Chapter 324
Chapter 324 Love and Transaction
Several black lines appeared on everyone’s foreheads.
Greem, the subject himself, couldn’t help but betray an awkward expression. He let out an angry snort. Blinding scarlet light appeared from within his body. The fire elementium in the air quickly gathered, forming an armor of fire over his body.
The air around Greem suddenly became hazy.
Under ordinary circumstances, Greem’s actions would have been considered a provocation from a First Grade adept to a Second Grade adept. If Sanazar hadn’t been here, Nina would have been able to punish him as she wanted. The Sarubo Clan wouldn’t have had a proper reason to pursue Nina for her actions against Greem.
However, now that Lady Sanazar was present, Greem had to be more domineering in his actions!
However, Witch Nina didn’t seem to have realized Greem’s affront. She raised an eyebrow, and her smile became even broader. There was also a trace of appreciation in her eyes.
It would be a mistake to look down upon the Northern Witches just because they were mostly composed of females. They were well-known fighters, even amongst the three large adept organizations. The reason the witches were able to secure the Northern Lands on the Continent of Adepts, where magical creatures ran wild, had a lot to do with their ferocious talent for combat.
“Ah……”
“Gah!”
It wasn’t just Nina that was shocked. Even Endor’s mouth had opened wide from the news.
How was this possible? She had brought up Alice on her own. Alice had just risen to a pseudo-adept. How had she advanced to a witch in such a short time? Was he intentionally lying to Nina?
Even Lady Nina couldn’t help but cast her gaze at the green mist.
Sanazar’s ear-piercing voice came out from the mist once again.
“I can verify his words. That little girl successfully advanced yesterday. Thus, we have no apprentice witch Alice here in the Sarubo Clan. What we do have is a proper Witch Alice!”
Nina looked at the green mist doubtfully and turned to look at Endor again. She was still full of suspicion, but she didn’t dare doubt the truth of a Third Grade adept’s words.
Nina might have been caught unprepared by the news of Alice’s advancement, but she only thought of it as a mistake in the information from the clan. She wasn’t nearly as shocked as Endor was.
No! The more exceptional she was, the more the reason to kill her off!
A cold gleam reflected in Nina’s crystal blue eyes.
“Three hundred thousand. As long as you are willing to give up on Alice, I will……”
“Lady Nina, are you sure that a witch-level candidate for the Witch of Fate is only worth three hundred thousand?” Greem’s words were dripping with sarcasm.
Nina’s mouth twitched.
“Four hundred thousand!”
Greem didn’t reply, but the disdain in his eyes said it all.
“Five hundred…” Nina was already grinding her teeth together. The little bit of admiration she had for Greem disappeared. The ferocious glare she was directing at Greem was like that of a predator in a dark forest.
Five hundred thousand magic crystals! This price was more than enough to hire a Second Grade adept to serve as a bodyguard for two entire years!
Sanazar’s sinister laugh rang out from within the mist.
It seemed even she couldn’t remain unfazed but the sum of money that Nina offered!
Endor’s mouth just opened wider and wider. Her brain couldn’t quite process what she saw with how bizarre things had started to turn out.
My good god. Five hundred thousand magic crystals. Even with her fearsome reputation and her station at the Zhentarim area, the Moya Clan only paid her three thousand crystals a year. And this Witch Nina was willing to use five hundred thousand magic crystals to exchange for a newly-advanced witch?
Five hundred thousand magic crystals were probably half of the Moya Clan’s annual earnings in the Zhentarim area!
Greem’s low, cold voice was once again transmitted to everyone’s ears, even as Endor’s brain still tried to process the difference between three thousand and five hundred thousand.
“I still reject your offer!”
“Why?” Witch Nina’s eyes were bloodshot. She marched forward and stared into Greem’s eyes with almost no distance between the two of them. The tips of their noses almost touched.
“Why?” Even Endor mumbled by the side. Truthfully, she also wanted to know why at this point.
“Because I have fallen in love with Alice!”
Greem’s words were like a bolt of lightning that split the sky apart. The entire place fell dead silent!
