Chapter 608: The Merchant’s Face Was Truly Detestable

Armand ran out of the camp full of anxiety. He completely disappeared without a trace. The only individuals left in the camp were Vincent and Kurt, who looked extremely pale, and Boris, who was standing on the spot with a blank expression after receiving a slap.

Boris thought that as long as he successfully resolved the conflict between Vincent and the Lingluo Race, he would not provoke Vincent, and he would also have the opportunity to help him gain a potential customer who was very powerful. That was why when he rushed back, he had addressed Vincent as his boss. He did not want to be misunderstood by Vincent.

However, Boris did not know that there were other members of the Lingluo Race that had provoked Vincent. It was just that the rest of the members had long been exterminated by Vincent!

Boris looked at Vincent with a puzzled face and could not help but ask aggrievedly, “Mr. Vincent, why…?”

Vincent smiled disdainfully and asked in a low voice, “I asked everyone to go and explore the surrounding situations. Why did you come back early? It seems that you did not do the mission that I had arranged for you. You have only been thinking of ways to curry favor with the high-level creatures around you!”

Boris looked at Vincent with a nervous expression. He looked away and said, “I, I have already completed your mission so I proceeded to do things that were beneficial to myself outside of the mission!”

Vincent’s expression instantly turned cold as he questioned Boris, “Then tell me, how many worlds have you visited? What races did you encounter? And within those races, were there any unusual activities?”

Boris was speechless. He looked around nervously. He simply could not find a decent excuse. In the end, he could only lower his head helplessly.

Boris sighed, “I did not complete your mission. Please punish me according to the rules of the wanderers!”

Vincent took a deep breath and eased up. He said softly, “I originally thought that you were sneaky and were the spy in the team. But now it seems that you are just a businessman blinded by greed. You have not found a strong backer and are not qualified to be a spy at all!”

Boris noticed that Vincent looked down on him and wanted to refute him, but he could not find any excuses. However, on second thought, it was a good thing that he had gotten rid of Vincent’s suspicion of him being a spy.

According to the internal regulations of the wanderers, the leader was allowed to directly punish any wanderer who was lazy and unwilling to contribute during the mission.

If the wanderer’s strength exceeded the leader’s, the other wanderers can a.s.sist in executing the punishment on behalf of the leader. If there were no other wanderers in the team, the leader can proceed to make a report to the Wanderers a.s.sociation after the mission was completed. The a.s.sociation would naturally send experts to punish the wanderer severely!

Moreover, the Wanderers a.s.sociation also had an iron law, which was that if their leader dies after the mission was completed, the remaining wanderers who came back alive would have to die to atone for their sins!

This way, the wanderers would be able to filter out those who were greedy and ungrateful as some would choose to kill their leaders in secret.

If there was a spy in the team, the leader had the right to kill the spy directly. If the leader can provide evidence to the Wanderers a.s.sociation after the mission, or if there were other wanderers who had witnessed the betrayal personally, then the leader had the authority to kill the spy immediately.

Boris understood that if he was just caught slacking off by Vincent, he would still be able to bear the punishment as his crime did not warrant death.

However, if he was labeled as a spy, then only death would await him!

Boris could not help but ask Vincent, “Mr. Vincent, I’m willing to accept any punishment, but why did you suspect me before?”

Vincent snorted coldly and said, “You’ve repeatedly inquired about my whereabouts, but you avoided me when I try to meet with you. Isn’t it because you are afraid in your heart?”

Upon hearing that, Boris quickly explained, “I’m not fearful. I just wanted to remind you…”

Boris suddenly stopped speaking and looked nervously at Vincent’s hands. His expression was as if he had seen a ghost. He was frightened and started to panic. He looked like he wanted to escape!

Vincent noticed Boris’s reaction and looked down at his hands. He suddenly thought of something and immediately turned to ask Kurt, “Did you see the individual shouting out a reminder earlier?”

Kurt thought for a while and shook his head.

He replied, “I only heard a girl’s voice, but I don’t know where the voice was coming from!”

Vincent suddenly became serious. He raised his head and asked Boris, “Why did you sell me the dragon egg?”

Boris saw that Vincent had revealed his ident.i.ty and quickly took two steps back. He knelt on the ground and begged repeatedly, “Mr. Vincent, I have neglected your orders. You can punish me as you wish, but there are some things that I beg you not to ask anymore. I will not admit to it!”

Vincent looked at Boris and a.n.a.lyzed, “Although you are a descendant of the t.i.tan Race and you seem to have great strength. You are essentially a short-sighted and thoughtless businessman. From the way you fawned over Armand, it is not difficult for me to see it! How could a petty and cowardly creature like you steal his dragon egg just to take revenge on the Dragon Race who provided you with the materials?”

Boris immediately revealed a frightened look when he heard that. He quickly covered his ears and did not dare to continue listening because he knew that he could not stop Vincent from continuing. He could only deceive himself and not listen to the rest of the story.

Vincent did not care about Boris’s reaction. He continued, “The reason why you were able to get the dragon egg was not that you wanted revenge. It was because you were blinded by greed and wanted to make a large sum of money from the dragon egg. Coincidentally, the dragon that did business with you revealed some flaws, so you were handed an opportunity. But why did you sell the dragon egg to me at such a low price? It can only mean that you have encountered some issues and had no choice but to quickly sell the dragon egg, right?”

Boris put down his hands and muttered helplessly, “It is pointless to cover my ears! I can still hear everything!”

Vincent said with a smile, “Then can you tell me now?”

Boris took a deep breath and said stubbornly, “Of course, I’ve encountered some issues. The dragon that lost the dragon egg was chasing me around like crazy. In order to escape this morning, I could only sell the dragon egg at a low price, that’s all!”

Vincent shook his head and said with certainty, “That’s impossible. I don’t think Randall pursued the matter of the dragon egg at all! The reason why you sold the dragon egg was not because of Randall’s oppression, but because of another dragon! A young dragon that is about to be born and had gained sentience!”

Vincent raised his left hand and presented the dragon egg to Boris.

The dragon egg suddenly flashed with light, and a young female voice came from within.

“You are amazing, you can guess it is me!”
