Although Butterfly had a beast-like intuition, she was simple-minded and not as scheming as Kaede Sato.
Moreover, her impression of the Reverse Dragon Scale was that it was just a random item given to her by her mother. It was useless for her to keep it on her.
At this moment, when she saw so many shiny things on the chest, her attention and thinking ability were completely focused on the shiny gold coins and colorful gems. She weighed the pros and cons in her mind, and suddenly felt that she had gained a big advantage.
"Okay, okay. You're such a good person."
Therefore, when Kaede Sato proposed to exchange the whole box of shiny things for the Reverse Dragon Scale, Butterfly, who looked like a miser, quickly nodded in agreement without much thought.
The next moment, before Kaede Sato could reply, Butterfly snatched the box of shiny things from Kaede Sato's hand and threw the Reverse Dragon Scale to Kaede Sato. She hugged the box tightly as if she was afraid that Kaede Sato would go back on his word.
Once the Reverse Dragon Scale was in his hand, Kaede Sato did not care about Butterfly's reaction. He immediately stored the Reverse Dragon Scale into his dimensional equipment and smiled at Butterfly, who looked like she was guarding against a thief. Then, he quickly disappeared from Butterfly's sight with the Swamp Monster.
Ten seconds later, Kaede Sato was already walking leisurely about a hundred meters away from Butterfly's stall.
He also used the Shapeshifter to disguise himself as a passerby. Coupled with the Rockets' uniform, he was not conspicuous at all in the crowd.
Now, even if Butterfly wanted to go back on her word, it would not be easy for her to find Kaede Sato. Of course, even if she came looking for him, Kaede Sato would not spit out the meat that was already in his mouth. If he could not defeat her, he could just run away.
Kaede Sato used a chest of gold, silver, and jewels to exchange for the Reverse Dragon Scale, a priceless treasure from Butterfly. He was in a good mood. Even though he tried his best to hide it, the corner of his mouth still revealed his good mood after obtaining the Reverse Dragon Scale.
"I didn't expect to get my hands on this opportunity so easily. Sure enough, only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you win a hundred battles. Butterfly's weakness is that she likes shiny things. She's half a dragon princess. Maybe I can get something useful for the growth of dragon fairies through her in the future. There's also the leaf of the Electroshock Wood. I was so focused on buying the Reverse Dragon Scale that I forgot about this ingredient …"
After that, Kaede Sato, who was in a good mood, started to get excited again. He was thinking about how to get more benefits from Butterfly.
However, Kaede Sato's good mood only lasted for a very short period of time. Not long after he came out of the internal trading market, on a secluded road on his way back to his temporary dormitory, he met someone who made him uncomfortable.
That's right, the person who made Kaede Sato uncomfortable was the ladyboy Ranka he had met before. For some reason, this sexy ladyboy stopped Kaede Sato on the road.
Kaede Sato was not interested in this kind of person who was neither a man nor a woman, even if the other party looked very pleasing to the eye. After knowing the identity of the ladyboy, Kaede Sato, who was normal, only felt that the other party was very perverted and disgusting.
Not everyone could accept ladyboys. Kaede Sato, who grew up in the countryside and was very conservative, could not stand this kind of terrible creature.
"What's the matter? If there's nothing else, please get out of the way. "
Coupled with the fact that he was suddenly stopped by the other party, Kaede Sato naturally would not give the other party any face, and immediately asked with a cold face. At the same time, he also inadvertently put his hand on the Elven Belt around his waist.
Kaede Sato glanced around and was surprised to find that there was no one nearby at this time, and it was also in the surveillance blind spot area. The other party chose to stop him here, so it was obvious that they did not have any good intentions.
For a moment, his vigilance increased, and his pair of eyes that were originally happy suddenly became cold and sharp.
He stared at the beautiful ladyboy in front of him who was smiling brightly at this time. If the other party made any rash moves, he would immediately strike first.
"Mr. Sato, don't be nervous. My name is Ranka. I just want to make friends with you."
When Ranka saw that Kaede Sato suddenly became vigilant, he suddenly looked up to Kaede Sato slightly, but the bright smile on his face did not change. He still smiled and spoke to Kaede Sato in a feminine and neutral voice.
