Chapter 20: Threaten

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Two people walked out of the private room. Everyone had noticed that the person who had shouted the bid earlier wasn’t Master Fleck.

In other words, it was the black-robed man beside Master Fleck.

Of course, Master Fleck wouldn’t need an object like this in the first place. Those who had interacted with Master Fleck knew that he didn’t care about women. He was wholeheartedly focused on alchemy, which was how he had earned his current status and position.

Jaidon stopped in his tracks. After confirming that the others had not discovered his identity, he lowered his voice and asked, “What is it?”

As expected, upon hearing this familiar voice, joy appeared on Bryson and Aidon’s faces.

He was the one who had shouted the bid during the auction, so the Strange Thunder Wood must also be on him.

“Can I discuss a deal with you?” Bryson asked while suppressing his excitement.

“A deal?”

Master Fleck studied Bryson for a moment, then shifted his gaze to Aidon, and a look of understanding appeared on his face.

Aidon, on the other hand, was extremely embarrassed. However, he couldn’t add anything to the conversation between the elders.

Of course, the main reason was that he didn’t have any confidence left after becoming a cripple.

Without Bryson’s protection, Aidon’s fate would have been even worse than Jaidon’s. After all, his arrogant and overbearing way of doing things had made many Booker Family disciples unhappy in the past.

Now, in order to carry on the family line, the father and son duo were determined to obtain the Strange Thunder Wood.

Seeing that the black-robed man had no reaction, Bryson could only turn to Master Fleck for help.

Master Fleck shook his head and said, “Your business is with Master only, don’t count on me.”

Master Fleck spoke in an indifferent tone, but it caused Bryson and his son’s hearts to be in turmoil.

Master Fleck, whom everyone in Green Valley Town addressed respectfully, would actually call someone else master?

Who was this black-robed man?

No matter what his status was, a person addressed by Master Fleck as his Master was definitely not ordinary. Provoking him would not be in their best interests.

To put it bluntly, they were cowards.

All of a sudden, Bryson’s mind was filled with emotions. He gritted his teeth and said with heartache, “I’m willing to buy the Strange Thunder Wood in your hands for 50 thousand gold coins. Would you be willing to sell it?”

The Booker family was quite well-to-do, but most of their assets were in properties. Even Bryson was unwilling to take out so many gold coins in one go.

This was equivalent to giving the other party 10,000 gold coins for nothing.

Aidon also looked up with a hopeful gaze.

That piece of Strange Thunder Wood was their final ray of hope.

However, never in their wildest dreams would they have imagined that the person who had obtained it was Jaidon. Furthermore, he had already used up the Strange Thunder Wood.

Jaidon almost couldn’t hold back his laughter. ‘Even you father and son had to end up like this.’

They were really great members of the Booker family, acting fierce in the family and groveling outside.

Shaking his head, Jaidon said mercilessly, “I…”

Just as he was about to reject the offer, two figures walked over from the other side of the passageway.

“The Booker Family offered 50,000, but the Warden Family will offer 60,000!”

They were Hank and his older brother, Gage.

Gage’s face appeared calm, but Hank was looking at Aidon with arrogance and provocation.

The Warden family wasn’t called the number one family in Green Valley Town for nothing. In terms of assets, they were more than a level higher than the Booker family.

Naturally, they were more confident.

“Sir, we can discuss the price further.” Bryson’s heart was burning with anxiety, fearing that the man would be attracted by the Warden Clan’s title.

However, Bryson’s words attracted Hank’s ridicule, “Is your Booker Family’s small business worthy of stealing from our Warden Family?”

“I am definitely getting the Strange Thunder Wood!”

Hank made a solemn vow. The Level-two Spiritual Herb was obtained by the Warden Family, causing Hank’s ego to inflate so much he couldn’t find his bearings.

In fact, in his eyes, even the elders of the Booker Family had the word “poor” engraved on their faces.

The atmosphere became tense. It seemed like they were about to start fighting.

Jaidon sneered inwardly.

Both of them had a grudge against him, yet they wanted to get benefits from him?

