33 Styx Water (1/2)

Lin Yun indeed didn't do anything.

Because the one who made a move was Faleau, and he didn't even ask any questions as he directly slapped Jonathan senseless.

He didn't care if this old man was a butler of the Monchi family. All he had been worried about was atoning for his earlier crime and mending his relations with the future Master Alchemist. When Jonathan came over with such an attitude, after getting Cadgar's instructions, how could Faleau pay any heed to a mere butler? He just went straight over and slapped him.

”Mage Merlin, let's go and sit, don't let this trivial matter ruin your mood…” After bad-mouthing Jonathan, Faleau's sneer was replaced with a smile. The speed at which his expression changed was rather shocking.

”Sure, let's go…”

”You can't go, you definitely aren't allowed to go in!” Hearing that the two wanted to enter, Jonathan immediately jumped up. ”You still dare to act up after slapping me? Guards, capture these two for me!”

”Shut up!” Just as Jonathan was calling out, the door of a box above opened and Monchi himself came out. ”Get inside, don't embarrass me.”

After Monchi's words came out, the first floor was silent once again.

Jonathan's animated voice suddenly came to a halt, and as he gave the two young men a hateful glance, he escaped into Monchi's box.

”Sorry about that, President Monchi, I didn't control my strength,” Faleau shouted as Jonathan was climbing the stairs, making the latter suddenly stagger and almost fall down.

”Look at what you have done for me!” After the box was closed, Monchi's expression was quite unsightly. ”You provoked that Faleau? He's a young Alchemist that even Cadgar thinks highly of and you made things difficult for him, are you crazy?”

”I… I'm not… Master, I only saw that kid of the Merlin family…”

”Shut up! Are you done causing trouble for me?” After berating Jonathan, Monchi couldn't help feeling puzzled. ”However, how could that Merlin kid stand together with Faleau? And it even seemed like they had a good relationship…”

”They should have gotten acquainted by chance,” Mason interjected on the side, fuming. ”That Mafa Merlin's luck is very good. It was the same last time in the Sage Tower, I don't know how he got into Solon's good books and had me kicked out of the library.”

Being born in the Monchi clan, the number of times Mason had publicly suffered a loss could be counted on his fingers. He didn't know why things had played out like that. First, he was kicked out from the Sage Tower's library, and when he went to look for trouble at the Gilded Rose, he was instead forced to eat a glass bottle.

How could Mason be fine with this!?

Mason had constantly been looking for an opportunity to retaliate since he came back from the Gilded Rose. But he didn't expect that after his father and elder brother discussed it, they would forbid him from returning to the Gilded Rose. Since Lin Yun had shown up in the Black Horn Auction House today, Mason immediately started plotting his revenge.

”You still dare to mention the matter of the Sage Tower?” Monchi looked at Mason unhappily, but he strangely didn't deny Mason's guess.

Because Monchi himself felt that these two young men should have met by accident and ended up hitting it off for some reason, perhaps due to having the same hobby. In any case, they had met and formed a favorable relationship.

Otherwise, Faleau wouldn't have stepped in to help Mafa Merlin, let alone stealthily preparing a special box for him. After all, these boxes were set aside for the leaders of the local major forces. Even if only a few came to this auction, they wouldn't casually let others use the unoccupied ones. If Cadgar found out, he would certainly reprimand and punish Faleau. For Faleau to take this risk was proof that the friendship between them was quite solid.

But regardless of how good it was, it was just a new friendship, so it wouldn't have too big of an influence. If not for his butler being involved, Monchi wouldn't even have spared a thought for the matter.

After coming to this conclusion, Monchi decided to just leave this problem be. He only said to Jonathan, ”You don't need to look so pitiful, wait until the auction is over and I'll seek out Cadgar. The butler of my Monchi family isn't someone that can be slapped on a whim.”

”Thank you Master, thank you…” Jonathan promptly bowed and expressed his gratitude, his mind already crafting a plot. 'After the auction is over, if Master steps in personally, Cadgar most likely won't interfere. How should those two be humiliated... Well, there is still a lot of time to think about this.'

Jonathan definitely didn't know that there was another person in the neighboring box thinking about the same thing.

'That Jonathan is too daring, he dared to disrespect Mage Merlin. Just wait until the auction is over, I'll show him!' As Faleau led Lin Yun to his seat while beaming, he kept the unlucky butler in mind.

To Faleau, this was like an opportunity delivering itself to him. He had been worried that there was nothing he could do to curry favor with this future Master Alchemist, but then that Jonathan suddenly arrived with his high and mighty attitude. This really made Faleau not know what to say for a moment, it was so lucky. Moreover, he could also act overbearing by relying on Cadgar's reputation. Dealing with a small butler in the Black Horn Auction House was too easy!

Such an easy way to curry favor with a future Master Alchemist, was there something more profitable?
