Chapter 334 Three Trials (1/2)
”What if I don't join the Shura College?” Zachary asked.
”Then you must surrender the Hundred-Treasure Beast to us,” Tracy replied firmly.
”What if I refuse to give it to you?” Zachary prodded.
”Then I can't guarantee what will happen to you next,” Tracy answered, honestly.
”Oh? Really? Then I'd like to see what the Shura College will do to me!” Zachary exclaimed. He was the kind of person who could be persuaded by reason but not by force. As the Shura College was so desperate to obtain the Hundred-Treasure Beast, he would not give it up so easily.
”Harley, are you not going to give it careful thought? Now your situation is very precarious. If you don't handle it well, you will endanger the other nine disciples of the Celestial College. I'm not threatening you. But, you can't defeat the Shura College on your own.” Tracy's eyebrows furrowed as she tried to reason with him.
”Is that all that you want to tell me? If there is nothing else, I will leave,” Zachary retorted with a smirk before turning around and walking away.
Tracy could not help but shake her head when she saw Zachary depart. She knew that if he refused her request, his situation would become even more tricky and worrying. The Shura College could take coercive measures to force him to surrender the Hundred-Treasure Beast at any time.
”I see. I will report this to the college,” Tracy mumbled as she nodded and left.
Zachary returned to the farmhouse. During his conversation with Tracy earlier, he understood that if he refused to relinquish the Hundred-Treasure Beast to the Shura College, they would pursue the matter further. Even if the college did not do anything to him directly, they would cause trouble for Queenie and the others. He didn't want anyone to get hurt because of him. So he decided to speak to the others as soon as possible.
As soon as he entered the farmhouse, Zachary saw that Queenie and the others had already gathered. The moment he stepped into the yard, everyone surrounded him.
”Oh, Harley, here you are! You are a hero now. Congratulations! I am so happy for you,” Nelson said to him with excitement. He seemed happier than Zachary.