They were probably living in a dream.

What did the Warden and Booker family amount to?

Battle General rank was the highest these families could achieve. Jaidon believed that with the system’s help, the day he reached Battle General rank would not be too far off.

“You fellows don’t need to argue.” Jaidon’s calm voice came from beneath the black robes, causing the two sides to hold their temper.

Their eyes were all focused on Jaidon.

Hank believed that the man had no reason to refuse, while Bryson was a little nervous.

“You guys don’t have to fight over it. I’ve already used the Strange Thunder Wood.”

“What did you say?” Hank was immediately angered. If he wasn’t a bit afraid of Master Fleck, he would have already taken action.

Jaidon, who was wrapped in a black robe, did not reveal any essence energy fluctuations. In their eyes, he was just a lowly person deliberately mystifying things.

A cold glint flashed across Jaidon’s eyes as he said mercilessly, “Are you threatening me?”

He took a step forward and a powerful force swept out. The floor cracked instantly.

Hank nearly peed his pants from fear. He’d never seen such a display of power before, so he hid behind Gage.

“Master said that he doesn’t want to sell it. Could it be that you want to take it forcefully now?” Master Fleck stood out to help Jaidon.

Seeing his own family member being bullied like this, Gage said, “Of course not, but I hope that you will give the Warden Family some face!”

His tone was threatening.

“What if I refuse? Do you want to attack me?” Jaidon laughed. ‘Do you think I’m afraid of you?’

Although Gage appeared calm on the surface, the twitching corners of his eyes indicated that his heart was not calm at all.

“Of course not, our Warden Family is very peaceful.” With that said, he snorted and left with Hank.

Master Fleck was very dissatisfied with the Warden family, but he could do nothing about it as the Warden family was big and powerful.

“What about you fellows? Don’t tell me you plan on forcing a deal too?” Jaidon turned his attention back to Bryson and his son.

The two quickly shook their heads. Doing such a thing in the Violet Royal Auction House was undoubtedly inappropriate.

Although the Booker family’s business was not small, based on the current situation, it was best not to provoke others.

They could be described with just one word, cowards!

Jaidon sneered, flicked his sleeves, and left. Master Fleck naturally followed behind him.

Master Fleck wasn’t interested in these messy matters, but he wanted to continue discussing the medicinal pills with Jaidon.

“Big brother, are we going to let him off just like that?” Coming back to his senses, Hank wanted to wash away this humiliation immediately.

This damned old man, since he refused to cooperate, he had to kill this fellow deliberately creating trouble!

“Impossible. It’s impossible for the Strange Thunder Wood to be used up in such a short period of time.” Gage calmly said.

Hank’s eyes immediately lit up. He whispered something into his big brother’s ear, a vicious light flashing in his eyes.

After that, the two of them left the Violet Royal Auction House.

Meanwhile, Jaidon and Master Fleck were chatting in the living room.

Of course, even though it was just a casual chat, Master Fleck had been leading the conversation in the direction of pill refinement.

Jaidon couldn’t help but admire this old man. With so many questions, he had probably accumulated knowledge for decades.

There were all kinds of strange questions, and his perspective was also especially inflexible.

However, Jaidon, who had the Alchemist Apprentice badge, could answer these questions effortlessly.

“Master, I’ve been trying to refine a Level-two medicinal pill recently. However, it involves the principles of the five elements and requires the addition of spiritual herbs that complement them. The ratio and order of refinement are too complex.”

“Do you have any insight into the Five Elements Theory?”

Master Fleck wanted to become a Level-two alchemist, so he asked many questions about the basics.

Jaidon smiled and said, “Can’t you tell how to use it just by looking at it? Can’t you tell the ratio and order with a glance?”

Master Fleck’s face gradually stiffened. After a while, he forced a smile and said, “Is… is that so…”

“Hahaha…”

Jaidon laughed and said, “Alright, I won’t tease you anymore. This answer is very simple…”

Jaidon Immediately started explaining a bunch of theories, shocking Master Fleck.

Master was indeed a master!

He was just so awesome!
