“Lord Su Wan is ranked first among the Lords,” said Tristana. The old man looked surprised.
“Not bad. Nami does have good taste. She finally found me a good Lord.”
Even if the Lord turned out to be yet another useless trash, the Dark Demon Dragon was indeed someone to be reckoned with.
Su Wan was stumped. She didn’t know what to say.
Su Wan told the old man about the Soul Contract she was looking for and what she needed it for.
“The Soul Contract can be obtained from the Frostwolf family. Why do you need me for that?” said the old man.
“The Frostwolf family has a Soul Contact?!” asked Tristana in surprise.
“Looks like you aren’t the heir of the Frostwolf family,” said Bartos. “Anyway… 1 can help you get the Soul Contract if you do something for me.”
“Of course! What do you need me to do?” asked Su Wan excitedly.

Su Wan was surprised. ‘Does this old crook know what he is talking about?’
“Mr. Bartos, do you have some misunderstanding of the level of our strength?” asked Su Wan.
“Interesting… You feel like you aren’t strong enough, but 1 see no fear of gods within your eyes.” Bartos stood up shakily. His one eye focused on Su Wan. “You don’t believe in gods and their power. 1 like that!”
“What are you trying to say?” asked Su Wan.
“1 need you to go to a temple and retrieve the heart of a god that is sealed inside.”
There was a prerequisite for entering the temple. One had to be a non-believer.
“Mr. Bartos, are you sure I can enter a temple?”
Su Wan was worried. If the heart of a god was sealed in some temple, the danger of exploring such a place would be high.
“Of course, you can! There are special rules in this place. Only Lords can enter the temples. Before you, 20 Lords ventured into that temple.”
“Where are they now?”
“Who knows? 1 didn’t see anyone come back.”
Su Wan’s eyebrow twitched. ‘This miserable, old scum!’
“Don’t worry. There is no significant danger in that place. With your strength, I’m sure you’ll be fine.” Bartos looked at Xu Yuan.
Xu Yuan stared at the old man. This man had sent 20 Lords to their deaths without batting an eye.
“Mr. Bartos, 1 need to confirm the level of the enemy in that temple,” said Su Wan. “Also,
I need the Soul Contract before I enter that temple.”
“Little girl, are you still daydreaming? Who in this world is stupid enough to give the reward first before the mission is fulfilled? I will only give you the Soul Contract when 1 receive the heart of a god in my hands.”
“Mr. Bartos, you are being really insufferable right now! You want me to enter that temple and deal with dangers there without paying me? How do you expect me to venture in blindly without getting paid when so many Lords haven’t returned?” Su Wan glared at the old man.
Both people glared at each other, unwilling to back down.
Su Wan didn’t want to go blindly into danger. If she could have the Soul Contract first, then she could subdue and recruit the Vampire Duke and take it along to the temple.
“You foolish little girl, you’re the only person who dares to talk back to me. It is no wonder you are different from the other Lords.” Bartos looked at Su Wan in amazement.
Su Wan was speechless. “Mr. Bartos, may 1 know why you are looking for the heart of a god?” she asked.
Bartos smiled and clutched at his chest. “It’s nothing very important, except I lack a heart.”

The old man was very mysterious. She couldn’t find out much about him.
Bartos slowly took off his shirt. He pulled at the skin of his chest to reveal a fist-sized hole in his chest. There was no heart inside. His blood vessels squirmed, and his muscles contracted in rhythm. The old man didn’t have a heart!
Su Wan was stunned. She took a few deep breaths to steady herself.
She looked at the old man solemnly. What kind of strength would it take to survive without a heart?
It made sense why the store looked old and dilapidated. The old man must have been alive for a long time but had no energy to maintain such a place.
Tristana was also shocked. She could sense that the old man was indeed human. He wasn’t an undead who could survive long after being beheaded.
However, humans couldn’t live without a heart. As someone from the Frostwolf family from the Ice Empire, she had seen so many strange things in her life, but nothing had been as strange as this!
Xu Yuan looked at the old man. The old man must be as strong as him.
Bartos noticed that all of them looked shocked. He then wore his shirt and hid the hold in his chest.
“Mr. Bartos… How did this happen?” asked Su Wan.
“Nothing special,” said Bartos. “1 once fought with the Red Dragon. It managed to tear out my heart before 1 beheaded it.”
Su Wan recalled the name of the shop. It was called “Red Dragon Sushi” for a reason..
