Having been together with Jewel for so long, he had forgotten that he had never asked for background. He had known only a few basic information that she had mentioned to him but nothing more.
Whether the region she was originally from or who her parents were, he had never bothered to ask. However, he had done some basic research on the surrounding regions to increase his pool of knowledge.
From his understanding, only three regions surrounded the Grave region. The first was the region Yoze entered this world, and his family was from the Jade Region. The next region was the Depths region, blocked by the Endless Forest and another Grandline known as the Bottomless Swamp.
The last region, the Giant region, was blocked by the Devil's Valley grand line. Even though these regions were close by and had some passages that allowed for travel between them, they still developed some differences.
However, after his research, he noticed that none of the regions had a handshake as one of their customs. Instead, they had different versions of the handshake or none at all.
"When I get back, I should ask Jewel for more details about her background. Even though it won't change anything, it will be easier for me to see how far she traveled and can spare me some time from researching the regions she has already visited or has a depth of knowledge about." Yoze thought to himself before returning his attention to Alosa.
"Oh, I see. I'm from the Jade region, and we don't have such a custom. It makes sense for you to come from a different region since there is no way the Grave region can give birth to someone like you." Alosa said casually, unaware that she was born in the same region as Yoze.
Having become Yoze's sole teammate at the moment, Alosa felt at ease. She hadn't felt so relaxed for many years and felt that her decision to join Yoze's team was correct.
"Yoze, do you think I should not attend the meeting? If I don't go, the chances that Leo and Yamgo successfully kill the two brothers will become zero."
"I would prefer if I could kill them since it is not only for the benefits, but it's also for a personal grudge of mine. But like I said before, there isn't a high chance of success if you aren't there to assist." Alosa said as a glint of killing intent flashed across her eyes.
"What are you three planning on doing with their Crystal Grapes after you kill them?" Yoze asked with interest in his voice.
He had been hoping to find some time to try and rob Immortal Patty of the crystal grape to accelerate his immortal cultivation. Unfortunately, he hadn't seen Immortal Patty pass down the Crystal Grape to anyone throughout the entire trip.
In Yoze's mind, there was only one Crustal Grape since he had some difficulty feeling that such a magical treasure that could boost his immortal cultivation was so common. But after experiencing the Immortal Palace Sect Headquarters, he felt his previous thoughts were wrong.
It would be strange if such a powerful Sect only had one crystal that had to be shared by multiple people. Not only that, the Crystal Grape itself didn't have endless crystal energy, so it would eventually run out.
If it wasn't rechargeable, the only solution would be that the Immortal Palace Sect had multiple similar treasures with similar functions. The chances of those treasures being more Crystal Grapes are very high.
"We initially decided to postpone that decision until we succeeded. There was no point in spending all that time trying to figure out what to do with them if we couldn't kill them."
"If I had to say, we most likely would have sold them or used them to foster loyal allies," Alosa said after a while.
"In my opinion, you don't need to attend the meeting. It doesn't have much use unless you still plan on forming a group with them. As for the two brothers, I can kill them for you as long as you allow me to have their Crystal Grapes." Yoze said after some serious thought.
"That sounds amazing, but I would like to have all their possessions as well as their corpses," Alosa smiled as she couldn't help but feel a little excited about the two brothers' deaths.
"Deal!"
Even though Yoze wasn't sure why Alosa was interested in having the two brothers' bodies, he wasn't interested in finding out. All he cared about was getting those Crystal Grapes and using them to boost his and Tiki's immortal cultivation realms.
He was even a bit tempted to steal Leo and Yamgo's Crystal Grapes as well. But he decided against it since it was going too far.
Even though the two brothers' evil history wasn't enough to make him go out of his way to kill them, it helped solidify his decision to kill them to help out a teammate and get two valuable treasures. As for Leo and Yamgo, he didn't have many opinions about them and could sense that Alosa still wanted to form a connection with them.
He had wanted Alosa to become his teammate because she was so good at forming connections with others. That way, he could focus on developing himself and not have to worry about forming connections himself to get more resources in the Sect.
He instead would leave that up to Alosa and allow himself to act as her backing. While she developed the connections and became more involved with the Sect, he could become more low-key and avoid catching the attention of the immortals.
He didn't care if Alosa kept her connection with Leo and Yamgo since he wouldn't be involved with them anyways. The larger Alosa's network of friends became, the more useful she would become to him.
"Since we have a deal, how about we go get our Sect Marks so I can get my Sect Marks and figure out where I am going to live?" Yoze said.
Since he was planning on having three separate bases, he needed to have a lot of money or Sect Points on hand. For that, he needed to get his Sect Mark so he could begin to go on missions.
With his strength, he should be able to quickly start amassing many Sect Points. But since he had no information on how much staying in a place costs in the Sect, he could only look around for suitable locations first.
"That sounds like a good plan. Since it's far away, are you comfortable with me using a spell to run extremely fast? I know that you must be exhausted from the intense battle with Geo but with normal walking speed, it will take us at least a few days to return to the city." Alosa asked with some concern since she didn't want to abandon her teammate so soon.
