Chapter 1003: Scared Dragon.
For example, just earlier, Money Speed and Forced Exchange had seen the dragon from afar. The dragon also saw them.After the dragon saw them, it turned around to run. Seeing this, Forced Exchange said to Money Speed with an anxious tone, "Chase it."
Money Speed gritted her teeth in hesitation, but she decided to spend some of her divine merit points to enhance her speed with her Divine Metac. Then she gave chase to the dragon.
She was faster than Forced Exchange, so she left him behind quickly as she went after the dragon. Unfortunately, despite her willingness to sacrifice her divine merit points, she still failed to reach the dragon.
All she managed to catch was the sight of many black cocoons trailing behind the dragon. Aside from that, she came up empty-handed in her pursuit.
After she lost track of the dragon, she stomped her foot into the ground in anger and stopped using her Divine Metac. Then she stood in place, waiting for Forced Exchange to catch up to her.
Upon reaching her, Forced Exchange asked in frustration, "You lost it."
She nodded and replied, "Obviously, I lost it."
Forced Exchange, shaking his head in fear, said, "Money Body won’t be happy about this."
Hearing this, she snorted and said, "If he wants the dragon so bad, maybe he should come here and search for it himself. We’ve done our best, and clearly, our best isn’t good enough."
"That’s a good idea," Forced Exchange said sarcastically. "You should tell him that yourself. I’m sure that the notoriously selfish Money Body will reward you for your inspiring idea."
She ignored his sarcasm and asked, "What do you suggest we do then? This is the second time that we’ve seen the dragon and failed to catch it. I doubt there will be a third opportunity. But even if there is a third sighting, we are still likely to let the dragon escape."
Forced Exchange replied with a shrug and said, "What else can we do? There is no way for us to track the dragon, and no one can track the dragon."
"If someone could track the dragon, I would pay them whatever price they want for the information on the location of the dragon, regardless of how expensive it is. Unfortunately, there is no such convenience, so we can only continue doing our best so as to reduce how much blame Money Body will put on us."
He laughed deprecatingly as he said, "And trust me, there will definitely be some blame for us. No matter what we do, Money Body will blame us as long as we didn’t catch the dragon. Our effort can only reduce the blame and subsequent punishment. So the more we work now, the less the punishment will be later."
She knew that what he said was the truth, so she didn’t argue with him about it. In fact, even if he was wrong, she wasn’t in the mood to argue with him because there was something else troubling her.
