Pavilion Master was quite pleased after seeing those three dumbfounded faces and continued, "Yes, a herb higher than Golden Grade! But regrettably, it was stolen from Dulce by a petty thief and that''s the whole reason for the event one year ago."
Her tone was serious but there was a hint of humor mix within. Because she was actually happy about Vance''s misfortune.
Vance was quite egotistic and didn''t ce anyone in his eyes because he was a peak azure grade alchemist. Some people even believe that he''s at the juncture of breaking into Purple Grade!
This Pavilion Master also came here because of the rumor about Vance being able to break into purple grade and most importantly the power behind her got an inside intelligence directly from the Golden Hammered Kingdom royal family one year ago. It was about the emergence of a mysterious herb that can help the Golden Hammered Kingdom lep in the sky with one step!
If the Golden Hammered Kingdom really manages to get that ''legendary'' herb they could''ve easily exchanged it with an extensive amount of cultivation resources and any high-grade techniques and skills from the organization!
And what differ a Kingdom from an Empire? Exactly techniques and skills! But s they meet with misfortune in the end.
Aftering here Pavilion Master face another problem and that was no matter how much the power behind her tries it can''t find anything more from the Golden Hammered Kingdom. Thus she finally decided to directly talk with Vance and see if she could fish in troubled water.
After a whole year her effort that arrogant old man finally gives in and told her about the Blood Rose! When she heard the truth from Vance she didn''t believe it or dare not to actually.
But after some deep investigation, the power behind her verified it and she finally epted it.
Now she and Vance decided to ally to search for that thief and that''s why she tells these three goons about it. It is not like she can''t do it without them it is just to show Vance her ''sincerity''.
As for the Luminous Kingdom finding out about it, she wasn''t afraid at all, since she could control these three idiots'' actions easily and this whole city was under the watch of the power behind her nothing could go out or in without their knowledge.
While Vance wasing here that thief portrait and as for their alliance, she didn''t put Vance in her eyes because he was nothing in front of her background. What truly bothers them was Pill me Organization because they can''t kill a blue alchemist of the organization easily.
In the end, she decided after getting her hands on that little thief portrait she''s going to use her power''s fullwork of information without Vance finding out and take that Blood Rose before vanishing for good.
She has the full support of the power because with that herb she might get a chance of going into me Pill''s headquarters that was in the number one empire under Soul me Sect!
"S-stolen?!" Dion gasps in bewilderment.
A little thief dares to steal from a princess of the kingdom this news was really quite unexpected.
<em>''This thief might have some kind of secret!''</em> This was the thought of everyone in the room.
Especially the Pavilion Master because Vance told her everything about the event with Dulce three years ago. <em>''Seem like I can get a bonus after coughing that little thief.''</em> She thought somewhat erratically.
What would happen, If she knows about that thief has just enjoyed a meal and wine in her pavilion? Maybe she faints from anger.
"I summon you all here because tomorrow Vance Golden would arrive with the portrait of that thief and I want all of your help and the cities under you."
She first looked at Wes and Colten, "I know you two have also some cities in western and easternnds I want your full power and in return, I promise; you can be city lord of the second and third-ranked cities!"
Wes and Colten''s eyes widen and nearly pop out of their sockets when they heard her promise and they were so stunned their breath be irregr. Because this was their dream and now someone was offering them how could they not be moved?
Even Dion was shocked by this offer because he knew even his kingdom can''t do this. <em>''She''s not as simple as I thought!''</em> Outside he seems like a yful idiot but he was very sharp.
The pavilion master nodded in satisfaction seeing those two reactions and finally turn to Dion, "As for you I can end Luminous Kingdom''s <strong><em>''Descendent Cursed Punishment!''</em></strong>."
"Y-YOU! H-how did you know this name???!" Dion lost all hisposure and abruptly stand up as he points his trembling finger at Pavilion Master, there was deep fear and disbelief in his widely open eyes.
She simple sneer under her vile before saying disdainfully, "What? You don''t want it?"
Those two on the side are also overwhelmed by Dion''s reaction, they knew him for many years and never see him acting like this before. They are also curious about this ''Descendent Cursed Punishment'' now.
Dion force himself to calm down and quickly said, "I ACCEPT!"
He didn''t even think before agreeing to her because only the royal family of his kingdom know about ''Descendent Cursed Punishment'', and if this woman knows about it then it means she really has a way to end this fiendish punishment.
The pce master wasn''t surprised by Dion''s response and coldly said, "Since you all agree to my conditions, I don''t want any of this information getting out of this hall. I''ll contact you again very soon, now you all can go."
Those three didn''t say anything and were left bbergasted.
After this little conversation, they were quite afraid of this unfathomeddy. Even Dion didn''t dare to tease her anymore and forget about every fantasy he has about her.
As for silently leaky the information or taking that herb for themself, they didn''t dare to think about it because they can''t handle this kind of precious treasure if someone like her knows about it.
They were quite satisfied with the conditions that she already offers them. Especially Dion just the thought of leaving this hell hole makes his blood boiled.
The grand hall finally returns to its peaceful state and the Pavilion Master sits alone.
"Aren''t you going too far by offering the end of Descendent Cursed Punishment, my dear Zelda?" A charming mature voice of women resounded.
Zelda was the name of Pavilion Master and she wasn''t surprised by this sudden voice at all.
Zelda said mildly, "Aunt La don''t tell me you don''t want our family to soar and this legendary herb is the only way."
Since she didn''t know what grade came after golden grade this herb was legendary!
Suddenly a graceful figure shed and appear beside Zelda, Her face was covered with a white muslin, revealing a pair of youthful and attractive eyes.
"Sigh… You little brat! You already knew the answer that''s why you dare to promise that scoundrel. Hmph! He dares to tease you many times you''re letting him off too lightly even giving him freedom." La was clearly displeased by Dion. After all, he dares to tease her beloved niece this whole year if not for she can''t show her prowess in public she could p that scoundrel to death long ago.
Zelda''s joyful eyes turn icy when she heard Dion''s name, "Don''t worry after we are done finding that little thief you can help me get my revenge." She giggles like a little girl.
La sighed helplessly seeing her still acting like a little girl from all those years ago, but her eyes were filled with gentleness and love, "You little brat, you know I can''t say no to you." She chuckles, "But that thief isn''t easy to find in this bignd of cities."
"Don''t worry aunt where can he go? By Vance''s story, he is just a peak qi gate realm ant, humph! That Dulce is a disgrace to all the kingdom to even got robbed by an ant." Zelda snorted in full of disdain.
It''s not like she was looking down on a thief it''s just that she can''t imagine being robbed by someone from the lower realm cultivator much less someone from this deste ce!
La waspletely agreed with her, "You are right. But I still can''t put my finger on how the hell did that thief escape a formation?" She was very puzzle, "Vicon even said he was able to battle Dulce into draw even if that was in the moment of carelessness."
"She''s clearly exaggerating to hide her embarrassment and escape punishment. How can someone from this barren ce know about formations?" Zelda clearly didn''t believe Vicon.
"I hope you''re right. Let''s see the face of that little thief tomorrow." La stroke Zelda''s hair lovingly.
"I''m looking forward to it.." Zelda snickered.
