Tales Of The Mighty Dragonair

Chapter 551 - Argument

"My master said he is willing to give you a chance with me if you agreed to make a deal with him."

Arthur's eyes widened the next instant before laughing. "Alright, I don't mind doing that but…" he paused as he turned his gaze towards the fifth tower where the lycans were. "you know, I'm not still finished here."

"Master is promising you his full support and protection," Goden said before suddenly turning to the fifth tower as he loudly shouted, "if anyone is targeting our Willy here, then he or she will be the direct enemy of our entire clan."

This bold declaration made Arthur's heart palpitate, but the next thing he heard was a loud sneer that came from the fifth tower. "There is still one hidden enemy in them," he reminded himself so he wouldn't lower his guard, "this hidden assassin is the most dangerous foe right now."

He moved his glance between the two he suspected most, but he couldn't see through the perfect acting of that enemy.

"I hope you can wait until after the competition," he said before Antony arrogantly said:

"The silver cauldron clan has already many arrows. They should be the last ones to receive their offer."

His words made Goden sneer as he said:

"At least we are the ones holding Willy's safety with quite sincerity."

"We don't need to speak and declare that to anyone," Atnony sneered back as he glanced at Arthur and added, "our red vampire clan is an ally all will crave to ally themselves with. I know Willy will realize this fact and will appreciate this stretched hand of us."

Arthur couldn't say anything but to nod in response while glancing over the rest.

"Our clan will protect you as well," Reem simply said before laughing, "after all my master is trying to make us be one big happy family."

"Using such undertactics isn't nice, y'know," Sam said in an irritated tone, "but we won't delay in supporting him if anyone was foolish enough to try and harm him."

"Thanks for your support," Arthur said in courtesy, "I'm just a bit tired and need some rest before continuing the competition. I'll make sure to meet after it ends to speak further about the deals in more detail."

"Ahem," the dean suddenly appeared beside the giants, "the next contest round will have to start instantly. We can't waste more time."

"I don't mind dropping this one," Arthur sighed, "Despite having a great pill in mind, I can't simply make it with such condition."

"Great pill?" the eyes of Goden shone brightly then he turned his gaze instability towards his tower. Arthur didn't see anything, but Goden seemed to receive some instructions before he nodded.

"My master asks for the next round to be delayed until Willy takes some rest," he turned to the other three around while expressing his thoughts.

"But…" the dean was about to speak when Reem sneered and interrupted him. "Don't misunderstand my words here, but this is a place that you have no saying at."

The dean's face changed before he turned his gaze towards the fifth tower, the lycans.

"We don't accept such a thing," the next instant a silhouette appeared while saying these words in a strong tone. He was Dolan, and Ralin also appeared the next instant behind him, silently gazing at other envoys with vigilant eyes.

"And the threat we just heard we prefer not to comment on. our competition is known since ages to be fair, and we won't accept any breaking of the rules in this one for anyone."

Arthur inwardly sneered as he knew this was simply claiming the higher morale grounds while doing the bad deeds in the shadows.

"The Silver cauldron clan approves of such modification," Goden didn't budge an inch while stating the clear stance of his clan.

"Our red vampire clan only is concerned about the time lost here," Atnony said before adding, "if the other contests can continue at the same time then we won't disagree with that."

"The golden raven clan approves of that," Reem simply said.

"The black hole clan approves of the red vampire clan stance," Sam said while Arthur moved his eyes silently between the two, feeling much puzzled.

'The two are always mimicking each other,' he muttered to himself, 'which is the ally and which is the enemy?' he was more puzzled the more he got to know the two clans and experienced their stances.

"We can accept that," Dolan simply said as the four towers united again against him, "but we need to hear the final judge about this round first."

The four envoys exchanged weird glances before laughing. "It's Willy's victory of course," Goden laughed before adding, "isn't it obvious?"

"The rules must be respected and the results should be publicly announced," Dolan didn't show any weakness as he sternly said.

Yet the next instant fog came out of five towers where the name of Willy emerged as the victor of this round.

"My master is patiently waiting for your next brilliant performance," Godan said before vanishing while others vanished with him while Reem winked before disappearing.

Arthur only remained where Dolan, Ralin, and the dean stayed eyeing him.

"Don't count too much on your luck kid," Ralin said before sneering, "soon it will run out."

"Humph."

Arthur watched the two giants vanishing while the dean retreated to the high sky. "Let other matches start," he shouted from high up before suddenly his face changed. "This…" he turned to glance towards two towers while a deep voice came from one of them:

"Did you think the lycans are the only ones interested in this ridiculous rule of yours?"

Arthur retreated after collecting everything he made and the tools he had. He went to the cauldron while his attention was attracted to the dean and his dark face. "He seems a bit pissed off, hehehe," he laughed amusingly before putting his hand over the cauldron to take it in.

"Wow, it's still… hot!" the moment he touched it he felt a stinging pain and the next moment he retracted his hands.
