Chapter 836 Buttering Up
Although the man in a suit was strong, he was still too young to realize the sinister side of human nature.
After he was done eating the snow rat, the man in a suit continued walking. Sylvester and the rest followed closely behind. Since they had already joined forces, the man in a suit wasn’t too wary of the Cooper family anymore. Except for Sylvester, who is a Martial Arts Grandmaster, the rest of the Coopers are just Senior Grandmasters. None of them is capable of taking me down.
Along the journey, the man in a suit kept stopping in his tracks as he was walking. Besides, he kept frowning like he had a lot on his mind.
“Sylvester, what is that man doing? Why does he look so suspicious? Will he play tricks on us now that we’ve joined forces with him? If that’s the case, we’d have to leave empty-handed!” Sean grumbled while staring at the man in a suit.
Sylvester waved his hand in dismissal and argued, “You know nothing! In fact, we could be in for a treat.”
Sylvester knew the man in a suit was after the legendary dragon. If we can find the dragon, then draconic essence will be ours! In that case, this trip is going to be fruitful!
Most of the people on Dragon Island were actually after beast cores and herbs instead of draconic essence. After all, it was just a myth. One would count himself extremely lucky to even bump into a dragon.
As Sylvester and Sean were talking, the man in a suit whipped out a compass-like object from his pocket. He then mumbled something and infused the compass with lethal intent.
After that, the needle on the compass started spinning frantically before stopping gradually. The moment the needle stopped spinning, the compass emitted a cloud of black smoke toward the direction the needle was pointing at. Almost instantaneously, the smoke disappeared.
As soon as the man in a suit saw that, he grinned and ran in that particular direction.
Seeing that, Sylvester waved his hand and instructed the others, “Let’s follow him!”
Meanwhile, Jared, Josephine, and the others were referring to a map while heading toward the location where they could possibly find Ice Dragon.
Since the white wolf was with them, the three girls didn’t feel bored at all. When they got tired from walking, they’d just ride the white wolf. Perhaps because of the white wolf’s stench, they didn’t encounter any wildlife along their journey.
“Renee, are you cold? I can give you my clothes!”
“Renee, are you hungry? My subordinates brought chocolates along! They can replenish your energy!”
Along the way, Josephine and Lizbeth were full of envy because Colin was very caring toward Renee.
“Colin, I’d love to have some chocolates as well. Aren’t you going to share with us?” Lizbeth asked jokingly.
In fact, Josephine and Lizbeth just kept teasing Colin along the journey. In response, Colin took the opportunity to butter both of them up. If I can get Josephine and Lizbeth to like me, it’d be easier for me to get Renee to fall for me.
“Of course, Lizbeth! You guys can have some as well!” Colin then ordered his subordinates to distribute the chocolates.
Colin knew Dragon Island was going to be tough. That was why he got his subordinates to bring plenty of snacks to keep Josephine and Lizbeth happy.
After traveling for some distance, it got a lot colder, and most of them were shivering at that point. If they had known, they would’ve worn thicker clothes.
Josephine and the girls were hugging the white wolf tightly to keep themselves warm. Colin, on the other hand, was chilled to the bone even after putting on an extra few pieces of his subordinates’ clothes.
A while after that, Jared started walking faster when his spiritual sense picked something up. The others picked up their pace as well to keep up with him.
After running for a distance, they came across a calm and deep pond stretching for over two to three thousand square meters. The rays of sunlight were reflected on the surface of the pond.
