454 Convincing Alacanta (1/2)

A few hours later, only a ragged doll that was once known as Laka remained. Seeing that scene, Laex couldn't help and stepped forward.

”I pray for your soul to reach the other side safely. Laka, I shall never forget our friendship.”

Of course, Laka wasn't dead. That was simply Laex adding salt to the injury.

'Once I recover, you won't have that smug smiled in your face anymore.'

Ignoring the half-dead Laka on the ground, Alacanta looked at Krune's group and asked.

”Are you perhaps the ones that Laka sold the Holy Land slots to?”

Krune's group nodded. Their presence earlier was just so that they wouldn't get involved in Laka's 'business.' Neither they nor Alacanta had believed it even for a second.

”He sold it to us. After that, since we were coming to the same place, he just accompanied us.”

Alacanta sighed before extending her hand.

”I'm sorry, but could you give the tokens back to me? This guy took it without anyone noticing, so he had no right to sell them.”

Krune and the others were taken aback. It was a completely different story from what Laka told them.

”Cough, cough. Sister Alacanta, I already received the payment, so there is no way we can get those tokens back.”

Alacanta glared at him, and Laka immediately shut up.

”Whatever the price, I'm willing to pay it back with interest. However, those slots are too important to us. Tell me, just how much did you pay him?”

Krune and the others looked at Laka. The payment was the Purple Flame Dragon Pearl, so even if Laka gave it back to Krune, it wouldn't have any use whatsoever. A Dragon Pearl can only be used by the Dragon who provided the blood, no one else.

”Errr... I don't think we would have any use for that anymore. We are fine with the slots alone. But thank you for the offer anyway.”

Alacanta narrowed her eyes. But just as she was about to talk, Laka intervened once more.

”Sister Alacanta, they are right. The payment is simply not something that can be paid back. Even if I return what I got, it would be nothing more than a piece of trash in their hands.”

Alacanta felt that something was wrong.

”You sold the slots of the Holy Land for a piece of Trash?”

Laka sweated a bit and immediately shook his head.

”Of course not! It is useless in their hands, but in mine, it will probably become the difference between getting one of the five slots in the Heavenly Competition or not. No, to be honest, if I get in the top five, it is definitely because of what they offered me.”

Alacanta was surprised by that statement.

”Just what was it that would make you so much stronger?”

Laka slimed and said.

”A new type of Dragon Pearl. One that is several times better than any other Dragon Pearl you had ever seen.”

”I only believe what I see. Let's go to one of the concealed arenas. You will fight me with everything you got. If it turns out that you are speaking the truth, I won't demand their slots back anymore.”

Laka smiled brightly after hearing that. He and Laex already fought after his Purple Flame Dragon Pearl was completed. That being said, he is sure that the trade was more than worth it.
