Chapter 0331: The Army of the Supreme God

“The Army of the Supreme God!”
“And he’s even a squad leader!”
In the hall, all the god-tier powerhouses whispered among themselves, filled with awe.
In various divine realms, aside from peerless warriors, there were several other groups that should not be provoked: advanced beast masters, direct descendants of major families, and members of the Supreme God’s army!
Although the Supreme God’s army was under the control of the lords of various fiefs, it was ultimately subordinate to the Supreme God, who served as the enforcer in the divine realms. Even a low-ranking member of this army held a supreme status in the Netherworld. Provoking such a member meant provoking the entire army, and the consequences of that were terrifying.
The young man and woman—the man was a squad leader in the Supreme God’s army under the Taihua Fief on the Nyia Continent. His uniform as a squad leader stood out sharply in the hall, with a red badge on his left chest, radiating the power of the Supreme God. The woman wore the fourth-tier attire of the King of the Netherworld.
As the two arrived, a path opened up in the hall.
Under the awestruck gazes of everyone, Thomas led Perly proudly toward the hall’s service desk.
Huang Long frowned as he saw the two approaching.
“Friend, could I purchase this Green Dragon Villa from you?” Thomas asked after arriving, his tone polite yet firm, with a smile befitting one in a superior position.
“Sell it to you?” Huang Long looked at him.
“Yes. I’m willing to pay 250 billion divine stones,” Thomas said, smiling at Huang Long.
250 billion divine stones!
The god-tier powerhouses in the hall were shocked.
Just earlier, Huang Long had bought the Green Dragon Villa from the Commerce Exchange Hall for 235 billion. Now, Thomas was offering 250 billion to buy it—meaning Huang Long could earn an additional 150 billion divine stones with just one transaction!
150 billion was a sum that even lower or mid-tier gods could hardly earn in a lifetime.
The crowd in the hall stared at Huang Long with envy.
“I’m sorry, but I’m not short of divine stones,” Huang Long said, ignoring their envious expressions. The crowd was stunned; none expected him to refuse.
This was an opportunity too good to pass up—how could Huang Long refuse?
Moreover, the other party was a squad leader of the Supreme God’s army. Everyone thought Huang Long would definitely agree, as accepting would earn him a favor and 150 billion divine stones, while refusing would not only mean missing out on that amount but also offending him.

Thomas looked displeased. He hadn’t expected that even after offering 250 billion divine stones, the other party would ignore his status as a squad leader in the Main God Army and reject his offer, leaving him in an embarrassing position in front of his beloved woman. This time, upon hearing that the Azure Dragon Villa on Taihua Street was for sale, he became interested and promised to buy it for her to win her favor. Taihua Street was the most prosperous avenue in Taihua City, with each villa there being unmatched elsewhere, and it was rare to see any for sale. There were generally two reasons for houses to be put up for sale in the main city: either the original owner died while away, and after confirmation by the Business Exchange Hall, the house was resold, or the owner voluntarily asked the Business Exchange Hall to sell it. The original owner of the Azure Dragon Villa was a Level 6 Dark King warrior who died during a mission, which is why the villa was up for sale. Perley, who was beside Thomas, was also surprised and intrigued by Huang Long’s refusal. Since Huang Long could afford over 200 billion to buy the Azure Dragon Villa, he must have some significant status. She wondered what his identity could be to dare offend a squad leader in the Main God Army. Thomas, too, had a notable background—he was a member of the Mitchell family. Although the Mitchell family couldn’t compare to the Runing family, it was still a highly respected family in Taihua Prefecture, ranking among the top ten in terms of strength. Hearing Huang Long’s refusal, Thomas turned to see the expression on his beloved’s face but found Perley staring at Huang Long with interest, which made him even angrier. “Do you think it’s too little? Then I’ll offer 300 billion divine stones,” Thomas said, his expression darkening as he stared at Huang Long. Anyone could tell he was angry. 300 billion divine stones was no small amount, even for him. Aside from his status as a direct descendant of the Mitchell family, he only earned about 10 million divine stones per year as a squad leader in the Main God Army. 10 million—100 million in ten years, 300 million—that would take 30,000 years. Of course, 30,000 years was just a blink of an eye for them, but those 300 billion divine stones were hard-earned, and spending them all at once was painful. Seeing that the other party still wasn’t giving up, Huang Long shook his head. “I’ve said it— I’m not short of divine stones.” Divine stones? For Huang Long, the primordial beasts in the Ancient Forest were his divine stones. At his current hunting rate, he could earn 50 billion divine stones per year. He wasn’t short of divine stones, and with over 20 trillion in his divine card, he certainly didn’t lack places to spend them.

