Chapter 1081 The Unyielding
Triston Kristian and Anabel’s expressions changed ever so slightly. They didn’t know that when Dante
came to talk to Triston, they were discussing this matter – he actually wanted to find the Ingenious
Needles before Gerald regained consciousness! Well, that’s fine, but delays could lead to changes.
Ingenious Needles are valuable enough to make the Eight Forces fight tooth and nail for them. Now
that Gerald’s activities on Promise Island have been exposed, many people are likely eager to find out
what exactly Gerald is up to.
Once it was revealed that they were searching for the Ingenious Needles, the entire Eight Forces would
inevitably catch wind of it and take action. Even the people from the Nether Palace would rush over.
The allure of Ingenious Needles, which could potentially elevate the supreme peak level of Flame
Decay to the eternal level of Flame Decay, was simply too great to resist. Masters of the eternal level of
Flame Decay are the true pillars of the Eight Forces.
The reason why Infinito is widely recognized as the top among the Eight Forces is because they have
more experts in the eternal level of Flame Decay than the other Seven Forces. Moreover, there are top-
notch experts like Regina and Elder Swordsman. So, Kristian could understand why the Archaic Tribe
wanted to find the Ingenious Needles as soon as possible. However, he absolutely couldn’t tolerate the
change in the way they planned to divide the spoils. Kristian hurriedly said, “Elder Stodd, you’ve gone
too far.”
“Shut up, you have no right to speak here,” Dante said with a stern gaze. Anabel and Kristian, who
wanted to speak, both felt a chill down their spines. In the Archaic Tribe, the atmosphere was equally
strict and solemn. Kristian, who had direct relatives as Eternal Flame Decayers, could act wildly.
However, Anabel, who rose from collateral relatives, had not yet reached the eternal level of Flame
Decay in strength. No matter how talented she was, she still had to consider the feelings of the Eternal
Flame Decayers.
Upon being glared at like this, she felt somewhat hesitant to speak for a moment and could only lower
her head. Hector asked casually, “Is this what you mean? Or is this Mr. Pierce’s idea from the past
couple of days?”
Dante smiled slightly, stroking his beard and said, “Of course, I can make the decision on this matter.
Things have changed! As you all know, there are two reasons. First, our Archaic Tribe has encountered
some troubles, and most people are unable to spare the time. Second, Gerald’s identity has been
exposed, and now he is being watched by many people. We must act as soon as possible!”
Finding the Ingenious Needles, you’re only providing a blueprint, so I think getting sixty percent is too
much. Most importantly, Gerald is now unconscious and can’t participate in the search. We have an
entrance to the core area here, but it’s intricate inside, and it’s very dangerous for an Eternal Flame
Decayer to enter. With Gerald not around, my Archaic Tribe will have to send a Peak Eternal Flame
Decayer to accompany you,” Dante said with a smile.
“In other words, you’ve only provided a blueprint and a few keys, while we bear all the risks… I think us
taking sixty percent is already quite…” Dante said, his eyebrows furrowing slightly. Because he noticed
that Triston had already stood up. Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
“My friend, what do you mean by that?” Dante said calmly. “It’s not worth discussing, and besides!”
Triston calmly said, “I didn’t expect you people from the Archaic Tribe to be so shameless, going back
on your word after agreeing to the terms.”
“Hmm?” A hint of coldness flashed in Dante’s eyes as he said, “Watch your words!” “What? Are you
going to chop me with knife if I don’t do so?” Triston glared at Dante as he spoke. Dante never
expected Triston’s attitude to be so tough and uncompromising, showing him no respect at all.
As someone who had always been in a superior position, being scolded by Triston made a hint of
anger flash across his face. He said, “Kid, do you really think I wouldn’t dare to touch you? Since
I, Dante, became an Eternal Flame Decayer, there hasn’t been a single junior who has dared to speak
to me like this.” but “Don’t try to impose your rigid hierarchy on me; I’m not buying into it,” Triston said
disdainfully. “You can attack me,
I guarantee that the next second, the map to the Ingenious Needles will be burned, and no one will get
it. Let’s be screwed together!” Dante’s face turned beet red with anger, but the presence of Ingenious
Needles made him hesitate and not dare to take action.
