Seal This Place Off

Not everyone liked having a major power stick its nose into everything, especially one like Dragonrider Island.

If those people joined in, they might not even get a sip of the broth. Dragonrider Island might not care about such a small prize, but Li Yu certainly did.

He had finally stumbled onto a big haul, and that bastard Yue Chong had invited outsiders in?

Yue Chong looked just as unhappy. He knew that if Dragonrider Island joined in, they would get little out of it. But what choice did he have?

"This matter concerns the Demon Kingdom. I came to take a look."

Before Yue Chong could explain, the man from Dragonrider Island standing on the dock spoke.

"Island Lord of Moonlit Island, there's no need to blame him. You should know better than to touch anything belonging to a general of the Demon Kingdom. As for anything unrelated to the general, you may take it. I won't stop you."

"And allow me to introduce myself. I am Bai Lie, one of the lords of Dragonrider Island's four outer islands."

With that, he fell silent and watched Li Yu, plainly expecting him to get moving.

His attitude rankled everyone present, but this was Dragonrider Island. Its arrogance matched its power. They dared curse him only in their hearts, never to his face.

As for Li Yu, he was grinding his teeth.

What he had discovered was tied to that Demon Kingdom general. If they could take nothing belonging to the general, what was left?

He had thought bringing Lin Jun might help him secure a few treasures. Now it seemed he would get nothing at all.

At that thought, he looked toward Lin Jun and found him staring straight at Bai Lie. Only then did Lin Jun turn to him.
