Chapter 131 — You Are Too Generous! Pt2
Following a faint splash, the shower of brown liquid ricocheted harmlessly against the pavement. Having taken a quick, instinctive sidestep, Henri exhaled a silent breath of relief as his clothes escaped the awful, ruined state that would have awaited them had they been caught in the middle of that steaming deluge.Flicking away imaginary dust from the ironed fabric of his suit jacket, Henri's grey eyes cast a fleeting sweep over the person he had just collided with.Recognizing the exceptionally expensive ensemble the female stranger was clad in, Henri cautiously decided that it was best to simply pretend nothing had happened.Intending to blend immediately back into the bustling crowd around them, Henri took three steps forward—only to feel a sudden, sharp gust of breeze brush past his face. With his gaze snapping back into focus, he found a familiar face suddenly blocking his path."Who are you?"Ignoring the unexpected question, Henri attempted to pivot and walk right around the

Coughing lightly to ease the tensed atmosphere, Veronica finally stopped beating around the bush. "Like I am sure you've heard, our establishment plans on hosting the Golden Chime Auction in Delta City." "Normally, such an event is usually hosted in top metropolitan areas. But due to certain events, the Delta City's branch was chosen to host the event this time." "I see.." while nodding in outward understanding, Henri inwardly contemplated Veronica's words. ' The Golden Chime Auction being hosted in Delta City, must have something to do with the upcoming Haunt Gate appearance.' Having been informed of the Haunt Gate appearance by Dr . Caspian, Henri felt that had to be the most logical explanation. "Are you people planning on debuting the Mana fruits in the upcoming Golden Chime Auction?" Henri raised a brow. Naturally, Veronica nodded in agreement. "Yes." Henri briefly fell silent. "Have you people decided on an effective marketing strategy?" "What do you mean?" Henri shrugg

"However.." intently watching Veronica remain tight-lipped despite his outburst, Henri immediately realized that the other party wasn't going to give him an inch no matter how hard he tried pressuring her. ' It seems the people from Jingle Wood Auction House are determined to learn the secret behind the mana fruit.' "While I unable to provide the proof you want, I can provide a... kind of collateral." "Collateral?" Veronica repeated, finally breaking her silence. Henri nodded. "Your earlier statement struck me. It seems the major reason why you refuse to trust my claim is fear that being careless might end up incurring losses in regards to the mana fruit marketing.""And maybe you are right. Maybe after listening to me and marketing the fruit as an exclusive product, a competitor discovers its secret and releases it to the open market." While speaking, Henri reached towards the pocket concealed in the inner region of his suit jacket. "What if I am able to offer something capable

"I am interested in purchasing this fruit." while making this demand, Mei cast a sharp look at Veronica's direction. Catching the hidden meaning behind her stare, Veronica immediately sprang to her feet like her skirt were suddenly on fire. Taking brisk steps forward, Mei pulled back the chair. With her elbow rested against the table, she held up the Ethersence Fruit before repeating her earlier intentions. "How much does this Fruit cost?" Silently observing the reserved attitude exhibited by Veronica as she respectfully stood besides the sassy young woman, Henri arched his brows. "It is not for sale." "Not for sale?" the corner of Mei's lips twisted into a provocative smirk. "You don't think I can afford it?" Henri shook his head. "The fruit isn't for sale because it was given to her as a gift." Henri's gaze shifted towards Veronica's direction. "A gift!" taken aback by the unexpected response, Mei's temples furrowed with puzzled confusion. "Why would you gift her something t

"Young Master." arriving before Henri, the icy cold expression on Tesla's face instantly got replaced by a sweet smile. "I brought the truck here, just like you asked." "G--Good job." a small smile tugged across the corner of Henri's lips. Despite the drastic change in skin aesthetics, he was amused to discover Tesla's core personality remained the same. "I'll go over to check it out." Henri walked towards the pickup truck. Arriving before the rear that was completely empty, he inhaled sharply. ' Here goes nothing.' With a wave of his hand, he retrieved his entire stock of mana fruits from the system in-built inventory. Fortunately, there were empty crates lining the back of the truck so it wasn't difficult to carefully arrange and distribute the mana fruits. In less than a minute, what greeted Henri's eyes was the sight of over a thousand mana fruits meticulously arranged in over fifty crates. Nodding in the satisfaction, Henri beckoned towards Mei and Veronica who were stan

