"Commander Austin..."
Barker stared at Austin with utterly confused.
"Well, sir, please just call me Austin.
I really cannot accept the vital energy crystals of your Veritable Demon Sect as you almost didn't offend me much previously."
Looking at Barker's face, Austin felt ridiculous, and he threw back the Space Ring to Barker almost instantly.
What Austin said was true. The Veritable Demon Sect hadn't done anything to hurt Austin from the beginning and Austin knew that too well.
"Austin... I..."
Barker received the Space Ring hesitantly.
Now in terms of the position of hierarchy, Austin had been called the top one by the cultivators in the South Continent privately.
And when it came to the power play, Austin could easily vanquish cultivators as powerful as the ones at the Semi-emperor Realm.
While Barker was only at the preliminary stage of Heaven Realm.
So Barker knew it clearly that in all aspects there was a huge difference between the abilities possessed by him and Austin.
In the world of the cultivators, everything depended on strength and the weaker ones were always at the mercy of the more powerful. That was the norm.
So it was only natural that Barker became very careful when he talked to Austin. He was under too much pressure.
Barker was fully aware that Austin now was totally different from the one he had just met previously.
The Austin he knew was chased by the large sects and clans in the Heavenly Dragon Holy Kingdom and he had to escape for his life and hide in safety.
But the cultivator standing in front of him was the most powerful one in the South Continent.
"Sir, Mr. Barker, what is wrong with you?
Do I give off the vibe of terrifying wild animals?
I'm exactly the same person as you saw me the first time. You are still people I should pay my respect to. In my mind, you will always be. Sir, you really don't have to behave like this,"
Austin tried to explain with a bitter smile and a kind of helpless.
"Ha ha! Great! My boy! It's true that you haven't changed... I wasn't mistaken about you!"
In the end, Barker wasn't that worried anymore as he understood Austin's genuine expression. He put away the Space Ring with sixty million divine vital energy crystals in it.
"Sir, the Veritable Demon Sect no more holds grudge against me, which the Veritable Demon Sect should be fully aware of by now. Why did you try to send me divine vital energy crystals?"
Austin asked, genuinely wondering.
"Austin, you have let the Sky Sect disappear from the Heavenly Dragon Holy Kingdom. So all the sects and clans were frightened of you and were sure that you would kill them.
All other sects and clans have sent sixty million divine vital energy crystals.
If our Veritable Demon Sect that didn't do the same, our sect leader was afraid that you would let our sect disappear completely as well, just the way you did to the Sky Sect,"
Barker answered.
"Ha ha. Sir, you must be joking...
I know very well my friends and foes. What you just said will never ever happen.
Well then, sir, since you are here, please stay for a while and I will introduce some friends to you."
Hearing Barker's words, Austin laughed with clear embarrassment. After explaining the reason, he soon changed the topic.
"Ha ha ha... That is really good. I really appreciate your endeavor," Barker answered.
From Austin's attitude, Barker could tell that Austin did treat him just like before. So he was relieved completely and laughed out loud.
But soon something unexpected happened and turned the situation upside down.
"You lecher!
Don't you dare hurt my father!"
A charming and booming voice was heard from afar. Then a slightly green boat flying from the horizon came to the vicinity of everybody's vision. It came close to them in a second.
Two young girls jumped off the flying boat as it came near to a halt.
One of them was wearing a beautiful purple dress. She had big expressive eyes with long eyelashes. The face was not just pretty but also very smart. Together with her gentle body, she was a lovely young girl.
"You bad guy! I will kill you!"
The girl now looked furious and out of control. Waving her fists, she rushed towards Austin.
"What?
Dahlia, why are you trying to kill me? I never meant any harm to you!"
Austin was surprised beyond imagination at this anger.
The girl actually was Barker's daughter Dahlia. The other girl was evidently Dahlia's maid.
The slight green boat they rode was the Wind Boat, which Austin had been in it previously.
"Dahlia, why are you here?"
Barker was also extremely surprised to see his daughter there.
"You bad guy! I will ask you something. Why did my father send you sixty million divine vital energy crystals? Why?
Don't even make any attempt to deny it. I have heard it from the elders in my sect.
When did our Veritable Demon Sect do anything bad to you?
