Chapter 231 — Svartalfheim Forge Pt2
A few minutes of silence enveloped the office after Henri took his leave. Sudden, the sound of approaching footsteps echoed sharply while a figure emerged from a strategically positioned secret door.Shockingly, Mei arrived besides Eloise while a smile spread across her lips. "Did you really not study theatre art?" She continued, "For a moment, I almost fell for your act." Eloise gaze suddenly softened while her eyes swept towards the pile of contract documents—precisely the one Henri had imprinted his blood on. "Release!" she exclaimed. At the same time, her dainty fingers weaved through a series of somatic gestures. Reacting to the movement of her fingers, the surface of the document erupted into a brilliant burst of light. When the radiance eventually receeded, Mei's eyes anxiously swept towards the document sheet. At a single glance, there didn't appear to be any noticeable changes. However, her eyes immediately lit up once she saw the signature located at the bottom of the d
Chapter 230 — Svartalfheim Forge
Henri's swept his eyes towards the quill pen that was positioned beside the written contract. He grabbed it and stabbed the pointed tip into his outstretched left thumb. Weng! The surface of the quill briefly lit up with a faint radiance. At the same time, the skin on Henri's thumb split like soft butter, causing droplet of blood to ooze out. "Tch.." Henri clicked his tongue while he let the held his bleeding finger over the contract document. Normally with the level his physique attribute was at, even the sharpest blade forged from steel would shatter upon direct impact with his flesh. However it would appear the quill pen was a matrix device whose matrix chart seemed to cr able to override his sturdy durability. Weng! As soon as the bleeding stopped, Tristan watched as his spilled blood arranged themselves into scribbled characters styled as a signature Henri King. The Blood Contract was complete! As long as Henri did not default on the specified contract clauses, all wou
Chapter 229 — Supreme Envy Maximizer Pt2
"The Monarch of Envy.." as Henri softly muttered this, his already sullen expression grew a shade worse. Although the System tasked him with unlocking the Monarch of Envy, it conveniently failed to drop crucial breadcrumbs. Say, like what he was supposed to do in order to unlock the so-called Monarch of Envy.—[ Daily Quest Unlocked; Flex On Target—LEAVE YOUR MARK IN THE WORLD] "Another Quest?" Henri had to admit, this was the first time he had unlocked so many system quests under a tight window.—[ Daily Quest; Flex on Target ]—[ Daily Flex Target: 0/1 ]—[ Daily Quest Completion: 0% ]—[ Quest Penalty: None ]—[ Quest Reward: 10 Spite Coins ] Just as Henri was beginning to wonder what "flexing" meant, he received yet another system notification—but this time, it was a tidbit pop-up.—[ System Tidbit 01: Having unlocked the Supreme Envy Maximizer, the Player can earn Impression Points by shattering the egos of targets either by action or with words.]—[ System Tidbit 02: Player
Chapter 228 — Supreme Envy Maximizer Pt1
Following Henri's honest outburst, a brief silence enveloped the private lounge. It was eventually broken by a low chuckle from Mei. "What do you think I am? a savage?" As her laughter slowly died down, a sharp glint flashed across Mei's eyes. "Even if I wanted to assassinate my sister, I'd send at least a dozen capable assassins." "But no.." she shook her head. "The war between my sister isn't one that can be won through the use of our fist." Mei glanced towards the silver screen. "If we keep this up, you won't be able to get your hands on that hybrid class relic core even if you end up eventually accepting my proposal." Henri bit his lower lip. Although he didn't want to admit it himself, he knew that Mei's statement wasn't wrong. However— "I think I'll take my chances." This wasn't blind stubbornness. While Henri felt he and Mei were likely to become friends in the future, he understood that he couldn't blindly trust someone like her. A calculating utilitarian. Mei click

Henri inhaled sharply. "Considering how you seemed to have planned for this moment, I doubt you'd be satisfied with me just owing you a favor." Mei nodded cheerfully. "That's correct. So what is your answer?" "In exchange for using that card, do you agree to work for me?" Without so much as a flicker of hesitation, Henri shook his head. "I think I'll pass." "Oh?" the smile on Mei's expression instantly froze. Of all the response she anticipated hearing, this definitely wasn't one of them. It took her quite some time before she fully digested Henri's response. And when she did, her eyes flared with incredulous puzzlement. "Perhaps, you need some more time to—" Henri cut in. "Whether you give me a month or a year, my response will still remain unchanged." His gaze swept towards Mrs. Veronica's direction. "Considering how close the both of you are, I am certain you are aware that I once worked for the Colorado Eagles gang." Mei didn't gaslight Henri's suspicion. She nodded. "Are
Chapter 226
"F--Four Thousand?" Henri's mind momentarily went blank. Four Thousand Dinar-M Credits! That was roughly four Hundred million dollars! 'S--So expensive!' although Henri knew relic cores were the most valuable loots obtained from Haunt Gates, he still couldn't help but feel baffled. As if his mind hadn't been subjected to enough shock, Mei continued. "Although I said four thousand, nothing is set in stone."Henri's gloomy expression sank a depth further. "You. Are you saying there is a possibility it might sell for higher than four thousand?" Watching Mei nod her head in agreement, Henri fell silent. The more deeply he thought about it, the more he felt her statement made logical sense. Since the relic core was being sold as the crown jewel of a major auction event, it would be truly considered bizzare if it didn't sell for a much more inflated price relative to the standard market price. "The Bidding for the Hybrid Class Relic Core has started." Whether it was Henri or Chir
