Suddenly, a figured charged down at high speed through the pool, then straight towards him. Linley could clearly sense the ripples of that soul. “Bebe, what are you doing here?!” Bebe quickly charged down into this area of land.
“Boss, so you really are alright!” Bebe saw Linley and Delia, and was instantly overjoyed.
“You guys really are a pain!” Phusro’s voice rang out once more in the minds of the three.
“Who is he?” Bebe’s face changed.
Linley explained, “He’s the Volcano Titan, Phusro.”
“Phusro? Can it be that he’s the kitten?” Bebe’s eyes lit up.
“DON’T MENTION KITTENS!!!” Phusro’s voice exploded in fury. “Enough. The three of you, obediently stay here and don’t go out. The sound from outside will carry in here. Don’t worry, though…your voices won’t be able to transmit out.”
Linley, Delia, and Bebe were at the bottom of the golden magma pool. Indeed, they could hear the voices from outside.
Elquin, holding the golden kitten, laughed calmly as he looked at Salomon. “Salomon, all of them are dead now. I’ve given you face. You should give me the treasures of your clan to me now, right? Is it on you, or is it somewhere else?”
Nisse appeared quite nervous.
Salomon laughed calmly. “Right. I admit that I am a member of the Boyd clan, but Mr. Elquin, I have to tell you something.”
“Speak.” Elquin frowned. He felt as though something was amiss.
“The amount of wealth I have on me, and in fact even including all the wealth I have in other places, amounts to less than ten billion inkstones!” Salomon laughed calmly.
Ten billion inkstones, to ordinary Highgods, was an enormous figure. But to Elquin, it was nothing at all. To the Boyd clan, it was comparable to a single hair on the body of nine bulls.
“You are playing me for a fool?” Elquin’s face changed.
Salomon hurriedly said, “No, no, I’m not playing you. To tell you the truth, those two old servants of mine did in fact bring a vast fortune to me, but…I’ve already offered the fortune to someone else!”
“To who?” Elquin frowned. “You’d best not lie to me.”
“To Lord Aiken [Ai’ken]!” Salomon replied.
Elquin’s face changed. “Aiken?” Elquin couldn’t help but feel angered, and he shouted angrily, “Salomon, Lord Aiken is indeed powerful, and I, Elquin, don’t dare irritate him, but…do you think that just because you randomly report a name to me, that I will give up? Why don’t you say Beirut? Why don’t you go ahead and say that you gave it to the almighty Sovereign, the Redbud Ruler? Anybody can name names!”
With a flip of his hand, Salomon revealed a black talisman which was covered with complicated runes.
“You should recognize this talisman.” Salomon said.
“Hrm?”
Elquin’s face changed, and he was instantly speechless. He could recognize it. This was indeed Lord Aiken’s talisman. Since Salomon had this talisman, then the relationship between himself and Aiken must be extraordinary, or perhaps…Aiken had ordered him to carry out something.
Aiken, without question, was one of if not the most powerful figure in the Redbud Continent. Some even suspected that he had reached the level of being a Paragon.
He had previously been an Asura, but then he had voluntarily stepped down and allowed another Seven Star Fiend to take over. Nobody believed that it was because Aiken wasn’t strong enough. Everyone knew exactly how terrifying Aiken was! Although he was not an Asura, his power was far greater than that of most Asuras.
Aiken of the Redbud Continent. Beirut of the Bloodridge Continent. They were all dazzling, legendary figures.
“Drip, drip…” The golden magma in the cave continued to bubble and hiss. Other than that, it was silent.
“Inigo, what say you? What should we do?” Elquin turned to stare behind him. Suddenly, a tunnel appeared in the stone wall, and a person came out. It was Inigo.
Inigo stepped out. He had been listening all along.
“Although this Salomon has the talisman of Lord Aiken, but, that doesn’t mean that he doesn’t have the wealth of his clan on him.” Inigo said.
“You are…” Salomon and NIsse stared at him.
“I saw you before at the castle of sand.” Nisse called out in surprise.
Inigo was slightly startled. Right. When the castle of sand had collapsed, Inigo and the others had indeed been seen.
Inigo then smiled slightly. “Right. Salomon, I am the person who was pursuing and attacking you. What of it?”
“That time?” Salomon began to understand.
“Right. It was I who told Lord Elquin of your identity.” Inigo let out a chuckle. “Hmph. When you were at the Jingan Prefecture, you were kicked out by your Boyd clan. Although that was a minor matter, at that time, I just so happened to notice.”
Salomon was stunned.
“Pity that kid named Linley. He really was wrongly accused by you.” Inigo began to laugh
