Chapter 218 - Con Man
Actually, Milo did not think much when he’d said those words. He plainly felt that Shaun was too irritating, and did not want to see him promote his business.
However, to Lin Li, those words were rather unsettling. He felt that Milo was too overbearing…
Who are you to prevent me from buying those things?
If it were another occasion, Lin Li’s expression would have changed long ago. Yet, thanks to Andoine’s nagging, even if he was in disapproval of Milo’s attitude, he was more restrained. Lin Li only frowned a little, but did not erase the smile on his face.
“Thanks for the advice, but…”
Although Lin Li did not continue his speech, his intention was clear enough.
Milo’s lungs nearly burst in rage due to Lin Li’s indifference. To him, that young mage was too cocky. How could Lin Li respond to his kind advice with such an unconcerned tone? That reply from Lin Li, “Thanks for the advice”, made him feel as though he was treated as a con man like the fat bandit trying to delude Lin Li.
How would anyone dare to buy a few hundred Tricolored Flowers to ruin a few hundred bottles of potions if he had no wealth?
He would be better off being low-key in such a place where there were so many powerful influences…
“Yes, mentor.” Since it was an instruction from Amman, Milo did not dare to defy it. He gave Lin Li a deadly glare before dissipating his mana gradually. The violent magical waves around them also became calmer now.
The onlookers sighed in relief too.
It was the Pharmacists Guild, after all. It was alright to be the onlookers, but there would be big trouble if the conflict were to cost lives. If it were to anger Balbo, what should they do if the gathering got cancelled? They were still hoping to learn a long lost medical formula from the meeting…
Shaun was another person that felt relief.
The way he got the invitation card was not a honest one to begin with. It’d already cost him a struggle with great fear to attend the gathering. If something were to happen because of him, how could he escape from the Pharmacists Guild?
Luckily, it was not a big matter…
“Why is it so lively here?” Just when everybody relaxed, the voice of an old man came from the crowd.
“Master Andoine.” Amman shot up from his seat to greet Andoine respectfully.
It was not just Amman. Even the other pharmacists turned their heads towards the old man to greet him. Andoine was a man who had surpassed the Legendary Realm a few decades ago. His influence had long gone beyond the boundaries of the occupation. Whether they were mages or not, the people who were here would have heard of the story of that Legendary-mage.
The influence of anyone who had reached the Legendary Realm was just that terrifying. No one would dare to disrespect him or neglect his presence.
