One-Eyed Monster

Kuyi Tulan headed straight towards the Twin Star Grand Hall in Luona.

Legend has it that Rostov’s luxury in Luona is unparalleled, and the magnificence of the Twin Star Grand Hall is not inferior to the Temple of Freedom in the Imperial Capital Xinbal.

Today, however, Kuyi Tulan was disappointed.

This Twin Star Grand Hall was only slightly taller than an ordinary hall, with no grandeur to speak of; it shows that the things in legends are not always reliable.

Kuyi Tulan left his subordinates outside the hall.

This meeting with Rostov was important; it had significant implications for the future direction of the Alchemy Workshop.

After descending from Guru Mountain, he rushed back without a moment’s delay, bringing so many Treasure Hunters; the speed would inevitably be affected. But thinking of future plans, he had to bring this crowd of rabble.

As he walked, he thought about future plans. For the future of the Alchemy Workshop, he felt a major transformation was necessary, and in terms of transformation, the Governor of Luona was more adept.

His main purpose in seeing Rostov was not to seek his advice. He had other issues, those cumbersome matters that he had to discuss with Rostov in person.

Conflicts in vying for resources before the king objectively exist, but after all, they are not enemies and do share some commonalities.

Judging from the appearance of the Twin Star Grand Hall, Kuyi Tulan could analyze what kind of person Rostov was; Rostov was also trying his best to conceal his ambition and was usually very cautious, with good protective devices in every blind spot of the Twin Star Grand Hall.

Kuyi Tulan’s lips curled. Such devices could not prevent master assassins but could defend against his own subordinates. This attitude indicated that Rostov’s team was not stable.

This gave him an opportunity, an opportunity to communicate with Rostov.

Rostov must have seen this point as well; that must be why he agreed to meet him.

When Kuyi Tulan decided to come here, many opposed it, arguing that the Alchemy Workshop was at a critical moment and the chief shouldn’t take risks. Going to Luona was uncertain; whether the people there harbored hostility towards them was unknown. After all, rumors were still numerous and detailed. It’s understandable that the public secretly perceived the Alchemy Workshop and the Governor of Luona as adversaries due to their rivalry for resources before the king.

Kuyi Tulan knew the specifics himself and understood that Rostov was no fool, so he insisted on coming to this place.

Eventually, they reached an agreement; Kuyi Tulan, accompanied by Brad, Joela, and Pedro, went to Luona, while Milo led the others back to the Alchemy Workshop.

After reaching an agreement, they set off, and now Kuyi Tulan stood in the Twin Star Grand Hall.

Beside the chairperson position in the grand hall stood a middle-aged man with a sturdy build, hands behind his back, standing straight, exuding an aura of authority.

This was naturally the Governor of Luona, Rostov.

”Welcome to Luona,” Rostov said loudly, his voice resonating throughout the grand hall.

”Governor’s magnanimity and spirit are truly admirable,” Kuyi Tulan crossed his hands before his chest and saluted Rostov.

”Haha, are you so sure I am the real Rostov?” Rostov replied, showing a sudden interest in this Alchemy Workshop messenger.

”It’s an intuition; for someone who can meet openly with the Alchemy Workshop, if not the Governor himself, such a meeting would lose its significance.”

”Well said. I agree. We usually don’t have much contact, just slightly different choices.” Rostov continued.

”Indeed, we both serve the Empire.”

”The housekeeper mentioned there were four of you; why have you entered alone?” Rostov found this peculiar, as the usual protocol would be to enter together.

”Isn’t the Governor here alone as well? Moreover, the Governor specifically dismissed that exceptional Hunter League Guard.”

Rostov was taken aback upon hearing this, not expecting the sensitivity of this Alchemy Workshop messenger. There was no doubt about Roots’ strength, yet this fellow could sense it, indicating he wasn’t simple. This fellow seemed to be more than just a Golden Seats holder.

Rostov began to scrutinize this Alchemy Workshop messenger closely. Despite appearing young and therefore unlikely to be one of the elders of the Alchemy Workshop, the aura this messenger emitted was strong, indicating he was a prominent figure in the Alchemy Workshop.

Rostov recalled the members of the Alchemy Workshop’s organization. Among the promising young generation, Chief Kuyi Tulan was the most notable.

Looking back at this Alchemy Workshop messenger, he exuded the essence of the Alchemy Workshop Chief from head to toe.

”If my eyes are not deceiving me, you must be the current Chief of the Alchemy Workshop, Kuyi Tulan.” Rostov phrased it as a question, ensuring he wouldn’t state anything without confidence. As a Politician, he couldn’t speak recklessly, and he was naturally cautious.

”The Governor has sharp eyes; it is indeed myself,” Kuyi Tulan admitted frankly without concealment.

This visit was never meant for excessive guessing with Rostov; it was to be candid and open.

”Haha, the Chief of the Alchemy Workshop, that’s rare, that’s rare.” Rostov found the situation becoming interesting.

”The fact that the Governor would meet me indicates some understanding of our Alchemy Workshop, doesn’t it?”

”Haha, not entirely. The Chief should have been on Guru Mountain before; coincidentally, my child was being mischievous there at the time, so I had to send the League Guard to bring him back.”

”I met the Governor’s League Guard on Guru Mountain,” Kuyi Tulan replied without hiding anything.

”I must say, your pace is swift. My child and their group haven’t yet returned; I just received their Mail Bird.” Rostov remarked, signaling to Kuyi Tulan that his every move was known and couldn’t be hidden.

”Since the Governor understands the situation on Guru Mountain, there’s no need for me to elaborate. I am here representing the Alchemy Workshop.”

”Yes, the Alchemy Workshop listens to you. Is there something you wish to discuss with me?”

”I wouldn’t call it something specific, just a few minor proposals.”

”Proposals?”

”Yes!”
