Although Butterfly had the instincts of a wild beast, she was a simple-minded person. Unlike Kaede Sato, she didn't have as many thoughts in her mind. Furthermore, her impression of the Dragon's Reverse Scale was nothing more than a random item given to her by her mother. She didn't have much use for it.
Now that 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. After weighing the pros and cons in her mind, she suddenly felt that she had gained a huge advantage.
"Good, good. You are such a good person."
Therefore, when Kaede Sato proposed to exchange the chest of shiny things for the Dragon's Reverse Scale, the little money-grubber Butterfly didn't think too much and quickly nodded in agreement.
Before Kaede Sato could reply, Butterfly snatched the chest of shiny things from Kaede Sato's hand and threw the Dragon's Reverse Scale to Kaede Sato. She hugged the chest tightly, as if she was afraid that Kaede Sato would go back on his words.
Once the Dragon's Reverse Scale was in his hands, Kaede Sato didn't care about Butterfly's reaction. He immediately stored the Dragon's Reverse Scale into his Space Equipment. He then smiled at Butterfly who looked like she was guarding against a thief, and quickly disappeared from her sight with the Swamp Monster.
A dozen seconds later, Kaede Sato was already leisurely walking about a hundred meters away from Butterfly's stall. He even used the Polymorph Monster to change his appearance to that of a passerby. In addition, he was wearing the Rocket uniform, so he didn't stand out at all in the crowd of people wearing the Rocket uniform.
Now, even if Butterfly wanted to go back on her words, it wouldn't be easy for her to find Kaede Sato. Of course, even if she came to find him, Kaede Sato wouldn't spit out the meat in his mouth. If he couldn't beat her, he could just run.
Kaede Sato used a chest of gold, silver, and jewels to exchange for the priceless Dragon's Reverse Scale from Butterfly. He was in a good mood, and even though he tried his best to hide it, his slightly raised lips still hinted at his good mood.
"I didn't expect to get this opportunity so easily. Sure enough, knowing yourself and your enemy is the key to victory. Butterfly's weakness is that it likes shiny things. The other party is half a dragon princess. In the future, I may be able to obtain other things useful for the growth of the dragon sprites through her."
Afterwards, Zuo Tengkaede, who was in a good mood, began to think about how to obtain more benefits from Die.
However, Kaede Sato's good mood only lasted for a short period of time. Not long after he came out of the internal trading market, on a secluded road back to his temporary dormitory, he met someone who made him feel uncomfortable.
That's right, the person who could make Sato Tengkaede feel uncomfortable was the transvestite Lanka whom he had met before. For some unknown reason, this transvestite who was dressed sexily stopped Sato Tengkaede on the road.
Kaede Sato was not interested in this kind of person who was neither male nor female, even if the other party looked very pleasing to the eye. After learning that the other party was a transvestite, he, who had normal values, only felt that the other party was very perverted and disgusting.
Not everyone could accept a Transvestite. Kaede Sato who grew up in the countryside and was very conservative in his thinking, couldn't stand this kind of horrible creature.
"Is there anything? If there's nothing, please make way. "
Since he was suddenly stopped, Kaede Sato naturally did not give the other party any face. He immediately asked with a cold face. At the same time, he inadvertently put his hand on the Elven Belt on 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 blind spot of the surveillance. Obviously, the other party did not have any good intentions by choosing to stop him here.
For a moment, the vigilance in his heart increased greatly. His pair of eyes that were originally filled with joy instantly turned cold and sharp. He stared intently at the beautiful transvestite in front of him who was currently revealing a brilliant smile. If the other party made any rash moves, he would immediately strike first to gain the upper hand.
"Mr. Sato, don't be nervous. My name is Lanka. I just want to make friends with you."
When Lanka saw that Kaede Sato was suddenly alert, he immediately thought highly of Kaede Sato. However, the bright smile on his face did not change. He still smiled and said to Kaede Sato in a feminine voice.
