“Mr. Pruitt of Soul Demon Sect? Why is he here?” Norman was taken aback for a moment.
But still, he stopped in his tracks and said, “Let Mr. Pruitt in.”
After saying that, Norman turned around and sat back down. He then said to the elder, “Go and guard the mouth of the cave first. I will be there shortly!”
The elder nodded, then turned around and left.
Soon, Trystan walked into the great hall with Jared and the others.
“Mr. Zaffino, I apologize for the intrusion of my unexpected visit,” Trystan said courteously as soon as he stepped in.
“Mr. Pruitt, I couldn’t be happier that you would grace me with your presence. It’s no intrusion at all. Please, have a seat.”
Norman personally urged Trystan to take a seat.
Then, he ordered someone to serve top-notch spirit tea, proving that he held a great deal of respect for Trystan.
“Mr. Zaffino, I’m visiting Demonia Sect this time because I have a matter that requires your assistance!” Trystan said after taking a sip of tea.
“Mr. Pruitt, you have once aided Demonia Sect, allowing many of my disciples to restore their physical bodies and live again. If there is anything, just say the word! So long as it is within my capability, I will never turn you down. I don’t mind going to the ends of the earth for you,” Norman declared resolutely, thumping himself on the chest.
Upon hearing that, Trystan felt considerably relieved. He said, “Mr. Zaffino, I wish to have a piece of Demonia Stone from Demonia Sect. I have a friend who needs to restore the physical body and requires Demonia Stone!”
“You want Demonia Stone?”
At that request, Norman’s face instantly turned grim.
Upon seeing that, Trystan hurriedly said, “Mr. Zaffino, although Demonia Stone is incredibly rare, a Demonia Stone should be nothing to Demonia Sect, right?”
“Mr. Pruitt, it’s not that I’m being stingy and am unwilling to give you Demonia Stone. It’s just that Demonia Sect has only one Demonia Stone left right now. You, too, know the tragedy Demonia Sect suffered half a year ago. In truth, after that incident, almost all of the Demonia Stones here were taken, leaving only one behind!” Norman lamented helplessly.
“What?”
Upon hearing that, Trystan was immediately taken aback.
If there’s only one Demonia Stone left at Demonia Sect, he certainly won’t give it to us!
“Mr. Zaffino, I heard that a restraint was placed on Demonia Sect’s cultivation technique secret scrolls, and if someone can take them out, you will reward him with Demonia Stone?” Jared asked at that moment.
Norman turned to look at Jared. Right then, Jared had already changed his appearance, transforming back into a middle-aged man with a full beard.
“Mr. Zaffino, this is my friend, Mr. Chadwick. It is he who needs Demonia Stone!”
Trystan hurriedly made the introductions.
Upon hearing that, Norman nodded and said, “You’re right. If you can take Demonia Sect’s cultivation technique secret scrolls out, I can gift you the last Demonia Stone!”
“Very well, then. Please bring me to the place with the restraint, Mr. Zaffino. If I succeed in taking the cultivation technique secret scrolls out, I hope that you will keep your word. If I cannot accomplish it, we will leave immediately,” Jared said.
He knew it was the only way to have Demonia Sect willingly part with Demonia Stone.
“Okay!” Norman rose to his feet, then led Jared and the others to the cave. He knew that not just anyone could enter that cave. Since Jared had said as much, he decided to let the man give it a try.
At that time, if Jared was thrown out of the cave, he could not blame Norman for not giving him Demonia Stone.
Similarly, Trystan could say nothing then and wouldn’t feel that Norman was disrespecting him.
Norman led Jared and the others to the cave. The elder of Demonia Sect was guarding the entrance and hurried over upon seeing Norman approach.
“How’s it going?” Norman asked.
“He’s still inside, so there’s likely hope!” the elder replied in great excitement.
