Marcus understood the value of the Bloodline Fruit—nobles often were willing to spend thousands of Gold Coins for the location of a Bloodline Fruit.
If it weren't for the risk of failure associated with the Bloodline Fruit, its value might have been measured in Dragon coins.
He was both excited and relieved, "Thankfully, we started the campaign to clear out the Thorn Ridge Beasts early. Otherwise, by the time the Bloodline Fruit was ripe for the picking, this Fierce Earth Dog might have further evolved and become even harder to hunt down."
It was for this very reason that Liszt had initiated the early purge of Thorn Ridge.
He reached out and touched the Bloodline Fruit, lamenting that it wasn't edible for humans, "It seems like this Bloodline Fruit will soon mature. The Fierce Earth Dog originally wanted to gamble on this chance, but now it belongs to me."
