41 Objective (2/2)

Monchi's feelings toward his younger brother were very complicated. He felt some unfamiliarity, some respect, and even some dread, because he had power that Monchi couldn't even imagine.

But Monchi knew that even if the whole Monchi family was burnt to the ground one day, as long as Solan was still there, the family could be rebuilt overnight.

Monchi never doubted Solan's words. Even when Solan told Monchi to find a way to get the house that Locke Merlin left behind, he immediately sought out Fario. Now, Solan urged him to get the two potions, so he immediately bid 4 000 000 gold for them.

”Uncle… What did Uncle say?”

”You shouldn't ask what you shouldn't ask.”

”Yes...”

After giving Mason an unhappy glare, Monchi slowly sat down and looked at the two potions...

Locke Merlin had already died, and the Flashing Gold chamber of commerce had already collapsed.

It was time for the Monchi family to get involved in the alchemy business.

This was the true reason that Monchi spent 4 000 000 gold to win these two potions.

The Monchi Family wanted to take over the alchemy market of Thousand Sails City. It wasn't a new goal. At first, the Monchis couldn't get much of the market share because of Locke Merlin and his Flashing Gold chamber of commerce. But ever since the death of Locke Merlin and the fall of the Flashing Gold chamber of commerce, the Monchi Family's desire to annex the alchemy market was getting stronger every day.

For this reason, Monchi had already written a few dozen letters to Solan, wanting to get some support from the Black Tower. But unfortunately, Solan also had his own things to deal with and had never given Monchi an answer in the affirmative.

Until now.

The sudden appearance of the two potions made Monchi realize that this might be an opportunity, and thus, he immediately sent someone to notify Ryan and have him contact Solan to inform him of the existence of the potions. And just as expected, after hearing Ryan's explanation, the two potions immediately caught the attention of the higher-ups of the Black Tower.

Immediately afterwards, Ryan brought Solan's words back to Monchi at the venue, and the price of these two potions went up to 4 000 000 gold.

To Monchi, the support of the Black Tower was far more important. In contrast, what was 4 000 000 gold to him? As long as he was able to take over the alchemy market left behind by the Flashing Gold chamber of commerce, let alone spending 4 000 000 gold, he would even be willing to go bankrupt.

The potential profits of an alchemy business... Monchi was very clear about this.

”Oh right, Ryan…” Monchi suddenly remembered that the Gilded Rose was also still in the alchemy market, so he told his older son, ”Pay attention to the movements of the Gilded Rose, I keep having a feeling that there is something wrong with that Merlin kid.”

In fact, Monchi didn't pay much attention to Merlin at the start. Even if he brought about the recovery of the Gilded Rose, even if he made the 9th Rank Mage go home with his tail between his legs, in Monchi's eyes, these things weren't too alarming. A small Gilded Rose, a newly advanced Mage, Monchi could have him crushed like an ant just by raising his hand.

But today, Monchi suddenly felt some uncertainty...

At the start, that kid won the Styx Water with fifty thousand gold. Monchi had been worried about whether another force was getting involved, which might make it difficult for him to get his hands on that old house, but afterwards, Lin Yun fought him for the Red Flame Fish Oil, and surprisingly used 1 200 000 gold. There was no mistake there, he bid 1 200 000 gold and then received the item. Even when Locke Merlin was alive, getting such a large amount wasn't easy, not to mention the fact that a few months ago, Mafa Merlin couldn't even produce eight thousand gold to pay his debt.

Monchi was sure that this time, there was definitely a problem with Mafa Merlin.

This time, Monchi was completely on guard, he hadn't paid attention to the small Gilded Rose before, but he couldn't continue like that. No one could be clearer about the shipwreck of Locke Merlin than Monchi. If he ignored the Gilded Rose and let Mafa Merlin grow, he would regret it sooner or later.

Fortunately, there should still be time...

After Monchi gave instructions to Ryan, he looked back at the two potions. 'Since your Gilded Rose is in the alchemy business, when those two Great Alchemists arrive, your Gilded Rose will be completely uprooted.'

Monchi sank into contemplation while Mason was growing very anxious. The auction had been over for a while, so why did his father look as if he had no plans to leave? 'What should I do? If I waste time, that Merlin kid will definitely get away, I might not have such a good opportunity next time.'

Mason was jittery and restless for a long time before he finally found a reason to slip away.

Of course, this wasn't because Mason was quick-witted and managed to find an exceptionally good reason; it was because Monchi's mind was filled with thoughts of how to deal with the Gilded Rose. He had no time to spend on that kid, that's all.
