The Adventures Of The Young Master

Young Master Fliv could only look down in embarrassment. To think that he would suffer humiliation like this. He was greatly favored by his father, Lothian. Yet now, all he could see from his father's eyes were contempt.

It was natural. After all, Lothian had expected way too much that needed from his son.

"How should I address you, Daoist Friend?" Lothian smiled, looking at Jin Rou after Fliv. He was greatly interested on the other party who had the guts to confront him in his territory.

"I am called Jin Rou." He answered, "Now, caj we get the trade done?"

It was obvious from Jin Rou's tone his impatience.

"Friend Jin, I see." Lothian nodded. His tone was calm and peaceful, "Then Friend Jin, do you know what kind of place are you in right now?"

"Yes, this is the Deep Sea territory. This is where the entire Clan of Mermaids are, right?" Jin Rou shrugged his shoulders.

"Indeed, you are correct." Lothian chuckled, "However, do you know that you have no equal rights to offer a trade from me? After all, you may be an expert but you are still far from the older generation. Maybe if you want to trade, you have to drop that haughty attitude of yours."

"I see, so you are willing to let your precious son die in front of you then?" Jin Rou smirked. He looked at the poseidon who was still sitting on his throne, "Since I cannot make a trade with you, I should just kill him, no?"

The atmosphere of the palace hall dropped several times lower. The people present were having a hard time breathing because of the rotating heavy energy above their heads.

"Friend Jin, it will be a matter of if you have the capabilities or not." Lothian was still smiling. However, deep inside, his blood was already running cold. In fact, a shred of killing intent was leaked unintentionally a while ago.

"You have said it yourself." Jin Rou smiled sinisterly and chuckled, "Don't blame me for not giving you any face."

Then, silence ensued the entire place. It was a death silence that could turn normal people deaf.

Louise and Zacharite fell back as well as the three elders. They couldn't afford to be affected by what was about to break out.

Jin Rou and Lothian were looking at each other. Each had deep evaluation of each other. As a poseidon, Lothian had faced many powerful beings in the past that's why he could reach where he was now. He wouldn't dare to underestimate an enemy, especially someone who went personally in to his territory.

"Heh!" Jin Rou made the first move. He gave Fliv a one-kill slash to end his life.

"Hmph!" However, Lothian managed to get his son in time. Only, he didn't manage to get him to his side as Jin Rou controlled the space to severe their connection.

"Interesting." Jin Rou threw a punch towards Fliv to attempt to kill him again. The punch had carried the weight of the thousand worlds.

"Activate!" Lothian finally stood up. He could also feel the intense power of this punch. He activated his one of the grand treasures he currently possessed, the Sea Protective Bowl.

The three elders were shocked to see that their poseidon just used a prized treasure that he rarely used. It was a treasure bowl that could defend a target with any kind of attack for once.

"Crack!" The Sea Protective Bowl protected Fliv from the punch. However, it cracked several times and immediately turned into nothingness.

Lothian's brows creased for the first time. His expression was turning grave serious. The bowl had a very ancient background, and it could usually only lose effect after usage, turning into an ordinary bowl. It could only be used again after it gathered sufficient energy of the heaven again that might take roughly three years. Yet, it broke just by a single punch from the enemy.

Things were graver than he expected. And he couldn't afford to be careless.

Even as a peak Half-Immortal, he could feel an intense threat coming from Jin Rou.

"Is that all the you can do?" Jin Rou chuckled, "I hope you still have more treasures to protect your son, because I still have more in my store."

Jin Rou was just getting started in toying the leader of this clan. Since Lothian was arrogant enough to look down on him, he would do the same.

"Friend Jin, on the other hand, I think we can discuss the trade carefully this time." Lothian decided to back off a few steps. If it's possible to end this without anyone being hurt, it'd be better.

"Oh, sure. But the terms will be altered a bit. In exchange for your son's life, I want my comrade to be safe and sound and that core stone deep within this structure." Jin Rou laid out his new terms.

"How did you know of that stone...?" Lothian didn't expect that Jin Rou had a knowledge of something that had been hidden for so long, thus he was flabbergasted. After all, it was only him and the previous poseidons had knowledge of that!

"It's easy for me to discover mysteries of even the most dangerous zones of your region." Jin Rou smiled, "Moreover, didn't you yearn for the Wildscale Tribe's Red Leaf Treasure so that it can strengthen more the foundation of that core stone?"

For Jin Rou, it was easy as pie. After all, he had so many heaven-defying abilities as one of the strongest existence in the whole multiverse. Discovering some truths from this place was a basic thing for him.

But for Lothian, this sounded inconceivable. Even the previous poseidons didn't know the connection between the Red Leaf and the core stone until now! If not for his previous encounter with a legend, he would also oblivious about the mysteries behind.

Lothian reevaluated Jin Rou once again. And this time, what he was thinking almost scared him out of his wits.. It was only a few exchanges, yet now he could fully realize one thing.
