292 Transaction (1/2)

Thus, Ross personally went to visit Ofran at dawn.

At that time, Ofran finally confirmed his conjecture.

The person that killed Stan Watson was sent by Mafa.

In other words, the thing he wanted was most likely in Mafa's hands.

Ross didn't tarry after getting his answer and rushed over, but he was stopped by William outside the door, and for a few days, too. Ross couldn't do anything, because William wasn't the same William anymore. Although he couldn't completely pressure him, Ross still didn't have confidence.

But he would never get what he wanted if he didn't ask.

That thing was too important to Ross. No matter the price, Ross had to get it.

All Ross could do now was to come here every morning at dawn, hoping to meet Mafa.

He was sure that it would be a lot simpler if William wouldn't block his way, as he would be able to raise his conditions and try to negotiate.

Even if Mafa was the owner of the Gilded Rose and had vast wealth in Thousand Sails City, that city was only a small place in the east of the kingdom. There were many things that couldn't be bought in Thousand Sails City even if one had money...

Such as all kinds of rare magic materials, or formidable magic items, or even advanced alchemy techniques and profound knowledge.

Ross had a lot of techniques and knowledge in his hands, which had been accumulated through many years of going on expeditions to various planes. Those things wouldn't be easy to get, even with Mafa's wealth.

Using those, he could happily deal with Mafa.

The issue was how to circumvent William.

”Oh, Cousin, you are finally out!” As Ross was secretly planning, William suddenly turned and said this with a pleasantly surprised expression and a polite smile.

'It looks like this Mafa's wealth is more shocking than I thought…” Ross saw this and couldn't help sighing. 'William's strength already reached mine, that of a peak existence in the younger generation, yet, when facing the boss of the Gilded Rose, he still remains so polite and curries favor. He must have gotten many benefits from him.'

”Yes.” Lin Yun nodded. After spending a few days, he finally adapted to his new Magic Array. He was about to test it in order to get some data, but he suddenly remembered that it was the day of the Black Horn Auction, so he cleaned himself up and left the room.

”How is it? Did you make any progress in the past few days?” William was naturally asking about his younger cousin's Magic Conducting Rune.

After all, William had personally seen his younger cousin's circumstances when he reached the High Mage realm, he'd seen the process of Mafa fusing his Magic Conducting Runes. William was extremely curious. He wanted to know what level his terrifying cousin had reached.

”Made some improvements.” Lin Yun didn't want to talk about this now and only nodded. ”Isn't today the day of the Black Horn Auction?”

”Eh? The Black Horn Auction…” Those simple words suddenly made William smile bitterly. ”I'm afraid there isn't enough time. The Black Horn Auction starts at ten and it's already nine, even if we rush from here, I'm not sure we can make it fast enough to gain entry on time…”

”It's fine, let's rush over first.” Before leaving for Okland, Cadgar had gone to the Gilded Rose to look for him and had told him to visit him at the Black Horn chamber of commerce at all cost. He gave Lin Yun a ring and told him that as long as he had that ring, he would be able to enter any Black Horn Auctions without anyone blocking his path.

”Alright then, let's hurry…”

The two were about to depart when Ross interjected, ”Mafa, Cousin Mafa, please wait a moment…”

”You are?” Lin Yun was originally in a hurry when that person suddenly called out to him, leaving him in a bad mood. He looked at Ross with some annoyance.

”He is Ross Merlin, you met him a few days ago,” William promptly explained when he saw this situation. He also glanced at Ross while thinking, 'I've been too good to you, saving your life every day…'

”Oh.” Lin Yun nodded to acknowledge him. ”I am now in a hurry to go to the Black Horn Auction, can your matter wait until I return?”

”No, hold on!” Ross had been waiting for quite a few days before finally meeting Mafa Merlin himself, so how could he let him leave like that? Seeing the other begin turning to the side to leave, Ross raised his magic staff in a moment of desperation to forcibly stop them.

There was nothing wrong with Ross' action.

After all, Lin Yun had already gained some distance, and his hand wouldn't be able to block his path, but his long staff could!
