MIGHT AS WELL BE OP Chapter 1388: Nobody Liked Leeches
Previously on MIGHT AS WELL BE OP...
The Sect Master and Core Elders immediately began making plans in their heads. They wanted to employ people from the Runic Will Pavilion and the Heaven Sealers Association, but they felt reluctant to do so. After all, what if these people left holes within whatever Formations and Runes they created, only to rob them months or even years later?
After all, given the ridiculous lifespans everyone possessed, what was the significance of waiting a single year, or even a decade? It was no different from waiting a couple of hours to them.
Although one might argue that they would be risking their reputations and everything else by carrying out such an act, did it really matter? After all, the treasures were incredibly valuable. Besides, if anyone accused them of such an act, they would have to prove it first. Otherwise, they would have to answer to the Runic Will Pavilion and the Heaven Sealers Association.
Their eyes shifted towards Anthony. They had seen him create a Runic Formation on the spot when the one they had used to test the Laws he possessed resonance with had shattered.
But could they really rely on him for everything? Of course, they could shamelessly do so, but at the end of the day, they had to pull their own weight instead of becoming full-time leeches. Even if Anthony was ridiculously powerful, abnormal, and could probably do anything and everything, nobody liked leeches, regardless of whether they were the founders of their family
Could they really ask him to do this despite Anthony having already provided them with such an enormous amount of resources?
Their eyes collectively shifted towards the treasures below. Surely, there was something among the treasures Anthony had brought back that could tempt the Runic Will Pavilion and the Heaven Sealers Association into helping them.
And perhaps, after the two were done with their work, they could simply call Anthony to inspect everything and ensure that it was secure, without necessarily requiring him to set everything up and do all the work himself.
Nathaniel turned towards Anthony as he spoke once more, his hands clasped behind his back, his demeanour as sagely as ever.
"Since you already know about everything here, you can choose your twenty percent."
His voice was cool and collected.
At those words, Anthony simply nodded, then turned his eyes towards Lora Vake, who was floating to the side, as he spoke.
"Since I promised to give you my share of the twenty percent, should I pick out the items, artefacts, and treasures that are perfect for you, both currently and in the future?"
He asked, making the suggestion, as neither he nor anyone else had the time to spend hours waiting for her to finish selecting her share.
Lora Vake didn’t think much about it and simply nodded. She didn’t ask Anthony how he knew what she would need in the future or anything of the sort. Those were stupid questions at this point.
Receiving her nod, Anthony simply raised a hand, and various treasures shot towards him. With a thought, he created a new Space Ring, as the one Lora Vake possessed couldn’t hold all these items.
Turning his attention towards her once more, he tossed the Space Ring and a Memory Crystal he had just created towards her as he spoke.
"Everything is inside the Space Ring, and the Memory Crystal contains information about all the items within it. That way, you won’t be helpless whenever you need to use any of them."
His tone was explanatory.
Lora Vake caught the Memory Crystal and the Space Ring. She slid the Space Ring onto her finger, although she was somewhat hesitant to leave it there. She simply wanted to seal it somewhere safe where only she could access it. After all, she could be ambushed and robbed.
Although only she, her fellow Above Disciples, the Core Elders, and the Sect Master were present, all of whom were trusted individuals, it didn’t mean the information couldn’t reach the hands of their enemies. Not through the people gathered here, of course, but through the various uses of Laws and abilities.
She crushed the Memory Crystal, and information immediately flooded her mind regarding the items and treasures. She stood frozen for about half an hour as the sheer volume of information was simply too much to process. After a while, she seemed to return to reality as she turned towards Anthony and spoke.
"Thank you, Anthony. If it’s ever possible, I will repay this in the future, but if it’s not, then..."
She stated her thanks to Anthony with a small smile on her face. Although she had spoken about repaying Anthony in the future, she didn’t think much about it, as she had only said if.
After all, given the way Anthony was progressing, he might never need her help with anything.
Anthony nodded with a smile and said nothing more.
The Core Elders and the Sect Master, who were unaware that Lora Vake had asked Anthony for his share of the treasures, were stunned for a moment. They couldn’t help but wonder whether Lora Vake had used her womanly charms to trick Anthony into giving away his reward or something of the sort.
After all, no matter how powerful someone was or how well they could control their sexual urges, love could still make people do stupid and foolish things. But they didn’t say anything, deciding it was better to remain silent on the matter.
However, just because they didn’t discuss it didn’t mean Anthony wouldn’t clear the air. After all, he wasn’t the type who liked such misunderstandings.
"I have a girlfriend, so whatever thoughts the Core Elders and the Sect Master might be having at the moment are definitely wrong."
He stated this as he shifted his attention from Lora Vake to the Core Elders and the Sect Master.
They remained silent for a moment before nodding their heads without a word or asking Anthony to explain why he had given his rewards away. It was his share, after all, and he had the right to do whatever he wanted with it.
Jerry, who had remained silent until then, took it upon himself to explain why Anthony had given away his treasures, while also claiming that Anthony hadn’t given them even a single item because they were men and not women like Lora Vake.
