Chapter 201 Dragonoid Mecha

"Half the Black Pearl? Ha! You must think that we are a social organization built to help others get rich at the expense of our own assets!" Bruce Pang barked out a scornful laugh.

"You won't be able to activate the Black Pearl without me. You can take my offer and gain half of it, or reject me and gain nothing at all." The little cocky dragonling replied.

"What makes you think we need you to activate the Black Pearl? You said so yourself, we're already doing stuff to it which you have no idea about." Bruce Pang sneered.

"That may be so, but you won't capture me this way if you don't need me at all. And apart from the Black Pearl, what do you need me for? There's no greater treasure than the Black Pearl, unless… You have not successfully taken over my father. And in which case, you're screwed if you don't take up my offer." The dragonling said with a sly smile on its little wicked face.

"This little bastard is good. He is going to be a tough nut to crack." Bruce Pang muttered to me away from the comms device.

"But he still revealed too much of himself to us. Firstly, he told us that he places great value on the Black Pearl, much more than probably all of the treasure troves combined. And secondly, he places more value in getting even half of the Black Pearl compared to his father's freedom. We can work with that." I said to my big bro with a confident smile.

"Alright. Why don't you show me what you're capable of." Bruce Pang said and let me gain control of the comms device.

"Little dragon, you're a pretty smart one. Alright, I will negotiate with you. I want access to all of the treasure troves in your tribe. I want full information on the Black Pearl. And all that for a twenty percent share. Non negotiable." I said in a casual voice.

"Half the Black Pearl for the Circle Trove. Non negotiable." The dragonling said in a casual voice as well.

"You seem to have no idea that I was being nice, little dragon. Fine. If you don't want to cooperate, then maybe you should just spend the rest of your life suffering while I escape with the Black Pearl. My fellow seatribe researchers can definitely figure out how to activate it." I said and immediately shut off the communication device from its side before tightening the cage around the dragonling.

Stab. Stab. Stab. Stab.

Thick spears shot out from the sides of the cage and pierced into the little dragonling's body mercilessly.

That little dragonling was a damned Crown Prince. He had lived a life of pure comfort and luxury.

My brutal and barbaric methods of negotiation took him completely by surprise!

"Cold." Bruce Pang nodded in appreciation.

"Ahhhh!!! Ahhhhh!!! You bastard!! It hurts! It hurtsss!!! Ahhhhhhh!!! You bastardddd!!!!! Aahhhhh!!!"

Came the screams of anguish from my speakers.

I ignored his screaming and proceeded to land on the Circle Trove.

With a single thought, I sent my resonance sweeping across the entire area, and instantly found the entrance mechanism into the Circle Trove!

"Ha. You want half the Black Pearl for the Circle Trove? Take a good look as I empty out this damned trove in front of your eyes!" I said with a triumphant smirk.

I deftly manipulated the lock mechanism and easily opened the door.

Click.

The circular stage split open in halves very smoothly.

"Excellent. Let me out. I will search for the meditation elixirs immediately." Bruce Pang said as we dropped into the humongous underground room.

It was like an entire world class mecha stadium down there. It was so huge that the Blue Dragon dude could roll around in every direction for a full minute and he would not reach the walls of the room.

And that humongous room had piles and piles and piles and piles of shiny, glittering treasure of every single kind!

I couldn't help but gulp as I forced down my greed which was rearing its head powerfully in my heart.

I quickly released Bruce Pang and started to slowly scan the treasures.

Most of it was of course, gold, precious stones and the sort. There were a couple of piles that had extremely strange looking plants and life forms.

Another couple of piles which Bruce Pang was excitedly approaching were filled with bottles and boxes of every sort.

And finally, around ten or so massive piles were… weapons, biomech parts and… mechas.

"The damned Blue Dragon dude had a collection of mechas!!!" I couldn't help but shout out excitedly!

I was like a little boy gaining access to a treasure vault full of toys r us toys and candies!!

And most importantly…

A quick scan revealed that there were at least fifty mechas and they were all completely strange mechas with completely different hardware and software!!

I did not hesitate for even a single second.

Zilch.

The moment I realized that there were fifty strange mechas, I instantly unleashed my red energy and tried to crush them all into particles!

Whoosh.

But nothing happened.

All of the mechas were totally resistant to my red energy!!

"Daaaaammmmmmmmmmnnnn itttt!!!!!!" I cursed with extreme frustration.

It was so bloody close, yet so bloody far!!

I leapt out of the still comatose Blue Dragon dude and made my way to the nearest mecha.

It was a red dragonoid mecha that was only around fifty meters in size, much like our blue mecha Barons. It had mechanical wings that was folded just like a real dragon, and unicorn horns on its head that indicated its non royal status.

But my earlier initial resonance indicated that it was no cannon fodder.

It had the strength of a Count! A peak blue mecha! And for it to be hidden in the Circle Trove, there must be something unique about it.

Wham.

My feet hit the mecha's head heavily and I quickly placed my hand on its cold, shiny armor to give it an extremely detailed scan with my resonance.
