Living With My Lady Boss by Blue Silver novel Chapter 2108

Wilbur glanced at Hagin coldly. Hagin's actions just now had thoroughly pissed Wilbur off. This merfolk did not respect humans in the slightest, and the nine checkpoints were just a way for him to get rid of these two pesky humans.

The old man smiled. "Of course. It's your call, Sir Hagin."

Hagin seemed to regain some of his bravado at the old man's words, and his expression turned cold again as he waved a hand. "Come with me."

As they left the coliseum, Wilbur whispered, "Sir, Hagin's tried to kill us off under the guise of these stupid challenges a few times now. Why are you still being so nice to him?"

Despite Wilbur knowing how to play nice when necessary, his impression of Hagin had worsened terribly from the way he had treated the two of them. In fact, Wilbur would have killed Hagin off already if it was not for the eighth dragon cauldron.

The old man glared at Wilbur. "Young man, no one in this world will help us unconditionally. I'm sure you know this from your time in the human realm. We must be careful in the world of the merfolk, as they are even more cunning and ruthless than our kind. You ask why I was so nice to Hagin just now? If I were to hurt his ego, he might call an end to the challenges and even order an attack against us. Neither of us would get the eighth dragon cauldron then, and it would be hard for us to return to the human realm too."

Wilbur did not understand. "But Senior Fremont had an agreement with the merfolk emperor, right? What right does Hagin have to stop the challenges for us to get the cauldron back?"
