The Untouchable Ex Wife by Mizuki Sei

Chapter 1690
Finally, Silas revealed his request. Dragos was beyond the reach of society, and
had survived on its own with its own clan laws away from the rest of the world.
They never caused trouble to anyone... but that didn't mean they could have
peace. The dragon's saliva was their clan treasure which blessed their land, but
its rarity and value had brought them a lot of danger. Over the years, the number
of greedy people that tried to attack the village had increased, each more
scheming than the other. It was clear that the dragon's saliva brought them more
trouble than blessings, so the villagers of Dragos had to find something to protect
them if they wanted to survive.
Silas had been worried sick about such things until he met Stefan.
Although Stefan was rude, he was different from the others who had come to the
village. Silas could tell he was a refined person, and that had given Silas hope.
On that day, the guards at the memorial chamber had caught Stefan, tied him up,
and left him in the hall at the head of the village. The villagers raged, wanting him
to be punished for what he had done to their beloved dragon-they wanted to cook
him over a fire to pacify the dragon's wrath. Silas tried his best to dissuade them,
and finally locked Stefan up in a dark room beside the memorial chamber. He
figured someone would come to Stefan's rescue given his status, and when that
happened, he could negotiate with them. As expected, Quinton and Xavier had
come over with their men right away, and they were more powerful than Silas
imagined. The fact that they chose not to destroy the village to rescue Stefan
made Silas feel they could be trusted, and that perhaps they could have the
power to protect Dragos and its villagers.
"My request might be a little unreasonable but... it's the price you have to pay for
taking the dragon's saliva." Silas had stopped being aggressive, and his old face
looked desperate and hopeful. "If you agree, Dragos will live on fora very
longtime." "That's it?" Xavier asked, looking perplexed. He thought they would
ask for a lot of money, but their request was rather simple. He felt quite
sympathetic for the people of Dragos after hearing their story, so he didn't find
the request unreasonable.
"If you say yes, we'll need your thumbprint for confirmation. If not... we'll risk our
lives to fight you!"
The surrounding villagers immediately tensed up when Silas said that, and
gripped their weapons tightly.
"There's no need for that. This guy and I have men-they can stand guard at the
foot of the mountains or at the head of the village to protect you all throughout
the year as long as you let Stefan go. It's completely free of charge." Xavier
agreed quickly. It wasn't tough for him to arrange such a thing.

I don't object either." Quinton looked