As the most valued direct subordinate of Athena, one of the three major factions in the Rocket team, Ranka naturally had a channel of intelligence that surpassed the ordinary members of the Rocket team. It did not take him long to successfully obtain information about Kaede Sato and most of the contestants who came to this stage of the competition.
Of course, Kaede Sato's current identity was top secret, and only a few people in Sakaki knew about it. The information Ranka got was only the old information about Kaede Sato that had no identity or background.
Therefore, Ranka currently only regarded him as a small soldier in the Rocket team with no background but some strength. He naturally felt disdain for a bumpkin like Kaede Sato.
However, at this time, Kaede Sato's awe-inspiring aura and keen reaction made Ranka look at him in a different light, and the contempt in his heart was reduced a lot.
While speaking, Ranka did not forget to show off to Kaede Sato, directly giving Kaede Sato several charming winks.
At this time, Ranka still changed the previous black dress into another aqua blue dress, and a set of lace scarf wrapped around his neck, thus covering his most eye-catching male characteristics.
It could be said that if Kaede Sato hadn't discovered the secret that Ranka was a man before, he would never believe that the beautiful feminine voice in front of him was actually a man.
However, now that Kaede Sato knew the truth and saw Ranka trying his best to seduce him, his stomach suddenly felt nauseous.
"I see, Brother Ranka, I'm very honored to be able to meet a powerhouse like you who is ranked at the top in this newcomer competition, but I'm very late now. We're going to the mysterious island tomorrow, so I'd better go back and rest early."
Kaede Sato resisted the nausea coming from his stomach. He barely squeezed out a smile, and then said to Ranka indifferently.
Of course, although he said so, his eyes were still cold and sharp, and his attention was completely focused on the other party.
From Sato Kaede's words, Lanka immediately knew that Sato Kaede already knew his true identity and his "true" identity. When he thought of how he had acted coquettishly in front of Sato Kaede, his bright smile suddenly froze.
"There's no hurry. We'll leave at least at noon tomorrow. Mr. Sato, since we're already friends, I won't beat around the bush. I came to you this time in the hope that you can give me what you just got from Miss Butterfly. Of course, in exchange, you can gain my friendship, and I can guarantee that you can pass this competition smoothly."
However, Ranka was indeed someone who dared to break the gender restrictions. His psychological quality was strong, and he quickly covered up the embarrassment. He still smiled at Kaede Sato and told him the purpose of his visit.
In fact, Ranka had been coveting the Reverse Dragon Scale on Butterfly's stall for a long time.
After all, he had a dragon quasi-divine beast like the Twin-headed Tyrannosaurus in his hands. Naturally, he had done a lot of work on how to cultivate dragon quasi-divine beasts, so he easily discovered the value of the Reverse Dragon Scale on Butterfly's stall.
Butterfly's status in the Rocket team was no worse than Ranka's, and she was even stronger than him. Ranka could not use threats or force to make Butterfly give in, so he had no choice but to obediently trade with Butterfly.
However, Butterfly's trading method was too strange, and a ladyboy like Ranka could not escape Butterfly's eyes at all.
Butterfly also disliked creatures like Ranka, who was neither a man nor a woman. She directly and rudely refused to trade with him, and even called him a pervert.
Ranka was naturally furious, but he could do nothing about it. After all, in terms of identity and strength, he could not take advantage of Butterfly, so he could only choose to give up reluctantly.
However, to his surprise, not long after he left, Kaede Sato, a member of the Rocket team with "no background", actually exchanged a box of gold, silver, and jewelry for the Reverse Dragon Scale from Butterfly.
As a result, Ranka's mind began to work. He could not deal with Butterfly, but he was confident that it was more than enough to deal with a member of the Rocket team like Kaede Sato, who had "no background".
Although the information showed that Kaede Sato was a powerful trainer, and had the record of defeating a quasi-heavenly king Tyrannosaur at sea alone, Ranka still did not take it seriously.
He believed that as long as he showed his identity and gave Kaede Sato some benefits, the other party would obediently submit like many members of the Rocket team who wanted to curry favor with him.
