“What did you say? Give it to him?”

Hearing Edith say that she would give the treasure to Matthew as a reward, Lev Eddie exclaimed in shock.

But because he was afraid Matthew would hear, he quickly lowered his voice.

Everyone glared at him.

Mack Harold said with a serious face, “I think we can pay him something else. After all, he knows the young man from just now. What if he colluded with him to cheat us of the treasure…”

He didn’t go on, but he was pretty sure what he was about to say wasn’t going to be pleasant. It might even slander Matthew’s image.

Hild Harold immediately echoed, “Yes, you saw it just now. The Dragon Knight knew that young man.”

Brenda Romeo didn’t jump to conclusions. “What do you think, Edith?” she asked with a frown.

She did not want to give up the treasure they had found, they had spent so much effort after all.

Moreover, the Dragon Knight and the young man knew each other, which made them feel a little unfair.

“Matthew definitely didn’t know that it was that youth who came to snatch us.”

Edith looked at the group and said firmly.

If Matthew knew and planned to trick them into finding the treasure, he wouldn’t have bargained with her for so long.

“Even if that’s not the case, we cannot give the treasure away. After all, we obtained it together.”

The rejection on Mack’s face was obvious, and he wished he could write this word on his face.

“You… have no room for negotiation?”

When Edith saw how determined everyone was, her aura immediately weakened.

It was really difficult for her to show a tough attitude towards the Harold family, who were also nobles.

After all, the Harold family was not weaker than the Romeo family.

If they were to fall out now, it would not be good for both families.

When everyone saw Edith’s defeated look, they shook their heads decisively without any pity.

Brenda couldn’t bear to see her sister suffer, but she couldn’t argue with the other three.

All she could do was speak gently to Edith. “Sister, I’ll go with you and discuss this with Matthew. See if we can make it up to him with something else.”

Helpless, Edith could only nod.

After that, she lowered her head and followed behind her sister.

After arriving in front of Matthew, she did not dare to look at him.

Because she hadn’t been able to get the payment Matthew wanted, Edith felt ashamed to face him.

“Hello, honorable Dragon Knight.”

Brenda approached Matthew and bowed slightly. “Because none of my companions are willing to contribute that treasure, we intend to compensate you with other treasures.”

The Romeo family had many treasures. As long as Matthew’s request was not too excessive, they could basically satisfy it.

Matthew frowned slightly, as if he disliked their breach of contract.

“In that case, can you tell me what sort of treasure you’ve obtained?”

In the end, Matthew didn’t immediately fly into a rage, and he decided to first investigate this matter. It wouldn’t be bad if he could exchange it for a treasure of equivalent value.

Brenda answered directly, “A Tier 4 Shadow Dragon Lotus.”

Although Tier 4 herbs were expensive, it was still worth it to befriend a Dragon Knight.

However, Brenda planned to get her family involved because she couldn’t decide who this Shadow Dragon Lotus belonged to alone. If the other three were not willing, there was nothing she and Edith could do.

Matthew was lost in thought when he heard Brenda.

He felt that the name of this herb was very familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere before.

It seemed to be… the interface of the system!

Matthew immediately opened the system screen.

Heber’s information appeared in his vision.

Everything was as it had always been, but Matthew skimmed the information straight to the bottom line which listed the treasures required for the advancement.

One of them was the Shadow Dragon Lotus!

Unexpectedly, Heber had just advanced and obtained another treasure needed for advancement.

The Shadow Dragon Lotus was a high-quality wondrous item. It required ten thousand years to mature.

Getting no response from Matthew even after a long while, Brenda asked, “Honorable Dragon Knight, can we use other treasures to pay you?”

“No.”

Matthew withdrew his thoughts and said coldly, “I only want the Shadow Dragon Lotus.”

What a joke. This was the treasure Heber needed to advance. How could he give it up?

Brenda froze.

She thought Matthew might have felt like she couldn’t pay the equivalent.

Hence, Brenda immediately explained, “Honorable Dragon Knight, my payment will definitely not be lower than you think. Can you reconsider?”

Edith hid behind her sister. She felt they should have given Matthew the Shadow Dragon Lotus.

Although Tier 4 herbs were expensive, their family did not lack this one.

Moreover, giving up a Tier 4 herb to befriend a Dragon Knight was a profitable deal.

So when Brenda said she would pay the same amount, she tugged at her sister’s sleeve.

But Brenda ignored her sister because she knew what Edith was thinking.

It was indeed worth it to use a Tier 4 herb to befriend a Dragon Knight, but others did not think so.

Mack’s attitude just now showed that he did not have a favorable impression of this Dragon Knight.

“Do you want me to repeat myself?”

At this moment, Matthew’s expression gradually darkened, and his tone became extremely cold, making the pair of sisters feel as if they had fallen into an icy pit.

The Shadow Dragon Lotus was what Heber needed for its advancement. He would never give it up.

If those people were really unwilling, he didn’t mind using force to resolve it.

After all, he was not a kind person after living two lives.

In order to achieve his goals, he could use any means available to him.

“This…”

Brenda saw Matthew’s determined attitude and had a bad feeling.

She even felt that if Mack and the others didn’t give Matthew the Shadow Dragon Lotus, a battle might break out between them.

Brenda had a good impression of Matthew. He was, after all, someone who had helped the two sisters. She didn’t want to see Matthew in a fight with her companions.

And with Matthew’s determined attitude, Brenda could only turn to her companions, hoping to persuade them to give up the Shadow Dragon Lotus.

“Since you insist on the Shadow Dragon Lotus, then we can only speak with our strength.”

Mack and the other two had already heard their conversation. They immediately stood up and glared at Matthew.

So what if he was a Dragon Knight?

Would a Dragon Knight be able to snatch the treasure they found?

A Dragon Knight could ask for more rewards?

There had not been a Dragon Knight in the world for tens of thousands of years.

Perhaps this person was not a Dragon Knight at all, and his beast was not a divine dragon!

Mack and the other two felt indignant and decided to protect their interests.
