Chapter 1098: Chapter 1096: Dragon Summit Inn (20)
“You, why are you here?”
After a silent exchange of glances, Gerard finally chose to bravely face the situation, leading his team to leap into the hall through the broken window.
And after signaling the others to spread out and be on guard, he directly asked in a deep voice.
Fu Qian was not at all surprised by this developnt; he still had the Anchor in his possession. How could this guy just turn around and leave?
An Extraordinary Item that could even restrain a Demigod, he was most likely unwilling to bear the cost of losing it.
“Taking shelter from the rain, then got attacked by a dragon.”
And in response to his question, Fu Qian’s answer was sincere and concise, even gesturing upwards to indicate his reason.
…
Unfortunately, this overly accommodating deanor was a bit of a contrast from his previous behavior, which made Gerard sowhat skeptical.
“I’m asking… how did you get here?”
After adjusting his emotions slightly, Gerard eventually gritted his teeth and changed his question.
“I walked over.”
Fu Qian didn’t bother pretending to misunderstand, and while responding, he even lifted his right hand, showing off the Anchor still wrapped around it.
He really just walked over…
In fact, without needing a reminder from him, Gerard’s first instinct was to check the Anchor, which is now confird to be the genuine Anchor in perfect working condition without any signs of deactivation.
But it was precisely this discovery that threw Gerard’s thoughts into chaos.
So, is this really the lunatic in front of ? Did he actually drag the Anchor all the way here?
What kind of joke is this? Even Demigod Kelson couldn’t manage to do this!
Unless… soone is helping him?
The next mont, Gerard, feeling almost like his brain was about to burn out, suddenly straightened out a thought and turned to look at Ailina and the other two.
The power of the Ancient Dragon from before, even just by watching from afar, one could sense its strength.
Conversely, the strike that hit it was just as formidable.
If that arrow was shot by these three people, then the strength of this team could be considered far beyond expectation, and it would be understandable how they had the courage to snatch food from the tiger’s mouth.
And when they were in the Legendary Small Shop earlier, they had openly declared that they were temporary allies.
…
This is the trouble Mr. Lu was talking about… I really should have left sooner!
Facing Gerard’s swiftly piercing gaze, Ailina inevitably felt a twinge of regret.
She was only considering the possibility that the Ancient Dragon might return to attack again and looking for an opportunity, neglecting the misunderstanding that their presence here could cause.
Ailina naturally understood the suspicion on Gerard’s face, but even if she wanted to explain and stress that they were no longer allies, it required the other party to be willing to believe it.
In the end, it was because the people from Siren arrived too quickly.
Speaking of it, Mr. Lu was the sa; there seed to be developnts beyond understanding during this operation.
“Splitting forces in a place like this?”
Just as the ntal calculations on both sides beca more intense, Fu Qian seed uninterested in explaining, examining Gerard’s team behind him and raising another concern.
Compared to their ti in the Legendary Small Shop, Siren’s numbers had decreased by nearly a third.
“With so much chaos inside, aren’t you afraid that you won’t be able to regroup later?”
“…We certainly have a way.”
The fact that the other party seed genuinely concerned about risks made Gerard feel extrely odd, but he still replied stiffly.
“Right, Siren has a large family with a great number of special Extraordinary Items, after all.”
Fu Qian nodded slightly, his hand idly playing with the Anchor, completely disregarding how this action made Gerard’s eyelids twitch.
“But even so, aren’t you afraid of coming off worse in an encounter with the Ji Family people?”
The next mont, as if he had thought of sothing else, he continued to express his concern.
…
Unexpectedly, this question made Gerard’s eyelids twitch even more.
“Got it, so it’s because you took a loss that you split up?”
Fu Qian looked as if he suddenly had an epiphany upon seeing the other’s reaction.
“The others are taking care of the injured?”
“Frictions are always inevitable; thanks for Mr. Lu’s concern.”
Gerard finally refused to show a weaker posture and proudly admitted to Fu Qian’s guess.
Interesting, compared to his earlier deanor, this friction seed to have arisen a bit too hastily.
Confirming that it was indeed the situation he had ntioned, Fu Qian beca pensive.
“No need to be so formal; after all, I was just being polite. So you broke my windows, planning to co in for a rest? But feel free to have a seat.”
“…Why would it be your window?”
Striving to ignore the other party’s overly frank remarks, however, Gerard ultimately couldn’t help but question a certain statent.
“Isn’t it obvious?”
Fu Qian patted the seat beneath him and pointed to the other people, whether seated or standing.
I…
Gerard looked in the direction indicated and, although he didn’t want to admit it, the posture and presence of the one sitting fit so perfectly that for a mont it felt as if they had all co to pay him a visit.
So what exactly is he here for?
Under the mistaken assumption that he had the ability to move with the Anchor, not only did he not flee but he purposefully ran inside.
Even after coming here, he seed to have no specific purpose, either taunting with words or reigning supre from his seat.
“Don’t be shy, this place hasn’t been this lively in many years.”
While Gerard’s mind was in disarray, Fu Qian spoke again, but this ti he addressed soone closer to the other side behind the window.
“If you don’t mind, please co in through the front door?”
…
Gerard’s first reaction was that this guy was mocking him again, but then he imdiately realized sothing and beca suddenly alert.
Less than half a minute later, the entrance door was pushed open a bit more from the outside, and Amir’s face appeared first.
This group of newcors looked a lot more intact, huh!
The new guests entering the door turned out to be mbers of the Ji Family, and compared to Siren, their numbers hadn’t diminished at all, just showing so minor signs of combat.
And they were obviously more cautious, having chosen to first observe secretly.
“Amir…”
Gerard was clearly not so calm anymore, his teeth grinding the mont he saw the newcor.
“You even have the guts to show up in front of !”
“This question should be asked by , right? How does it feel to bring humiliation upon oneself?”
Amir’s verbal attack capability was still much stronger, and he imdiately snorted coldly.
“Also, it seems as if I was invited in by Mr. Lu.”
Without waiting for Gerard to retort, he turned his head toward Fu Qian to show his stance.
“Mr. Lu, we ca because we noticed signs of the Giant Dragon’s appearance and rushed over, we are not concerned with other matters—”
Before his words were finished, the gloomy hall suddenly lit up as if illuminated by a cot.
Soundlessly, a grand and imnse golden stream pierced through from the window they had hidden behind earlier.
The figure on the Golden Throne, who was listening to his speech, was instantly engulfed.
