When Vincent heard the voice coming from inside the dragon egg, he revealed a relieved expression. This was because he finally understood Boris’s strange behavior during this period.

Kurt stood beside Vincent with a face full of curiosity and observed the dragon egg cautiously. He could not wait to borrow it and properly collect some data.

Only Boris seemed to have seen a ghost when he heard the voice coming from inside the dragon egg. His face was filled with fear and he quickly retreated. He lost control of his feet and fell to the ground. He did not forget to place his hands on the ground and continued to move backward.

Vincent frowned and asked, “What is going on? Give me a reasonable explanation!”

Boris was scared silly. He had no time to answer Vincent’s question.

The voice coming from inside the dragon egg suddenly said, “Hey, idiot! Do you want to explain or should I?”

Upon hearing the questioning voice, Boris reacted instinctively and quickly said, “I wouldn’t dare to trouble you. I’ll explain!”

Vincent put away the dragon egg. He was ready to listen to Boris’s story. It seemed that Boris must have experienced a lot of things and had many stories to share.

Just like that, Boris sat on the ground as he recalled his previous encounter. His eyes were empty, and he said with a despondent expression, “Back then when I was trading with Mr. Randall, I accidentally discovered his dragon egg. In order to make a large sum of money, I took the opportunity to steal the dragon egg when he was unaware. However, I did not expect the dragon egg to hatch. The dragon inside actually had high intelligence and extraordinary strength! Later on, this little dragon would take the initiative to release her aura from time to time, attracting a large number of wanderers and experts from various races. I could only run for my life every single day. I avoided those experts who came for the aura of the dragon. I could only sleep for less than an hour every day before I was woken up by this little dragon. As the dragon egg had hatched, I didn’t dare to sell it casually. I also didn’t dare to destroy her easily. I could only be manipulated by her and follow her orders.”

Boris continued, “In the beginning, she always asked me to do embarrassing things, such as going back on my words when doing business, taking the initiative to provoke the Masters when I met them, and acting extremely lewd in front of the girl I liked. In short, this little dragon had made me lose my reputation and dignity in just a short month. What was left was endless humiliation, until I met you in the trading market. This little dragon took the initiative to ask me to sell her to you. At that time, I was very happy because I could finally get rid of her. I didn’t expect that you would be the one who issued the mission!”

Vincent and Kurt could not help but smile after hearing Boris’s explanation. This greedy merchant was completely unaware that he had been used by Randall, and he had been tortured at the hands of this unborn dragon girl. It could be said that the retribution was unpleasant!

Boris saw Vincent’s mocking expression and could not help but say, “No matter what, it is because of me that you were able to obtain this dragon egg. Even if I have not contributed much, I have worked hard. I hope that you can persuade the little dragon to stop torturing me! I also hope that you can show mercy to me and let me off the hook!”

Vincent smiled slightly and said in a deep voice, “What? Do you think that I received this dragon egg because of you? Up until now, you still can’t see that if it wasn’t for Randall’s intention, how could you possibly take the dragon egg away from him?”

Boris immediately revealed a surprised expression. He muttered and sighed, “What did you say? It was Randall who deliberately let me take the dragon egg? But, why?”

Vincent weighed the dragon egg in his hand. He sighed softly and said, “Because Randall wanted to find someone who could help him hatch the dragon egg completely. But there was no one at the Inn who could help him, so he came up with this idea. By using you, he hoped that his child would be able to find someone who could successfully help him to hatch the dragon egg. As for me, I’ve been working on it relentlessly these past few days, and I’ve been controlling the temperature very carefully. I believe that it won’t be long before the little dragon girl inside will truly be born!”

“Hahaha, you’re the little girl! A dragon starts aging from the moment they activate their intelligence. I’m already over 50 years old now. You are just a junior!” said the voice. She was emphasizing her age to Vincent stubbornly.

Vincent could only use a coaxing tone to say, “Okay, okay, you are old! Then in the future, you must show your dignity as an elder. Don’t bully a young man like Boris anymore!”

“Previously, I teased him because he did not have the ability but still wanted to keep me. Now that I am about to be born, I can’t be bothered with him at all!” said the proud voice. She could be considered as agreeing to Vincent’s request.

Vincent then turned to Boris and said, “Now that this young elder of the Dragon Race has forgiven you, I can’t be bothered to pursue you any further. You can leave now!”

Boris was stunned for two seconds when he heard that. He said with a panicked expression, “Leave? You want to kick me out of the team! If I return to the Inn alone, the Wanderers Association will not forgive me. Please show mercy and let me continue to stay in the team. I promise that I will not betray you and will not slack off in the future!”

Vincent shook his head and said very firmly, “I will not work with a wanderer who does not have professional ethics! As for the Inn, do you think you can go back again? Just the fact that you have stolen the dragon egg, do you think that Randall will spare you? If you want to live, then find another prosperous world to settle down in!”

Boris did not expect that he would be homeless in an instant and become a real wanderer. From now on, not only could he no longer carry out missions as a wanderer, but he also lost the qualification to be a Dragon Race material merchant. The business that he had worked so hard on for many years was destroyed in an instant.

Boris squatted on the ground and covered his face helplessly as he cried bitterly, “It’s gone. There’s nothing left. What’s the point of me living now?”

His wails were earth-shattering and made others feel sorry for him.

However, Vincent did not seem to mind at all. He pulled out his Return Journey of the Dead and said with a smile, “If you want to die, I can help you. I won’t charge you anything for it!”

Upon hearing that, Boris instantly jumped up from the ground. The originally sad and dispirited expression on his face disappeared. Instead, he said, “I’m just talking nonsense. Please don’t take it seriously! Since you’ve already agreed to let me go, then I can’t die just like that no matter what. Isn’t it just living in a different world? I have a friend who lives in the capital of Ultimate Evil. I’ll go and seek refuge with him first. I’ll be able to rise again in a few years. Goodbye!”

With that, Boris ran out of the camp and disappeared from Vincent’s sight.
