"The Dragon's power—it's a genuine sacred artifact." Walton Greer's voice grew somewhat strained.
His avarice was barely concealed in his tone.
I scowled and questioned, "What are you getting at?"
Walton Greer looked at Zendaya Andrew and me, then smirked, "Do you understand why I brought Zendaya here?"
I frowned, "How could I know that?"
Walton Greer erupted in laughter, "Because obtaining the Dragon Spirit requires using the Spirit Core to call it forth!"
"But I never imagined that you'd consumed the Spirit Core too!"
"Really, fate is on my side, fate is on my side!"
Walton Greer cackled maniacally, all pretense of sophistication gone!
I instinctively drew Zendaya closer to me, then asked icily, "What's your plan?"
Walton Greer's eyes narrowed as he said, "I told you, I'm using both of you to call the Dragon Spirit! That's your purpose, and why you were permitted to reach this place!"
Walton Greer's bloodlust intensified further, and his eyes started turning crimson!
