The muscular man named Fuze stared at this scene with mouth open. He was stumped to see the three Tribe Elders showing respect to an unknown young man! What kind of situation was this? Surely, these were their elders in the Wildscale Tribe, right?

Jin Rou, on the other hand, couldn't help but wryly smile. The three elders showed at the right moment, clearly knew how to read the situation first before acting up.

Louise was also surprised to see this. After all, she had heard of the arrogance the wild tribes of Infinite Sea Region had. Perhaps, they had seen Jin Rou's strength and estimated that their tribe couldn't afford to offend him.

The three elders were still bowing before Jin Rou. Afraid that this wasn't enough, they slowly came down to their knees.

"Alright, that's enough." Jin Rou waved his hands. These elders were making things awkward, "I will spare his life, but I want you to give him a satisfying punishment for me. Of course, if you can't do it, then I personally will."

Louise's hunch was right. Although the elders couldn't see through the actual real strength of Jin Rou, they had a treasure which could tell them if a target was someone they could afford to offend. It was all a matter of tricks and methods.

"Rest assured, Young Friend. We will imprison Fuze in the Cold Prison for 30 days and will decrease his potential." One of the Tribe Elders named Zhao smiled and explained.

The Cold Prison was the worst prison possible for anyone of the Wildscale Tribe. After all, cold was their very weakness. Here, even the strongest Wildscale Tribe member couldn't help but shiver and be in a weakened state.

As for the matter of decreasing one's potential, the tribe had a heirloom treasure for that.

"You're kidding me, right?" Fuze revealed a horrified expression. Of course, he knew about the Cold Prison. It was just a tad better than the death sentence as you would be kept alive. However, the nightmarish cold was something that not any of the Wildscale members wanted to experience in their lifetime.

"Fuze, you have brought this upon yourself." Elder Xu wanted to save him, too. However, he was powerless to do so. After all, Fuze was very close to him and didn't want him to suffer much.

But the elders couldn't put their tribe at risk just because of one person. As the high ranking elders of the tribe, they had to be reasonable and decisive.

Jin Rou nodded. He was satisfied about this punishment, "Alright, we have settled this so we can part ways."

The elders hurried to say, "Young Friend, how about you pay our place a visit? There might be things that will be on your liking."

"If you're talking about that treasure hidden deep within the very core of this island, then I guess that might really be on my liking." Jin Rou chuckled and teased the elders.

Hearing this, the elders revealed a terrified expression and their guards suddenly rose and alert. No one except them and the Chieftain had the knowledge about where the treasure was exactly at. Yet, this young man knew. This was bad news for them.

"I'm just kidding with you." Jin Rou laughed, "If I really want to have that item, do you think that you will be standing in front of me now?"

The elders pondered this for a moment and found this made sense. Jin Rou wouldn't bother talking to the elders if that's what he wanted. After all, it would just be a waste of time and energy. Instead of talking to them, he might as well get to that place immediately and retrieve the treasure.

As for what type of treasure that was, it was the kind where even the super powerhouses of this realm would fight over. It was an item that could lead a war.

"But I'm telling you, you better keep that item in the dark. Or else, you will find yourself in a serious situation that you might not be able to resolve." Jin Rou warned them. They were keeping such a treasure for themselves for such a long time now.

"Rest assured, Young Friend." Elder Xu smiled, "The item will always be kept a secret. That item is very important to us as it is our very foundation. We cannot afford to lose it."

"Alright, tell me the real reason why you want me to visit your place." Jin Rou knew that they had a special reason to risk him visiting their place.

"The truth is our Chieftain wants to meet you personally and privately." Elder Xu answered, "As for the reason why, we don't know. She just wants to meet you."

Jin Rou nodded, "Okay, since I'm curious what might be the reason, take me to your Chieftain."

---

Wildscale Chieftain's Chamber. It was the most secretive place of the entire tribe. No one, unless permitted, was allowed entry no matter how urgent it was.

"It is nice meeting you, Young Friend." Jin Rou was greeted by a melodic voice coming from a short distance.

He looked closely and found out that there was a very beautiful woman sitting on a throne made of diamonds. She was very seductive and one look could make any man fall in love for her.

However, for Jin Rou who was used to seeing beauties, this wasn't effective at all. He found himself a chair and sat down and asked, "I heard from your elders that you wish to meet me. Now, I'm here. What might be the great reason of you that you even required my presence?"

"So straightforward, I like it." The Chieftain smiled as she looked at Jin Rou with admiration, "But relax, before we start with the main issue, how about we have a tea while talking?"

She didn't wait for Jin Rou's response as she gave a signal. Then, maids appeared with a pot of tea kettle and teacups holding in their hands. Next, they gracefully poured each cup the tea and put the them into their respective places.
