2343 It Was Time to Flex! Mountain Ridge Source and Carnage Source sat toward the back and did not have speaking authority, but Hornless Dragon Source, who occupied the third seat, definitely did. However, he maintained his silence. Lin Yuan knew that if he did not flex his abilities while he was being suspected, he would not only be underestimated but maybe even suppressed. Thus, it was time for him to flex! Green Vine’s Entire Body Medium, Lin Yuan’s safety net, was the only thing he had that could stand toe-to-toe against the Dictators in the tent. He would never use it unless he had absolutely no choice! Moreover, using Entire Body Medium came at a much too high a cost. Lin Yuan did not know when he would be able to find something else that was similar to the dark gold snake scale, so he could not rely on himself to flex but on other Dictators. Lin Yuan turned his gaze onto Evil Source. The fact that Evil Source had come to greet him meant that she held no sway in this tent. Lin Yuan had not been acquainted with Evil Source for long, but this short period was enough for him to get a good sense of her character. He had defeated Evil Source, won the Green Field Secret Treasure from her, and accepted Pregnant Poison’s loyalty. All of these were hits to Evil Source’s pride. Yet, she was still able to bring herself to get close to him and even wanted to work with him. This showed that she was the type to be able to endure humiliation for the sake of a higher cause! If one who could endure humiliation for the sake of a higher cause had the chance to rise up, they would definitely get their revenge for all the humiliation they suffered! As such, Lin Yuan was willing to give Evil Source the chance to rise up before he used her as his sword. There were eight chairs in the tent. The fourth ones on the left and right sides were empty. This meant that the seventh and eighth seats were empty. It was clear that these two seats were left for him and Evil Source. Lin Yuan did not need to try and find a reason to cause trouble. The seat they had assigned to him for his first meeting was reason enough. There was no way that the other six Dictators who were present did not know. But since they did not act, it meant that they were waiting for him to make his move. Seeing was believing. Carnage Source, Hornless Dragon Source, and Mountain Ridge Source had seen his abilities but had yet to experience them! “Evil Source, it looks like we’re seated right at the back. If we have to sit at the back, we might as well not sit at all or snatch the seats we deserve!” Lin Yuan’s words stunned Evil Source. When Lin Yuan used the word ‘us’, Evil Source knew that Lin Yuan was about to place both of them on the same side! This both excited and delighted her. Firstly, she was in a weak position and did not have much speaking authority among the seven of them. Evil Source felt pricked by being seated right at the end. Now that Lin Yuan wanted to snatch their rightful seats back and she had someone to rely on, she could do everything that she had been holding back from doing! Evil Source turned her head until the female side was forward facing and said in a chilling voice, “Ten Thousand Source, I was already planning to do so!” Evil Source had planned her scheme in great detail. Firstly, she could be certain that even if Eternal Source, Mist Source, or Vine Source managed to defeat her and Lin Yuan, they could not do anything to them because no one would be willing to risk death just to fight for seats. Even if Evil Source had not lost the Green Field Secret Treasure, she would end up grievously injured to the point that it would take more than thousands of years to recover and maybe even never return to her peak condition if she took on Carnage Source seriously. There was no way that Eternal Source, Mist Source, and Vine Source would do something that even she would not do. Hornless Dragon Source, Mountain Ridge Source, and Carnage Source had already joined Lin Yuan’s alliance. If a conflict broke out, the three of them might not side with Eternal Source and the rest! Even Vine Source, who was hostile toward Lin Yuan, was also stunned! It was true that Vine Source wanted to come off as imposing, as per his discussion with Eternal Source and Mist Source. He had also hinted to the rest in the beginning, and none of them expressed any hint of opposition. However, Vine Source did not expect Lin Yuan to be so tough and to refuse to take even the smallest step backward. As a result, those who were trying to perform pressure techniques from the shadows had no choice but to bring them all out into the open! Eternal Source and Mist Source started to assess Lin Yuan all over again. Ever since they found out that lifeforms from another world could invade their world, they had suspected Lin Yuan’s identity more than once. The time in the marsh world was calculated in centuries. Dictators had a very long lifespan. Things that happened in centuries seemed like months. Lin Yuan had appeared out of nowhere and established himself in the marsh world in such a short span of time. The overlap of the two incidents was much too coincidental! This was why such a situation of daggers being possibly drawn at any moment arose. The one in the tent feeling the most awkward was not Eternal Source, Vine Source, and Mist Source but Dictator Hornless Dragon Source! Mountain Ridge Source and Carnage Source sat on the third seat to the left and the third seat to the right. Thus, they were considered fifth and sixth! Given their positions, they did not have much speaking authority and could not give much effective input. Yet, he joined Lin Yuan’s alliance and even traded with him despite sitting in the third seat. He had even made great efforts to join the alliance and see the trade through. With things the way they were, he could not be feeling more awkward! He was so awkward that he could not continue looking at Lin Yuan. Hornless Dragon Source had prepared the Apostles he intended to send to the Marsh East Palace. But given the circumstances, he would be a disloyal cad who had betrayed the alliance. Was Lin Yuan really going to permit the trade? Hornless Dragon Source thought that with Vine Source trying to needle Lin Yuan with the support of the other six, Lin Yuan would down any protest or at least keep it to the extent of a sour expression. Yet, Lin Yuan had up and gone to flip the table over! This was not surprising as Lin Yuan was the one who had offered the big and small source fruits as betting stakes in the face of Evil Source’s provocation! Hornless Dragon Source looked at Mountain Ridge Source and Carnage Source. Hornless Dragon Source noticed that Mountain Ridge Source and Carnage Source’s expressions were not any better than his own, and they were also currently looking at him. When the three of their gazes met, Mountain Ridge Source and Carnage Source looked at Hornless Dragon Source questioningly as though they were waiting for him to give his opinion. Their questioning eyes caused Hornless Dragon Source’s jaw to drop slightly. It was not that easy to give an opinion on such a matter!
