Nash was shocked. He then said, "We received news a couple of days ago that the first-class aristocratic families that went to the Bright Snow Mountain did not obtain the stone ball and we have no idea who from which family obtained the ball. Who would have expected that somebody from your Hemperly family got it!"
Nash frowned as he paused. He then continued, "However, how can our Woods family help you? You guys are ballsy for coming here with only a couple of people. Aren't you afraid that we will rob you?"
Darcy laughed before he spoke again, "To be frank, Master Woods, we've thought of this possibility. My son, Paul, and I had discussed at length before we agreed unanimously that your Woods family is the most reliable family right now. The reason we come to you and not other ancient clans is because we don't know them well, what if they snatch our stone ball away?"
Darcy paused momentarily before he continued to speak, "As for the Hunt family and others, they obviously would not be of much help. Why would they agree to help us when they don’t have any stone balls with them? Only the Woods family possesses a stone ball and we've witnessed how powerful Young Master Fane was the other day. We have unanimously agreed that the Woods family would be the most reliable one!"
Paul, who was standing aside, also added," Apart from that, Master Woods had always been open and candid. Since you have a stone ball with you, we believe that Master Woods would not do anything despicable!” Fane glanced at Paul. It had to be mentioned that this young master of the Hemperly family was not only a man of striking appearance but also had a meticulous mind. Not only did he praise Nash with his words, but he was also implying that they would be considered despicable if they snatched the ball from the Hemperly family. They would have to think twice with consideration of the Woods family's honor!
Fane thought about it and replied to the other party, "Master Hemperly, I wonder what sort of favor do you need from us?"
"It’s very simple. I will return while my son and a couple of our elders stay here to study the stone ball in peace. Don't worry as the other members of our family have no idea that the stone ball is in our hands. Hence, as long as both our people keep
quiet, the others would not come searching here!” "Certainly, allowing us to stay here would cause your family to face a certain degree of danger. If we are being pinpointed by the Hunt family or other ancient clans, I hope that the Woods family will help us. I believe that with Young Master Fane’s strength and how strong the Woods family is right now, the Hunt family or Skies Pavilion would not dare to cause any trouble for you guys!” Darcy smiled indifferently and told them about his intentions.
"This is quite troublesome as the Skies Pavilion, Hunt family and many other first-class aristocratic families had not obtained this stone ball. The easiest target right now would be the one in your hands. There's a possibility that even some second-class aristocratic families have their eyes on this stone ball of yours. I'm afraid that this would really bring us unwanted trouble!" Nash frowned as he dared not simply agree to this as it was quite a huge issue.
He thought about it and finally looked toward Fane. "Fane, what do you think?"
The others also glanced toward Fane. It was obvious that Fane had become the backbone of the crown at that moment as he had the highest combat power among them.
"Let me see how much resources you can give us!" Fane kept quiet a moment before he spoke while looking at Darcy and the others.
Darcy immediately took out two martial rings and passed them to Fane. “One of these contains spirited grass while the other contains some weapons. Young Master Fane, please take a look!" The other members of the Hemperly family were obviously nervous. It was true that they had brought quite a lot of precious treasure over but nobody would want to cause themselves trouble under normal circumstances. On top of that, the Woods family had just returned from the Black Windy Island not long ago and it was rumored that they had greatly benefited from that trip. Hence, they might not have much regard for the items the Hemperly family had to offer!
