Chapter 3284 Words Alone Carry No Weight
Since Hamish had said as much, Cloud said nothing further.
On the contrary, Miya interjected anxiously, “They are all relatives of mine, Mr. Chevalier. This is my cousin, the son
of my youngest uncle. Please make an exception this once.”
“The son of your youngest uncle?” Surprise flooded Hamish, and he carefully studied Cloud for a moment.
But still, he shook his head and murmured, “It’s not that I’m unwilling to make an exception, Miya. The thing is, this
expedition is exceedingly dangerous. I’m not one with the final say. The team consists of a dozen people. It’s no use
if I’m the only person agreeing to it. After all, cooperation is required throughout the journey. If we were to take
them along, we’d have to spare part of our energy to protect them. No one would be willing to do that. But if the
three of them could have the others concur by showing some sincerity, I wouldn’t object.”

some incentive. However, he claimed that it was the others who wanted it, making his greed evident.
No sooner had Miya heard that than she understood his meaning and immediately offered, “I’m willing to pay five
million spirit coins, Mr. Chevalier. What do you think?”
Unexpectedly, Hamish shook his head and declined, “I’m afraid no amount of spirit coins will do, Miya. No one
heading to the southern region with me is strapped for cash.”
Upon learning that spirit coins would not work, Miya inexorably frowned because she could not offer anything else
besides spirit coins, having no power to make any decisions about other resources.
“If you don’t take the Teleportation Array to the southern region, Mr. Chevalier, do you have any other
transportation?” Jared asked.
“Why would we need other transportation? As cultivators, we can easily travel thousands of miles daily,” Hamish
retorted airily.
“That’s indeed true, Mr. Chevalier. However, traveling at a brisk pace takes a great toll on spiritual energy, making
it necessary to rest and recharge mid-way. This is quite a waste of time. We have an airship and can take it all the
way to the southern region. Not only will it save energy and time, but we’ll also be able to cultivate on the airship,”
Jared stated.
Hamish was briefly stunned before he exclaimed in disbelief, “You have an airship?”
In response, Jared nodded. “Of course. We came here by airship.”
“Words alone carry no weight. Let me have a look at the airship!” Hamish demanded. Jared cast Cloud a glance,
upon which the latter nodded and walked out of the living room before taking his airship out.
As Hamish stared at the airship in front of him, jubilation brimmed in his eyes. After he had laid eyes on it, his
attitude visibly changed.

“Miya, since they’re your relatives, coupled with my relationship with your father, I have no reason not to make an
exception this once. As for the others, you don’t need to worry about them. I’ll convince them.”
He happily assented to Jared and the others joining his team. Seeing that, Jared could not help snickering.
Nonetheless, there were far too many people like Hamish in the Ethereal Realm, prioritizing capabilities and
interests.
“In that case, thank you very much, Mr. Chevalier.”
Having expressed her thanks, Miya got up to leave. When she walked past Jared, she could not resist taking another
look at him, for she knew that she might never see him again in that lifetime after parting ways this time.
Jared said nothing nor reacted in any way. He believed that having her forget him as soon as possible would be a
relief to her. At the side, Kiara seemingly perceived something and saw Miya out.
“Do you have some kind of relationship with that guy, Miya? I noticed that you were looking at him differently,”
Kiara asked.
Smiling, Miya shook her head. “What kind of relationship could I have with him? Not at all.”
“Oh, come on! Are you taking me for a fool? In my opinion, not only do you two have some kind of relationship, but
you both must have been intimate,” Kiara declared confidently.
