Novel Full Chapter 587 - Refusal
If Chieftain Mauve accepted the offer, she would be hindering the progress of the tribe. The Wildscale Tribe would remain as is, no long capable of becoming stronger in the near future. After all, the very foundation was no longer there. As a matter of fact, they had a high chance of declining.
The red leaf was very important to the tribe. It held the core and very foundation of the tribe.
After some hours of considering things, Chieftain Mauve sighed and spoke up, "Young Master Fliv, we are very grateful for your offer. But I cannot gamble my tribe's future. The treasure is a vital part of us, and it shouldn't be gone. So I have to decline your generous offer."
Hearing the refusal, Young Master Fliv was stumped. He didn't expect that even after that offer, Chieftain Mauve was still unmoving.
The chieftain, of course, had some reserves. She didn't have the guts to gamble the entire tribe for a measly piece of land and protection. Their future was brighter than that. In fact, they might surpass this overlord in the future, who knows? As long as the treasure was there, no matter how down they went, they could always rise.
"Did you find something in my offer unsatisfactory?" Young Master Fliv tried to persuade Chieftain Mauve again, "If you wish something, let's talk about it. Our clan is willing to pay any price to have the treasure."
Truly, the Clan of Mermaids was desperate for this treasure. They would even go through such lengths to have it.
"I'm sorry, Young Master Fliv. But my mind will not change." Chieftain Mauve said sternly, "But if you still need something, I can happily provide it to you."
"I see, so you don't want the easy way." Young Master Fliv's tone was getting colder. Then, the temperature of the entire chamber dropped to the minimum, "I thought that the Wildscale Chieftain is smart. Yet, it looks like you only amount to this."
"Whoosh! Whoosh!" Suddenly, the three elders guarding the entrance entered. They looked at Chieftain Mauve with extreme killing intent.
"What is the meaning of this?" Chieftain Mauve didn't expect the clan to be audacious like this. They were even willing to use force to get what they wanted!
"You should have agreed when I'm still asking you nicely." Young Master Fliv sneered, "Now, if you don't want you entire tribe to be wiped out right now, hand over the treasure. You have to be fast. I'm quite an impatient man."
"I didn't expect that the overlord of this region will stoop so low to rob a tribe like us." Chieftain Mauve could feel her back getting wet. She knew how powerful those three elders supporting Young Master Fliv. They really had the capability to kill everyone in their tribe.
"It's always the stronger punch who has the last say. We are living in the world of the jungle where the strong eats the weak." Young Master Fliv opened his arms and smiled, "Your time is running, though. So if you want to save your whole tribe, you have to give the treasure to us."
Chieftain Mauve gritted her teeth. It seemed that she had no choice. She was about to move to activate a spatial scroll when a familiar voice came in, "The said overlord of the region is robbing an innocent tribe out of nowhere. Wow, what a bunch of clowns."
Everyone looked at the newcomer. The three elders knitted their brows in unison. They made sure that this space was locked to prevent anyone from entering. How was that possible that someone entered?
"Who are you?" Young Master Fliv asked, "Ants shouldn't interfere with matters they can't handle, I advise you."
Chieftain Mauve gaped in shock. She didn't expect that Jin Rou would make a move.
"Who am I? Just a mere passerby that can take your lives if you push this matter on." Jin Rou chuckled.
"Do you think you're a Perfect Immortal or something?" Young Master Fliv didn't believe him, of course. He kindly warned the newcomer yet he was given with a threat, "If you want to go down with the Wildscale Tribe, I won't mind granting your wish."
"With just a bunch of Quasi-Immortal and Half-Immortal, do you think it's enough to stop me? Well, if you take a Perfect Immortal with you, it might have changed something even a bit." Jin Rou laughed, he controlled the space and put up an intense pressure on the three elders.
"Thump! Thump! Thump!" The three elders knelt down in helplessness because of a sudden pressure on their chest. It was also making them hard to breath, as if there was only a thin air between.
Young Master Fliv revealed a flabbergasted expression when he saw this. He didn't expect that Jin Rou was this strong! Take note, he brought two Quasis and one Half in this journey to get the treasure. This was a terrifying line up that could destroy any powerhouse in this region.
"I don't have much time to toy with the likes of you, so I will let you choose your path." Jin Rou looked at Young Master Fliv and said, "Surrender or death?"
"Kill me?" Young Master Fliv laughed even amidst of this dangerous predicament, "I am Fliv Firstwater. One of the candidates next in line to become a Poseidon! If you dare to kill me, my family will hunt you down to the ends of the world."
"Please, your family isn't enough of a threat for me." Jin Rou smirked, "In fact, even your entire clan use all of your resources, you will still be plummeted by my feet."
Chieftain Mauve sucked a mouthful of air. Jin Rou just indirectly challenged the overlord's authority! It was a big slap to their faces. After all, usually they were the ones who look down on others. But now, they were being looked down upon.
Young Master Fliv could feel his veins popping on his forehand. This was the first time he was belittled like this, and this was unforgivable!