He was strong and domineering, but he never expected to encounter someone who wasn’t afraid of
death. Dante let out a slow breath, and although he really wanted to stomp on Triston’s face, he could
only calm down and say, “I still think this distribution method…”
“Are you kidding me?” Triston sneered, holding up two fingers. “First, if Gerald doesn’t wake up, we’re
not going to look for Ingenious Needles. Second, you’fe right, we do need to renegotiate the distribution
method. You guys are so damn disgusting, trying to play us like this? You’re not the only ones with
access to the core entrance of the Promise Company. If we don’t work with you, we can work with
Infinito or the Aggro Tribe! Don’t overestimate your importance.” Dante’s expression shifted slightly, and
from his body, the aura of the eternal level of Flame Decay suddenly radiated out as he warned, “Watch
your words!”
“Damn you for telling me to watch my words!” Triston seemed to be getting angrier and angrier. He
stretched his neck out and said, “Enough with the nonsense! I know I’m no match for you. Kill me, and
we all go down together, or just shut the hell up!” “Since you guys want to betray us now, fine!” Triston
sneered. “The new distribution is seventy-thirty, seventy for us and thirty for you. If you don’t like it, end
the deal!”
Dante’s face turned somewhat purple with anger! Watching Triston’s shameless expression, he gritted
his teeth and said, “You…” In fact, starting from Dante’s perspective, his suggestion was not wrong; he
aimed to secure more benefits for the Archaic Tribe.
However, from a moral standpoint, it’s a bit too realistic and disgusting. What Triston detests the most
are people like this. Just look at him, the mission hadn’t even started yet, and the other party is already
thinking about how to reap from them.
Seeing Dante become extremely angry, Triston couldn’t help but feel a bit worried. If the old man really
couldn’t control his temper and gave him a slap, he was afraid he might not be able to withstand it! Of
course, he had the confidence. That’s because the other party was wary of the Ingenious Needles map
and didn’t dare to make a move against him.
He displayed his strong-willed side, revealing an unwavering determination, effectively discouraging the
other party from entertaining such thoughts. Of course, at this moment, a thought still surged within
him. Those who don’t belong to our tribe won’t be loyal to us! It seems that in the Archaic Tribe,
decisions are not solely made by Wyatt, the Chief of the Archaic Tribe.
Dante’s actions led to a subtle change in the way he looked at Anabel and Kristian. Dante’s aura
surged, his gaze fixed intently on Triston. Ring! Just at this moment, an alarm suddenly went off, and at
the same time, a mechanized voice echoed throughout the entire Archaic Tribe Base. Dante’s
expression changed slightly.
A hint of change appeared in Triston’s expression as well. Outside, two terrifying auras of the eternal
level of Flame Decay were rapidly approaching the Archaic Tribe Base. “Enemy attack! Enemy attack!”
The mechanized sound exploded in everyone’s ears.
Dante was momentarily stunned, then, forgot about his anger, he vanished from his seat. Inside the
City of Phoenix, there was once a courtyard belonging to the Guerrero family, one of the Four Ancient
Families. This courtyard has now been transformed into the headquarters and office center for the
Night Watch of the City of Phoenix!
Inside the headquarters, Blaine and Milo were playing chess and drinking at the same time. Off to the
side, Zackary stretched lazily and then stood up from his chair. He looked at Blaine and said,
speechless, “Jacob and I are swamped with work, yet you guys still have the leisure to play chess.”
“You guys are good at these things, but we real men are only good at fighting and killing,” Blaine said
with a smirk. Implementing reforms is fraught with difficulties, as there are just too many people who
oppose them. Those upper-class individuals, who have enjoyed generations of social privilege, simply
cannot accept suddenly being on the same level as ordinary people.
However, the Night Watch’s attitude is extremely tough, and now with the Archaic Tribe’s Eternal Flame
Decayer in charge, although there are many opposing voices, things are still going smoothly.
After dealing with a day’s worth of paperwork, Jacob began wiping down his office desk. On the office
desk, there was a piece of gray cloth, lying flat on the surface.
This piece of cloth was brought back by Gerald from the Underground Palace earlier. Initially, Valery
used it to tie herbs. Later, when they moved to this place, Gerald and the others brought their
belongings along. Jacob discovered that the size of the cloth was almost the same as the table, so he
used it as a tablecloth. “Eh!” At that moment, Jacob suddenly let out a soft exclamation, followed by a
surprised shout, “Holy crap! There’s a pattern appearing on the cloth!”
