This statement was not Aier trying to fool Hector Boy.
If the Boy Family had not connected with Aier, they would have eventually linked up with Aiken, ultimately obtaining a token from him, as well as a drop of Overgod Power.
But now, because of him, the Boy Family had been targeted by the Four Divine Beasts Clan; although the casualties among the clansmen were not significant, their family assets had all been plundered.
"How could I possibly regret it?"
Hector Boy shook his head. "On the contrary, Lord Aier, I am extremely grateful that I obtained your protection beforehand."
"If not for Lord Aier's protection, this time our Boy Family would not have just lost wealth, but would have been wiped out entirely!"
Hector Boy was well aware of this point.
Although he possessed the strength of a Six-Star Fiend, those people from the Four Divine Beasts Clan carried such lethal weapons as Overgod Power.
As long as two or three of them used Overgod Power, even Hector Boy would not be able to escape.
Although it was true that the Boy Family had attracted the covetous eyes of the Four Divine Beasts Clan because they were moving a large amount of assets to offer ninety percent of their wealth to Aier, causing quite a stir in a short time.
Yet Hector Boy also knew that even without this incident, once the Boy Family's scale grew to a new height, it would inevitably enter the eyes of major powers like the Four Divine Beasts Clan.
At that time, if the Boy Family had not found a sufficiently powerful backer, they would still have been swallowed up.
Therefore, Hector Boy never regretted seeking Aier's protection.
"I understand."
Aier nodded.
Since Hector Boy had such confidence in him, Aier naturally would not let Hector Boy down.
Aiken was one of only two Three-Element Soul Mutators in the Coiling Dragon Universe, and his soul power was so strong that he could extract Overgod Power directly from Inkstone.
Although Aier was a Paragon, his soul power was not yet strong enough to compare to a Three-Element Soul Mutator.
However, Aier was not lacking in Overgod Power.
The Willpower of a Paragon allowed Aier to refine Overgod Power directly from Inkstone, and there was no limit to the quantity.
Because Willpower could perfectly control this Overgod Power, preventing it from dissipating.
For a Paragon, as long as they had Inkstone on them, they would never lack Overgod Power.
Furthermore, because a Paragon could perfectly control Overgod Power, the Overgod Power that was a one-time lethal weapon for other divine-level experts could be used repeatedly by a Paragon.
Unless they encountered another Paragon, Paragons had no need to use Overgod Power.
And on the side of Aier's original body, the Equipment Slot could also directly refine Destruction Overgod Power from Inkstone.
However, because Aier's original body and his Wind Element Divine Clone were not yet Paragons and lacked Willpower, unless Aier directly refined a drop of Overgod Power, the dissipated Overgod Power would make these refined drops one-time use items.
Once this incident concluded, he would give the Boy Family two drops of Overgod Power as a foundation!
Of course, the Inkstone required for these two drops of Overgod Power would need to be provided by the Boy Family themselves; the most Aier would do was personally refine the Overgod Power from the Inkstone.
Looking up at the sky, two figures were flying over rapidly.
One of them was the squad leader who had been scared into prostrating by Aier's aura earlier.
The other person had blue hair, a square face, and rugged stubble that filled his face with majesty.
This was the patriarch of the Four Divine Beasts Clan, and also the son of the Azure Dragon Sovereign—Gaisresen!
"Hahaha, Lord Aier, I have long admired your name."
Landing in front of Aier, a smile appeared on Gaisresen's face, as if he did not know that Aier and Hector Boy had come to the Four Divine Beasts Clan to pick a fight.
"Knowing that Lord Aier was coming, my Four Divine Beasts Clan is truly honored. Please, this way."
Although there was a smile on his face, Gaisresen's vigilance was fully maxed out in his heart.
Because they did not understand Aier's personality, Gaisresen and the others were worried that they might come to blows if a single word went wrong. Since his three younger brothers did not possess a Material Defense Overgod Artifact, Gaisresen did not feel at ease letting them come together to meet Aier.
"Mm, Patriarch Gaisresen is very thoughtful."
Aier nodded. "Lead the way."
With Aier's current strength, unless the Four Divine Beasts Overgods personally took action, the Four Divine Beasts Clan really did not catch his eye.
Therefore, he was not worried about any conspiracies Gaisresen might have and followed behind Gaisresen with Hector Boy, heading toward the territory of the Azure Dragon Clan.
Seeing that Aier did not immediately attack, Gaisresen felt a sense of relief in his heart.
The more powerful a clan was, the more attention they paid to those lone experts.
Because experts with factions and families had their factions and families as constraints; for the sake of their faction and family, they would compromise on certain matters or when facing more powerful forces.
But lone experts had no weaknesses. If you truly angered them and they directly struck at the forces under your command, it would absolutely bring huge losses to a major power.
Without a doubt, Aier was just such a lone super-expert.
The Boy Family, in a sense, could also be considered Aier's Achilles' heel!
Gaisresen glanced at Hector Boy following behind Aier, his thoughts racing.
He was also considering how he should communicate with Aier later.
After only a few minutes, Aier and his group arrived within the territory of the Azure Dragon Clan.
"Azure Dragon Hall? Could this be the place where the Azure Dragon Sovereign resides?"
Looking up at the characters above the Azure Dragon Hall, Aier narrowed his eyes.
From these three large characters, Aier could sense the aura of Overgod Power, a formidable might that one could perceive at a single glance.
Clearly, this was the handiwork of the Azure Dragon Sovereign.
"Hmm, before my father and the others became Sovereigns, this was indeed my father's residence."
"However, after becoming Sovereigns, my father and his few brothers began living together elsewhere, and even when they appear, they always appear together."
"Because of the close relationship between my father and the others, our Four Divine Beasts Clan is just like one big family."
Watching the smile on Gaisresen's face, Aier couldn't help but curl his lips upward.
People like Gaisresen would only know that their fathers became even closer after becoming Sovereigns and were reluctant to part ways.
But Aier knew, were the Four Divine Beasts Overgods really reluctant to part ways?
They were simply too afraid to separate, weren't they?
The four of them were all merely Lesser Sovereigns.
Even though the physical strength of the Azure Dragon Sovereign Reding and the Black Tortoise Sovereign Bowen had reached the level of an Overgod Artifact, they could barely manage to preserve their lives in the hands of an Intermediate Sovereign.
