Rebirth: Pampered by the Lord-Chapter 2047: Weirdo

"What did you say?" Lin Kong pressed his foot down harder.

"Ah...! It hurts, Master, spare me! We did not recognize your greatness and offended you." At this moment, the bandit leader wished he could die. Usually, he bullied others with no qualms, but now that the tables were turned, he found it truly unbearable.

Lin Kong had been searching the forest all day for Celestial Master Zhang without success. Frustrated, he encountered the bandits, which angered him even more. He picked up the leader with one hand and asked, "Have you seen an old man? Around fifty years old?"

"Wha... what... what old man?" The bandit leader, lifted off the ground with his feet dangling, was terrified and stammered nervously.

Lin Kong tightened his grip, pulling him closer, glaring fiercely with every word: "I’ll ask again. Answer poorly, and you can forget about keeping your life."

The bandit leader was so scared he started crying, "Master, just ask! I’ll tell you everything I know without reserve."

Lin Kong: "Have you caught an old man in the mountain stronghold recently?"

The bandit leader trembled all over and quickly shook his head, "N... no."

"Is that true or not?"

"Tru... tru... tru... truly." 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

"Hmph!"

Lin Kong released his hold, and the bandit leader fell to the ground, rolling over in pain. Despite the ache in his body, he secretly sighed in relief, feeling he’d escaped from the clutches of doom and edged a bit further from the grim reaper.

"I ask you, besides you bandits, is there anyone else nearby?"

"No, no one."

"Really? Think carefully before you answer."

Upon hearing this, the bandit leader thought hard again, looking hesitant, as if he wanted to say something but was afraid to speak.

"What is it? Is there or isn’t there?"

"There is, there is... oh... n... no... no, no." The bandit leader shook his head one moment and nodded the next.

Lin Kong grew impatient and shouted, "Answer or your life is forfeit."

"There is, there is," the bandit leader said with a tearful face, "Master, I’m not sure, but do you mean that person was captured by the Weirdo?"

"What Weirdo, where is he?"

"To the east, it takes about two hours to get there. A Weirdo lives there, quite formidable! He controls the Wolves Pack, and anyone who dares venture there is consumed by wolves in an instant. No one who has accidentally entered has ever come back alive. We usually don’t dare to go." As he spoke, the bandit leader raised his arm to point east, looking extremely frightened, as if the Weirdo terrified him.

"Weirdo? What kind of Weirdo!"

"I don’t know either, Master. He was already in this forest when I got here."

"If he’s so powerful, how do you manage to live so well?"

"That Weirdo is strange, too. As long as we don’t trespass into his territory, he generally doesn’t harm people."

"Oh, then I must see for myself what makes this Weirdo so formidable." Lin Kong decided to go to the Weirdo’s place to search for Celestial Master Zhang.

"Master, please don’t! That Weirdo is very powerful."

"I need to find someone, you will guide me."

"What? Master, spare me, I don’t dare go. I won’t survive the trip."

"Are you more afraid of the Weirdo or of me? Believe me, I can end you right now."

"Oh, no, no, I’ll go, can’t I go?" The bandit leader wanted to slap himself. Why didn’t he keep his mouth shut about the Weirdo? Wasn’t this digging his own grave?

"That’s more like it. Get up and lead the way."

"Yes! Right away!" Even though he was scared to death, the bandit leader obediently got up from the ground and led Lin Kong on their way.
