Chapter 1170 - Aftermath (2) (2/2)
”Take it however you will.” Dyon shrugged. He was genuinely complimenting Sokzac, but it seemed that his fiancée didn't want it. ”Are you going to keep your word and hand over the key? Or am I going to have to f.o.r.c.i.b.l.y take it?”
Dyon would be lying if he said his heart didn't itch when he saw this ragtag bunch of kids. Other than Lilith who was 17 and Sokzac who was 20, most others aside from Asyna were 13 years old or younger. He knew that they were relying heavily of Lilith being the key wielder to forge a path to their future, but Dyon also knew he couldn't be soft hearted here.
RolRol bit her small lips, wanting to say something, but knowing that it was useless. What a joke. They had tried to kill him just a few months earlier simply because they thought his name was Jafari, but now they wanted to ask for leniency? Even the broadest minded and soft-hearted person wouldn't allow such nonsense.
”Stop bullying our big sister!” Two little boys that couldn't have been more than ten years old grasps at their elder sister's long dress, half hiding behind her, while also raining down adorable curses at Dyon.
However, considering the two of them were standing in the air, the mouths of the surrounding celestials couldn't help but twitch. Ten-year-old essence gatherers? Since when had cultivation become so cheap?
”Hush.” Lilith lightly pushed them back, her expression never flickering. ”If you want to take my key without a fight, I have two conditions. The first is that me and my people will continue to be under the 98th quadrant banner. Secondly, I want you to heal my soul.
”If you can't agree to these two conditions, then we will fight it out right here and right now.”
Dyon was silent for a long time. Even Sokzac who had been struggling to stand in the distance had made his way back to stand beside Lilith before he responded.
”I won't agree to the first condition.” Dyon suddenly spoke, causing Lilith's frown to deepen. ”It's not a matter of you, but rather the people behind you.”
Dyon's gaze shifted to Asyna before going back to Lilith. ”The people you call elder are untrustworthy individuals. Not only that, but they're scheming and disgusting. I won't allow that sort of cancer to fester here. I'm sure that there are many sects that would take in a talent of your level, you do not need this quadrant.”
Asyna's fists tightened as she stared at Dyon resentfully. ”My people did nothing wrong!”
”You have your story, and I have mine.” Dyon said coolly. ”However, I can help you with your second condition. That said, you have no right to question the method I use.”
