"Okay, Mr. Drago." Although the vigers could not understand Ss, they unconditionally obeyed him.


    "If it weren''t for you, I would have thought everyone here were cavemen!" Xavier casually sat on a


    stool, still looking like a rich CEO despite being in the wilderness.


    Quinton looked around. He knew that they were being put on the spot, and fighting their way out would


    be courting death. Hence, he decided to see how things went. He said to Ss politely, "Mr. Drago, I''m


    sure you see our sincerity. We aren''t bad people, and neither is Stefan. It was an urgent matter, and my


    sister was on the verge of death, which was why he vited your n''s sacredws." "You don''t have


    to talk to me about your innocence. All those who came looking for the dragon''s saliva had an urgent


    matter, and wanted it either for wealth or health. I''ve seen many kinds of people at my age, and you


    both aren''t the most innocent ones," Ss remarked casually as he sipped the tea served by his


    viger.


    Quinton bowed his head as he thought about it. "Let''s cut to the chase then -what do we need to do so


    you''ll let him go?"


    Ss remained quiet as he drank his tea.

    "Old man, he''s asking you a question, so stop wasting time! When are you going to let him go?" Xavier


    smacked the table fiercely. "I''m sure you''re aware that we can destroy your vige. He has to return


    with US today!" "Did I say you can''t take him away?" Ss said finally. "But you have to agree to my


    terms before I let him go." "What is it? Say it!" Xavier demanded eagerly. He felt that things would go


    smoothly as long as they could negotiate.


    "Dragos has never been peaceful from the day I was born. Although the dragon''s saliva is practically a


    myth, many people came here because of it. They used all kinds of means to get it, and Dragos would


    have been ruined if my dragon ancestor didn''t bless US..." Ss'' eyes glistened as he spoke, and even


    the fierce vigers bowed their heads sadly. It was obvious that the vige had suffered many


    misfortunes, which was why they were so wary of strangers. "Fifty years ago, a group of robbers


    barged into my vige. We risked our lives to fight them until only a little more than ten families were


    left. Then, we moved to a higher spot in the mountains. You saw many checkpoints on your way up


    because they used to be gathering points of the vigers..."


    Quinton sighed. "Sir, I understand. I''d led a life of lying low and killing people back then." In the past,


    Carmine Pawnshop had managed to gain a firm foothold at Water Dock because Quinton''s


    subordinates had sacrificed their lives for it. The vigers must have be ferocious after constantly


    seeing their n on the verge of destruction.


    "I thought you all were like those bad people who came for the dragon''s saliva, but it seems that I''m


    wrong..." Ss looked in the direction of the memorial chamber. "You all returned the cauldron with the


    dragon''s saliva, and it doesn''t look like you want to exterminate my n, so... I can forgive you and let


    him go. However, my condition is that you all have to protect my n for a hundred years, and stop


    wicked people from harming us!"
