Chapter 927: Unsettling Night (3)
In the end, Rhode purchased the metal egg that he wasn’t aware of what purpose it served. Although it was huge, it didn’t pose a problem for him to stuff it into the spatial bag. Even though he was also interested in other items, it was a pity that plane merchants could only sell one item to each customer. This meant that Rhode could only buy this metal egg his entire lifetime.
“Alright, I’m happy to work with you.”
After settling this deal, Stefania revealed a relieved expression. Frankly speaking, the most troublesome customers were those who were picky and unreasonable. If it weren’t for the Roulette of Fate, they would have haggled for a long time before reaching an agreement.
“It’s finally settled.”
On the contrary, Rhode felt troubled because he didn’t know what that thing was exactly. But it seemed like some sort of a vessel. But the problem was… Was this vessel good or bad? Even with his ‘unlucky looting aura’, this item shouldn’t be defective, right?
He finally had the chance to meet a plane merchant and yet, he received a defective item due to his ‘unlucky looting aura’?
Just thinking about it made him embarrassed.
If it were possible, he wanted to demand Stefania to stay by his side for future deals. But it was apparent that Stefania possessed the powers to prevent it from happening. As a plane merchant, she possessed a unique ability called ‘plane teleportation’. Not only could she transmigrate to other planes of existence, but she could also change her form in other dimensions. It was just like previously when she concealed her presence entirely from Rhode and Angelina. But this was also to be expected since it wasn’t possible that a plane merchant would be so easily discovered.
This was all that Rhode could do for now. As for what exactly was inside the metal egg, he could only investigate further after returning to his territory.
Even though Shane ordered the city owner to appease the people, he suspected that the useless old man could hardly stand on his feet after witnessing the violent riots. Hmph. Trash is always trash. It seems like I’ll need to get involved personally. Damn it… Shane swept a glance at the bustling banquet and gnashed his teeth.
Those bastards chose to mess with me today. They’re asking for death!
“… Sir-Sir Shane!”
At this moment, an orderly scampered toward him. He sucked in a breath of cold air upon seeing Shane’s sulky expression and quickly reported the situation.
“The front line is surrounded by the rioters completely. They’re closing in to the manor, Sir. What should we do?”
“What did you say? Those bastards dare to surround my manor?!”
Shane was gobsmacked. He had never imagined that this day would come!
“Send soldiers to defend and seal all the entrances and exits! If anyone dares to enter, kill———”
Boom!
Suddenly, a loud explosion erupted and black rolling smoke, as well as scarlet flares rushed to the night sky. The cheery merchants came to an abrupt halt with their actions. They whispered to one another’s ears while turning to face the flares in the distance. The melodious music echoing in the hall had completely stopped and many of them headed out to gaze at the city enveloped by the deep, dark sky.
However, they quickly realized that it wasn’t dark at all.
Because the entire manor was surrounded by hot, blazing flames.
Shane’s expression darkened instantly because he knew that…
He was in big trouble.
