Chapter 434: Chapter434-The T8 Treasure
However, none of that truly mattered.
Regardless of where Daniel came from, it made little difference.
Within the Flying Fish Universe, strength was all that mattered. No one cared where a powerful expert had originated.
For example, the Heaven-Equaling Universe was still at war with the native factions of the Chaosverse, and the conflict had yet to end.
According to what they had heard, the native factions of the Chaosverse did not inherently despise the Heaven-Equaling Universe.
Rather, the Heaven-Equaling Universe had taken the initiative to infringe upon their interests.
As for whether the Heaven-Equaling Universe possessed backing from another universe, the natives of the Chaosverse did not care in the slightest.
Strictly speaking, even the Chaos Humans were outsiders.
That could be considered one of the defining characteristics of the Chaosverse.
Countless foreign races had settled there, yet its inhabitants could still somehow find the time to wage civil wars among themselves.
The Myriad-Star Cosmos was completely different.
It was an ancient and renowned universe filled with innumerable factions whose relationships were deeply intertwined.
Nearly every power had developed locally over countless years.
Whenever an outsider invaded, the native factions would immediately unite against the common enemy.
This was entirely different from the Chaosverse.
"Daniel, do you dare tell me where you truly come from?"
Logan stared directly at the young man before him and asked in a deep voice.
Daniel merely glanced at him before smiling disdainfully.
"And what exactly are you?"
"Why should I tell you anything?"
Logan’s expression instantly turned ashen upon hearing those incomparably arrogant words.
He had never imagined that Daniel would humiliate him so openly in front of everyone.
No matter what, Logan was still a veteran Oracle-grade Grand Elder of Mistral Manor.
Even if he was weaker than Daniel, shouldn’t Daniel at least show him a little respect?
Instead, Daniel had slapped him in the face without mercy, giving Logan no time to prepare himself mentally.
"You’ve gone too far!"
Logan flew into a rage.
A terrifying aura erupted from his body as he prepared to attack.
At that moment, an Oracle-grade expert dressed in pale blue suddenly spoke from beside him.
"Logan, hold your hand for now."
Logan turned toward him sharply.
"You intend to stop me?"
The blue-robed Oracle-grade expert replied calmly,
"Have you forgotten why we came out here?"
"Wasn’t our purpose to negotiate with Faustus?"
"If you attack him now, you will personally destroy the final possibility of peaceful negotiations."
"We will lose any moral ground we might have possessed."
"If the mission fails, you can explain it to our superiors yourself."
Clearly, this blue-robed Oracle-grade expert was not a member of Mistral Manor.
He was most likely an envoy dispatched by one of the top powers.
Logan’s face twisted with fury.
"Explain?"
"Does Mistral Manor not deserve an explanation as well?"
"Have you forgotten that I am the Grand Elder of the manor?"
"Faustus has humiliated me to this extent. There is no longer any need to negotiate!"
"Join forces with me and bury this entire fleet here!"
Displeasure immediately appeared on the blue-robed Oracle-grade expert’s face.
"Heh. You seem to have forgotten that the Everlight Order has not officially accepted the Flying Fish Plane into its territory."
"Until Mistral Manor formally joins the Everlight Order, I will not interfere in any conflict between you and Faustus."
"Logan, I advise you to think carefully before acting."
Behind him, an Oracle-grade expert dressed in black immediately added,
"He is correct."
"Silvercrown Fortress must also see what attitude Mistral Manor intends to take before we act."
The white-robed Oracle-grade expert standing nearby spoke indifferently as well.
"The Carefree Divine Temple shares the same position."
"You should first declare which side you intend to join. Only then will we have grounds to intervene in the internal conflict of the Flying Fish Star System."
After hearing the envoys from the three top powers speak, Logan became even more furious.
He cursed these sanctimonious hypocrites repeatedly in his heart.
They were clearly taking advantage of Mistral Manor’s crisis to extort greater benefits!
Unfortunately, there was nothing he could do.
The three factions before him were now the only source of confidence Mistral Manor possessed.
After venting his anger, Logan could only swing his sleeve and transform into a streak of light, retreating into the Flying Fish Plane.
Before leaving, he threw down one final sentence.
"Since all of you are so fond of negotiations, you can negotiate with him yourselves!"
"I refuse to remain here and endure further humiliation!"
Watching Logan disappear, Daniel could not help finding the situation amusing.
He had never expected that a single sentence would be enough to anger a fifth-stage Oracle-grade expert into fleeing.
The representatives of the three great factions also realized for the first time just how difficult Daniel was to deal with.
He had completely overturned their previous understanding of powerful experts.
They had never encountered such an arrogant Oracle-grade expert before.
This man was definitely not someone who could be handled easily.
With that thought in mind, the Oracle-grade envoys of the three factions exchanged knowing glances.
In the end, the blue-robed Oracle-grade expert from the Everlight Order was the first to speak.
"Ahem. Since I am the eldest among us, allow me to negotiate with him first."
The representatives of the Carefree Divine Temple and Silvercrown Fortress nodded simultaneously.
"Very well."
"Agreed."
The Everlight Order’s Oracle-grade expert immediately flickered and appeared before Daniel.
He raised his voice.
"Faustus, I am a representative of the Everlight Order."
"Let me ask you this—what exactly have you come here to accomplish?"
Daniel glanced at him before finally answering.
"What else could it be?"
"I intend to destroy Mistral Manor."
The Oracle-grade representatives of all three factions raised their eyes at the same time.
Shock and excitement could not be concealed within their gazes.
Although they had already anticipated Daniel’s objective, they had never expected him to be arrogant enough to state his intentions so openly.
The representative of the Everlight Order frowned.
"For the sake of the Everlight Order, could you temporarily halt your campaign?"
"There is no need to force Mistral Manor into a desperate situation."
Daniel rejected him without the slightest hesitation.
"Impossible."
"How much influence do you think the Everlight Order possesses?"
"You believe your name alone is enough to stop me?"
The representative’s expression immediately became ugly.
He had never imagined that Faustus would be so completely unwilling to compromise.
The Everlight Order had offered him a way to preserve his dignity, yet he had refused to accept it.
"In that case, the Everlight Order will have no choice but to intervene in this matter."
His words carried an unmistakable threat.
Daniel remained completely unconcerned.
He waved his hand arrogantly.
"And what exactly are you supposed to be?"
"You think you are worthy of standing in my way?"
"What?!"
The expressions of all three Oracle-grade representatives changed drastically.
This madman did not even place their three great factions in his eyes!
Only now did they finally understand why Logan had become so furious.
Being treated with contempt by such an arrogant bastard truly was infuriating.
Worse still, Daniel did not merely possess a vicious tongue.
He also possessed overwhelming strength.
The faces of all three representatives turned livid with rage.
