Evidently, the Illume-union wasn’t expecting that answer.

Demondream’s countenance instantly changed.

"You feel that isn’t enough?"

"Correct." Sheyan sincerely replied.

Demondream clenched and teeth and rebuked.

"Very well, what if we don’t want your divine stone? As long as Yuan Zhan can rely on this dark-grade accessory to recover his peak state, this sacrifice would be worth it!"

Sheyan’s face abruptly exposed a furtive smirk.

"Actually I don’t require your sacrifice. We would’ve gotten a deal if one of your conditions was amended previously."

Not only Demondream, but even Brother Black and Reef’s ears stiffened up with curiosity. Sheyan then continued.

"We of the party Ace, we are exceptional, we don’t need anyone’s help nor protection. Let whatever dogsheet Zeus chase us. It would’ve been fine if you had changed that condition to a thousand utility points."

When Sheyan released that statement of scorn, Demondream’s face sank uglily. Brother Black had his mouth wide opened with a seemingly constipated look, but very quickly relaxed his brows in enlightenment. Only Reef was still frowning……

"You’re belittling me, lady Demondream. Do you think emphasizing the importance of this ‘Chieftain’s Hobby’ to Yuan Zhan would channel my attention towards that, and neglect your real motives?"

Sheyan then unexpectedly and leisurely started chewing onto the tea leaves.

"If you say that the Metals Professor is bent on killing me, that would be reasonable. But for her to pursue and kill Mogensha as well, that would be rather far-fetched. Besides, Mogensha was a general under her and didn’t really betray her. His status makes him bound to be roped in."

Speaking till here, Sheyan paused and continued.

"Most crucially I feel……since the Metal Professor is in love with Zeus, but Zeus has set his eyes on Zi, while Zi, you possess the ability to suppress him, then the Metals Professor definitely aims to eradicate Zi; to sweep away all hindrances and personal agendas in her party. Therefore, the Metals Professor, Fu Lyanna, has her eyes set on killing Zi. Only by killing off her love rival, will she obtain the pure, devoted affection of Zeus!"

"Therefore, I believe, to the Illume-union who lacks their MT Archeaphill now, you are the ones that require our assistance. Only a powerful support class and a professional MT like Reef, can prevent your utter annihilation! Therefore, it should be you pleading with me, and not come under the disguise of charity to offer your ‘generosity’."

"Sincerity, sincerity is the basis of all collaborations! If you feel you need help, then first treat us with an equal standing. Don’t treat us as fools, where your only eventual outcome, is becoming the fools yourselves."

After speaking, Sheyan stood up and left without glancing back.

Reef and Mogensha naturally followed his lead.

Right now, Zi’s countenance was exceedingly furious. When she looked down at the semi-chewed tea leaves, she couldn’t help but gnashed her teeth and berated.

"That uncouth and uneducated bastard!"

After leaving Zi’s personal room, Sheyan glanced at Reef with particular enthusiasm.

"How does it feel to become a Growth-hunter?"

Reef’s nightmare imprint flickered slightly before he smiled bleakly.

"The realm has restricted me, there are many things I can’t reveal. But I can confirm the path you tread is the right one. Also, in a low-intensity world, if a Growth-hunter attacks a realm contestant, there will be another additional 40% safeguarding clause. Hence, we cannot base our conjectures on our past experiences in crossing hands with official Growth-hunters."

Sheyan then requested Reef to display his attributes. Reef complied but all Sheyan and Mogensha could see was a layer of hazy fog covering it. They were totally incapable of viewing anything. Nevertheless, Sheyan had another method.

He then decided to spar with Reef, and immediately realized all his attributes had undergone an astonishing growth rate. Probably like what Reef mentioned, such growth wouldn’t be allowed to be unleashed against ordinary contestants in battle.

Right now, Sheyan had formulated an initial reckoning about his own awakening to the Growth-hunter stage. After some contemplations, he nodded faintly.

Throughout this period, the trio became extremely exhausted. Sheyan was still fine, at least he had some time to rest after his battle with Little Lord Fokke.

Instead, Reef and Mogensha had probably gone through a mad rush of torture under the Black Pearl Pirates’ pursuit, where they had gritted their teeth and endured till perfect mission completion.

Initially, both were thriving with adrenaline from attaining a ‘lvlmax’ rating from completing the hidden main mission, but after this bout of adrenaline, they began yawning like an opium addict who was puffing towards the sky. They appeared as if they could even fall asleep while walking.

