Chapter 2266 Tell More

As Eagon came down with the other two elders, they understood that in the overall cultivation realm, they were also behind. After all, Kentucky, Rean, and Roan were all in the Late Stage, while Eagon's side had only one at that level. Nonetheless, they were close to their clan, so their formation can still provide support even though they aren't exactly inside.

Eagon landed in front of the twins and looked at Old Worm. "Jakiro, what is your relationship with these friends?"

Old Worm didn't lie, although he also didn't tell what mattered. "They are also from the Mortal Realm, just like me."

Jakiro narrowed his eyes, understanding that Jakiro wasn't telling everything. Nonetheless, he didn't insist. After all, his side was in the wrong from the start. He then looked at Rean, Roan, and Kentucky, who obviously still had their different appearances and names. "First, let me apologize for our actions. It is true that I thought you were some easy prey. However, I was the only one who knew about this plan. The elders here with me already reprimanded me for causing such a huge trouble to our clan, so I hope you don't take it on our clan as a whole." He wasn't lying. He just wanted a reason to help his daughter, so he didn't really tell anyone about the attack on the twins.

Rean took the initiative. "I know. Jakiro here told us about the fact you wanted to help your daughter because she stole Rank Seven Divine Stones from the clan to elope with a boyfriend or something like that. I don't really care that much since you were simply a father trying to save your daughter from punishment. That's understandable. However, I truly don't approve of your methods. You are spoiling her too much. If anything, we should have just killed everyone and left, but Jakiro here is a friend. He insisted he wanted to see his contract fulfilled since you truly helped him by bringing him and Mia to the Realm of Gods. For that, we also owe you, so we are even."

Rean then pointed at Old Worm. "However, we don't plan to let you keep Jakiro doing your bidding anymore. That said, we want to buy out his contract with you. As long as it is a fair price, we will pay. It shouldn't be an issue for you. After all, a clan of this size has many other Void Tempering Realm cultivators. You can just put someone else in his role. What do you say?"

Old Worm quickly added. "Don't forget Mia."

"Oh! Right!" Rean nodded. "We want his contract and also Mia's. Well, Mia is only at the Elemental Transformation Realm, so it should be even less of an issue to you all."

The two elders near Eagon nodded, satisfied. If they could prevent getting on the bad side of three Elemental Space Realm experts by simply selling the contracts, that was more than welcome. It was like Rean said. They had plenty of people at Old Worm and Mia's levels to replace them. They quickly used their Divine Sense to talk to Eagon. 'What are you waiting for? Just ask some small price they won't mind paying and get rid of those two. Your daughter can counter her blessings that they will settle things up with just this bit.'

Eagon narrowed his eyes in response. "I can't do that."

"What?!" Let alone the twins' group, even the elders of his clan were shocked by his answer."

"Eagon, what is the meaning of this. Just bring those contracts out already!" One of the elders behind him immediately ordered. Well, authority-wise, he and Eagon were elders, so he didn't have the right to order Eagon to do anything.

"Shut up! This is my problem. I only called you here to make sure the situation wouldn't escalate into a fight," said Eagon. 

"Eagon, you..." Naturally, the guy didn't like his attitude at all.

Roan stepped forward while releasing his Divine Energy pressure. "Why can't you do that? What reason is there for you to insist on keeping Jakiro by your side. He is a friend of mine, and I don't plan to simply leave without a very good reason."

Even the elder with the Late Stage Elemental Space Realm cultivation was frightened by that. Roan's pressure far surpassed anything he could do with his own cultivation. It was obvious that Roan could fight those far above his level. They are just beside the clan, so they are confident they can escape into the formation. Nonetheless, it truly wouldn't be wise to make enemies with someone like that. 

Eagon obviously understood the same thing, but he kept his countenance, not showing any fear. "I can give you their contracts. In fact, I can even give the contracts away for free. However, I have a condition."

Rean sighed and patted Roan's shoulder, which stopped releasing his pressure. "A condition, uh? Very well, it would still be considered a business deal. As long as it is nothing outrageous, it shouldn't be an issue. However, you should take into consideration the price of a contract for a Late Stage Void Tempering Realm ten thousand years of service once you state your condition."

Eagon nodded and used Divine Sense to talk to the twins' group. 'It's about the Mortal Realm. I need some help with an investigation related to Jakiro himself. You are his friend, right? I'm pretty sure he will like to do it as well.'

Rean and Roan looked at Old Worm, puzzled. Yet, Old Worm was just as lost as the twins. 'Don't look at me. I have absolutely no idea what he is talking about,' he said through a Divine Sense message. 'Since when am I that important?'

Rean and Roan then looked back at Eagon. 'An investigation in the Mortal Realm regarding Jakiro...?'

Eagon nodded. 'Yes. To be more specific, it is an investigation regarding the Sunkan Planet, in which he was one of its strongest cultivators.'

That surely caught the twins' attention. 'Oh-ho... Tell us more.'