— [ SYSTEM INVENTORY]... - Skill Gems: 5,000... Henri fell into deep thoughts as his eyes skimmed past the number of Skill Gems he had in stock. He had spent the previous night killing resources from the Novice's Armory Banner. Unable to withstand the exhaustion, he was forced to stop after spending over five thousand Skill Gems. "I'll spend the rest once I am done later." Henri clicked his tongue as he made this mental decision. He felt the number of loots he managed to pull from both the Orchard of Beginnings banner and the Novice's Armory Banner were more than enough to guarantee the success of his upcoming endeavor—Defeating the two Fiend Lords that were residing inside the Haunted Estate he recently purchased. Exiting the System Inventory window, Henri proceeded to open his second System Interface. The blue glowing screens were soon replaced by their alternative golden glowing screens. "Prime, give me a breakdown of the items recently added to the Deva Inventory." Henr

—[Player has received DMG +1T.. +1T. +1T] x5 Shifting his eyes away from the hand that was half buried deep inside his stomach, Henri's bloodshot eyes scanned the appearance of his assailant. With only a few feet separating them, the upper body of the Fiend Lord was covered in tawny fur that faded to cream on the underbelly. With both arms ending in clawed hands with five digits, five of its ten black nails were currently buried deep in Henri's stomach, faintly clutching his intestines. Strapped to its chest and arms were a piece of loose half-chest plate and braces forged from mysterious material that were a polished silver in color. Resting atop its furred lean but muscular neck was an elegonated lupine-hare skull covered in short tawny fur. It's eyes were a sharp forward-facing amber with vertical slit pupils. Nested besides it's dark nose were long whiskers trailing from the muzzle. Sticking out from the crown of the Fiend Lord's skull was a bone-white rack of antler branc

—[ Deva Personnel -03 has secured +1 Victory!]—[ Player has received +500 Deva Points!] "Hm?" Henri was forced to snap out of his daze following the emergence of these unexpected system notifications. His jaws dropped as he watched his Deva Points balance increase from a pitiful thirty all the way to a whooping five hundred and thirty. "Killing the Fiend Lord was worth this many Deva Points?" his brows soon knitted in confusion as he did the maths in his heard. "Prime, how could Tesla have easily defeated an opponent worth five hundred Deva Points when she's only worth fifty?"—[ ~ While it might have appeared to be a simple victory, there were several factors at play.]—[ ~ The finishing blow Deva Personnel -03 used was the third Variant of the Cosmic Drum Technique. Bearing similarities with your indexed Fierce Elephant Drum breathing stance, the technique deals a wave of kinetic damage that bypasses the physical durability of the recieving party.]—[ ~ As such, the Fiend Lord'

—[ ~ Purchase of the Vault Pack gives you 200 BlackAnt Tickets and 100 HoneyBee Tickets.]—[ ~ Purchasing the Locker Pack gives you twenty bottles of Divine Nectar, Fifty Cosmos Fruits, Five BlackAnt Tickets and Two HoneyBee Tickets.]—[ ~ Purchasing the Stack Pack gives you five bottles of Divine Nectar, Twenty Cosmos Fruits and Two BlackAnt Tickets]—[ ~ Cosmos Fruits are the lifeblood of your Devas. Going a total of ten days without consuming the required amount leads to slow regressions in their internal energy before an eventual and permanent existential erasure.]—[ ~ Divine Nectar is equally as important, playing a key role in future evolution of Devas. To evolve Deva Personnel -02 and Deva Personnel -03 to the Squire Rank respectively, you need two hundred Deva Points and twenty bottles of Divine Nectar.]—[ ~ In addition to aiding in the evolution of Devas at the Ranger Rank and Squire Rank, Divine Nectar is also a key ingredient in the refinement of Genesis Nectar.]—[ ~ Wit
Chapter 140 — Deva Personnel -04 Pt2
Gulp! Uncorking one of the ten thumb-sized bottles of Divine Nectar, Tesla greedily gulped down on the entire azure colored liquid inside it. Bang! A resplendent burst of light erupted from every single pore, carrying a palpable pressure that caused the ground Tesla was standing on to sink several inches deeper. Brows suddenly knitted with intense concentration, Tesla eyelids slammed shut while she adopted a lotus sitting position. "What's that?" The changes in her body didn't escape Henri's notice. For some strange reason, he felt a tinge of dejavu, hearing the loud bangs erupting from her body. It took him roughly a dozen seconds before a flicker of realization flashed across his eyes. "That is.. Prime, why does it look like Tesla is about to achieve metamorphosis?"—[ ~ Because she technically is.] Having not been expecting such a response, Henri's mind briefly went blank. "W--What?!" "H--How can she achieve metamorphosis? are you trying to tell me she's going to transcen
