Living With My Lady Boss by Blue Silver novel Chapter 2709

"What do you mean by that?" asked Wilbur.

Dino glanced at Wilbur, bowing politely. "Our Patron Sivan received news that there was a dragon clan cultivator's aura detected in Buck Town. Despite not knowing why, Sivan probably assumed that the cultivator was hiding in the City Lord's quarters, and you didn't notice it because you were busy dealing with the town's affairs. Hanson was also rewarded by the organization, and thus thought that he could break into your quarters without letting you know beforehand."

Dino paused for a moment, then continued, "Hanson's actions were undoubtedly wrong, but he didn't mean to offend you at all, Lord Edmund. More than that, he would have hated to make an enemy out of you because of this. That's why Mister Dalton and I decided to give you the Black Jade Pearl as a gift of apology. We want to put an end to our misunderstanding and also get the chance to explain the situation to you. You can decide what you want to do with the dragon clan cultivator yourself, Lord Edmund."

Despite Dino saying so, Wilbur and Edmund understood what he was implying at once. While the Black Jade Pearl was an apology gift, it was also a way of forcing Edmund to hand the dragon clan cultivator over.

After all, it would not go over very well to turn down doing something for someone after accepting a gift from them. Wilbur and Edmund were both pretty impressed at Dalton for this. He had de-escalated a high-risk situation just like that. However, they still knew what all of this meant.

The vengeance between the Dragon Slayer Organization and the dragon clan cultivators was not something that was going to be solved so easily, and Wilbur and Edmund were both the latter. Edmund would never hand Wilbur to Dalton and Dino over just like that.

Edmund would never have been able to hold the fort down for this long without Wilbur, on top of the help he had given Edmund before. There was no going back here.

Edmund could only put on a scowl, saying, "I'm truly grateful for the gift, Dino, but you made the same mistake Hanson made. If there really was a dragon clan cultivator in the City Lord's quarters, how would I not know about it? Hanson already crossed me once, are you trying to do it a second time?"
