Chapter 540 - Barbecue
Angor only had several hundred crystals left after visiting the bookstore. He didn’t believe he had enough money to buy magical thread even if he could find them, so he simply left Moshi’s Street and headed to Champagne Road.
On his way, he thought about making some more money since he would soon need it.
He still owed Sunders 150,000 crystals. The debt was due about half a year ago, yet he never had a chance to get to it since he was forced to travel through Fairy World. Sunders did not mention the debt yet because nobody knew whether Angor could return from the garden challenge alive. But now that Angor came back, it was time to talk about money problems.
Angor once read about how “Nightmare Domain severing” worked. Sunders spent lots of wizard-level materials in order to stabilize Angor’s own piece of Nightmare Domain. Added with Sunders’ fame and great skills, 150,000 was a pretty cheap price.
His Nightmare Domain had helped him escape from danger many times. Angor didn’t intend to forget about his professor’s timely help.
I guess I have more alchemy to do…
He saw the crossroad leading to Champagne Road still had several craters in it, which were caused by the fight between Shan and Saladin. He wondered if Saladin made it out of the purification garden.
Soon, he arrived at Timber Pub. Like last time, the glass windows showed the bustling groups of people inside. It was when he entered the door did he feel something wasn’t quite right inside.
Again, Shan suppressed her urge for questioning Toby’s strange ability as it might be something very private.
Angor found a chance when no one else was talking and explained why he came today, “Have any of you seen Hookdick?”
“Hookdick…” Nausica scowled. “I’m looking for him too. When we left the garden, he saw us and ran into the crowds. I’ve been asking around these days and I get no answer. He’s probably not in the city anymore.”
“So what?” Shan also showed a cruel look. “He has to return to Brute Cavern sooner or later. And I’ll do whatever it takes to gut him, just for what he did to us on that day. Hey Angor, you can leave him to us. I’ve made some connections in Brute Cavern over the last decade, while Hookdick’s only a damned rookie. I have more than one way to get him to beg for his life!”
Shan’s expression twisted in rage, which did not sit well on her young face.
Angor didn’t really believe that these people had what it took to fully kill a soul manipulator, but he chose not to reveal his mind.
