"Alright, since you have a way to contact your father, hand this over to him!"

Ye Luo handed a bottle to the Third Princess.

Inside it, naturally, was Essence of the Spirit Pool, which was the only resource he could squander at present.

Not to mention anything else, the quantity of this Essence he had was indeed substantial!

Moreover, this was just his initial investment. Once it’s effective, the base would certainly need to sponsor some more.

After all, this is a matter for everyone, not just Ye Luo. If the base doesn’t support it, he won’t proceed either! At worst, they’ll part ways then.

The Third Princess took the bottle in confusion, and suddenly, her eyes widened.

"My lord, this is—!"

She had seen the previous captain trading his life for a small bottle; however, the difference with this bottle was immense. This bottle was at least ten times greater than that one!

Could it be that the bottle from the previous captain was given by Ye Luo?

"Indeed. Please attend to this matter quickly!"

Upon hearing this, the Third Princess knew it wasn’t an ordinary matter, given Ye Luo had offered something so precious, it surely concerned a significant affair!

Moreover, she was born in the Holy City, naturally aware of its precious resources. A single bottle like this could likely take a Patrol Envoy’s life! This wasn’t an exaggeration at all.

The Third Princess took the bottle and went out.

Ye Luo pondered for a moment. Just relying on the Patrol Envoy might not be enough, so he immediately headed out towards the captain’s area.

Recently, he hadn’t seen the captain leaving, nor knew what he was doing within his area.

As they say, a new official brings three fires upon taking office. Initially, he set rules and patrolled; it seemed quite proper. But it only lasted a few days. These past days had been quiet, as if the captain had never appeared.

"How dare you! What are you doing here?"

As Ye Luo approached the captain’s area, a loud shout emerged from within the captain’s tent.

Ye Luo didn’t mind. After all, the captain’s strength was formidable, comparable to a Patrol Envoy. Besides, Ye Luo hadn’t intended to hide his presence; he came to discuss matters with the captain.

"Captain, I’m here to talk business!" Ye Luo said directly.

By now, the captain had exited the tent, his face still full of stubble, but his gaze upon Ye Luo was filled with disdain.

To him, Ye Luo was merely a small Guard; what business could he possibly have to talk about?

"Don’t cause trouble. If you wish to curry favor with me, forget it. So long as you guard your own area well, I won’t trouble you. But if there’s a problem in your area, I’ll certainly show no mercy!"

From his tone, it seemed as though Ye Luo’s area had faced issues.

Ye Luo shook his head and chuckled, "Captain, you misunderstood. I’m here with the intention of assuming the vice-captain role!"

Vice-captain? This statement left the captain somewhat bemused. Since when did the Guard Squad have a vice-captain?

Even if there were, how would it fall on a simple Guard? Isn’t this ludicrous?

"Utter nonsense! Where does the position of vice-captain come from? As a Guard, focus solely on guarding the Gold Silk Forest, otherwise don’t blame me for being ruthless!"

With that, his aura changed entirely, enveloping Ye Luo amidst a murderous ambiance.

"Captain, you misunderstood. How about I show you something?" Ye Luo said casually, directly handing over a small bottle.

Naturally, it was still the Essence of the Spirit Pool. He firmly believed no cultivator here could resist its allure!

Sure enough, the captain initially considered striking Ye Luo, but upon seeing the Essence, his eyes immediately widened.

He almost eagerly snatched the small bottle, quickly opened the cap, deeply inhaled a few times, and then an exhilarated expression appeared on his face.

"How much more of this do you have?" he hurriedly asked.

Ye Luo merely furrowed his brow; if this guy was one of insatiable greed, Ye Luo was sure he wouldn’t get a bit of the Essence!

Ye Luo clearly intended to discuss matters with him, yet his attitude seemed to want the Essence without paying any price! He might even consider robbing Ye Luo.

In this regard, this captain was even more foolish than the previous one!

"I may have been a bit impulsive. How about you come inside?" Sensing Ye Luo’s expression, he quickly realized something was amiss and softened his demeanor.

This way, Ye Luo could indeed enter for a discussion.

The captain’s tent was naturally far better than that of other team members. For instance, its defense against the Power of Laws was superior, far beyond their tents. Inside, one could resist the Power of Laws without using any mana.

Upon entering, the captain immediately sealed the entire tent with Great Magical Power, not a whiff of aura leaked outside.

Ye Luo narrowed his eyes; did he intend to silence him permanently?

"You’re indeed seeking death, carrying a treasure makes you guilty. Don’t you understand this? No matter, with your resources, my cultivation can advance further!"

At this point, he showed a ferocious expression.

Ye Luo sighed lightly. Originally, he intended to discuss matters with the captain. If talks went smoothly, benefits would naturally be in store for him. Now, however, this captain was entirely a foolish individual, Ye Luo certainly wouldn’t collaborate with someone like him!

If that’s the case, then Ye Luo wouldn’t be courteous anymore.

"How are preparations going at the base?" Ye Luo spread his Divine Sense to the base, sounding rather helpless.

"Rest assured, the Divine Sense of Law Enforcers can’t detect here under any circumstances!" replied a scientist.

Then it’s good! Ye Luo narrowed his eyes. So, let’s see what this captain is capable of!

"Have you made up your mind? If you hand over the resources, I might spare your life!" the captain said aggressively.

Ye Luo sighed lightly, "Your cultivation doesn’t rely on resources!"

The captain paused, subconsciously asking, "Then what does it rely on?"

"On your intellect. No matter how much you cultivate, you’ll mostly hit a ceiling because your intelligence limits your progression!"

"Seeking death!" Upon hearing this, the captain flew into a great rage!

Indeed, his intellect and emotional quotient were lacking, otherwise with such cultivation, why would he remain a captain and not a Patrol Envoy!
