Cursed Immortality

Chapter 397  Everything Set! 

On the 10th floor of the Alchemy Guild.

Daisy was looking at five robust men with an extremely dark expression as those men had their heads down.

She spitefully said, ”What do you canʼt find anything about that barbarian? According to my master, he should be here with someone who needed that medicine he commissioned my master to make. Just how hard it is to find a sick or injured person? I think you guys donʼt want my masterʼs favor at all!”

”Lady Daisy, we searched high and low, but all the injured or sick had a solid background, and no one had ever seen that barbarian. We even showed his image to the barbarian community, and they told us they had never seen him. Even had gone as far as to threaten them, and they are not lying.” A man with horse-like features replied hastily.

”But how is that possible?!” Daisy grits her teeth and refuses to admit that she wonʼt be able to find Jacobʼs weakness and then exploit it and pay him back for the humiliation he caused her three days ago.

”There is no need to go on a ghost chase anymore.” At this moment, the door of the workshop was sided opened, and Sofie walked in, followed by frowning Curtis.

Daisy was momentarily surprised, seeing her master appearing all of a sudden after three days. Furthermore, she somehow found her and coldly ordered, ”You three wait outside.”

Those three didnʼt dare to disobey and left after bowing at her first. strange for some reason but couldnʼt put her finger on it.

Daisy quickly snapped out of her dazzle and asked, ”Are you done, Master?”

Sofie didnʼt reply right away but instead looked at the three men and coldly ordered, ”You three wait outside.”

Those three didnʼt dare to disobey and left after bowing at her first. Now, only Sofie, Curtis, and Daisy remained in the room.

Sofie took a seat before she spoke impassively, ”There is no need to search for Mr. Nobodyʼs companion.”

”B-but why!? Didnʼt you suspect that he had far more than just that legacy, and if we could find his weakness, then we could get all of it? He certainly gave hints that he wanted those pills desperately despite his dog-like attitude!” Daisy couldnʼt help but retort strongly. Even Curtis seemed to be agreed with Daisy.

ʼHow can I tell you that we all had been led by the nose by that deceitful bastard?! He wanted us to believe that he was desperate, so we all think we had a chance to acquire his treasures without needing to resort to violence!ʼ

Sofie wanted to scream this, but she couldnʼt as her face remained stoic, and she replied, ”Mr. Nobody and I have reached an agreement, and he agreed to give me all the inheritance and his treasures. There is indeed someone he wants to save, but I need to stay in this place for at least ten months, and we need tons of materials.

”And trust me, what Iʼve seen, ten months are nothing in front of it. Not to mention that fellow is extremely cunning, and he had hidden all those treasures before coming here. So, donʼt ask questions and do as I told you, and everything will be ours, and weʼll be able to move to a Large Alive City in no time!”

Curtis and Daisy were in disbelief when they heard Sofieʼs words.

”Elder, do you agree to a new deal?” Curtis asked with a frown.

Although he also wanted a bigger part of the pie, this entire situation seemed to be fishy. Because Sofie was the one who added him to her scheme to rob Jacob of his treasures by grabbing his weakness. But now, she was telling them to stand down?

Even Daisy felt something was wrong, but her master was hiding her expression too well, and she didnʼt think anything wouldʼve happened in the alchemy guild.

Sofie didnʼt wait or care about their reaction as she handed them a list, ”Gather these materials as much as you could from the entire Vile Witch Valley region. Use my authority, and donʼt hold back, or youʼll be answering to me. Oh, Daisy, give me your Star Watch.”

Daisy was flabbergasted by this sudden order, especially the last one, and couldnʼt help but question in a stupor, ”Whereʼs yours?”

Jacob, in the Guild Leaderʼs workshop, was playing with his new star watch as it shimmered around his wrist like his very skin was glowing.

This was the star watch that he had pocketed from Sofie, and after connecting with it, he found just why it was so expensive.

Not only this star watch was connected with his brain waves, he could use mana to operate it, and other people wonʼt even know it. Although this Star Watch was only an Intermediate Epic Rank, it was far more useful than the advanced rare rank one.

As for the advanced rank variant, according to Sofie, only the top figures of the three hegemonies can buy them. Even this intermediate one was only available for Elder Grandmasters like Sofie and canʼt be found in the open market.

Nevertheless, after getting the hang of this star watch, he saw thousands of messages in his inbox, and all of them were there because of his star news post. Furthermore, only 2-star privilege holders could message him now or his friends.

So, these senders were at least someone with 2-star privilege holders and probably the peak figures of the epic plains.

Upon closer inspection, he saw those thousands of messages were sent by 29 different start IDs, including the IDs from the three hegemonies leaders and Apocalyptic-S.

Jacobʼs lips curled up in an icy smile, ʼAt least 29 more people who had 2-star privilege other than me? They are far more than what Iʼve been expecting. Well, at least all of them seemed to be interested in my business. This means it was a massive success, and now I have also acquired a base of operation. Letʼs start with the chaos!ʼ

Now that he was sure that the star network hadnʼt sold him out, he could be at ease and stick to his plan.

Jacob then opened his bank application to see how much Zodiac Credit he had collected from that absurd entry fee he had put on his server, and he was really surprised when he saw the number!

”Current Balance: 14,719,163 ZC”
