Chapter 3284Words Alone Carry No Weight Since Hamish had said as much, Cloud said nothing further.
On the contrary, Miya interjected anxiously, “They are all relatives of mine, Mr.
novelbinChevalier. This is my cousin, the son of my youngest uncle. Please make an exception this once.” “The
son of your youngest uncle?” Surprise flooded Hamish, and he carefully studied Cloud for a moment.
But still, he shook his head and murmured, “It’s not that I’m unwilling to make an exception, Miya. The
thing is, this expedition is exceedingly dangerous. I’m not one with the final say. The team consists of a
dozen people. It’s no use if I’m the only person agreeing to it. After all, cooperation is required
throughout the journey. If we were to take them along, we’d have to spare part of our energy to protect
them. No one would be willing to do that. But if the three of them could have the others concur by
showing some sincerity, I wouldn’t object.” While saying that, he sounded somewhat conflicted. It was
clear as day from his words that he merely wanted some incentive. However, he claimed that it was the
others who wanted it, making his greed evident.
No sooner had Miya heard that than she understood his meaning and immediately offered, “I’m willing
to pay five million spirit coins, Mr. Chevalier.
What do you think?” Unexpectedly, Hamish shook his head and declined, “I’m afraid no amount of spirit
coins will do, Miya. No one heading to the southern region with me is strapped for cash.” Upon learning
that spirit coins would not work, Miya inexorably frowned because she could not offer anything else
besides spirit coins, having no power to make any decisions about other resources.
“If you don’t take the Teleportation Array to the southern region, Mr. Chevalier, do you have any other
transportation?” Jared asked.
“Why would we need other transportation? As cultivators, we can easily travel thousands of miles
daily,” Hamish retorted airily.“That’s indeed true, Mr. Chevalier. However, traveling at a brisk pace takes a great toll on spiritual
energy, making it necessary to rest and recharge mid-way.
This is quite a waste of time. We have an airship and can take it all the way to the southern region. Not
only will it save energy and time, but we’ll also be able to cultivate on the airship,” Jared stated.
Hamish was briefly stunned before he exclaimed in disbelief, “You have an airship?” In response, Jared
nodded. “Of course. We came here by airship.” “Words alone carry no weight. Let me have a look at
the airship!” Hamish demanded. Jared cast Cloud a glance, upon which the latter nodded and walked
out of the living room before taking his airship out.
As Hamish stared at the airship in front of him, jubilation brimmed in his eyes.
After he had laid eyes on it, his attitude visibly changed.
“Miya, since they’re your relatives, coupled with my relationship with your father, I have no reason not
to make an exception this once. As for the others, you don’t need to worry about them. I’ll convince
them.” He happily assented to Jared and the others joining his team. Seeing that, Jared could not help
snickering. Nonetheless, there were far too many people like Hamish in the Ethereal Realm, prioritizing
capabilities and interests.
“In that case, thank you very much, Mr. Chevalier.” Having expressed her thanks, Miya got up to leave.
When she walked past Jared, she could not resist taking another look at him, for she knew that she
might never see him again in that lifetime after parting ways this time.
Jared said nothing nor reacted in any way. He believed that having her forget him as soon as possible
would be a relief to her. At the side, Kiara seemingly perceived something and saw Miya out.“Do you have some kind of relationship with that guy, Miya? I noticed that you were looking at him
differently,” Kiara asked.
Smiling, Miya shook her head. “What kind of relationship could I have with him?
Not at all.” “Oh, come on! Are you taking me for a fool? In my opinion, not only do you two have some
kind of relationship, but you both must have been intimate,” Kiara declared confidently.
