Chapter 1081 The Unyielding
Triston Kristian and Anabel’s expressions changed ever so slightly. They didn’t know that when Dante came to talk to Triston, they were discussing this matter – he actually wanted to find the Ingenious Needles before Gerald regained consciousness! Well, that’s fine, but delays could lead to changes.
Ingenious Needles are valuable enough to make the Eight Forces fight tooth and nail for them. Now that Gerald’s activities on Promise Island have been exposed, many people are likely eager to find out what exactly Gerald is up to.
Once it was revealed that they were searching for the Ingenious Needles, the entire Eight Forces would inevitably catch wind of it and take action. Even the people from the Nether Palace would rush over.
The allure of Ingenious Needles, which could potentially elevate the supreme peak level of Flame Decay to the eternal level of Flame Decay, was simply too great to resist. Masters of the eternal level of Flame Decay are the true pillars of the Eight Forces.
The reason why Infinito is widely recognized as the top among the Eight Forces is because they have more experts in the eternal level of Flame Decay than the other Seven Forces. Moreover, there are top-notch experts like Regina and Elder Swordsman. So, Kristian could understand why the Archaic Tribe wanted to find the Ingenious Needles as soon as possible. However, he absolutely couldn’t tolerate the change in the way they planned to divide the spoils. Kristian hurriedly said, “Elder Stodd, you’ve gone too far.”
“Shut up, you have no right to speak here,” Dante said with a stern gaze. Anabel and Kristian, who wanted to speak, both felt a chill down their spines. In the Archaic Tribe, the atmosphere was equally strict and solemn. Kristian, who had direct relatives as Eternal Flame Decayers, could act wildly. However, Anabel, who rose from collateral relatives, had not yet reached the eternal level of Flame Decay in strength. No matter how talented she was, she still had to consider the feelings of the Eternal Flame Decayers.
Upon being glared at like this, she felt somewhat hesitant to speak for a moment and could only lower her head. Hector asked casually, “Is this what you mean? Or is this Mr. Pierce’s idea from the past couple of days?”
Dante smiled slightly, stroking his beard and said, “Of course, I can make the decision on this matter. Things have changed! As you all know, there are two reasons. First, our Archaic Tribe has encountered some troubles, and most people are unable to spare the time. Second, Gerald’s identity has been exposed, and now he is being watched by many people. We must act as soon as possible!”
Finding the Ingenious Needles, you’re only providing a blueprint, so I think getting sixty percent is too much. Most importantly, Gerald is now unconscious and can’t participate in the search. We have an entrance to the core area here, but it’s intricate inside, and it’s very dangerous for an Eternal Flame Decayer to enter. With Gerald not around, my Archaic Tribe will have to send a Peak Eternal Flame Decayer to accompany you,” Dante said with a smile.
“In other words, you’ve only provided a blueprint and a few keys, while we bear all the risks… I think us taking sixty percent is already quite…” Dante said, his eyebrows furrowing slightly. Because he noticed that Triston had already stood up.
“My friend, what do you mean by that?” Dante said calmly. “It’s not worth discussing, and besides!” Triston calmly said, “I didn’t expect you people from the Archaic Tribe to be so shameless, going back on your word after agreeing to the terms.”
“Hmm?” A hint of coldness flashed in Dante’s eyes as he said, “Watch your words!” “What? Are you going to chop me with knife if I don’t do so?” Triston glared at Dante as he spoke. Dante never expected Triston’s attitude to be so tough and uncompromising, showing him no respect at all.
As someone who had always been in a superior position, being scolded by Triston made a hint of anger flash across his face. He said, “Kid, do you really think I wouldn’t dare to touch you? Since
I, Dante, became an Eternal Flame Decayer, there hasn’t been a single junior who has dared to speak to me like this.” but “Don’t try to impose your rigid hierarchy on me; I’m not buying into it,” Triston said disdainfully. “You can attack me,
I guarantee that the next second, the map to the Ingenious Needles will be burned, and no one will get it. Let’s be screwed together!” Dante’s face turned beet red with anger, but the presence of Ingenious Needles made him hesitate and not dare to take action.
