Grantlyn Evans!

His cheap father who’s forever good at digging pits for his son!

Grantlyn wore a long, black silk robe. It was unadorned except for the collar and sleeves that were lined with silver, perfectly complementing his silver hair which glistened like a waterfall. His eyes were no longer light silver but were a deep crimson instead. It was like blood that couldn’t be erased, giving people a feeling of viciousness.

Suo Fei’s eyes blazed with anger. If looks could kill, Grantlyn would have long been riddled with gaping wounds.

What a scum father! He caused his son to flee and his wife’s life to be at stake, and yet here he is still wandering around so leisurely!

He could actually still be at large after committing such a transgression against his own race?

Are all of the Elves dead? Manzy Argoux, what’s the use of you being the strongest Elven warrior?!

Suo Fei was furious. The mere thought of Vixanne and the last time he saw her would make his heart twist in pain. Thus, when he saw the root cause of her suffering once again, he gnashed his teeth in anger and almost lost his sense of reason. All he wanted to do was to rush up to him and ruthlessly beat him up.

It was at this time that Samael gently held his hand, the warmth of his palm calming Suo Fei’s nerves.

Grantlyn also saw Suo Fei. He glanced at Suo Fei’s direction. Then, his lips curled up ever so slightly at the corners and his eyes were tinged with ice-cold mockery.

Suo Fei was instantly riled up. F**k, my heart would truly be ill at ease if I didn’t settle old scores with this scum. However, he knew that he could not risk being impulsive at this moment.

Grantlyn wasn’t alone. He walked ahead and there was another person following behind him. It was a dark-skinned man. He looked unfamiliar but his long, narrow eyes were viciously riveted onto Suo Fei.

Suo Fei looked at him and realised that the man was one of the black-robed men who had attacked the Elves that day. He had helped Grantlyn slaughter the Elves and had also spoken to him. When the man saw Suo Fei looking at him, he silently mouthed something. Suo Fei couldn’t understand as he could not lip-read, but Samael dangerously narrowed his eyes.

Suo Fei took a deep breath and finally managed to press down his anger. Samael had yet to recover his fighting strength so they could not afford to be ignorantly impulsive. The most imperative matter at the moment was to obtain beast blood.

As if he didn’t know these two people, he calmly looked away and turned to leave together with Samael.

It was more time-consuming to buy special items in Benesse’s lower layer as each stall was run by only one person. Furthermore, the quantity of an item was usually relatively small thus if one wanted to purchase in bulk, they would have to ask the stalls one by one, which was truly troublesome.

Therefore, it would save him time to directly go to Benesse’s middle layer. However, the items would also be relatively more expensive. Suo Fei still had some money at hand so he didn’t want to continue wasting time in the lower layer and thus proposed to stroll around the middle layer.

Jonah and Evelyn were still interested in looking around the lower layer. Hence, Suo Fei decided to let them stay and arranged a time to meet up with them at the city gate.

Then, he took the lift together with Samael and went to the middle layer.

Compared with the bustling lower layer, the middle layer was quieter. Although there were still a lot of people, the scene changed from scattered stalls to orderly interspersed shops, improving the overall ambience of the place.

It was also extremely well-planned. The entire middle layer was divided into several sections, such as the raw materials section, auxiliary materials section, equipment section, and many more.

Each section was also detailedly divided into sub-sections, thus enabling customers who had come to purchase items to easily find what they wanted. This allowed them to save time and made shopping more convenient for them. Although the price was more expensive than the lower layer, it was worth it considering the trouble-free experience that came with it.

The brief meeting with Grantlyn had ruined Suo Fei’s mood. However, his still-sour mood slightly lifted when he was greeted by the sight of the middle layer.

He followed the signs to the raw materials section and then went to the shop that sold beast blood.

Antonio was a Beastkin healer. This pairing was considered as the most unpopular out of all the unpopular pairings in Yalance. Most of the Beastkins had a straightforward and easy-going personality. They revere strength and love fighting. They didn’t like to pay attention to detail, thus Beastkins who had professions such as a healer could be counted with one’s fingers.

Nevertheless, this did not mean that Beastkins ostracised healers. On the contrary, Beastkins were very protective of them. They believed that Beastkins who chose to become healers of their own accord were doing a contribution to their own race. They felt that those Beastkins gave up on their own dreams in order to serve their motherland, which was a behaviour that deserved respect.

