Chapter 309 Threat

No matter if it was Prince Adolf, Auction host Lord Jude, The Grand Ducal Palace’s steward Derek, or even Abel himself, they were all male; they just could not understand the thirst those females had for beauty even after seeing how much Grand Duke Edwina and Master Mara’s appearance had changed.

This insane and hard for male to comprehend auction had ended. In the end, the set of potions was sold for the heavy price of 270,000 gold coins. Now, every noble elf on the spot had truly experienced just how popular Master Bennett’s work was.

This banquet organized by Prince Adolf had brought so much face for Angstrom City. Not many of the elves on the spot actually knew Master Bennett was among them. So Abel was worried that if his identity was exposed or if he stood up and took any credit, countless crazy female elves would swarm him.

Since Prince Adolf had lost so much face, so he also couldn’t bother to introduce Abel. That would just give Lady Carrie’s side even more power anyway. Afterall, there was only a Lord Bennett who had attended this banquet; Master Bennett was nowhere to be seen.

After the banquet had ended, Prince Adolf made an offer to Abel privately as he was sending out the guests “Master Bennett, are you willing to accept Begro City’s invitation to become our Grand Ducal Palace’s alchemist. Begro City will provide you with the best laboratory. We will also try our best to help you find the ingredients you want or any requests you have. Status, gold coins, ladies. As long as you are willing to come to Begro City, we can negotiate anything!”

However, Abel had just immediately declined his offer without even considering “the prestigious Prince Adolf, I’m only a normal alchemist. I’ve already accepted the invitation from the Grand Ducal Palace in Angstrom City, so I’m very sorry I can not accept your invitation!”

“Master Bennett. You know, you already got dragged into the conflict between Begro City and Angstrom City. The consequence is much bigger than you think, so please consider carefully!” Although there was still a smile on Prince Adolf’s face, the threats in his tone were clear.

Abel began to question if he was acting too humble lately. An elf prince was blackmailing him in front of him. He remembered the last person who blackmailed him was a prince from the Duchy of Carmel, and he had also been blackmailed by a wolf prince. Maybe now he could let them know the consequence of Blackmailing him. He was no longer the kid back in Duchy of Carmel. He no longer had the baggage of his family. He no longer needed to hold back.

As Abel was thinking, a string of murderous scent sifted out from his body. Every experienced fighter would have a violent scent on their body, and after time, this violent scent would become a murderous scent. Every time you kill a being, your violent scent would increase. The more violent scent you had, the thicker your murderous scent would become.

There were many ways fighters could turn their violent scent into a murderous scent. Most of them tried to harmonize their violent scent with their body through training. Afterward, it would turn into a murderous scent, which was what made up most of their imposed pressure.

Since Abel had become a commander, his body already possessed a large amount of imposed pressure naturally. Since he had used the meditation jade to harmonize his violent scent, they were normally hidden. However, this moment, he wanted to strike back, so his murderous scent just leaked out automatically.

Even Abel himself could not tell how powerful his murderous scent was. He had killed so many hell creatures; he could no longer even comprehend the number. Maybe he had killed even more beings in a few days than an experienced fighter’s entire life.

Although only a string of murderous scent had been sifted out. The scent was so dense that it had sent chills throughout his entire body of Prince Adolf. He quickly stepped back. All his instinct wanted was to get away from this bastard. The thought to himself, was this Master Alchemist also a part-time killer? At least tens of thousands of beings must have died in the hands of this guy in order for him to accumulate such heavy murderous scent.

Since Prince Adolf had learned a mysterious power of the will technique, his power of the will was a lot more sensitive than other elves. By this point, he truly sensed a scary threat that he could not comprehend. With a pad on his body, a strange protective cover arose, blocking out Abel’s murderous scent.

“The prestigious Prince Adolf, do you want to get a taste of and Master Alchemist’s anger? If you want to continue threatening me, I’m not sure if you or Begro City can handle the consequence!” Said Abel with a grim smile. When he approached Lady Carrie, he turned and left.

“Bastard, I will definitely make him pay!” The gracefulness had completely vanished from prince Adolf’s tone now, as he gasped angrily.

Prince Adolf did not expect a little threat would cause Master Bennett to flip the table on him. That did not have a single bit of shrewdness which a noble should have, but who could have guessed that Abel was actually a lone wolf in the elf world. He did not have any single baggage, and his relentless killing in the Dark World juxtaposed too much with the peaceful life in Angstrom City. What Prince Adolf had said was like a little spark, igniting all the pressure in Abel’s heart like an exploding volcano.

To Prince Adolf, what he just said was just a little persuasion. He didn’t actually want to mess with a Master Alchemist of Angstrom City. But now that Abel had threatened him back directly. Prince Adolf was so angry that he just wanted to whip out this Master Bennett. Who cared if he was a Master Alchemist.

“Prince Adolf, who do you want to pay?” The cold voice of Lady Carrie emerged from the side.

“Sister Carrie, just a little mistake. Don’t worry!” A smile had emerged from Prince Adolf’s face once again as he turned and bowed to Lady Carrie.

“Prince Adolf, if you can take off this protection guard from your body, maybe your words can sound more genuine!” Lady Carrie spoke again with the same cold voice.

Prince Adolf had totally forgotten that he still had this glowing white protection guard on his body. He noticed some guests who had not left were staring at him. Some even had a slight laughter on their faces.

That night, Prince Adolf did not sleep. Instead, he sat in the middle of his huge living room, in front of an elf wrapped in a black cloak.

“Have you found any information on Master Bennett?” Prince Adolf asked in a grim voice. The ones who understood Prince Adolf knew that this was actually his true self.

“Your majesty, I had gathered all the information of Master Bennett from my investigation department in Angstrom City according to your demand,” the black-cloaked elf said with a bow.

“That was quick; what did you find?” Prince Adolf said with a nod, showing that he was satisfied by their speed of investigation.

“Bennett first appeared the same time Lady Loraine had come back. Throughout speculation, he could be the one responsible for guarding her, and from this, he gained trust from the Grand Ducal Palace. Even his mansion was arranged by the Grand Ducal Palace. He has a very good relationship with Master Mara, and it was she who invited him to attend the Master Alchemist Examination,” said the black-cloaked elf as he continued his bow.

“I know that Loraine came back, but I wasn’t expecting Bennett to be the one to bring her back. No wonder why Grand Duke Edwina likes him so much. Lady Carrie seemed to care about her a lot as well. If something happened to him, their Grand Ducal Palace would definitely lose a lot of face,” Prince Adolf whispered.

The black-cloaked elf then continued to report, “Your majesty, our investigative department had actually tried to get rid of Bennett through a Dark Elf before he became a Master Alchemist. However, Master Alfred was there at the time, so Bennett escaped.” The elf’s investigation department had their own rights to command, and partnering up with Dark Elves was something they do commonly.

“It’s good that you failed. Just keep an eye on him. Send out as many elites as you can when you have the chance. I need to catch him alive. His potions seem interesting. I don’t care what method you use. I just need you to get the formula of those potions from him!” Said Prince Adolf in a vicious tone. First, he was mocked by Lady Carrie in his own banquet; then he was laughed at for not taking off his protection guard. He had never lost so much face in his life.
