''Hey, little boy! Stop right where you are! Do not take me as a fool.
I'm not an idiot. I know you have also collected plenty of the vermeil flaming fruits besides the Magic Sea Water.
Hand all of them over to me right this instant and don't even think of deceiving me.
Oh, and that archaic fan in your hand intrigues me as well. I'll be taking that too if you don't mind.
Leave everything I want and disappear from my sight right now. Don't even think about escaping or fighting back. It's not going to end pretty for you."
The bald elder smiled arrogantly. He was obviously not just greedy but also full of himself too.
"The vermeil flaming fruit?
I have never heard of that, sir. You must have mistaken it something else for it,"
Austin replied, confusion evident in his eyes.
"Do not try to play stupid. The vermeil flaming fruit could only grow and thrive beside the Magic Sea Water.
Also, I have sensed the fruit's aura beside the pond just now.
I am quite familiar with it because my primary cultivation method is related closely to fire. Its aura is quite strong that someone of my caliber could easily sense it even from a distance.
If the fruit weren't that important to me, I would have not stooped this low to steal them from you, kids.
But be thankful that I am in a good mood today because I am willing to spare your lives as long as you hand over what I asked of you.
This is your last warning! Give it to me now, or else you will never see the light of day tomorrow."
The bald elder was growing impatient as he continued to threaten Austin and the queen. With the uncooperative disposition of Austin, the old man's patience ran on a thin line.
His cultivation base was at the level of the Holy Realm. Disposing Austin and the queen was a piece of cake for him––the two could die in a flick of his finger.
'Wait a minute! The vermeil flaming fruit? Could it be those weird-looking fruits which we saw hanging on those green trees next to the Magic Sea Water?'
Austin suddenly recalled internally. He, too, grew curious about what they could be.
The vermeil flaming fruit must be quite valuable, considering a master at the Holy Realm would do anything––even stripping himself of his morals––to have it.
"Sir, we cannot make it out of the Nonuple Isles if we give all of the Magic Sea Water to you.
We are going to die either way."
Austin was well aware that the bald elder's offer was actually a trap. He claimed to spare their lives if they gave him what he wanted, but the power of the infinite aura would kill them in a matter of seconds without the protection from the Magic Sea Water. It was the only thing that would keep them alive.
Since the bald elder had decided to stoop so low and rob Austin and the queen, he was not dumb enough to let them go. They could spread rumors of his misconduct, which would undoubtedly taint his excellent record and reputation.
Earlier on, the middle-aged man in white was shameless enough to rob Austin's Magic Sea Water in broad daylight and in front of a lot of people. He was evidently not concerned about losing his face.
Compared to that middle-aged man, the bald elder was obviously more canny and prudent.
He sneaked back and caught Austin off guard.
Now, his intention was crystal clear to both Austin and the queen.
''Bullshit! I'll give you the last chance. I can still get what I want after I kill you both.''
The bald elder's patience was on the verge of running out as he spat those words.
"Fine, I'll give them to you since you desperately want them.
All I ask in return is that you spare our lives."
Austin pretended to be frightened and as if he had really thought of surrendering to the geezer's whims.
"Deal! Be quick, kid! I do not have much time to waste on you."
The bald elder uttered with a somehow cruel and triumphant smile.
"Be prepared to run!"
Austin suddenly instructed the queen with his spiritual sense.
"Which way?
That old bastard is at the Holy Realm. It's gonna be a long shot trying to run away from him,"
replied the queen, who was quite hesitant.
"To the middlemost isle of the Nonuple Isles!"
Austin made the tough decision after thinking for a short while.
"What?! The middlemost isle? You can't be serious."
The queen was startled by Austin's decision. Not only was the idea crazy but also very dangerous. They might as well kill themselves if they planned to run to the middlemost isle.
"I mean it. There's no way that we will be able to escape from that bastard's claw if we choose other directions.
We have to flee to the middlemost isle, and it's our only chance,"
Austin explained firmly, looking more determined than ever.
