Based on the market information Hallie gathered during the day, those two demon cores could bring at least 15,000 taels of gold. However, the three buyers here were only offering 7,000 taels, which was less than half of their value.From the moment Isaac walked in, he sensed something was off.It was clear that those three black market buyers had already discussed things in advance. They were all offering low prices to secure those two demon cores.Seeing Hallie was about to take it away, Wunand immediately said, "You should know that the city lord wants Azure Demon Ox's demon core."If the city lord finds out about this, we'll not make money, but we might also lose our lives. The price I'm offering is already high!"Hallie felt deceived and said coldly, "We're not selling anymore. Do you think we're fools? Even if these two add up to 15,000 taels, you'll still make a profit."The three buyers exchanged glances. Then, Laken quickly moved to block the doorway with a friendly smile

When Isaac heard Hallie's shout and turned to look into the darkness ahead, the four rapidly approaching figures were already within 300 feet.Terrifying waves of spiritual energy continuously emanated from those four individuals as they looked at Isaac and Morgan."Who are you guys?" A middle-aged robust man, dressed in a bright red robe, pointed at Isaac and Morgan, interrogating them coldly.At this moment, a slim man to Isaac's left frowned. He swiftly took out a portrait from his sleeve and carefully examined it under the moonlight. In a flash, he appeared in front of Isaac.After carefully comparing the portrait with Isaac, the man asked grimly, "Did you break into the city lord's mansion six days ago?"Upon hearing that, the three men in long robes all frowned."Madesh, what happened?" the burly man asked.Madesh Luthra immediately turned and moved next to the burly man, whispering a few words into his ear.The burly man's expression changed as he immediately pointed at

There was an old man following behind Jad, with the same menacing expression.Hallie was so frightened that he kept backing up against the wall, his face filled with terror."I've been in Southcoln City for over ten years. It's known for having the best security in the entire Kingdom of Vriweth. But I never would have expected you two thieves to dare to break into my room and snatch my people!"Where is she?" Jad shouted coldly, lifting his whip and delivering a fierce lash.A sharp crack echoed through the air, causing Hallie to tremble all over in fright.Isaac looked calmly at Jad and said coldly, "You should be grateful to me. If you had harmed the fox girl that night, Southcoln City would have faced destruction."You'll be the first to die horribly."Jad burst into laughter as he glanced at Isaac. "Am I supposed to thank you?"I spent 300,000 taels to buy that fox girl, but you grabbed her away! Do you expect me to thank you?"He suddenly raised the long whip and fiercely

As soon as Isaac finished speaking, the cell fell into a dead silence. Nestor stared at Isaac with wide eyes.He'd seen some people who spoke arrogantly and rudely in front of the city lord as if they were acting conceited. But their fates would always be miserable, sometimes even affecting their entire families.After Isaac finished speaking, Tahbert was silent for a long time. Finally, he gritted his teeth and said menacingly, "Bring Jad to me.""Lord Holmes?" Nestor exclaimed in confusion."Call him over!" Tahbert growled through gritted teeth.Nestor immediately turned around and walked out. Soon, the drowsy Jad followed Nestor into the cell.Upon seeing his father, Jad immediately dropped to one knee and anxiously greeted, "Father."Tahbert looked at his son before glancing over at Isaac. Suddenly, he smiled as he said, "I've brought my son here. You can do whatever you want as long as it doesn't endanger his life."After speaking, he looked at Nestor and said, "Once they'

Instead of a banknote for 100,000 taels of gold, the actual gold had to be deposited into the accounts and retrieved from the money vault, which took half a day.By sunset, Nestor led a group of men into the city lord's mansion, arriving at the wide courtyard outside the Meadowgrove Garden.Ten large chests filled with gold were neatly arranged on the ground, all with their lids open. Under the setting sun, the gold glistened brightly. Many servants and subordinates passed by, witnessing the scene."Lord Holmes, why do you request so much gold all of a sudden..." Nestor looked utterly confused, keeping his head down as he asked Tahbert, who was sitting in the velvet chair."Haha, come with me. This is meant to reward those who have done great deeds," Tahbert said with a laugh, getting up and heading west.Soon, Isaac and Hallie were called out of the room, where Tahbert was standing outside."Open them!" With a wave, Tahbert had all ten large chests opened, revealing rows of glea
