Dyon simply didn't have enough backing. The only dao experts under his wing he could readily use were Zabia and the Ipsum disciples, but they were just fledgling dao experts. Dyon wasn't even confident enough to start his assault on the 99 universes with just them.
Simply put, if he could bring Nine under his wing and snatch her from BPA, the benefits would be innumerous.
"Are you trying to recruit me?" Nine sneered. A rage bubbled in her heart.
However, Dyon didn't deny it. 'Of course I am.'
"You've yet to wipe your mother's breast milk from you lips, yet you want to subdue me?"
'You should think about it.' Dyon said plainly. 'You were the leader of an operation of six higher dao experts, yet you lost five of them? I don't think even you would be spared from punishment, especially since that personality of yours is so abrasive.'
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtNine flinched. Dyon was right, there were likely many eager to see her punished. They would definitely come down hard.
Still, her pride was too strong.
"Do you still not understand why BPA was created? It was precisely so that beasts would never be placed under the heel of humans again, yet you want me to throw all of that away to follow you?"
'What?' Dyon sneered. 'Do you expect me to give you a speech about how I'm different from other humans? That I'll treat you well? That you'll be a treasured subordinate? Absolutely not.'
The coldness in Dyon's voice caused Nine to flinch.
'You and your allies attempted to crush the dreams of countless individuals I must answer to once I leave this place. If you come under me, you will be under me. I'll work you to death until the point you pay back the damage you almost caused here.'
Nine was stunned before she began to laugh, maybe she would even wipe tears away had they not been in the depths of an ocean.
'Is this how you recruit people? Why the hell would I join you under these conditions?'
'Two reasons.' Dyon replied. 'First, if you don't, this will be your final day with likely no one to remember your death date a year from now.'
Nine's gaze darkened, but Dyon hadn't finished.
'And second. If you ever want to taste the power of a Higher Existence, the sort of power your Clansmen have never touched before, I am your only hope.'
Nine laughed once more. "Is this some sort of comedy skit? You? Lift the curse that's plagued my Clan since the dawn of time? Who do you think you are to solve a problem my Clan couldn't?"
'Did you not do your due diligence before coming here? Are you not aware of who my wife is? If you want even a fraction of a chance, do you think BPA will be the one to provide it?'
Nine froze. It was only now she remembered the details of the mission. She had been so blinded by her rage and pride that she almost forgot what her original purpose here was.
They weren't even here to stop the Jafari Clan Treasure, they were here for the sole purpose of bringing the Rainbow Kun Peng to their side. They believed that their powers of illusion magic would become a key cog in fulfilling their hopes of grasping a foothold for beasts in this martial world. In truth, the numbered warriors were only using attacking the treasure as a distraction from their true goal.
According to the information, their enemies in this quest were Alexandria Snow and whatever potential powerhouses were backing her Elvin Kingdom. This was why it was pegged as such a difficult mission from the very beginning.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThere was no way that the Elvin Queen would be without protection. The only reason they didn't send even stronger numbered warriors was because they didn't think that a fallen Elvin Clan would still have such trump cards left. Plus, there was also the fact that their stronger numbered warriors headed off to the Conference. They couldn't participate even if they wanted to.
Unfortunately, it was this that truly scared Nine. She was the highest ranked numbered warrior remaining, meaning it was her choice to accept and follow through on the mission. There was no one else above her to blame. This would make her punishment even worse… She might even be crippled… Or killed…
Because of the limit of the Dream Panthers, not to mention their even worse than normal reproductive rate, even in comparison to other dao experts, their value was seen as less than in BPA.
While Nine only led a group of less than a dozen Dream Panthers, the other numbered warriors had Clans populated with several million to even billion. As a result, while BPA had to worry about backlash from whole Clans while dealing with other numbered warriors, the impact of Nine's Clan in the grand scheme was worse than negligible.
This aside, the most important point here was who this mission was about: Alexandria! The Elvin Queen! Also known as the Beast Queen…
The elves were known for relying on their beast companions to gain their abilities, but it was also true that their beast companions relied on them as well. If this relationship wasn't symbiotic, why would any beasts remain loyal to the elves? Their beast nurturing abilities were unmatched…
'So you understand now, hm? There's only one path left forward for you, don't you think?'
"You want to give up my pride for a chance?"
'I hear the Dream Panther's rate of reproduction is poor.' Dyon suddenly said, causing Nine to freeze once more. 'No, saying it's just poor doesn't do it justice. It wouldn't even be enough to say that you're an endangered species. I wonder if BPA cares very much about your opinion considering how small your population is.'
Now that Ri knew what race of beasts Nine was a part of, feeding Dyon information was far easier. Then, it was just up to Dyon to use this information.
