If the matter had been easy, Xu Yuan wouldn’t have accompanied Su Wan.
“I’m sorry,” said President Nami. “The Qing You Pavilion Chamber of Commerce would have helped you if we could. However, we have no such treasure. Treasures like that aren’t even found in the main market.
Nami was deep in thought. A treasure that could subdue and recruit a hero would be immensely rare and valuable. It was not easy to obtain something like that.
“Today is the opening day for the black market. Perhaps you can try your luck there. You might just find something,” said President Nami. “In the black market, there is a shop called Red Dragon Store. The shop sells all kinds of strange items. Maybe you can find something there. If you are barred from the shop, you can mention my name. They’ll let you in.”
Su Wan was delighted. President Nami was a great help already. “Thank you so much!”
Su Wan and Xu Yuan bid her farewell and prepared to visit the black market.
Su Wan decided to be more subtle about the whole thing. She wouldn’t ask about the treasure outright. She first wanted to observe the things in the black market to make sure it was safe to mention the treasure. Even if she had Xu Yuan by her side, she wasn’t willing to risk it.
…..
Zorro led them out. He saw them off at the door and returned to the office. “The Lord doesn’t disappoint.”
Lord Su Wan was smart and got straight to the point. There was also the Dark Demon Dragon who had transformed into a human man.
Also, the fact that Tristana had given away the manor so easily meant that she saw some value in the Lord that would come in handy later.
“President Nami… you told them about the Red Dragon Store. Isn’t that a little…”
“The Lord is extraordinary, is she not? Hopefully, she’ll find what she’s looking for. The Red Dragon Store doesn’t eat people. The owner is good and honest. Maybe Su Wan will be able to get the treasure she needs, after all.” Nami looked at the bottles of honey on the table.
Su Wan had risen so fast through the ranks even if she didn’t look that intimidating. Who knew what kind of power the Dark Demon Dragon held?
The two Lords went straight to the Dragon and Snake Inn.
The two players left Lavender Manor and arrived at the Mixed Dragon and Snake Inn.
“Is he here?” asked one of the Lords.
“On the second floor,” said the maid solemnly as she stared at their shabby clothes.
The two Lords smiled at her and headed upstairs. A bald man sat by the window, sipping at his drink.
“Brother Knight!”
“Hey! I haven’t seen you two for quite a while!” exclaimed the bald man. “So, how’s it going? Got anything out of the Lavender Manor yet?”
“Brother Knight, everything is good. We have managed to snag a high-level mission from some very important people. We hope you can help.”
“As you already know, Lavender Manor is owned by the Frostwolf family. The eldest daughter of the Frostwolf Grand Duke, Tristana, has returned,” said the other Lord.
“Wow… so you received a mission from the eldest daughter of the Frostwolf Grand Duke?! Not bad!” said the bald man.
One of the Lords shook his head. “Not her.”
“Then… the butler?” said the bald man.
“Not from the butler, either.”
“Then who?” said the bald man impatiently.
“When Tristana returned, there was someone else with her. Do you know the first thing Tristana did when she returned to the manor?” asked one of the Lords.
“What?”
“She gave away the Lavender Manor to the guests.”
The bald man’s impatience disappeared. He was finally interested in knowing more. “Is that supposed to be a joke? Why would she give away her manor just like that?”
“We heard it with our own ears!” said one of the Lords smugly.
“So, you received this… mission from that person?” asked the bald man.
The Lord nodded. “The rewards are tempting. If we can help her, she’ll give us two A-class treasures.”
” Two A-class treasures?!” The bald man’s eyes widened.
A-class treasures were considered top-quality treasures. S-class treasures were almost impossible to obtain via missions.
“What kind of mission is it?”
The two Lords didn’t hide anything. “As long as you can provide information about the treasure they need, you can just go and claim the reward.”
The two Lords held back the identity of the one who had assigned the mission. So, no matter who got the information, they’d have to find the two Lords to know who to approach to claim the reward.
The bald man noticed that the two Lords didn’t give away the name of the one who had assigned the mission. To be able to survive till now, the two people were far from fools.
“I just hope you are serious about this and not playing a bad joke on me. Otherwise, I’ll make you experience real pain.”
“Brother Knight, we are not outsiders. We came to you because we want you to benefit from this too. This mission is just the beginning. There will be many other benefits in the future if we get onto that person’s good side. Do you want to get on their good side too?”
The bald man nodded.
“It’s all settled now! If there’s any news, you come to us, alright? We’ll go together.”
The bald man asked for more details. After confirming that the two of them were telling the truth, he spread the news.
The tavern was the hotspot for Lords and other adventurers alike. It did not take long for the news to spread.
As long as they obtained any information about the Soul Contract, they would visit the tavern to claim the treasure!
A-class treasures were already considered very rare among the Lords. Many people just gave up on obtaining them because it was so difficult to find them.
The news spread so fast from the tavern that every corner of Canglan City was abuzz with the mention of the treasure.
After leaving the Qing You Pavilion Chamber of Commerce, Su Wan, Xu Yuan, and Tristana took a carriage and headed to the black market..
