Chapter 808 A Massive Commotion
The task of moving a Fourth Grade dragon’s treasure made Greem extremely busy!
Wings of Azure Skies Krille had already been captured alive. To avoid any unexpected incidents, the two Fourth Grade witches chose not to stay at Tempest Keep at all. They immediately returned to the World of Adepts through the metal fortress with the barely-alive dragon.
However, before they left, the witches took a trip to the lair. In the blink of an eye, half of the hoard was gone. They had only left half for Greem after seeing how much effort he had put into the mission. Otherwise, Greem wouldn’t even have been able to get a single scrap of the leftovers.
Of course, Corpse Dragon Artest had also stuffed his stomach full of treasure before the two witches had taken their share. The size of his body made it difficult for him to use any storage equipment. As such, Artest could only use his massive stomach as a temporary storage box.
These items were his personal spoils from the battle. Even Khesuna couldn’t easily take them away from him, despite being the master.
Once all these ‘big bosses’ had left with a share of the spoils that satisfied them, the remaining half of the dragon’s hoard fell into Greem’s hands. One couldn’t underestimate the value of the hoard after having so much taken away from it. The number of resources and the variety of treasures in it was still enough for Greem to turn a massive profit.
Furthermore, the metal fortress had been a calamity to its surrounding dragons over the past few years.
In particular, in the incident with Third Grade Philippa Eilhart, Arms had shown himself and publicly stood on the side of the invaders. It had been a significant conflict at Stonetalon Mountains back then!
Now, with the eruption of this crisis, all of these past events were dug up and used as evidence.
The dragon lords cast their increasingly doubtful eyes at the young and successful Third Grade dragon lord, Arms.
Just as the dragons were planning an assault on Arms’ territory to capture and interrogate him, Arms managed to find out about the plan through his secret connections with the thunder dragons.
Arms might be a Third Grade dragon lord, but even he had become restless when he first caught news of this. If he was brought before the high-grade dragon lords, and his spoils were exposed as evidence of his wrongdoings, it was very likely that his title would be voided, and he would be imprisoned until his eventual death.
That…that was not an outcome he could accept!
After some long and laborious thought, Arms could only choose to take his wealth, Third Grade Emerald Dragon Iritina, and five low-grade green dragons to seek shelter at Greem’s place.
Iritina had initially hated Greem to no ends. In fact, she had even considered leaving Arms and establishing a place for herself in Lance. Unfortunately, this coming crisis had become a storm that swallowed everything in its way. No person and no dragon could remain uninvolved.
Iritina had the most direct connection to the disappearance of Wings of the Azure Skies Krille. If she fell into the hands of the dragons who sought vengeance or searched for information, she wouldn’t end up any better than Arms.
Just a single bite from each of the one hundred dragons serving beneath Krille would be enough to tear Iritina to pieces!
It was a dead-end situation like this one that forced Iritina to suppress her seething hatred and come to seek refuge from Greem.
