"You want me to eat him?" Han Sen asked in shock.
"Yes. He is the most nutritious food here. Don't you like the taste?
That's fine. You can choose whatever you like. You can eat whatever you like, "the phoenix said.
The faces of Elder Nader and the others changed. They couldn't believe what they were seeing. They were all trapped here, and they had been reduced to food. Dollar, on the other hand, had been invited to eat with the phoenix. And he was allowed to eat until he was full.
Han Sen didn't know why the phoenix was treating him differently, but he knew he was safe now.
"Are you going to give them to me?" Han Sen asked, pointing at Elder Nader and the others.
"Of course, if you like," the phoenix said with a smile.
It was like a mother who loved her child. It was hard to imagine that it had just toyed with people like that. It had turned Kings and deifieds into dust.
"Can I decide what to do with them?
I mean, if I don't want to eat them, can I let them go? "Han Sen asked.
"Of course. As long as you like them," the phoenix said.
"Then let them go," Han Sen said, pointing at Dragon One and Bao Lian.
When the phoenix heard what Han Sen had to say, it didn't do anything. But Bao Lian and Dragon One, who had been pinned to the ground, suddenly felt the pressure disappear.
"Brother Dollar, thank you so much."
Dragon One looked at Han Sen strangely. Then, he flew away. He didn't dare stay there any longer.
"I will pay you back for what you did today," Bao Lian said, and then he left with Dragon One.
Han Sen only wanted to save Dragon One, but after a moment of hesitation, he decided to save Bao Lian as well. He wanted to defeat Bao Lian with his own hands, so he didn't want to kill him.
"Mister Dollar, help!" Many of the elites trapped on the wooden planks saw that the phoenix had listened to Dollar and let Bao Lian and Dragon One go. They were both shocked and happy. A few Kings couldn't help but ask Han Sen for help.
"Can I really do whatever I want to them?" Han Sen looked at the divine bird with uncertainty.
"Of course, they already belong to you," the Divine Phoenix said with a smile.
Han Sen narrowed his eyes as he sized up Elder Nader and the others. However, he didn't say anything, causing everyone's hearts to skip a beat.
"Mister Dollar, please be merciful and let us live. I have a family to feed." A King from a small race begged.
"I am neither your relative nor your partner. Why should I save you?" Han Sen looked at the King and said indifferently.
The King quickly said, "I have many treasures and xenogeneic genes. I can give them all to you, Mister Dollar. If you let me live, I will be forever grateful."
"You were willing to do this. I didn't force you." Han Sen blinked and said.
"No, no. I was willing to do this. It is all thanks to you that I am alive. I will be forever grateful," the King quickly said.
"Mister Dollar, I am willing to give you all my treasures and xenogeneic genes."
"Mister Dollar, please take mine first."
Suddenly, many Kings were offering up their treasures in hopes that Han Sen would let them live.
"If you are all so kind, then I can't reject you."
Han Sen looked reluctant. He quickly collected the treasures and xenogeneic genes of the Kings. Then, he asked the phoenix to release them.
The Kings were overjoyed, and after thanking Han Sen, they all left in a hurry.
"Mister Dollar, this is all I have. Is it enough to buy my life?" Barr asked.
Barr didn't have much savings. All he had was a deified sawtooth knife, and it was only primitive class.
"If you are so kind, then I will accept it."
Han Sen didn't hesitate. He took Barr's sawtooth knife. The god bird cooperated and removed the branches that bound Barr.
A few of the deified elites saw Barr use a deified treasure to trade for his life, so they followed suit. They all wanted to use a deified treasure to trade for their own lives.
Han Sen looked at them with a smile that wasn't a smile. "Barr and his brother, Dia Robber, are my regular customers. That is why I am treating you so well. If you want to trade for your life, one deified treasure isn't enough."
The faces of the deified elites suddenly changed. That was especially true of Elder Nader. His face kept changing colors, turning green and then turning white.
He had said Dollar was useless, so he refused to team up with him. He hadn't expected Dollar to fall into Han Sen's hands so quickly. Now, he wasn't even going to get a 50/50 split. He was going to lose his entire fortune.
After seeing Han Sen extort the deified elites, Elder Nader's impression of Han Sen was that he was greedy.
"This guy is greedy. It is no wonder his name is Dollar."
Just like Elder Nader, the other deified elites had been extorted by Han Sen. Now, they were starting to understand the nature of Han Sen's character.
But having their entire family taken away was better than dying there. Although it hurt, the deified elites were willing to pay up quickly. They didn't try to bargain with Han Sen.
Not long after, Han Sen's net worth skyrocketed. The elites that were trapped on the wooden planks were released one by one. Only Elder Nader was left, and he hadn't spoken yet.
Elder Nader couldn't bring himself to do this. His face turned green and red, but he didn't say a word.
"I don't believe you will eat me if you release the elites of every race," Elder Nader thought to himself.
"If you eat me in front of all these elites, you will be making an enemy of the Destroyed." Elder Nader still didn't say a word.
"Mister Phoenix, thank you for your kindness. What's left is useless to me, so I will return it to you." Han Sen bowed to the phoenix.
Elder Nader was shocked, but before he could say anything, the phoenix opened its mouth and sucked. Elder Nader was sucked into the air and turned into dust.
Everyone was shocked. A transmutation deified had just been sucked away like that. They were glad that they had reacted quickly. If they hadn't, they would have ended up like Nader.
"Elder Nader has been living a peaceful life for too long. He has forgotten the evils of the universe. Now that things have come to this, he still wants to save face."
Barr was bold, but he couldn't help but smile wryly. The Destroyed were strong, but they didn't have many deified elites. Losing a transmutation class Nader was a huge blow to the Destroyed.
But Elder Nader had been famous for a long time. He had spent the past few hundred years teaching the younger generation. He hadn't fought in the universe, and he wasn't used to the cruelty of the universe. He cared too much about his face and reputation.
After everyone left, Han Sen bowed to the god phoenix and said, "Thank you for your help, Mister. If you ever need me, I will do my best. If there is nothing else, I will be on my way."
After Han Sen finished speaking, the phoenix picked him up with its beak. It flapped its wings and flew deep into the xenogeneic space.
