Chapter 331 Grand Martial Hall (2/2)

They all quieted down when the middle of the three Sage Level warriors spoke up. Her silver hair contrasted startlingly with the youth of her face. ”I see no point in investigating how this Harley did it. The important thing is, how do we deal with him?”

Corbin looked sul

king about?” Zachary snapped back, immediately alert. ”What do you want?”

”I'll make you a deal,” said Alger. ”Keep the Hundred-Treasure Beast if you want, but you have to give us all the treasures on it.”

”How about another deal?” Zachary sneered. ”I'll just keep everything.”

Alger's voice lowered, but grew only fiercer. ”That's some imagination you've got, boy. If you don't give us the treasures, you won't be walking out of here today.”

The other disciples with him, who were all at the King Level, nodded in agreement. They made no effort to hide their greedy, malevolent intentions.

At this point, Nelson spoke up. ”Alger, the treasures that grow on the body of the Hundred-Treasure Beast have a growth cycle. We should let them fall off by themselves. If they are removed prematurely by force, they will never grow again.”

”Too bad I don't care,” retorted Alger, glaring. Normally he might have reconsidered after hearing Nelson's point, but he had a score to settle here. Now that Zachary had gotten the Hundred-Treasure Beast, Alger's jealousy and hatred of him had doubled.

A familiar woman's voice broke in on the confrontation. ”What's going on here?!”

Everyone whirled around to see Queenie, Rebecca and Scott, walking side by side into the yard.

Alger was quick to reply first. ”Queenie, you're here just in time! This guy doesn't want to share any of the treasures of the Hundred-Treasure Beast. But we're the ones who helped him! He couldn't have subdued that thing if not for our protection. Does this seem fair to you?” Alger sounded like he was complaining, and he was waiting for Queenie to step up and say a few words to support him.
