460 Saleen’s profit Part 2 (2/2)

”That is the only way I guess.” At this point in the discussion, Bifano had lost the mood to strengthen his relationship with Lex. He sent some people to lead Saleen to the treasury to get the gems and magic nuclei. Afterwards, he arranged accommodation for Lex and her entourage. In the evening, he wanted to host a banquet, but he was rejected by Lex and Saleen.

In the princess' castle, only a few rooms were lit. Most of the castle was draped in pitch darkness. It was a cloudy night, one could barely see their own fingers in the dark.

Saleen made his way to Lex's room openly. After entering, he closed the door and cast a magic lock.

”Lex, do you trust Bifano?” Saleen went straight to the topic.

”Why do you ask?”

”When he looks at you, his eyes are filled with evil intentions.”

”What does he dare to do? If he hurts me, Holy Rock City will definitely flatten his duchy to salvage their pride.”

”What if he has come to an agreement with Holy Rock City? If he can contact you, why can't he get in touch with Holy Rock City?”

Lex stood up abruptly and turned around, staring at Saleen. Saleen looked into Lex's eyes calmly, feeling serene.

”I can't think of any advantages he will attain by doing so. If he had really done it, why can't we retaliate?” Lex's eyes beamed with arrogance.

”If that's the case, does it mean I can leave him alone if anything happens?” Saleen probed.

Lex's eyebrows were tightly locked, then she said, ”Saleen, we don't have any allies right now. Without any evidence, I don't wish to touch Bifano.”

”Then forget it, I was still planning on getting a fortune.”

”Nonsense. If he dies in our hands, there will be trouble too. The Grand Duke of Titan might ride on the wave and give up his power, and the Cloudflow emperor would use this as an excuse to negotiate with the Holy Rock City. The Holy Rock City can't wait to sell me out, and I will not give them a chance to do so.”

”Lex, I am just making a remark, don't act so uptight. If he harbors any ill intentions against me, don't blame Nailisi for acting swiftly. I won't be able to stop her.” After finishing his sentence, Saleen turned and left Lex's room.

As Lex gazed Saleen's back view, an unexplainable feeling welled up in her heart.

”Since when did this youth grow up, having his own ideas, he can no longer be controlled easily.” Of course, Lex would not wish for Saleen to remain sentimental and reckless. Such a change undoubtedly made her feel that something in her heart had flowed away, like an elapsing river which was surging forward, boisterous and irreversible. Lex rubbed her eyes, as she thought to herself, ”Didn't I wish for Saleen to become like this? Now that he has done it, why do I feel so depressed?

Back in Saleen's room, the lights were dim. The princess' castle was a vital military installation, there was no extravagance, only practicality. Nailisi sat in front of a pillar restlessly, using her fingers to fiddle with the flames. Under the candlelight, her hair gave off a demonic green glow.

”Master, you are back.” Nailisi continued toying with the fire.

Saleen noticed that the blanket had been laid out properly, then said, ”Nailisi, you can return to your room.”

”Master, do you want me to get Sister Sika?”

Saleen replied tiredly, ”No need, I want to dwell on some matters alone.”

”Then I shall accompany you, I can sleep on the floor.” Nailisi had mysteriously become very obedient today.

Saleen relaxed his muscles and planted himself onto the bed. Smacking the sides of the bed, he said, ”Nailisi, come over.”

Nailisi came beside Saleen silently. When Saleen felt better, he asked, ”Nailisi, if I need you to kill Bifano, how long do you need?”

”If it was in the living room like today, I will need less than five seconds. If he has his soldiers around him, I cannot guarantee anything.”

”Got it. If I say 'small duke' in the future, take action immediately.” Saleen's gaze was filled with perseverance. Based on his instincts, Bifano definitely wanted to harm Lex, but Saleen could not get hold of any evidence.

”Master, it is not because he is fond of Lex right? You already have Sister Sika,” Nailisi said solemnly.

”Don't spout nonsense. If Lex comes to any harm, our Metatrin City will become a laughing stock.” Speaking, Saleen finally understood why he felt so anxious. Without Lex and her God's Ring, he would not be able to return to the hell of god's punishment. If that happened, then he would not be able to acquire Raphael's magical tower and the Six Elements' Space.

If Saleen knew that would happen, then he should have brought the three kings along.