“I refuse.” Thomas looked gloomy.
Silence reigned in the hall as everyone watched Thomas and Yellow Dragon with an amused expression.
At that moment, Li Yifeng couldn’t hold back anymore and snapped angrily, “Damn it! Even my own brother can’t decide this. Get lost from here and stop acting like you’re better than us!”
Li Yifeng’s loud shout was harsh in the quiet hall. Everyone was stunned and stared at him in disbelief. After a pause, Thomas’s anger flared as he glared at Li Yifeng, “You dare tell me to get lost?!” With that, his aura surged, and the red badge on his uniform glowed blood-red, emitting pressure throughout the hall.
Seeing this, Li Yifeng instead laughed and looked at him teasingly, “What? Dare you hit me?”
Fighting inside the main city meant seeking death! Fighting in the Shangyi Hall meant inviting disaster!
No matter one’s status, breaking this rule meant a humiliating death—even if you were a captain of the Main God Army or a ninth-level ruler of the Underworld.
Even if you wanted to act recklessly, you had to know where.
Indeed, upon hearing Li Yifeng’s words, Thomas’s rising aura stopped instantly, though his expression grew even darker.
Perley then spoke up, “Thomas, forget it. Whether I buy the Green Dragon Villa or not, it doesn’t matter to me.” She also realized that Yellow Dragon and Li Yifeng seemed to be of high status and didn’t want to cause trouble over this.
How could someone who dared scold a captain of the Main God Army in front of everyone not have any status?!
Yet Perley’s words only angered Thomas further. It wasn’t just a matter of buying or not buying—it was about face. As a captain of the Main God Army, he had been rebuked in front of his beloved woman. If he remained indifferent now, where would his dignity lie in the future?
“Call your manager over,” Thomas said grimly, then turned to the green-haired woman at the service desk.
The green-haired woman hurriedly agreed and sent a message to the manager.
This involved a captain of the Main God Army—she couldn’t handle it.
Soon, an old man with white hair arrived. Upon seeing Thomas and Perley, he was surprised before smiling and saying, “Captain Thomas, Miss Perley, what brings you here?”
“Manager Yaheng, you’re just in time,” Thomas said. “I want to buy the Green Dragon Villa and give it to Perley.”

Ya Heng immediately smiled and said, “Only the Green Dragon Villa is worthy of Miss Perly’s status.” Then he turned to the green-haired woman at the counter and said, “Hurry up and handle the procedures for Lord Thomas.”

Clearly, Ya Heng, the manager of the Shangyi Hall, still didn’t know that the Green Dragon Villa had already been bought by Huang Long.

The green-haired woman looked embarrassed upon hearing this and said, “Sir Manager, the Green Dragon Villa was just bought by this gentleman.” She then glanced at Huang Long with her eyes.

She hadn’t expected such a situation either. If handled poorly, she might lose her position.

“What? It’s been bought?” Ya Heng was stunned. He then looked at Huang Long, his face showing distress. Only then did he understand why the green-haired woman had sent for him. When he first arrived and saw Thomas and Perly, he thought she was contacting him because of their status.

This situation was tricky.

Ya Heng knew well that if the Green Dragon Villa hadn’t been bought by someone else, it would have been fine. If both people wanted to buy it, he could have shown favor to Thomas. But now…

At that moment, Thomas noticed Ya Heng’s hesitation and said firmly, “I must buy this Green Dragon Villa.”

Ya Heng hesitated for a while before finally saying to Huang Long, “My friend, please, could you do Shangyi Hall a favor and resell this Green Dragon Villa to Captain Thomas? I’ll give you a Hall Member Card, allowing you to get a 10% discount on all purchases at Shangyi Hall in the future.”

With no other choice, Ya Heng had to step in.

It would have been fine if he hadn’t known about this, but now that he did, he naturally had to intervene.

“A Hall Member Card,” Huang Long smiled.

A Hall Member Card was indeed more useful than Thomas’s 300 billion divine stones, but Huang Long still shook his head. “Sorry, I don’t need it.”

Ya Heng was stunned, then frowned. “My friend refuses to do Shangyi Hall a favor?”

Li Yifeng suddenly spoke up, “What favor for Shangyi Hall? Stop talking nonsense. Can you really represent Shangyi Hall? Stop using Shangyi Hall to pressure others. My brother said, if he doesn’t want to sell, then he won’t sell.”

Ya Heng’s face turned ugly. But indeed, he couldn’t really represent Shangyi Hall. Usually, he would cite Shangyi Hall when dealing with problems, just as a pretext—after all, face was important, and it worked well. He never expected it to be ineffective now.

“Let’s go,” Huang Long said, not wanting to get entangled any longer. He then said to Li Yifeng and Sea God Apton before turning and leaving.

Yaheng saw that the other party didn’t take him seriously at all, and a hint of anger flashed across his face. Seeing Huang Long and the others turn to leave, Thomas grew anxious and snapped, “Kid, I guess you guys will always stay in Taihua City.”
