Chapter 153 - Intentional Debt (1/2)

As the Black Dragon Prince chanted on, a golden light entered Jiang Fei's body. This was a summoning spell in the Dragon language. As the Black Dragon Scale was part of Init Stasa's scales, it would answer to his calls, no matter where it has been hidden.

In fact, as the Black Dragon Scale was a task-based item, Jiang Fei could not possibly have given it to someone else or deposited it in the bank. Based on the Black Dragon Prince's guess, the Black Dragon Scale was either on Jiang Fei's body or hidden in his backpack. As long as he used the summoning spell at a close distance, the Dragon Scale would automatically return to him!

"Eh?"

After the chanting had been completed, Jiang Fei's body did not show any reaction. Init Stasa was dumbfounded. The only reason he had been willing to lend the scale to Jiang Fei was because he could always summon it at any time. So much for that insurance. What was going on?

"See! You still don't believe me. I told you I lost it!"

Jiang Fei feigned annoyance. He knew that the cunning Black Dragon Prince was full of ideas. He must have had some way of retrieving the Dragon Scale. That was why Jiang Fei was not content with leaving it in his backpack and kept it in the spatial ring instead!

The Mysterious Ring was an otherworldly existence. The spatial ring was like a safe box. Whatever that entered it would not fall out, even if Jiang Fei was knocked out. If that did not work here, Jiang Fei would have no choice but to concede misfortune.

However, the Mysterious Ring did not let Jiang Fei down. Despite the Black Dragon Prince attempting to summon it three times. The Black Dragon Scale lay quietly inside the spatial ring!

"Did you really lose it?"

The Black Dragon Prince frowned. Although the item was one of his scales, losing it would not affect his powers. However, it was his own scale and emanated pure, unhinged Dragon Might equivalent to his own person's aura. If someone found it and used it to threaten others in his name, it would affect his own reputation!

Unlike the other Pure-blood Dragons, the Black Dragon Race's Seventh Prince cared a lot about his good reputation. When he was convinced that Jiang Fei had lost his Dragon Scale, his brows curled into a deep furrow.

"If there is nothing else, I'll be taking my leave!"

Jiang Fei was guilty. Init Stasa's stare was gnawing into his conscience by the passing minute, and he wanted to leave as soon as possible.

"Alright! Go ahead. Find us the Devil's Fruit, as soon as you can! Soon, I can welcome you as one of ours!" Isabella said.

Right then, Isabella's perception toward Jiang Fei had improved significantly. She was no longer even bothered about Jiang Fei's past attempt at blackmailing her. After all, Jiang Fei had managed to locate more than half of the revival materials in just a few days. There was only one final ingredient missing before she could be revived. Isabella had never met any single person more capable than he was. Upon revival, she would convert this adventurer into a Nephilim. He would become her kin. It would be a waste to leave such a capable fellow as a mere follower. If Jiang Fei was loyal enough, he would be her close accomplice among Nephilim royalty. Therefore, in Isabella's eyes, Jiang Fei was already her future aide!

"Alright, I'll get going!"

Jiang Fei nodded and left the secret cave. As he was worried that the Black Dragon Prince was still observing him, Jiang Fei kept the Black Dragon Scale concealed.

Jiang Fei glanced at the time. It was almost time to logout. It had been a long day. First was the heroic dungeon, and then the Entrance to the Void for a rescue mission, and finally getting into trouble with the Elf race's NPCs in the Elven Court! It was nothing like a quiet, peaceful day.
