Clear up above the sky, a full battalion was there with their faces chinned up. They were filled with pride as they hold their weapons and was battle-ready to annihilate anyone in their path. But the army wasn't what captivating there the most, it was the young man in front of them. He was holding a fan and looking down at the world with eyes filled with contempt.
"Schwal, it seems that letting you out makes you so complacent that you even dared to defy my orders." The handsome young man with a white knight armor smiled, "However, I am a forgiving Young Master. Return with me and everything will be settled."
"Prisyan, I told you that you don't own me. I tagged along with you because it's beneficial for me. Now that there is no longer benefit for me, so I have no reason to stay by your side." Schwal Coffin said, "You have benefitted and I benefitted, we had an equal exchange and things must come to an end by that time already."
"I am the sole Young Master of the Devil Clan, who will dare to defy me?" Prisyan wasn't annoyed by Schwal's words. In fact, he seemed to be having fun. The more she resisted, the more he would want her more.
"Prisyan, have you forgotten? Your clan is going downhill now that you've lost so may people especially your father during the expedition to attack another universe." Schwal Coffin accurately attacked the deepest and worst wound Prisyan had. To make this man mad and lost his composure, she needed to attack where it most hurt.
Unfortunately, there was no irritation or madness appeared in Prisyan's face. In fact, he was still beaming with a smile and said, "If you think of angering me by that, it's no longer effective. While I agree with you that my clan went downhill, now that my forefather has returned, vitalizing the clan will be assured. Thus, you can say that we will rise once again."
"What?" Schwal Coffin didn't expect the rumor to be true. The forefather was someone who had lived since time immemorial, and that was billions of years ago. How could he possibly still alive? But the Prisyan had no reason to lie. After all, it wouldn't benefit him one way or another.
Jin Rou had no reaction about this. After all, he clearly knew who was the young master talking about. Nevertheless, he was out of this issue, so he wanted Schwal Coffin to deal with this as soon as possible.
"You heard it right." Prisyan smiled with pride and said, "Though it was really unfortunate that my father has died during the expedition, since our forefather has returned, then we can be assured that the clan will rise once again. So I can assure you now, that when you return with me, the resources for you will be tripled if not doubled."
It was a tempting offer. For a treasure like Schwal, she needed tons of resources in order to get stronger. Now that Prisyan was assuring her that the resources for her would be doubled or tripled, how could she possibly outright reject it?
True enough. Schwal Coffin couldn't help but contemplating about the offer. She knew the young master well. He wouldn't say words unless he was capable of it, and he always stayed true to his words. Thus, the offer must be real, which made her think twice.
Jin Rou looked at the hesitating treasure and chuckled, "If you think it will be more beneficial to you, just come with them. I already know the details, so it will not be difficult for me to find the right place."
Prisyan looked at Jin Rou and knit his brows. He particularly didn't care about this man, but he was feeling some sort of jealousy.
Schwal Coffin looked at Jin Rou. She shook her head and said, "Young Master Prisyan, I'm sorry but I don't want to return."
The treasure just went along with the voice inside her head that kept on saying that she should stay by Jin Rou's side. Furthermore, the voice said that she might find out her origins if she followed him, thus leading her into deciding it this way.
Jin Rou smiled at her response. It looked like she was still decisive enough to know what should be followed.
"Schwal, do you know what you are trying to lose?" The young master was a bit angered, "A million worth of resources. Normal beings can't accumulate that kind of amount and yet I'm just giving it to you to be stronger. If you don't take it, aren't you afraid that someone might take your place?"
"You mean another Coffin? It's fine." Schwal Coffin smiled and turned her back, "I'm a very busy person nowadays, so I don't have that much time to accommodate you, Young Master Prisyan. So I'll be excusing myself now."
"You..." Prisyan couldn't believe that Schwal actually let go such a wonderful opportunity to devour so many resources. After all, there's no one other than the clan could possibly feed her this kind of amount. Then, he looked at Jin Rou with murderous intent and said, "Is it be cause of this man that you aren't willing to come home with me?"
Jin Rou shook his head. He knew this would come. After all, all dots would connect to him and it's easy to deduce. Anyway, there's no helping about it.
"Whether it's him or not has nothing to do with you. After all, we aren't even dating or anything. I stayed by your side because it's beneficial for me. Thus, in other words, we have a mutual relationship out of benefits." Schwal Coffin said coldly, "So my matters have nothing to do with you. So if you will excuse me, please."
"Do you really think I will let you go that easily?" The young master's eyes were filled with intense hatred and jealousy, "I'm not going down without a fight. If you really want to, show me how capable that man is."