With such circumstances, the trio parted ways and returned to the real world to rest. Sheyan would then rush back to Uncle Dasi’s side to test out his newly acquired medicine. His heart was set on speeding home.

Chiming to the same beat, the trio scaled the stairs as they ascended.

Sheyan’s heart was boiling with an unexplainable anxiousness. After a momentary lapse of consciousness, he realized he was back in the bustling Xiwu pier.

Sheyan casually strolled towards a shop. This shop has been in business for 70-80 years, selling syrup and rock sugar for three generations. Sanzi loved the longan syrup here, and would always drag his big brother here for dessert. As he was feeling slightly dizzy, Sheyan stopped for a casual peppermint red bean soup.

Strolling under this hot weather filled his forehead with beads of sweat. When he walked into this clean shop, a gust of refreshing cool air struck him, along with the slight honeysuckle fragrance. With a ceiling fan brushing cool wind against him, the heat was swiftly swept away.

Soon after, a pure white ceramic bowl filled with broth was served. Ice cubes clinked against the surface of the bowl within, and the skin of the mushy red bean had been peeled away, looking like little red powder that swirled amidst the cooling soup. Peppermint leaves were floating above it, and the chocolate-colored simmering syrup gradually dissolved into the soup. It was indeed an art.

It was as though his throat and eyes were emitting smoke, as he couldn’t resist the urge to stir with a ladle. The soup and ice cubes collided with the bowl surface, releasing refreshing jingling sounds. Sheyan lifted the ladle for a taste. Instantly, his mouth was overwhelmed by a refreshing coolness. The sweetness of the red bean simmered, and the unique peppermint fragrant wafted through his mouth. A suitable temperature brought about by the practical usage of ice cubes to absorb the blistering hot heat, not excessively cold that it would induct frostbite headaches.

As Sheyan slowly drank his dessert, he started thinking of a logical method that could allow Uncle Dasi to accept his treatment. As the bowl of red bean soup approached the halfway mark, he reached a basic conclusion.

After finishing the soup, Sheyan stood up confidently. Ten minutes later, he boarded a cab towards the market. Although he was rather exhausted, a sense of excitement enveloped his body; fuelling his mobility.

********************

Time swiftly sped by, and two days had passed since Sheyan returned home. He had recovered his energy, and his mental state was now relaxed.

On the third day, Sanzi heavily panted as he raced over, informing Sheyan of a group of foreigners showing up in Xiwu pier. They were all clad in suits and drove luxury cars, and he wasn’t sure if they were here to cause a commotion.

Instead, Sheyan was secretly delighted. Knowing his plan succeeded, he purposefully frowned and issued.

"No way, I haven’t caused trouble recently ah."

He then headed over with Sanzi for a look. As it turns out, it was a group of doctors from a major hospital that came to this relatively insignificant place for medical examinations. Such good news was unprecedented in Xiwu pier before.

Naturally, it was the females and elderly who would become obsessed with such free services. Within a blink of an eye, the place became overcrowded. Chinese folks also loved to be curious spectators, therefore not long later, the site became packed with visitors.

By now, the relationship between Di Gu and Uncle Dasi was already pretty intimate. Hearing of this matter, she instigated Uncle Dasi to make a trip. Uncle Dasi’s was soft-hearted and thus casually made the trip. After registering, someone then received him for treatment.

This person had pleasant features, being outstanding and refined from head to toe. He was impeccably attired and wore golden traced spectacles. Upon noticing Uncle Dasi, he first handed him a name card. On it, was the name ‘xxx doctor professor’, ‘Vice president of xxx hospital’, ‘title of xxx of English nobility. Uncle Dasi became dazzled with all these accolades.

After putting on an act of examining Uncle Dasi, he told Uncle Dasi that though the exterior of his hand had healed, there was something wrong internally which required further treatment. If Uncle Dasi were willing to test out the product of a high-end research of the United States, he would receive free treatment.

The word ‘free’ instantly terminated the suspicions in Uncle Dasi’s heart. Uncle Dasi then followed him to a place. After an anesthetic injection, Uncle Dasi fell unconscious.

When he woke up, he discovered his hand was covered by a pair of gloves, which was also densely wrapped up; without using a scissor, he wouldn’t be able to remove it.

The doctor then advised Uncle Dasi not to remove it for two weeks. Otherwise, a festering infection of a deadly and lethal virus may flare up. Moreover, if he carelessly reveals this secret treatment, he would be arrested to become a guinea pig for the government!!
