Randy didn't go berserk here even after finding out the culprit who had kidnapped and cut his guild members. It was because these Monikia didn't kill his guild members which were a rare case. So he was playing nice here, giving them a chance to prepare before going war.

However, Marlin still shook his head and said moderately, ”No, I will give the twenty men back, but you shall leave from this island afterward. We never have an intention to get in your hostile side and we won't disturb you either. So just leave us alone on this island and I will forget what you have done just now and about your friend who almost killed one of us,”

”Hehe,” Randy let out a chuckle, ”You don't want to be hostile toward us, but you kidnapped and cut my men's hands. Are you joking with me?”

”Do as I said, or I will force you to free my men!”

Randy pulled the two Infernal Blades from his back.

”Heh, I don't want to get your hostile side, but it doesn't mean I won't fight you,” Marlin stood up and suddenly brutal aura swept the room. After that, four 2 meters golden sticks appeared on his hands.

However, Randy remained unperturbed despite the brutal aura which centered at him. He immediately spread his Dragon Aura and countered the brutal aura from Marlin.

The six Monikias took three steps back when the oppressive aura swept them and Torin tumbled with his red butt hit the floor first.

Marlin also shocked as the Dragon Aura spread the room, his expression changed drastically as he recognized the Dragon Aura. He knew the human before him was strong, but he didn't expect the human had Dragon Bloodline.

The shock was only for a moment as greed creeped out from his eyes. The Dragon was a beast which revered by all beasts. However, not all them revered the dragon as they also yearned for the dragon for their evolution.

Marlin conflicted inwardly as the Dragon Aura still lingered inside the circular house. In one side, the dragon bloodline was had a tremendous use for him and in another side, it was his for his tribe interests.

Monikia Tribe, they were a tribe which got a blessing from the God Beast itself in the earlier of Battle of Ascension. However, they were very few in number and him, Marlin as the Chief Tribe decided on the neutral side.

Marlin decided to act neutral and grew stronger in the first two-phase until the Battle of Ascension Phase 3. When phase 3 started, he would look for a force which strong for him and his tribe to stay.

Their main purpose was only to ascend to the Ascension World, not to struggle became the strongest.

That was why when his subordinate found there was a human force landed into their land, Marlin ordered them to stay in the village to avoid unnecessary trouble. However, the human force was staying still even after four days searched throughout the island.

That day, Marlin decided to take a team of the human group to threaten the unknown human force, driving them away from the island. At first, the thing had gone smoothly but the Monikia he had sent to watch the human force almost killed.

This thing made him furious, and he told them to cut one hand the human they abducted before using the hands to threaten the human force.

But his action only incited the rage the human force, he knew that in his heart. Sure enough, the human force continued their search, and he ordered his subordinate to abduct one group of human again.

However, Marlin didn't expect there was a human with Shadow Elemental Power. Now, the human showed him the Dragon Aura and roused his greed over the dragon blood.

Marlin had three choices. First, it was to follow his heart, his greed. Getting his tribe to surround the human and take the dragon blood. He knew a human with dragon's bloodline was strong; he had no confidence to kill the human alone. But to the human with the dragon's bloodline, he needed to sacrifice a lot of his own kinds.

Second, it was to drive the human away from the island and avoided the unwanted trouble. This was one of Monikia Tribe's purpose, isolating themselves in one island, and grew stronger before making a contact with a strong force to join them.

Third, it was an absurd idea of his which the lowest probability he would choose. It was submitting themselves, submitting Monikia under the human force. After all, the leader human force had a dragon bloodline, the human force he met was strong for sure.

Marlin conflicted, but mostly he was focusing on his first two choices. After a long thought, Marline released out a sigh. He sat back on his seat, ”You human won't admit before you see the proof,”

”Bring Reon in!”

Randy frowned at first before deciding to follow Marlins game. He was curious what Marlin meant by the proof.

Less than 2 minutes, there was a Monikia with dark brown fur entered the circular house. There was something which caught Randy's eyes in this Monikia, it was the cut wound on his chest. The cut wound was big until he could see the ribs.

The newly entered Monikia didn't pay attention to Randy at first. He went straight before Marlin and knelt down accompanied with a greeting, ”Chief!”

However, when he stood up and turned his head back on Randy. The newly entered Monikia was shocked and shouted,

”IT WAS YOU!!!”
