Supremacy Games

In Felix's eyes, this was an absolute banger of a treasure that he didn't even know existed in this universe!

'Burning neutral energy as fuel? Interesting, I have never heard of such treasure or effect before.' Lady Sphinx remarked with an intrigued tone.

'This galaxy is really a marvelous place.' Elder Kraken expressed, 'Not a single natural treasure has been found to convert neutral energy outside of this galaxy. Yet, those volcanic folks have no issues trading one with ordinary food.'

'Shit, shit, shit!'

The more Felix heard his masters' remarks, the more he desired to have this natural treasure...Even if they didn't say anything, he wanted it dearly since the notion of having his exhaustion wiped away was too good to give up on.

However, he understood that if he agreed to the deal, he wouldn't be able to get a favor from Lord Heatiaz...After all, it would seem too fishy to accept the treasure as well seeking a favor.

'How do I play this to get both?'

Felix used his lightning-quick reflexes to brainstorm a method that would enable him to secure both before Zytoss got alerted.

He went through many methods but he kept shutting them down as he knew that Lord Heatiaz was too smart to not see through them.

In the end, Felix realized that he was left with only one risky method.

"Eternal Firestone...Uh...It sounds good, but I already have no issues with my energy management." Felix replied awkwardly, "Plus, I don't know if this item is going to harm me in the long run. I am just a human and I don't have either fire affinity or fire immunity."

Zytoss hastily tried to promote his treasure after hearing Felix's response...However, nothing he said managed to change Felix's attitude toward this trade.

Just as he planned to deliver the news to Lord Heatiaz, Felix interjected with a humble tone, "I feel bad about rejecting your attempts like this. How about you connect me with Lord Heatiaz? We might work something out together."

"Uh, okay, give me a second." Zytoss knew that he couldn't reject Felix as it would cause their trade to collapse immediately.

So, he contacted his father and narrated all the points that were brought up by Felix to reject their treasure.

When he was done, Lord Heatiaz took over his consciousness forcefully to speak with Felix before Zytoss could even tell him about it.

Suddenly, Zytoss' entire form and facial features remained the same but his expression and tone had changed drastically...Even the atmosphere inside the village hall seemed to have gotten stiffened and hot like they were transported into a sauna.

"Outsider, this is Lord Heatiaz speaking."

"It's an honor to me you, my lord." Felix bowed his head respectfully.

"Hmm, I dislike beating around the bush, so tell me what you want exactly to get this over with." Lord Heatiaz said with an indifferent tone.
