Chapter 1106 Hidden Hands

• "Finneas, the immortal spiritual stones are yours now. Mountains and rivers divide us; may our paths cross again someday."
• Radiant King held Finneas's gaze for a lingering heartbeat, then swept away, Dark King and the others trailing behind him like somber shadows. Finneas made no move to hinder them. He had come to the Japrium Isles with a single purpose, and it was fulfilled. Five million immortal spiritual stones—an unexpected windfall that glowed like destiny itself.
• "What a waste—I was already lining up the perfect thrust for that Dark Sovereign!" Sea-God King let out a mournful sigh, shoulders rolling as though a tide had ebbed away before its time. Great. The man's actually hooked on stabbing people now? Finneas cut him a sidelong glance, one brow arching in disbelief. When they first met, Sea-God King had seemed an ironclad monarch of the deep—dignified, aloof, untouchable. Now, under the spray of victory, the fellow revealed a delightfully shameless streak that bordered on lecherous. Then again, that was par for the course. To outsiders, a Category Six powerhouse stood on a pedestal of untouchable majesty. Inside their small fraternity, each titan nursed quirks as vivid as storm clouds.
