Chapter 1202 - 1068: Repeatedly Underestimated

Chapter 1202: Chapter 1068: Repeatedly Underestimated

Upon hearing "any other requirements," the Water Attribute Supreme no longer had the interest to argue, and just listened silently.

The Nutrient Injection showed no consideration for the other’s feelings, stating that at least two Divine Text Treasures were required, and they must be satisfactory to his side.

The reasoning is ready: if you’re plotting something from us, you must pay a corresponding price.

The Water Attribute Supreme couldn’t hold back again, "You said ’not easily’ accepting doubts, but I want to argue a bit."

The Nutrient Injection nodded, "Go ahead, as long as you think what you say is reasonable."

The Water Attribute Supreme spread his hands, "There are no Divine Text Treasures in the family; the Imperial is very cautious against the nobility!"

The Nutrient Injection snorted upon hearing this, "A dignified supreme should at least have a draft when lying, right?"

"You said the array was lost, now you tell me you have no Divine Text Treasures?"

So this was where he was waiting for me? The face of the Water Attribute Supreme changed color.

Of course, he could still argue, but pulling that off in front of this person might result in someone on our side dying again.

He hesitated a bit, saying, "That will take time to gather... and I hope you can allow a bit of delay."

After pausing, he emphasized once more, "I truly hope that some people can be released at least partially."

"With this assistance, we can better prepare resources, this is truly not an excuse."

"That is impossible," the Nutrient Injection replies without hesitation, shaking his head.

"I’m not targeting anyone specifically, otherwise keeping you here, do you think we could plunder your family?"

"If you doubt, we don’t mind showing it to you immediately."

Upon hearing that, the face of the Water Attribute Supreme couldn’t help but change again—your bravery is truly unparalleled!

He knows very well how strong his family’s defense is—mainly because the defensive system is well-established, not much linked to high-level combat power.

But these words, he really can’t say casually.

He’s already underestimated the opponent once, surely he can’t fall here again.

What if they have some trump card he doesn’t know about?

That would bring the family to the brink of disaster!

After hesitating for a moment, he sighed, "Can I go out for a while to communicate with the clan in detail?"

"Sure," the Nutrient Injection answered without hesitation, "even if you don’t come back, as long as you think you can bear the consequences!"

You must admit, a confident person speaks differently; this confidence just can’t be faked!

However, the focus of the Water Attribute Supreme was not here, "Don’t you need to consult the supreme of your family?"

"There’s no need," the Nutrient Injection shook his head slightly, answering nonchalantly, "it’s no big deal."

Such a tone really... the Water Attribute Supreme sighed helplessly.

This involves a dignified Marquis Clan, and an A-level dares to make decisions—is this when we were looked down upon so much?

But such a struggle for pride is truly avoidable; maybe he does really have that confidence?

In fact, the Water Attribute Supreme already assumed, the opponent indeed has this strength.

Fake can never be true; true can’t be fake, in a world where power is supreme, the cost of fraud is really too high.

Anyway, by now, he no longer harbors any lucky thoughts... playing mind games with such a person, he truly can’t afford to lose.

Then he was astonished to find that the other person really regards himself with casual disdain.

As soon as the opposing supreme unlocked his restriction, the little dwarf A-level openly stated: you can leave by yourself!

Indeed, his supreme cultivation has been restored, yet the opposition doesn’t even have the interest to accompany him!

This is certain that he doesn’t dare to flee, nor does he dare to do anything detrimental.

Water Attribute Supreme was truly frustrated: is this how you got me?

Actually, he indeed doesn’t dare play any tricks, but the supreme not supervising is one thing, even the A-level doesn’t accompany?

So he insisted a bit, "Wouldn’t it be more convincing if you accompanied me?"

"Conviction is your own issue," the Nutrient Injection answered lazily, showing no inclination to assist.

But in the next moment, he changed his attitude a bit, "Alright, I’ll have the butler come to escort you."

The Water Attribute Supreme subtly curled his lips: having the butler fetch me is a further downgrade in treatment.

Meaning they think he’s not even worthy of being escorted by an A-level, but instead by someone from the Gustine Clan outside the team.

However, now is not the time to be pedantic; first, communicating with the clan is the right path.

Besides, he also needs to take away four corpses.

However, just as he retrieved the Storage Talisman, intending to collect the corpses, he heard a light snort near his ear.

Turning his head, he saw the Nutrient Injection reached out, looking at him faintly, not speaking.

This damn... he hesitated a bit, then sighed and raised his hand, the Storage Talisman flew over toward the opponent.

The Nutrient Injection raised his hand and caught it steadily, then spoke expressionlessly, "And..."

