"It doesn't matter to me what you want to be. That's not the reason why we can be together. "
Kardashian was still as calm as ever. Even so, her temper was much better than before. Basta already had the misconception that she was just testing him, and now he was even more convinced. He continued, "But without resources, what can you do in the future? Do you really think these low-level things of humans are useful? "
"I just saw the magic circles on your table … Kardashian, don't tell me that these are really what you are researching now?"
Basta really couldn't understand. "What's the use of studying those low-level magic circles? Kardashian, don't you see the reality? How many of those things in Roddy's hands are stronger than the Dragons? "
His attitude could be said to be sincere. "Think about it carefully! Apart from your brother Alva, how many people in the Frost Dragon Race are stronger than me? In the future, I will eventually occupy the seat of an elder, but what about you? Are you satisfied with the title of 'Honorary Elder'? I don't want to see you give up like him! Look at Essien. Does he look like he can stand up again? "
At this point, Basta finally revealed part of his thoughts. Kardashian raised her eyebrows. "What Essien thinks is his business. Aren't you worrying too much?"
The sudden tough answer made Basta more certain of Essien's identity. He clenched his fist and tried to calm his tone. "Okay, okay, let's not talk about him. I only care about you now … Kardashian, I really hope you can consider it. "
After this sentence, the atmosphere between the two became silent. Basta couldn't figure out what she was hesitating about. He took the initiative to soften his attitude and whispered, "If you really like to research these things here, I won't stop you. Whatever you need, I will try my best to find it for you … Okay?"
"Tell me, what do you want?"
Kardashian's question was as straightforward as ever. This time, Basta plucked up his courage and tried to hold her hand. "Of course, I hope to be with you …"
He didn't get to finish, because Kardashian took a step back, avoiding his fingers as he tried to wrap his fingers around hers.
"You mean … you only need me to be with you in secret, but I won't tell my father about it. And you won't admit this kind of relationship in a formal situation, right? "
Kardashian looked at him and said word by word, "And you think that as long as you provide me with a certain amount of resources, I will agree to your condition?"
Logically speaking, that was exactly what Basta was thinking. But he wasn't a fool. Hearing Kardashian's tone, he knew that she wasn't in a good mood. So he hurriedly tried to salvage the situation, "No, no, no, I just hope that you can live a better life, and not waste your time here … Of course, love is not built by these material things, don't misunderstand …"
"In other words, you want me to be your secret mistress, right?"
Kardashian narrowed her eyes and finally couldn't help but ridicule, "If you want to deny it, then answer my question directly — will you tell my father about it?"
Basta's forehead was full of sweat. He really didn't expect that the other party would make the question so sharp. In the past, he didn't even have the chance to chat with Kardashian, so his impression of her was only "violent" and "unreasonable". But now, Basta found that even if the other party didn't throw a tantrum, it was enough to force him into a dead end.
How to answer now? If he said "will", it meant that he might really marry such a "useless" wife — Although Kardashian's appearance and figure were excellent, if he really did so, Basta would definitely be laughed at by his friends for the rest of his life. For a Dragons who thought that they had a bright future, this was equivalent to "ending the line" … Because no matter how beautiful Kardashian was, it would be useless if she couldn't give birth to a strong offspring.
Just this alone was enough to deny everything.
But if he answered "won't", it was equivalent to directly blocking the road. Basta had coveted Kardashian's body for a long time, how could he give up so decisively?
"I, I mean —"
"Say no more, your hesitation is your answer." Kardashian sneered, "You want to possess me, but you are not willing to bear any responsibility. You only want to pay some insignificant resources to settle everything …"
She who had been whispering suddenly raised her voice, "So you think I'm the same as those human women who have been deceived by you? You want me to be your mistress with just a few sweet words and an illusory promise? "
The two of them did not set up a soundproofing array when they came to the room, so their words were heard clearly by the other eight Dragons in the main hall. Rubens was originally staring at the ground and panting, but when he heard what she said, he could not help but burst out laughing …
Stika also smiled bitterly and covered his face. Iscar and Essien were expressionless, but they looked a little embarrassed as they picked up their cups and took a sip of water. In the past five minutes, they basically did not speak, because Aglais and the others in front of them kept showing off the recent changes in the various Dragon Territories.
Needless to say, these topics were obviously meant to disgust Iscar and the others. After all, the Dragon Territories were located deep in the mountains. After they lost the Dragon Crystal, even if they used a transport plane, it would be difficult for them to reach such a place. In other words, Iscar and the others would probably never have the chance to see it again.
The few of them were feeling depressed, but Kardashian's words broke the atmosphere. Seeing Rubens laugh, Aglais could not help but frown, "What's so funny?"
"Isn't it funny?" Rubens asked, "Has Basta been in the human world for too long that he has forgotten who he is?"
"He wants to trick Kardashian into becoming his mistress, haha … forgive me for not being able to control myself, but he is really too naive," Stika sneered. "He didn't drink with you today, did he? Is his brain in the Dragon Territories? "
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Aglais's expression turned cold. "Forgive me for being blunt, but does Basta not have the right now? Kardashian has already fallen to such a state. It is her fortune to have someone willing to protect her! "
These words sounded a little like they were going to shed all pretense of cordiality. Stika, who was still laughing, took a deep breath and raised his eyebrows to glare at them. "Oh, so you mean … we are very unlucky?"
"That's not it," Black Dragon Herrlöw's voice rumbled. "The status of the elders is still incomparable to ours, isn't it?"
