BXBX NOVEL Chapter 116 - Treasure
Despite dealing with the after-effects of just committing his first premeditated murder, Dante wouldn\'t let the chance for treasure slip by him.
His dragon souls refused to allow for such stupid actions.
Wasting no more time, Dante bent down and quickly searched Marco\'s body before eventually bringing out a space pouch
As Dante opened the pouch, he was greeted with the sight of countless piles of gemstones and golden ingots!
With Dante\'s greedy nature, it was impossible for him to stay unaffected.
Dante\'s greed even managed to get the better of him and he even salivated unconsciously.
Thank god no one else was around him or else, his reputation as Dragon Son would be utterly ruined!
Dante didn\'t stop there however, and continued searching the other bodies until he made sure every pocket had been overturned.
In the end, Dante managed to recover 3 more space pouches, but unfortunately, the treasures in the other space pouches were nothing compared to the things inside Marco\'s space pouch.
Although Dante was disappointed, even he had to admit that his luck would be broken if he managed to get such a ridiculous haul twice in a row.
Dante could only sigh as he snapped his fingers.
Instantly, a devastating flame arose all around him and burned the corpses to nothing but ashes.
But despite all this, the most impressive thing was that under Dante\'s masterful fire manipulation, nothing other than the bodies around him were even slightly burnt
Everything else around him remained perfectly fine, as if no flames were even there in the first place!
Now that Dante could confirm that the scene was perfectly cleared of all traces, Dante gave a nod of approval and prepared to leave
Now ready to leave, he tried to put his sword into his space pouch
but to Dante\'s surprise, every time he tried to put his sword away, it would instead refuse to cooperate.
"Buzz! Buzz!"
Dante tried to put his sword away again, yet just like last time, anytime it was brought near the space pouch, it would instantly go berserk.
Eventually Dante couldn\'t take it any longer and asked the moonlight sword directly,
"What actually is your problem? Why are you resisting every single time?"
"Buzz! Buzz!"
Although it sounded like random buzzing from the sword, through Dante\'s connection with the sword, he could actually make out what it was trying to say.
the moonlight sword was telling him that it didn\'t want to go back into the space pouch.
Dante was left stunned at this new development, and in his disbelief he accidentally let his thoughts skips
"Well, it\'s not my fault you decided to put on some size. Now you\'re not so small, it\'s impossible for you to be carried around secretly anymore."
"Buzz!Buzz!"
The moonlight sword couldn\'t take Dante\'s bullying anymore and flew out of his hands, landing some distance away.
Dante seemed to also realise that he had gone a bit too far and also apologised.
"look here. I\'m sorry for calling you fat, but you really are too big to be carried away without getting noticed"
"How about this? You go in the space pouch for a short while till we get back home and after that, I promise not to put you in there ever again."
"Deal?"
The moonlight sword seemed to accept Dante\'s apology and quickly flew back into his hand
"Good."
After saying this, he put his sword back into his space pouch before sneakily jumping onto the rooftop.
After double checking that he wasn\'t discovered, Dante dashed back to his new home...
....
In a secluded room near the royal palace,
Inside a plain room was an old man dressed in a spotless white robe.
The man seemed to be in some sort of trance and was meditating peacefully in a lotus position.
but if you looked clearly, you could sense something was clearly off with the room.
It was deathly silent.
Normally, even if a place was as quiet as possible, there was still an element of background noise.
but strangely enough, the noise in this room was completely dead.
it was almost as if all particles had come to a complete stop, creating a complete void of sound.
"Knock! Knock!"
suddenly, this eerie silence was broken by a knocking sound
"Come in!" said the meditating man without opening his eyes
As soon as he said those words, a man dressed in servant attire quickly burst into the room!
"Sir Sword Saint, there\'s urgent news!" said the servant urgently
"well go ahead and tell me, Stop wasting time!" urged the sword Saint
"Well, there has been an amazing talent at the Hidden Dragon Academy.
This monster not only managed to reach Golden Rank in all his challenges, he\'s also a Golden rank dual Awakener!"
"What?!"
suddenly the Sword Saint finally opened his eyes, revealing a gaze as sharp as a knifes edge
Even The Sword Saint couldn\'t stay calm anymore.
He himself was a dual Awakener with 2 golden rank martial spirits and even though he only had purple rank cultivation talent, His two golden rank martial spirits were the major thing that allowed him to reach this far.
If there was a genius with Two golden Rank martial spirits, Golden Rank physique and Golden Rank talent...
Even the Sword Saint had to be wary of what kind of monster he could become in the future.
\'This is serious matter...\' the sword Saint couldn\'t help but think about the serious implications of this matter.
he quickly turned to the Servant and instructed.
"Go and arrange a meeting for me with King Raiden early tomorrow morning"
"Such a talent can either be the benefit or fall of our kingdom! We can\'t afford to manage this wrong!"
hearing the seriousness in The Sword Saint\'s voice, the servant didn\'t even hesitate and asked quickly left to carry out his instructions.
As The servant left, the sword Saint fell into thought.
\'Truly a heaven-defying talent! If we can use him properly, the benefits he could bring to the kingdom would be unimaginable!
On the other hand, if we can\'t control such a talent, I\'m afraid I\'ll be forced to end...\'"Knock! Knock!"
before The Sword Saint could even finish his dark thoughts, he was interrupted by yet more knocking at his door.
The Sword Saint was starting to get frustrated at the repeated interruption of his thoughts and shouted,
"what do you want again! I swear I told you to go and- "
"Erm.. I think you\'ve got the wrong person."
As The Sword Saint was speaking his thoughts, a hooded figure entered the room and interrupted him
Stunned by this new development, the sword Saint asked,
"Who...who are you?"
the hooded figure laughed as he pulled down his hood, revealing a devilishly handsome face we were all familiar with by now
The person was, of course, none other than Winton!
