Chapter - 3322

"Everyone, please leave. Wouldn't it be a waste of my good intentions if you didn't?" Zeke said with a chuckle.

Bianca smiled after hearing that.

"Arrogant fool!"

Draco also let out a long sigh. "If there is a chance to return, I will surely hold a victory feast for you, sharing with you the fine wine I've treasured for many years."

"All right. Let's hurry up and go." Zeke nodded in agreement.

Draco gave a soft hum, bowed respectfully toward Zeke, and then swiftly gathered Bianca and the remaining few human elites who were left behind. They quickly departed.

As they were leaving, Bianca's anxious voice echoed. "Zeke, you must return!"

Upon hearing the sound, Zeke shook his head and gave a bitter smile.

Although Bianca was indifferent toward Zeke and called him an arrogant fool, she still showed him concern while departing.

However, that was not the time to think about that.

Cloud Tiger had shifted its menacing gaze over. "Puny humans. It's time to fulfill your promise."

"What's the rush?" Zeke held the little Cloud Tiger tightly in his arms, not letting go in the slightest.

"D*mn it!" Cloud Tiger's eyes turned a fierce shade of crimson in an instant. IT roared angrily, "You bunch of cunning b*stards. I knew it wouldn't be easy to strike a deal!"

Zeke gave a slight nod, indicating his agreement.

"You're proud of something you should be ashamed of. Is this what humanity is?" Cloud Tiger's nostrils flared, emitting white steam.

"No. I can only say that we're even." Zeke laughed heartily. "Tell me. If I were to release the little Cloud Tiger, would you let me go?"

Upon hearing that, Cloud Tiger hesitated for a moment before nodding. "Of course."

However, it was precisely because of that moment of hesitation that Zeke understood that the opponent would not let him go.

"I only want one thing. Whether you let me go or not is irrelevant. Just hand over the item to me. A fair trade is all I ask for." Zeke didn't beat around the bush anymore. He spoke directly and decisively.

"You despicable insignificant being. If you push me to my limits, there's nothing I won't do!" Cloud Tiger said coldly.

Ha! Zeke dismissed it with disdain in his heart. If that were truly the case, you would've taken action long ago. Clearly, this little Cloud Tiger holds a high position among the Cloud Tigers, which is why the other party is willing to negotiate with me. Otherwise, a negotiation wouldn't have been an option.

"Give me your blood essence, and I'll immediately release this little Cloud Tiger!"

Blood essence was one of the most important things for a demonic beast.

It had numerous benefits, including enhancing one's abilities and more.

Even the blood essence of an ordinary demonic beast could fetch a considerable price at auction, let alone this Cloud Tiger before him which possessed spiritual intelligence.

"Puny human." Cloud Tiger narrowed its eyes. "Don't play any tricks. If you don't fulfill the agreed conditions, I won't hesitate to use force!"

For the sake of the little Cloud Tiger, it surprisingly agreed without much thought. Perhaps part of the reason was his belief that he could retrieve the blood essence.

"All right." Zeke nodded.

Upon seeing that, Cloud Tiger opened its mouth.

A droplet of pure, fresh blood congealed in its mouth, resembling a red crystal.

The Cloud Tiger merely exhaled gently, and the blood essence was delivered right before Zeke.

Zeke gazed at the exquisitely beautiful crystal blood essence, his breath slightly hitching as he caught it with one hand.

An immense power continuously reverberated within the drop of blood essence.

It seemed Cloud Tiger wasn't being deceptive.

"Little Cloud Tiger," Zeke looked at the little Cloud Tiger, his face full of smiles. "Don't hold a grudge, okay? After you go back, seek revenge on Octantis. I have great respect for your kin. I've advised Octantis not to lay a hand on you guys time and again, but unfortunately, I couldn't stop him."

Little Cloud Tiger had initially acted docile, but upon hearing Zeke's declaration of setting it free, its demeanor abruptly turned fierce. A glint of ferocity emerged in its eyes.

"Rest assured. None of them could escape!"

"What?" Zeke's heart shuddered. This little Cloud Tiger could actually talk.
