went to cause trouble. The matters been settled, but things still go missing from time to time. That's why I got the Snake King to guard the construction site for me!" Wang Ke explained.
"You lost some things on the construction site, so you asked the Snake King to guard the place?" Tie Liuyuan widened his eyes in astonishment.
"Brother Wang, I remember that the snake wanted to gobble you up, back on Divine Dragon Island!" Zhang Si was also taken aback.
"Oh, thats in the past. The Snake King is actually quite generous; he agreed to guard the construction site without the slightest hesitation. He didn't even ask for a payment!" Wang Ke explained with a smile.
Tie Liuyun and Zhao Si: ".....................!"
The Snake King: ".......................!"
"Everyone, don't let this bother your own activities. Things are okay, and I'm going to show the Snake King around so he can get familiar with the place!" Wang Ke explained.
"Oh, sure!" Tie Liuyun and the others nodded with a weird look.
Zhang Zhengdao watched the entire scene unfold, Wang Ke bluffing his way around. And yet, he found himself powerless to expose him. Why?
And so, the young leader blatantly led the Snake King across the streets and headed to the construction site.
Even the Snake King was in a daze as they made their way over.
"Wang Ke? Why? Just now, you dismissed all those righteous fellows with a few lines. How is it that you can settle things with the demonic disciples with one sentence too? Don't they care? They ignore me just like that? Do they treat me like air? Why?!" The Snake King gasped in shock.
Every single time, the Snake King encountered fierce battles when venturing into the cultivation towns. So, things are fine just like that? Why!?
Zhang Zhengdao interjected, "Treat you like air? Do you know how much social capital Wang Ke used just now?"
The Snake King looked at Zhang Zhengdao and asked, "What do you mean?"
"Both the righteous and the demonic disciples ignore you because theyre giving face to Wang Ke! You are not the one they trust; Wang Ke is! Wang Ke used his good character... Ptooey! I mean he used his face to stop everyone's hostile moves against you!" Zhang Zhengdao explained.
"Wang Ke's face? Why? Isn't he a Branch Lord in the demonic sect? How is it that the righteous disciples show him respect too?" The Snake King was confused.
Zhang Zhengdao glanced at the Snake King. Youre asking me? Who can I ask, then? Even now, I don't understand how Wang Ke did it. He just ate, drank, and played Mahjong with them. And now, hes become too damn influential. Damn. This really freaks me out!
"Okay, enough talk. From now on, you will guard this construction site. Ill make sure that someone sends you food. Youre not allowed to scare the workers here!" said Wang Ke to the Snake King.
Many Innate Stage workers on the site were shivering in fear as they saw this exchange. After all, that was a thirty-meter-long snake that struck fear into their hearts. Fortunately, Wang Ke convinced them to not flee; however, some felt their knees give way.
"Youre really asking me to guard this... Construction site?" the Snake King asked angrily.
"Snake King, listen carefully. The Demon Sovereign is keeping an eye on you while hes in the Dragon Cultivation Town. If you dare disobey me!" Wang Ke threatened with a glare.
The Snake King immediately toned down his temper. Damn, you only know how to throw your weight around using the Demon Sovereign's title.
"Humph!" The Snake King snorted before coiling up his body in a shady area.
Damn it, I go with the flow and guard the place for the time being. Too bad I had no luck this time round!
Wang Ke made such an arrangement to have everyone keeping an eye on the serpent while it remained onsite. That way, he wouldnt need to worry about the reptile running amok. So many eyes are watching you; I bet you wouldnt dare eat Zhu Yan like this!
Wang Ke commanded his men, "Pass the instructions to the rest. Increase overtime and speed up the progress. We must seal the roof before the Dragon Gate Assembly!"
"Understood!" his men answered before quickly dispersing to inform all the workers.
The workers were bursting with productivity after panicking for a moment; after all, they were afraid too. In the past they could still slack from time to time, but now they couldnt; not with the gigantic snake watching them. No way we would dare to slack! I don't want to be eaten!
In an instant, the construction site's efficiency increased several fold.