Unfortunately, the innate disposition of the Beastkin race deemed them unsuitable to be a healer. Even though it was Antonio’s passion, it was difficult for him to succeed even after studying diligently for years. If he was unable to prescribe potions, there was no way for him to sell them. He was unable to make money but he still persisted in becoming a healer, this kind of profession that requires a lot of money. Thus, he had to find new ways of making money.

Using what he had accumulated for the past few years, he set up a shop in Benesse’s middle layer. He wanted to earn money by selling raw materials in order to continue studying potions.

Recently, he bought beast blood in large quantities at a very low price in the lower layer of Benesse. Although Antonio knew that the beast blood was not in great demand, he felt that the low price was worth the risk. Thus, he bought all of them at once.

Then, he felt regret after buying them. Beast blood had a short shelf life and he could not store all of them in his low-quality interspatial bag. Furthermore, he had such a large quantity that it was simply unrealistic to be able to sell them quickly.

Although he would not lose much even if he threw the beast blood away, he could not overcome the mental hurdle. He felt that it would be too wasteful and regrettable.

Under such circumstances, when Suo Fei and Samael came to his store and offered to buy beast blood, Antonio’s eyes shone in delight and he attentively received them.

For some reason, Suo Fei had always had a good impression of the Beastkins. Therefore, at this moment, when he saw the young beastkin healer, Suo Fei immediately felt well-disposed towards him.

Suo Fei’s impression of him improved even further when Antonio showed him a huge tank filled with beast blood.

He immediately conveyed, “I’ll buy all of these. Just name your price.”

Antonio didn’t expect that the Elf would buy all of them. He only paid a hundred gold coins for the beast blood. He was already happy that he was able to sell them off so he didn’t want to ask for a sky-high price. He only marked up the price slightly, “A hundred twenty gold coins will do. “

Suo Fei was shocked. A hundred and twenty gold coins? That’s too cheap! Especially in Benesse’s middle layer, this place where money is spent like it’s water.

Antonio stared at him in silence. He thought that Suo Fei was reluctant to buy it so he hurriedly added, “The beast blood is extremely pure but it doesn’t have much use so it has been here for a while. I also think...”

“Three hundred gold coins.” Samael suddenly interrupted Antonio.

Antonio looked at the demon in surprise. Beastkins had burly physiques but they were not tall. Thus, he had to look up to make eye contact with the tall demon.

Samael looked at him and said, “I’ll pay you three hundred gold coins for the beast blood.” He paused before continuing, “I will also pay you fifty thousand gold coins in advance. Buy as much beast blood as you can. I will buy everything as long as the purity is greater than this beast blood. You can decide on the price. “

Antonio felt as if... a gold bar fell from the sky and landed on his head!

Samael took out a rectangular pouch and passed it to Suo Fei. Suo Fei was caught unaware so he opened it before immediately closing it.

It was so bright that it blinded his titanium alloy dog eyes. It was filled with shining, shimmering gold coins!

How could I have not known that this person is a moving treasure trove? Oh my. Dage, you are too secretive.

Holding the bag, Suo Fei understood what Samael wanted him to do. It seemed like he wanted him to use it for payment. However, Suo Fei had already planned long ago. Although fifty thousand gold coins might be a huge sum, it still paled in comparison to what he could give. He had taken Samael’s Frostflame Beast before. Hence, he needed to compensate Samael for it at this moment. He felt that it was his obligation to help Samael acquire beast blood.

Therefore, he passed the bag back to Samael, “I have money. I will pay.”

“I know,” Samael looked at Suo Fei and continued, “Keep it for me.”

Suo Fei: ......

Great. Sociophobia, this tsundere, would always come whenever he gets flustered. Suo Fei stood tongue-tied and didn’t make a sound.

Samael tightly held his hand, moved closer and asked in a whisper, “Didn’t you say that you’ll never leave me?”

So close. Suo Fei could even see Samael’s eyelashes clearly. His brain suddenly malfunctioned and he was wholly absorbed in the important task of counting Samael’s eyelashes...

As Samael asked a question, he nodded by habit.

When Samael saw him nod in agreement, he pulled away slightly and told him, “Alright, go and pay for me. I’m penniless right now.”

Suo Fei continued nodding.

It wasn’t until he entered the inner room with Antonio that he recovered from his daze. Can someone explain to me why he would give me all his money just because I said that I would never leave him?

Whose language teacher is at fault?

At this moment, the beastkin Antonio sighed and said, “Your lover treats you well.” Then he sighed again before he continued despondently, “When can I find someone who can entrust his entire wealth to me?”

Suo Fei was petrified.

When Suo Fei and Antonio entered the inner room, Samael’s warm expression cooled into iciness.

