"I understand. You are pissed that I didn't give you compensation. See, they needed compensation. I told you." He said the last part while looking at the elf girl. "I'm sorry, Sir Jokabu. I judged wrongly." She said with a bow. "Let me see what I have here. Judging from your auras, you two are still less than two hundred years old. Especially you, boy. You even look like you are less than a hundred, so I guess both of you might be in need of a sect. Here are two tokens. With these, you can attend my sect's recruitment happening tomorrow." Samuel ignored him. He coughed dryly in embarrassment. "First, let me introduce myself. I'm Jokabu, an elder in the White Tiger Sect. Our sect accepts everyone from different races, so long as you meet the requirements and pass the sect exam." The man was smiling in his heart. Now that the young man had heard about his sect, he would regret his actions and start apologizing. But Samuel's reaction was totally unexpected. "Lead us to Appraiser G

"You have a point. I apologize for not acting professionally. I will appraise it first." He took the pill box and returned to the appraisal artifact.A few minutes later, he came back holding the box as though it were a priceless treasure, his wide eyes fixed on it in disbelief."What's it, Dad? What's wrong with you?" Aaliyah asked worriedly. She had never seen her father react like this before.Gidona noticed their stares and quickly composed himself. He cleared his throat, lowered the pill box, and forced his expression back to normal."Ehnm. Firstly, I owe you an apology, Samuel. You were right. I should have appraised it first before talking my rubbish," he said."What's the result of the appraisal?" Aaliyah asked, still unable to understand what had caused such a drastic reaction from her father.Bradley was curious as well. He wanted to see what other surprise Samuel had in store."It's true. The pill truly has no side effects, and it is actually an Archmagus breakthrough pill.

"Samuel of Merika? The one the priest had been praying to me to punish?" he said absent-mindedly to himself.Suddenly, a hush fell over the hall as everyone realized there was another presence among them. Their eyes widened, fear and reverence flashing across their faces as they immediately bowed."Hail Urgaba! Lord of Darkness! Sovereign of the Abyss! Eternal Master of the Night!"They echoed the words in unison.The huge man stepped forward."I don't have long to live if we keep rambling like this. I know a bit of what happened. Such a shame, 'cause I really put a lot into it." He sighed.His gaze lifted, slowly passing over each of their faces before he stepped back."We have no choice. I have to live. One breakthrough, and I will be able to. One! That's all we need. Do what you must do now, 'cause the next time I come out without a breakthrough, you all will pay."Silence spread throughout the hall.No one dared speak.He watched them closely for a moment before finally speaking a

That was why professional appraisals were needed. They knew how to manipulate the appraising artifacts to obtain the necessary information.Of course, they couldn't be perfect. But something as simple as determining whether it had the three aforementioned disadvantages and confirming whether it truly possessed the claimed effect was easy enough.After appraising it, they indeed confirmed that the pill was exactly as described, without the slightest exaggeration.So the bid started at ten million energy stones.Everyone began bidding aggressively."Your item is really hot. It's crazy that people are actually bidding twenty million." Aaliyah gasped. It was already twice the starting amount.Samuel smiled. He knew it was because of its scarcity. If he produced large quantities of the pills and sold them, the price would drop significantly.The first pill later sold for thirty million, while the second sold for thirty-two million.The auction progressed, but there were only two more items

They landed on the street, their feet touching the ground almost without a sound.Samuel immediately threw a black cloak at Kaizer. Seeing that Kaizer had already been activated, Samuel did not bother storing it in his crystal space.Without wasting another second, they moved smoothly through the darkened street. Their figures blended into the night, and before long, they disappeared from sight.About two minutes later, several figures appeared outside Samuel's house.The entire residence had already been secretly surrounded. They had positioned themselves carefully around the building, sealing off every possible exit. Then, a woman stepped forward and walked up to the entrance.She raised her hand and knocked.The door opened almost immediately.An old man stood behind it, an irritated expression already etched across his face."What's it? My Lord isn't here. He left long ago. So even if you've got someone who's on the verge of death, take him somewhere else and stop disturbing me!"
