SSS-Rank Devourer: I Consumed My Way to Godhood

Chapter 9

Upon witnessing the report, the sales clerk's expression changed instantly, he hurriedly apologized:

"I apologize for any oversight earlier, sir. I hope you can overlook it!"

"With your status, you can enjoy forty percent discount at our store!"

A forty percent discount meant that the total price was just a hundred and two thousand for two top-tier wind-element beast cores!

With this in mind, Kieran had lost all hesitation and paid straight away.

He legally acquired two top-tier ice-element beast cores!

Thus, Kieran had left with two hundred and fifty thousand gold coins.

He planned to keep a portion for himself, and give the rest all to his mother!

After acquiring the beast cores, Kieran didn't linger. He was ready to leave. However, just as he reached the ground floor, two figures slowly walked into the hall from the entrance.

Especially after seeing Kieran, one of them slightly paused, then his eyebrows furrowed immediately.

"Mr. Ashcroft, what seems to be the matter?"

Noticing the abnormal behavior of the person beside him, another one asked in a somewhat coquettish tone.

"It's nothing, I merely saw someone unexpectedly, that's all."

Damien casually replied, gesticulating slightly with his hand.

Despite his words, his eyes were fixated on Kieran, and the bag he was holding in his hand. As Kieran approached, Damien's memory became increasingly filled with sentiment.

Wasn't this the guy who sought him out before?

Back then, Kieran had come to him, demanding an explanation for the matter of Marcus, and even asked him for compensation.

However, he had been humiliated by Damien at the time.

Afterward, Damien had investigated Kieran's family background and learned that his circumstances were meager.

But now, Kieran had appeared in the department store.

Moreover, he was holding a box specially made for storing monster nuclei.

Although Damien did not know what grade the monster nucleus in Kieran's hand was, he was certain that even the lowest-grade monster nucleus would strain Kieran's poor family.

Not to mention there were four of them!

Hence, he must have secretly recorded their previous conversation and used it to extort a substantial amount of money from his family!

With this thought in mind, Damien immediately had murderous intent.

Although this minor trump card wouldn't cause much impact on the Ashcroft family, after all, Marcus was a soldier of the guard team, if mishandled, it may plunge the Ashcroft family into public opinion turmoil!

In a twinkling of an eye, a murderous aura surged around Damien.

Even the lady accompanying him cast him a surprised glance.

She couldn't see any semblance of a young master in Kieran. Given Damien's status, how could he possibly know such an ordinary person?

"Kieran?"

Amidst the woman's confusion, Damien greeted him enthusiastically.

"Is it really you?"

"I've been looking for you these days, and didn't expect to run into you here!"

"To be honest, after you left that day, I deeply regretted my negligence due to my mood."

"If you do not mind, let's go to my home to discuss about your father's compensation."

Seeing the enthusiasm on Damien's face, Kieran sneered in his heart.

He was extremely aware of what kind of person Damien was. Although he said it was about discussing compensation, his real intention was to silence him!

Thinking this, Kieran calmly said, "Ashcroft, long time no see!"

"In that case, let's go. As you know, my family is in need indeed."

Hearing this, Damien was overjoyed. He didn't expect Kieran to fall into his trap so easily.

"Of course, my car is outside. Would you mind coming with me?"

While saying this, Damien accompanied Kieran towards the door.

On the other hand, the woman was dumbstruck.

"What does that mean? Are you just going to throw yourself to the side and not care anymore?"

"Mr. Ashcroft, I also want to come along!"

"Besides, I've never been to your place before!"

Normally, Damien would have given in to such childlike persuasion, but today was different.

"Nonsense!"

"Since we've already broken up, we have no relations whatsoever from this day on. The compensation I promised you will be delivered to you!"

Looking at Damien's cold face, Kieran gave a faint smile, speaking gently, "Mr. Ashcroft, you should treat women more kindly."

"Since the young lady wants to go, let us go together. It doesn't matter if there is one more person."

Seeing Kieran opening his mouth, Damien slightly pondered and then nodded.

After the three of them got in the car, they headed towards the outskirts of the city.

As time went by, the surrounding scenery became more desolate, not to mention houses, there wasn't even a single passerby to be seen!

After an unknown amount of time, the car slowly came to a stop.

Glancing at the deserted window, Damien maintained his previous enthusiasm, speaking slowly, "The car can only come this far. I'll need Brother Vale's help for the rest on foot."

Upon hearing this, Kieran calmly held four beast cores in his hand and activated the devouring skill in an instant.

In just a moment, four streams of energy coursed rapidly within Kieran's body.

At this moment, Kieran felt his body filled with power, his whole being reaching a new level of magnificence!

"Ding! Congratulations to host for successfully devouring the beast core! "

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for reaching the peak condition of Wind Element Tempering!"

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for reaching the peak condition of Ice Element Tempering!"

As the system notification rang out, the character attribute panel once again appeared before Kieran.

"Host: Kieran."

"Ability: Devouring Transformation."

"Fire Element Stage: Peak Tempering Stage!"

"Wind Element Stage: Peak Tempering Stage!"

"Ice Element Stage: Peak Tempering Stage!"

"Battle Power: 500!"

Looking at the information on the panel, even Kieran himself couldn't help but feel astonished!

It was well known that the battle power of an ordinary one-star Dou Practitioner could only reach around 300 points at most.

Yet his current state was merely at the peak stage, and he had incredibly reached 500 points!

It's simply unimaginable!

Of course, Kieran could roughly guess some of the reasons.

It must have to do with his ice element talent, after all, it is SS-ranked.
