Chapter 360 - 355: Each with Their Own Calculations
Tassera quickly left Crossroads City with Betty.
Considering the distance from Crossroads City to Watchtower Port and the need to gather dispersed personnel, Tassera brought everyone over by flight the next morning. To maintain the element of surprise, she did not make a grand entrance in Dragon Form.
Leon looked around. Besides the young Silver Dragon, Isily, and the lowest ranked Brass Dragon, Eggon—Isily had been working particularly hard lately, and Eggon was an old acquaintance who needed a chance to prove himself—the strength of everyone else was quite good. The absence of the Efreeti was due to identity issues.
"I heard you’re dealing with an Ancient Black Dragon and specifically called us here for this, is it true?" Salovis, in her human form, had grown rounder than before, suggesting how she’d been living, but still within a cute range. Leon didn’t want to interfere, after all, he was quite particular about first impressions.
Leon glanced at Tassera, guessing she hadn’t explained everything clearly to everyone, and said, "Are you scared?"
"Not scared. It’s just an Ancient Dragon, a Black Dragon at that," said Salovis bravely, being a Red Dragon, unafraid of anything as long as she hadn’t been pressed. "What I meant was, even if it’s a Black Dragon, being an Ancient Dragon, the travel and overtime pay should be triple."
"You’re always making a fuss." Leon cracked his knuckles, "Has it been a long time since I taught you a lesson? Do you feel itchy?"
Salovis stuck out her tongue.
Anglistra stood by the window, looking out at Crossroads City, and said, "It’s my first time in Crossroads City... Is it really this big, larger than Watchtower Port?"
"As a world-renowned old city, being bigger than Watchtower Port is quite normal," Leon replied.
"Do you think we could rob this place for ten million Gold Coins?" Anglistra seemed tempted.
