Chapter 026: The Last Resort

The bat nodded and spoke in Dracula's voice, "Where is the magic lamp?"

Wang Bo said, "I will notify you in two days."

Dracula said discontentedly, "Why not tell me now?"

Wang Bo said with a straight face, uttering the most absurd words, "I still can't fully trust you."

Dracula let out a few cold laughs and did not argue with Wang Bo. There were still two days left; he could afford to wait. No matter what Wang Bo was plotting, he would not care.

He was determined to obtain the magic lamp.

……

The next day.

Wang Bo left Agrabah and entered the desert. The previous night, he had told Dracula that he would travel in the eight o'clock direction, believing Dracula would surely catch up.

Sure enough, that night, the moon rose high and the stars shone brightly. As the desert climate gradually turned cold, Wang Bo lit a campfire in the desert and ate the delicacies conjured by the gourmet tablecloth.

Suddenly, the sound of flapping wings came, and Wang Bo looked up to see Dracula descending from the sky.

He was dressed in a suit, looking extremely gentlemanly.

If he did not show his ferocious face, Dracula would undoubtedly be a noble gentleman of the utmost elegance.

In many worlds, vampires are a group of elegant dark nobles; even when sucking blood, they are extremely graceful. Only in a few worlds do vampires become utterly hideous.

Dracula, who had landed on the sofa, stood by the campfire, his handsome face flickering in the glow of the flames.

Wang Bo was eating with relish and had no time to pay him any attention.

"I discovered something very interesting when I left Agrabah." Dracula spoke with a smile, breaking the silence in the darkness, and said softly, "Anna is missing."

Wang Bo said, "I sent her to the Cave of Wonders."

Dracula was not surprised at all. "So, you intend to break the agreement."

"No," Wang Bo said. "I will tell you the location of the Miracle Treasure Cave, but only after the dragon has left the Miracle Treasure Cave."

"I see. You want Anna to get the magic lamp first."

"That's right." Wang Bo didn't expect his actions to escape Dracula's notice either.

But what did it matter if he knew? Anna was already gone, and Dracula had no way to catch up to her. He could only come to me, to get the location of the Cave of Wonders from my hands.

Dracula shot Wang Bo an extremely annoyed look and asked, "When do you plan to tell me the location of the divine lamp?"

"No rush." Wang Bo cut off a piece of steak, chewed it a few times, and said, "When the dragon leaves the Miracle Treasure Cave, I'll tell you the location of the divine lamp."

Dracula took a few deep breaths, suppressing the anger in his heart.

If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't beat Wang Bo, he would want to beat this guy to death right now.

How dare he toy with the great Dracula.

Dracula swore to himself that if he got the lamp, he would use its power to kill this fellow... no, if he killed him, he would not be able to return to his own world.

He decided to make this fellow his slave, then slowly torment him, making his life worse than death.

Wang Bo saw the malice in Dracula's eyes and sneered inwardly with disdain.

From start to finish, he had never been afraid of Dracula.

If this fellow really meant him harm, he would rather forfeit the reward and punch him to death with one blow.

The night passed quickly.

When the sun rose over the desert horizon, the once-cold air gradually warmed, and the temperature began to climb.

Dracula found a place to hide; he could not move about during the day.

Wang Bo couldn't be bothered to run anymore; this place was far enough from Agrabah.

He decided to wait here for the dragon's arrival.

Today was the last day of the agreement. Wang Bo took out a large pile of gold from his fourth-dimensional pocket, wrapped it in a bundle, and silently waited for the dragon's arrival.

Time passed bit by bit; morning went by, noon went by, and once again it was evening.

Only a few hours remained until the final deadline, yet Wang Bo still stayed here, motionless.

Dracula appeared again and demanded, "When do you plan to tell him the location of the magic lamp?"

He was almost out of patience.

At that moment, the dragon pattern on Wang Bo's palm suddenly emitted a faint glow, flickering on and off as if reminding Wang Bo that the final deadline was approaching.

Wang Bo remained unmoved, as if he had seen nothing.

He said to Dracula with a smile, “Don’t worry, I’ll tell you the location of the Miracle Cave soon, but you need to be patient. If the dragon hasn’t left the cave and you go there now, you might run into it and get crushed under its claws.”

Dracula said disdainfully, "Then why aren't you afraid of Anna being swatted to death by the dragon's claw?"

Wang Bo said with a smile, “That’s of course because Anna is a human, while you are a vampire. What if the dragon takes a disliking to vampires? If you die, how would I complete my work?”

Dracula said coldly, "If the dragon moves during the day, even if you tell me its location, I won't be able to act. So now you must tell me where the magic lamp is, or else our agreement is null and void."

Wang Bo, seeing that Dracula had reached his limit, asked with a smile, "If I said I wanted to break our agreement, what would you do?"

Dracula: ...

He suppressed his mounting anger and said, “I will turn Agrabah into a dead city—I mean what I say. Though you are stronger than me, you cannot stop me.”

Wang Bo said, "Fine, I'll tell you then."

He pointed in a direction and said, "It's this way. Keep walking straight ahead, don't look back, and eventually you'll see a cave entrance shaped like a lion's head. That is the Cave of Wonders, and the lamp is inside it. However, only the chosen one can enter the Cave of Wonders."

"Aladdin," said Dracula.

"That's right."

"In that case, why did you let Anna reach the cave first? She can't be the chosen one, can she?" Neither Dracula nor Anna were from this world, so how could they be the chosen ones?

Wang Bo said, "The so-called chosen one is merely a person whose soul is as pure as a gem. Only such a person can pass the trial and obtain the magic lamp. I believe Anna is qualified to obtain the magic lamp."

Dracula said disdainfully, "What if she can't get it?"

Wang Bo said, "Don't we still have you?"

Dracula: ...

He now understood that this bastard had treated him as a last resort.

This discovery infuriated Dracula, but it also proved from another angle that Wang Bo had not deceived him.
