Chapter 181 - 180 Search
For Leon, the Impermanence Card wasn’t of great importance—more of a collector’s item. Regardless, it was an exceedingly precious legendary artifact, not something that could be casually discarded.
Besides, what Leon hated most was being deceived.
He couldn’t tolerate being swindled, even for a single copper coin. He still vividly remembered being cheated out of five bucks as a child in the arcade, and later boycotting a restaurant he’d frequented for half a year over an unjustified one-yuan charge, emphasizing his vindictive tendencies.
I can give it, but you can’t rob, fool, or steal it.
Leon was absolutely furious at the moment, but soon calmed down after some quick thinking.
His Impermanence Card was valuable, yes, but certainly not worth the Cloud Giant abandoning a castle and domain carefully managed over years. Frankly, that was one of the reasons Leon entrusted the card to the Cloud Giant for safekeeping—another reason being that the Impermanence Card felt like a hot potato.
Descending into the lower courtyard of the Cloud Giant’s castle, Leon surveyed the destroyed crossbow cannon, the crumbled walls, the ruins and debris—it was desolate beyond words. He was pretty convinced that the Cloud Giant hadn’t fled with his Impermanence Card but had likely fallen victim to some mishap.
Wait, don’t jump to conclusions just yet.
The treasure amassed by the Cloud Giant could also determine their rank and status, and their greed for riches rivaled that of dragons.
At the same time, the Cloud Giant wasn’t exactly noble—often obtaining treasures through theft and plunder, avidly indulging in high-risk high-reward gambling. As for rigging bets, as long as they remained undiscovered, it wasn’t considered a crime—they’d do anything.
Leon wasn’t above imagining the Cloud Giant at their worst.
