"How dare you break into our clan alone, Prince Crimson? Do you think that strengthened by the power of the Divine Spiritual Source, you can belittle spiritual race clans like us and do whatever you like?" The patriarch of the Ghost Master Clan could not help become extremely irritated at the sight of Rocky. Whilst his blood boiled in anger, he also had some reservations about the seemingly audacious intruder.
At that time, his subordinates immediately reported to him about the intruder's break-in. Based on their description, he had a hunch and was convinced that the intruder was none other than Rocky. Needless to say, he was very careful in dealing with him. In fact, he knew that it was not a good move for Rocky to come alone and trespass the Ghost Master Clan's property. At that time, the patriarch considered Rocky's possession of the Divine Spiritual Source, causing him not to do anything rash. In his mind, he knew that it was only wise to learn first the reason for Rocky's uninvited presence in their clan at this hour.
"Well, it seems that you have misread the situation. It's not that I am ignoring your clan. It's just that I don't need to take you seriously at all," Rocky said arrogantly and coldly.
"You..." The patriarch was fuming mad that his face instantly turned red, causing his blue veins to pop from his temples and neck. However, this anger that burst from deep inside him seemed to have been doused with water very quickly. Observing Rocky's words and deeds, he believed that this man was not here to cause any trouble, and there was no need for him to put more fuel to the fire. Although the patriarch had his eye on the Divine Spiritual Source in Rocky's hand, he could not read if Rocky would use this to destroy the Ghost Master Clan out of the blue. Rocky was considered as the God of plague in the eyes of any spiritual race clan. As a result, they couldn't provoke him easily no matter how badly they wanted to. Therefore, he had to think long and hard about the consequences of his actions, even though he wanted to do something about Rocky's presence at that moment. Every minute spent with Rocky was so delicate that doing something rash was never an option.
"Cut the crap. I came here only for one thing: to take a few drops of your legendary beast's blood essence." Rocky came straight to the point and stated his purpose.
"What? The blood essence of our legendary guardian beast? I'm afraid that you will go back empty-handed, Prince Crimson," the patriarch replied after a moment of astonishment.
"What do you mean by that?" Rocky questioned grimly.
"Yes, our clan has a legendary guardian beast to protect us. But to tell you the truth, this beast has not been reincarnated yet," the patriarch replied truthfully.
"Is that so? Can I see this beast you are talking about?" Rocky asked directly as he did not believe the patriarch's words.
"This beast is regarded as the treasure of our clan. What makes you think that we would show it to the outsiders so easily?" the patriarch said attentively. He was afraid that Rocky would have some evil ideas once he saw their beast.
"That is if you are confident that you can stop me from seeing the beast," Rocky scoffed.
The patriarch's heart seemed to have skipped a beat when he heard Rocky's daunting words. By the looks of it, Rocky was so adamant about seeing their beast that rejecting him would be unwise. On the other hand, if he continued to refuse, it was hard to say what Rocky would do. Moreover, he was worried that Rocky might have some ulterior motives with his request, which was why he was so he was hesitant to let him in and see the beast.
"Patriarch, you don't have to worry about me. I'm not interested in your legendary guardian beast..." Rocky said with disdain as if he had read the patriarch's mind.
It was not until then that the patriarch remembered that Rocky already had three powerful spirit-manipulated beasts, and one of them was revered as talented as a legendary guardian beast. Thus, there was really no need for him to think that Rocky would do something unprecedented to their legendary guardian beast.
