My Summons Are All Gods

Chapter 280: You’re Too Late

When Ike heard the conversation between the Jim brothers, he knew something was wrong. When he was about to explain, he heard Jerry continued.

“Back then, we met Mr. Ike in the maze, and he didn’t say anything. He even said that he wanted to keep the sisters.”

Feeling the killing intent in the eyes of the Jim brothers, Ike couldn’t help and rebutted, “Don’t talk nonsense. When did I mention that I wanted to keep the sisters?”

“Oh! I was wrong. There was a cave when you first arrived, but you refused to let us in. You only allowed the sisters to rest in that cave. That was it.” Jerry pretended to be innocent.

Hearing this, the Jim brothers didn’t know what was Ike’s plan at that time. They occupied the cave and allowed the two sisters to rest inside. How could they not know what they were doing?

Ike panicked and stressed, “Nonsense, the sisters didn’t enter the cave and you tricked me. I almost lost my life in the cave because of the waders.”

Thinking of this, Ike became furious. He gritted his teeth and vented, “Do you know how many of my subordinates died in that cave? If it wasn’t for you, I wouldn’t be in this state.”

“You were wrong. We were refused entry into the cave. How could you say that I tricked you? I have no idea what was in the cave. Moreover, you blocked the entrance of the cave after you entered. We had no idea what happened inside. We couldn’t save you even if we wanted!”

Listening to Jerry, Ike was at a loss for words. For a moment, he didn’t know how to refute.

Even though he didn’t answer, Jerry continued.

“Besides, how are you now? Aren’t you fine? Or are you in a bad situation?”

As soon as Jerry finished his sentence, Ike shivered. If he admitted, he would be admitting that he was in a bad situation in front of Lu Zian’s subordinates?

Then he would be courting death!

“Don’t be ridiculous, I’m in a good situation.” Ike retorted.

Looking at Ike, the Jim brothers could guess who was telling the truth, but it didn’t matter now.

“Now that you know, if you want to show your sincerity, hand over the sisters!” Boris did not want to waste any more time. To these cultivators, every single second was extremely precious.

At this moment, the two figures at the back door of the great hall froze when they heard this. They were the Crona sisters who had returned from the Godly Palace.

They knew that that the guests Jerry had mentioned weren’t friendly. It was likely that they were sent by the Divine Spear Dynasty, the ones who had threatened them.

Crona was worried that Jerry did not know how powerful the Divine Spear Dynasty was and would be at a disadvantage if they underestimated the enemy. The sisters were the cause of the problem. That was why they sneaked back to help.

As they reached the entrance of the hall, they overheard the Jim brothers demanded Jerry hand them over.

The two of them were stunned and stopped in their tracks. They wanted to know what Jerry would do.

For now, Jerry left a good impression on Crona. Not only did he not force her to do anything, but he also gave her sufficient freedom.

However, that was when she was not in a critical situation. She did not know what would happen if she was forced to do something, just like the current situation.

“Well…” Jerry looked troubled.

“Do you want to go against Lord Lu Zian?” Eric had a bad temper. After knowing Jerry’s strength and his polite appearance, he had already listed Jerry as someone who was on the same level as Ike.

At most, he was just a little stronger than Ike.

“What happened in the past would be attributed to you not knowing, but now that you knew, it would be inappropriate to keep them! Let’s not make things difficult for the both of us,” Boris advised half-threateningly.

“Of course, I would not make things difficult for you.”

Hearing Jerry’s answer, Crona’s heart sank. She didn’t expect this. Now, she didn’t have any bargaining chips. It could be said that she was just Jerry’s subordinate. Once she was handed over to Lu Zian, the fragments of the Empire Era that she controlled would belong to Jerry, including the Holy Dynasty that she controlled.

In fact, anyone would be able to make a good judgment. If the two of them were handed over, one could completely control a Holy Dynasty, and they would also obtain a powerful ally. On the contrary, if they were forced to protect the two of them, they would have to worry about the risk of their betrayal.

The most important thing was that this would offend the Divine Spear Dynasty. They had just arrived at the second level of the endless tower, and they had already offended a powerful opponent. There was no doubt that this was an absolutely irrational thing to do.

Anyone with a bit of brains would know what to do.

“What should we do? I knew that men were unreliable!” Crane held Crona’s arm tightly. If they fell into the hands of Lu Zian, the sisters would definitely end up in a terrible state.

“Don’t panic!” Although she said that, Crona was no longer confident.

“However, this seemed to be difficult.” Jerry’s expression turned ugly. “The problem is, you’re late.”

“Late?” The Jim brothers were puzzled. They learned that Jerry had entered the second floor of the endless tower and rushed over. How could they be late? Thinking of this, the two looked at Ike in confusion.

“I swear, I obeyed Lord Lu Zian. Once I found his tracks, I immediately reported to Lord Lu Zian.” Ike shook his head repeatedly.

Hearing their conversation, Jerry knew what was going on. No wonder these people came to him as soon as he arrived at the second floor of the endless tower. They had been watching him for a long time.

Thinking of this, Jerry rolled his eyes and said, “In fact, I have just arrived at the second floor of the endless tower. Look, there was no one in the hall, and I haven’t had time to prepare anything.”

“Then why did you say you were late?”

“Well, Mr. Ike should know that I have already passed through all the maze on the first floor of the endless tower. I would have come to the second floor of the endless tower a long time ago. But why did I wait until now? Do you know why?”

“Why?” Eric asked cooperatively.

“Because of the wedding. In fact, I’ve been busy with the wedding for the past few days.”

“That’s right, it’s the wedding of the Crona sisters. That’s why I said you’re late.”
