"That was the correct decision, kid. I can tell you why Valeu sent people to take it back from you. The Imperial Aquamarine is the symbol of the Imperial Family. Only those of high status like the princess can carry it around. Other than them, only powerful cultivators with close ties to the Imperial Family have the privilege of having one as well. If you had insisted on bringing it back, you would only become a target for everyone else. In your case, this Aquamarine is more like a curse than a gift."
Roan nodded.
"I see... No wonder he wanted it back to the point of sending people to kill us. Those guys really gave us a hard time."
The elder nodded.
"Indeed. Anyway, since we are already on this topic, did you see the Imperial Family Members?"
Roan looked at Rean and Malaka, who shook their heads.
"We didn't. We only found out that it was Valeu who sent the assassins because we forced the answer out of those guys."
