I! Cleaner!-Chapter 1209 - 1099: Home Invasion

A few hours later.

"You'll regret this!"

Accompanied by an angry grunt full of frustration, the wall of the Silver Coral Palace was blasted open from the inside. An elderly merman, with a face as dark as a pot bottom, shot out riding a violent current and headed straight towards the outer court not far away.

Looking at him like this, he should have been persuaded?

Through the curtain of flowing water of the outer court, Leon, who had already read all the relevant documents, laid down the scroll in his hand and stood up to greet the irate elderly merman coming his way.

"Honorable Elder,"

"Humph!"

After snorting angrily at Leon, the elderly merman glared fiercely at him, grinding his teeth in hatred:

"This time you've indeed gotten your way! But don't think I'll willingly...

"My dear father~"

Holding onto the neck of a water dolphin, a playful merman matriarch caught up and smiled sweetly:

"You better learn to be a bit more polite... otherwise, you might have to learn how to coax grandchildren next year.

"..."

Upon hearing the blatant threat from the merman matriarch, the elderly merman's cheek twitched hard twice, but he eventually held back, turning his face away and remaining silent.

Coax grandchildren?

Hearing this, a startled Miss Salty Fish swam over hurriedly, wanting to know what was going on. However, she was stopped by the merman matriarch.

"Leon, he has agreed to help you find those two directors."

Signaling for her daughter to remain quiet, the merman matriarch smiled warmly at Leon:

"The environment around the ice layer is too harsh, only you and this old stubborn can approach. Wendy and I would freeze if we went, so we won't be accompanying you.

Moreover, if this old stubborn changes his mind midway and doesn't want to cooperate with you, just ask him if he wants to have another grandchild. If that doesn't work, then ask if he wants to have a great-grandchild."

"Great-grandchild???"

At this point, Miss Salty Fish, who couldn't hold back her curiosity, asked:

"Mother, what's the connection with a great-grandchild? Is Cousin Angie having a baby too?"

"It's not from your Cousin Angie; this great-grandchild will be yours,"

"Ah?!?!?!?"

"Anyway, be sure to remember those two sentences. If he doesn't want to cooperate with rescuing, just ask him directly. It's likely to cool down his overheated brain."

Without explaining the reason to Miss Salty Fish, after reminding Leon once more, the merman matriarch cheerfully added:

"Or go a step further; if he's still trying to make trouble after those two sentences, ask if he wants the grandchildren and great-grandchild born on the same day, or perhaps... uh?"

"Don't push it!"

Hurriedly condensing a stream of water to forcibly cut off the merman matriarch's words, the elderly merman angrily exclaimed:

"I've been forced to help those humans. Can't I even have a bit of resentment?"

"Of course you can."

Spitting out the water in her mouth, the merman matriarch said with a smile:

"But the more resentment you have, the bigger your grandchild will be."

Ahhh!!!

Irritated red by the merman matriarch's threats, the elderly merman felt like breaking with abandon, but fearing the matriarch might make good on her word and have the grandchild and great-grandchild born on the same day, he could only bite his teeth and keep silent.

Through their conversation, having faintly guessed the matriarch's way of persuading the elderly merman, Leon's mouth twitched, and he looked aside with difficulty, speaking up:

"Thank you..."

"You're welcome~"

Returning Leon's smile with a dazzling one, the merman matriarch raised her arm to gesture toward Tidal Realm's entrance, softly reminding:

"Though with the old stubborn's help, there probably won't be danger, but do be careful. If any danger truly appears, quickly run away, or leave him behind; we won't blame you."

At this point, the merman matriarch leaned in a bit closer, lowered her voice, and murmured:

"Actually, even when there's no danger, you can leave him behind if you succeed; our entire family will appreciate it, and I won't only decide to let Wendy marry you but even can..."

"Evangelin!!!"

"No more, no more~"

Hearing the roar from the Silver Coral Palace direction, knowing if she continued she'd get scolded by the crown merman, the whispering merman matriarch hurriedly stepped back two paces, then waved cheerfully:

"Off you go, the bioluminescent algae outside are lit, making it perfect timing... Oh right!"

At this point, seemingly recalling something, the merman matriarch further added:

"The sea eye is co-managed by our three sea tribes; since we've detained this long, the other two tribe leaders should soon get wind of it. Though those two aren't as stubborn as the old coot, they aren't very friendly to humanity or your clearing bureau. Remember to be cautious."

Could those two tribe leaders be going as well?

After hearing the matriarch's admonition, Leon couldn't help but frown slightly, nodding to indicate he noted it, then turned toward the elderly merman with nostrils flaring.

"Humph!!"

Responding to Leon's gaze, the elderly merman's nostrils expanded dramatically, emitting a ten times louder snort than before, then he swept out a high-speed current to carry Leon towards the sea eye.

"Mother!"

Glancing at the scolding Miss Salty Fish who had been stewing over the swept-away Leon and grandpa, she couldn't help but say:

"Why did you lie?"

"Hm?"

The merman matriarch raised her brow slightly at the accusation, smiling as she retorted:

"What did I lie about?"

"About the other tribe leaders!"

Miss Salty Fish spoke crossly:

"Although the sea eye is indeed co-managed by all tri-tribes, it's specifically Uncle Andy and Aunt Myusha in charge; both are in great terms with you. Without you letting them, how could the other tribe leaders get the news?"

"I sent word."

"???"

"While having the close attendant deliver the documents to Leon, I asked her to pass a message to Aunt Liao Sha, telling her to notify the other two leaders that grandpa was taken by the Food God. Won't be long before they head over."

"Ah?"

Miss Salty Fish's mind blanked upon hearing.

"Why?!?"

"To get all the troublemakers out of the way."

After smiling at her stupefied daughter, the merman matriarch took her hand, heading back toward Silver Coral Palace.

"With those three old stubborns gone, it's now only myself, Uncle Andy, and Aunt Myusha running things in the Sea Race; even your grandma can't stop us... Haha! I've waited almost a hundred years; finally, it's my turn to be the leader. Sea Race unity begins today!"

"?!?!?!"