As the most valued subordinate of Rocket's leader, Athena, Lanka naturally had an intelligence network that surpassed the average Rocket members. It did not take him long to successfully obtain information on Kaede Sato and most of the contestants in this stage of the tournament.
Of course, Kaede Sato's current identity was classified as top secret. Only a few people in Sakaki's faction knew about it. The information Lanka obtained was only old information about Kaede Sato without any background.
Therefore, Lanka currently only regarded him as a Rocket soldier with no background but with some strength. Naturally, he felt disdain for a bumpkin like Kaede Sato.
However, at this time, Kaede Sato's awe-inspiring aura and sharp reaction made Lanka look at him in a new light. The contempt in his heart lessened a lot.
While speaking, Lanka did not forget to flirt with Kaede Sato. He directly gave Kaede Sato a few charming winks.
At this time, Lanka changed from his previous black dress to another aqua blue dress. He also wrapped a lace scarf around his neck to cover his most eye-catching male features.
It can be said that if Kaede Sato did not discover the secret that Lanka was a man, he would never believe that this beautiful person with a feminine voice in front of him was actually a man.
However, now that Kaede Sato knew the truth and saw Lanka trying her best to seduce him with her beauty, his stomach suddenly felt nauseous and disgusted.
"I see, Brother Lanka. I'm very honored to be able to meet a powerhouse like you who is ranked among the top in this newcomer's competition. But I'm very late now. We'll be going to the mysterious island tomorrow. I'd better go back and rest early."
Kaede Sato endured the nausea coming from his stomach. He barely squeezed out a smile and then said to Lanka in a flat tone.
Of course, although he said that, his eyes were still cold and sharp. His attention was completely focused on the other party.
From Kaede Sato's words, Lanka immediately knew that Kaede Sato already knew his true identity and "real" identity. When he thought of his flirtatious behavior in front of Kaede Sato, his bright smile suddenly froze.
"There's no hurry. We'll be leaving at least at noon tomorrow. Mr. Sato, since we're already friends, I won't beat around the bush. I came to find you this time because I hope you can give me the thing you just got from Miss Die. Of course, in exchange, you can gain my friendship. I can guarantee that you can smoothly pass this competition."
But Lanka was indeed a person who dared to break the gender restriction. He had a strong psychological quality. He quickly covered up the awkwardness and still smiled at Kaede Sato as he told him the purpose of his visit.
In fact, Lanka had been coveting the dragon's reverse scale on Die's stall for a long time.
After all, he had a Dragon-type Quasi-divine Beast like the Two-Headed Tyrannosaurus. Naturally, he had done a lot of research on how to cultivate a Dragon-type Quasi-divine Beast. Therefore, he easily discovered the value of the dragon's reverse scale on Die's stall.
Die's status in the Rocket was no less than Lanka's. Her strength was even higher than his. Therefore, Lanka couldn't use threats or force to make Die go against him. He could only obediently trade with Die.
However, Die's trading method was too strange. A transvestite like Lanka couldn't escape Die's eyes. Die also didn't like Lanka, who was neither a man nor a woman. She directly refused to trade with him and even called him a pervert.
Regarding this, Lanka was naturally furious. However, he couldn't do anything to Die. After all, in terms of status and strength, he couldn't take advantage of Die. Therefore, he could only reluctantly give up.
But what he didn't expect was that not long after he pinched his nose and left, Kaede Sato, a Rocket member with "no status or background", actually used a box of gold and silver to trade for the dragon's reverse scale from Die.
As a result, Lanka's mind started to become active. He couldn't deal with Die, but he was confident that he could deal with a Rocket member like Kaede Sato, who had "no status or background".
Although the information showed that Kaede Sato was a powerful trainer who had defeated a Violent Carp Dragon on the sea alone, Lanka still didn't take it to heart.
He believed that as long as he revealed his identity and gave Kaede Sato some benefits, the other party would obediently submit like many other Rocket members who wanted to curry favor with him.
