Chapter 586: The Clan of Mermaids

The arrival of the members of Clan of Mermaids made the whole tribe panic, shuddering in fear. After all, they had no scheduled or whatsoever with the clan, yet they're here. Remember, they were the governing super powerhouse of this region.

The chieftain had a bad feeling about this, and she couldn't help but think about it over and over. She immediately left the chamber with words, "I'm going to receive them. No matter what, they are still visitors."

Jin Rou smiled and followed suit. There would be an entertaining scene later on, perhaps.

Upon outside, Jin Rou told Louise, "Come with me. If you want to get stronger, you have to face many peak experts that will put you in danger. Observe the visitors later on." He was trying to make Louise get used to usual oppression of powerful cultivators.

Louise could only nod in response.

"Who is the leader of this tribe? Show yourself!" An old man shouted with a thundering voice, "Young Master Fliv has come to pay you a visit so you should be honored!"

Hearing this voice, the chieftain hurriedly said, "Hello, friends from the Clan of Mermaids. I am the Chieftain of Wildscale Tribe, Mauve. What can I do to serve you?"

There were a group of four people along with the handsome Young Master Fliv. Three old men, and one Young Master. For sure, the three were protectors of the Young Master.

Young Master Fliv, who's wearing a blue robe, observed Mauve carefully from feet upwards. Eventually, he nodded and said, "I didn't expect that the Wildscale Tribe's Chieftain is a woman. This is a surprise."

Usually, Chieftains can only be for men. After all, it was a matter leadership skills and responsibilities. Usually, tribes wouldn't let women take this kind of role. After all, women were very precious to them, and they didn't want to stress them as much as possible.

Young Master Fliv smiled and added, "Anyway, I have an important matter to discuss with you, Chieftain Mauve. So we should talk in private."

"Then please follow me, Young Master Fliv." Mauve smiled and escorted the young master to the chamber while the three protectord stood by the entrance. Clearly, they wouldn't let anyone enter.

"What is the position of that Young Master in their clan?" Jin Rou asked Louise. Perhaps she knew a thing or two about him.

"Young Master Fliv is one of the favorite sons of the current Poseidon. Aside from the eldest brother, he also has the highest chance of becoming the next Poseidon." Louise slowly explained the details she knew, "However, I heard that Young Master Fliv isn't particularly interested in the throne, so the eldest son will surely be the next Poseidon."

The Clan of Mermaids had only one ruler, and it was the Poseidon. It was the highest position in the entire clan, and in fact, in the whole region. Being born in royalty wasn't enough to be one. A candidate should also know how to control and be accepted by Neptune, the trident used by the Poseidons since founding.

Jin Rou nodded and maximized his hearing capabilities. No matter how many sealing skills they made inside the chamber, he could still hear it one way or another.

"What business do the High and Esteemed of Young Master Fliv have with me?" Mauve asked with a smile. But deep inside, her heart was racing.

"Alright, let me get straight to the point." Young Master Fliv didn't forget to flaunt his aura and arrogance as he said, "Our clan heard that your tribe is possessing a treasure that can help immortals breakthrough. We want it."

As she thought. Mauve didn't know how was that possible someone knew of it when she was sure that everyone was tight-lipped of it, "I don't know what you're talking about, Young Master Fliv. How can a mere tribe such ours possess such a terrifying treasure?"

"Save your breath. Your lies cannot fool me." Young Master Fliv sneered, "Do you really think that with our clan's power and resources, we cannot confirm if it's real or not?"

The Clan of Mermaids had expend a lot of its resources just to confirm if it's true or not. After all, they didn't want to mobilize their force when it wasn't worth it.

Mauve's words stuck on her throat. She wanted to say something but she didn't know what to say. After all, the other party made sense.

Now that it came to this, Mauve took a deep breath and said wryly, "Young Master Fliv, if you know that treasure, then you should also know that it's very precious for us. It is the foundation of our tribe, and the gift of our Forefathers. How can I give it someone else? Wouldn't I be a sinner of my Wildscale Tribe then?"

"Chieftain Mauve, I know your concerns." Young Master Fliv smiled and explained, "That's why in exchange of the treasure, our clan will grant you the Precious Diamond Island and be our subsidiary partner. With our funds and protection, your tribe's position will soar to the great heights, making other tribes look up to you."

Chieftain Mauve didn't expect that the Clan of Mermaids would go all out just to get the treasure, so she was stumped. The Precious Diamond Island was one of the best islands under their name, and its resources were abundant to say. It was one thing to give the island, yet they were also willing to make their tribe a subsidiary partner and earn their protection and resources.

This was a very tempting deal even for the Chieftain. After all, with the overlord's backing, they could do whatever they wanted in the region.

"I will give Chieftain Mauve a bit of time to consider my offer. After all, this is too abrupt and sudden." Seeing that the chieftain was obviously tempted, Young Master Fliv was satisfied. He didn't mind waiting a bit for her decision.

On the outside, Jin Rou couldn't help but sigh. Obviously, he could also feel that the chieftain was tempted and might consider accepting the offer. If that was the case, then the Wildscale Tribe would be done for good.