The Water Attribute Supreme gritted his teeth again and took out another Storage Talisman to throw over, "I only brought two."

He usually stays on the planet and doesn’t need to carry too many things, plus there’s not much needed for this battle.

Seeing the other party accepting it again, he couldn’t help but speak up, "Aren’t you worried I’ll attack you?"

Nutrient Injection gave him a scornful look, as if looking at an idiot.

Then he took out a Storage Talisman, "This one is empty, come back after using it."

This showed a bit of noble demeanor, and Water Attribute Supreme hesitated for a moment before speaking, "I have some personal items in my Storage Talisman."

Nutrient Injection shook his head, only answering, "They’re all our spoils of war!"

Just as he finished speaking, the steward arrived, saw the havoc wreaked in the main manor, froze for a moment, and then raised a thumbs up.

"Indeed, such excellent means, esteemed guests."

He knew that Stephen clan had sent six Supremes, but it never occurred to him they would all fall here.

Although not too surprising, as the three warships had been blown up, the guests who came this time are truly extraordinarily powerful.

The steward drove, taking Water Attribute Supreme to the entrance.

The armored vehicles outside had received the news, they had retreated more than twenty kilometers away, and now advanced another ten kilometers.

Water Attribute Supreme came over and first released four corpses.

Seeing the bodies, everyone’s gaze dimmed: the companions who came together were now separated by life and death.

But seeing Water Attribute Supreme’s strange expression, no one dared to say much.

Instead, the commanding A-level spoke up, "Great uncle, where are the others?"

Water Attribute Supreme replied expressionlessly, "The others are still alive but have been detained."

"This time we’ve suffered, the other party has made demands..."

Hearing the conditions, A-level couldn’t take it anymore, "Damn... why don’t they just rob us?"

Water Attribute Supreme looked at him blandly, not speaking—what makes you think they can make such demands?

Feeling his gaze, A-level shuddered and reacted, "Great uncle, is there no room for negotiation?"

Water Attribute Supreme slowly shook his head, "If you were inside, just from what you said earlier, you’d be dead by now!"

"Their strength and ruthlessness are unparalleled in my lifetime, make sure you deliver the message."

"Deliver it..." A-level was once again stunned, "Great uncle, aren’t you coming with us?"

"Is it because my cultivation is still intact?" Water Attribute Supreme smiled bitterly, "If I go with you, none will survive the next moment."

A-level was shocked, looking at him in disbelief, "Are you saying your cultivation..."

Water Attribute Supreme nodded gloomily, "My cultivation has been sealed, I was released just to meet you."

They weren’t afraid of me escaping at all, there was no hesitation when unsealing the restriction.

A-level understood, even developing a suspicion, "Could it be a trap... wanting to capture us too?"

Water Attribute Supreme hesitated then shook his head, "It shouldn’t be, if they wanted to act, they’d be fearless."

A-level contemplated and asked, "Then do we really have to provide compensation?"

"What else can we do?" Water Attribute Supreme looked at him indifferently, "You can’t decide this, discuss it back home."

"Well..." A-level thought for a moment, cautiously querying, "Great uncle, do you have any suggestions?"

"Suggestions... none," Water Attribute Supreme shook his head, "You saw the three warships destroyed."

"It was all done by the same Five Elements Battle Array; their research on battle arrays far exceeds the Empire’s current scientific level."

A single battle array not only trapped so many people but also destroyed three warships effortlessly, showing exceptional skill.

A-level hesitated again, giving a meaningful look.

Water Attribute Supreme shook his head, "I’m just relaying the situation, won’t offer other suggestions."

"Considering I already made a wrong judgment in deciding whether to come, I don’t want to influence your decisions anymore."

He said he wouldn’t influence, but his refusal to make judgments basically revealed his stance.

When the armored vehicles returned to Stephen’s domain, the territory had already heightened its defenses, all systems activated.

With three main starships destroyed, losing over half of the starship’s combat power, it’s not shaking the foundation but certainly a heavy blow.

The heirs outside the territory also received the news, those close by have begun to retreat.

Currently, every noble clan has been passed down for dozens or hundreds of generations, possessing ample experience to deal with accidents.

Anyway, they are curled up within the territory, their safety temporarily guaranteed.

As for what to do next, it’s still judged by the news from the front lines.

As the three armored vehicles entered the territory, they were notified.

"The ancestor has announced, none of you are resting, everyone head to the adjudication room for interrogation!"

Stephen clan’s large mobilization this time was only passed by the Elder Council, not by the whole clan assembly.

This isn’t surprising, they thought they were attacking a force not too formidable, a full clan assembly would easily leak the news.

Although it was an effort to seize by force, making it widely known wouldn’t be fitting.