There was no one outside the door, but he stared straight at a spot with his left hand on his waist.

“Don’t. I don’t bear any ill will.” A voice suddenly rang out, and a figure appeared.

His light purple hair flowed gently behind him. Emia removed his disguise, revealing his original appearance. His long and narrow phoenix eyes were raised slightly upwards and his thin lips were a natural shade of red. A hint of a smile could be seen in his eyes, filled with elegance and charm.

It was exactly the person who Suo Fei claimed was a cheating Seer.

Samael expressionlessly stared at him and Emia exaggeratedly waved his hand and spoke, “I dare not offend you. I’ve been following you merely because I wanted to have a word with you.”

“I don’t know you,” Samael replied. The implication was that they were strangers to one another, thus there was nothing to say between them. It was an outright refusal.

Nevertheless, Emia wasn’t angry. He merely hummed in response before continuing, “I’m just entrusted by someone to convey something to you.”

“Hey hey, don’t look at me like that. I’ll immediately leave after saying it. I can’t beat you in a fight.”

Emia took a deep breath. Then, his face turned serious as he spoke out a foreign but profound language. His pleasant voice turned into a low and husky voice that seemed to reverberate endlessly from ancient times.

It wasn’t the common language of Yalance. Even Samael, who could speak the languages of all the races, had to strain his ears to catch the words.

When Emia completed his task, he breathed a sigh of relief and resumed the appearance of an enchantress and bid farewell, “Okay then, see you when I see you.”

After speaking, he slipped away faster than a rabbit.

At this moment, Suo Fei came out after suffering from all kinds of embarrassment. He had signed a contract with Antonio and had paid gold coins in advance according to their agreement. He understood Samael’s intentions. Benesse City was the largest trading market in Yalance. If they had someone like Antonio to gather beast blood for them, it would save them a lot of trouble. It was worth it even if they had to spend a huge amount of money.

Antonio was also pleased with their transaction. He was not good at doing business. He was substandard when compared to those talented goblins. The meager profits he earned was barely enough to sustain him. But now, Samael had paid him fifty thousand gold coins in advance. Moreover, he only needed to buy beast blood, this kind of unpopular material. It was truly the case of a good thing falling into his lap.

It might be difficult to find beast blood that was as cheap as the one he previously bought, but he could easily purchase beast blood at their original price. In this way, he could save a lot of time and have enough money to study potions. This job suited him perfectly.

Therefore, when he heard that Suo Fei was going to the upper layer of the city of Benesse, he earnestly showed them the passageway that was only known to sellers.

The upper layer of Benesse City only allowed a certain number of customers inside. One had to obediently line up regardless of their status. Naturally, people were not lined up as if they were buying a movie ticket. There was an assigned rest area for people to wait in. The luxurious and exquisite furnishings naturally would not infuriate those who are waiting.

However, Antonio had lived in Benesse for a long time. Thus, he knew of another way to enter the upper layer.

He temporarily closed his store and brought Samael and Suo Fei to the upper layer of Benesse.

The upper layer of Benesse could be likened to the peak of a pyramid. The place was much smaller than the lower layer and the middle layer, but its elegance was also dozens of times greater.

The ornaments that greeted his eyes were not blindingly extravagant. On the contrary, they exuded an elegance that was reflected by the countless details that attract the viewer’s eyes.

Suo Fei and Samael had resumed their original appearance.

Antonio left after bringing them to the upper layer. Suo Fei and Samael had only walked for a short while when a goblin came up to them and respectfully asked, “Excuse me, is Your Excellency surnamed Evans?”

Suo Fei was shocked. Why does this goblin know who I am?

The goblin was still gazing at him.

Suo Fei nodded in agreement, “Yes.”

The goblin gave Suo Fei the two jade tokens in his hand. Suo Fei lowered his head to look at it. The surface of the jade token was carved with a name, ‘Grantlyn Evans’.

Suo Fei’s eyes narrowed into slits and his confusion was instantly cleared up.

There were very few silver-eyed Pureblood elves in itself. Furthermore, both of them were being accompanied by a demon to the upper layer of Benesse at the same time. That person must have made an appointment...

What a wonderful coincidence.

The author has something to say: How is it that nobody figured out that Emia was the mysterious (cheating) person (scum) who exposed his face and touched the crystal ball at the end of the chapter 32?

Why do people assume that it’s Manzy? Manzy clearly has silver eyes. Emia has light purple eyes and so does the mysterious person. Also, this color is extremely rare. I emphasised it so many times, ying ying ying.
