Tales Of The Mighty Dragonair

Chapter 541 - The Price Is So Cheap



"It\'s your fault to release your sexy aura this strong in front of such a weak will kid," Sam shook his head while Reem only harrumphed and said nothing.

"So you can offer four versions of the same pill," Dolan who was still silent all this time finally spoke, "may I ask about their effects and prices? If they are so pricey we might withdraw from this trade."

Arthur glanced at him as he calmly smiled at this old fox. 

"They all have the same effect in theory, but the strongest one can make someone get past the next level in strength in no time," he said before turning his eyes around everyone here as he added, "even if he is a master or a grandmaster… all can get this benefit from it."

Arthur noticed everyone\'s attention towards his words, but Dolan wasn\'t. "And the price?" he simply threw that rock to stir up trouble here.

"It\'s cheap for the first batch of pills," Arthur shrugged before casually saying, "I learnt of a grand plot aiming to take my life during this competition. The price for ten highest grade pills is to ensure my life is safe from the start to the end of this competition."

He paused as he cracked an amusing smile towards Dolan as he added, "what do you think? I believe there is no cheaper price than that, right?"

And the face of Dolan changed while Ralin on the side of him was shaking out of anger.

"This is just a silly joke," Reem laughed as she added, "I\'m pretty confident that the security here is tight. No one can touch a strand of anyone here in the competition, right Mr. Dolan?"

She turned to gaze at Dolan who simply nodded while returning the calm of his face. "I can assure him that no one can touch him inside the walls of the academy."

"Hmm…" Arthur acted like being hesitant while Sam said:

"I don\'t have any issue in securing you during the competition, but I can\'t let my men participate in it on your behalf."

"Sure, the competition needs to be fair after all," Goden nodded.

"Provided that you won\'t use my men in the competition for your sake, I can agree to your offer," Antony said in a cold tone.

"What if there was a breach in the competition? Someone who is crazy enough to crush all the rules to kill me?" Arthur wasn\'t fazed by the sudden turn of the talk to this undesired direction.

"If there is such a case," Reem started to take things more serious as she added, "then all the men I\'ll provide to you will be at your disposal to secure your safety."

"Mine too," Goden added.

"And I don\'t have a complaint regarding that," Sam said, and only Antony was the only one left.

"I don\'t see anything like that happening," he simply said before adding, "so I don\'t find any harm in agreeing on such terms. My men will arrive at your mansion and be at your disposal until the end of the competition."

Arthur nodded as he turned finally towards the real enemy here. "What is your say about that?" he simply asked and Dolan simply gave him a silent and deep gaze.

"As others don\'t see a problem accepting this…" he said while Ralin was glancing weirdly towards him, "so on behalf of my master I agree."

"Great," Arthur clapped his hands as he added, "now I\'ll start working on the pills once the competition is over. I do believe the large disparity in powers between me and anyone of you is the main guarantee to keep my words."

"That\'s fair," Reem smiled as she added, "but I\'m curious about the news that reached your ears. May I know more about it?"

Everyone moved their gazes upon Arthur who simply smiled mysteriously as he said:

"These are just rumors, so don\'t bother with them."

"But for you they seem true," Goden said.

"I\'m weak," Arthur bitterly said, "and so any slight rumor would make me extremely worried."

His logic was flawless but everyone knew deep down that there were more he didn\'t speak about.

"But I need another help then," he suddenly said before adding, "I\'ll take this pillar out and I hope if anyone can tell me of a way to activate a connection within it."

The next instant the ring in his hand shone and a gigantic pillar appeared the next instant crushing the roof and headed towards the distant sky.

Arthur wouldn\'t be surprised if the pillar smashed the entire mansion he was staying currently at.

"This…" Ralin\'s eye shone with bright light, "a bronzed giant pillar," Goden muttered before turning to Arthur as he said, "do you want to connect with your master?"

"Yes," Arthur nodded before adding, "it\'s weird that since coming here I lost all contact with my godfather."

"Godfather?" Reem\'s eyes shone brighter as she added, "never thought he will select you as his direct disciple… interesting."

She then turned towards Dolan and said nothing. Her eyes carried clearly the question she had in mind, and Dolan had to sigh before explaining:

"This is meant to protect the participants in the contest."

"From what?" Goden asked.

"If you are ready to pay the price, I can connect you with your master," Sam suddenly said.

"Don\'t bother," Reem casually said, "I\'ll do it for you for nothing. Tell me what do you want to say to him?"

Arthur smiled as he watched the face of Ralin getting darker. "Just tell him I need him to be here in the last competition," he paused before adding, "and it would be nice if he brought everyone here as well."

"It\'s like you are waging a war!" Ralin couldn\'t stand silent anymore as he hurriedly shouted.

"A war?" Arthur simply smiled before adding, "If you considered the brutal celebration that will erupt after me winning the grand prize then yeah, call it a war."

Arthur\'s face showed his laugh, but his gaze showed his serious and domineering stand against Ralin who replied with the same challenging gaze.
