"I can tell you where the remaining eight pieces of the ninth cauldron are, but I need you to kill someone for me in exchange."
"Help you kill someone? Who?"
"Buck, the owner of Tuttle Mine."
Wilbur was confused. "Buck? You want me to kill him?"
"That's right."
The liquid woman turned back to face Wilbur. "The truth is, I know that there are more evil thoughts in this world than kind ones. The aura of darkness has overpowered that of light, but such auras can be hidden in this mine. I had begged Buck for him to let Adam stay in the mine for a while, just so he'd be able to escape his tragic fate. However, Buck turned me down. In the end, Adam went feral, which led to everything that happened between us. What kind of mother would not love her son? While it's true that you killed Adam, I know you're not to blame. I honestly feel no hatred towards you anymore now. It's Buck whom I resent."
There was a murderous glint in her eyes as she mentioned Buck's name.
"If Buck had been willing to give Adam a chance, none of this would have happened. Buck destroyed Adam, and he destroyed me. I want him dead. In exchange for that, I can tell you where the rest of the Nine Dragon Cauldron pieces are."
Wilbur fell silent, his mind racing and struggling for a while. In the end, he looked at the liquid woman coldly. "I'm sorry, but I can help you."
"Why not? Don't you want to get the ninth dragon cauldron?"
"Of course I do, but I promised Senior Fremont to only obtain the dragon cauldrons if they were given to me willingly, which means that I have to track them down on my own, and I can't use any other methods."
