"Good, then it's a deal, we will start from the Myriad Auctions House branch in this city, I hope you can keep your promise and take care of it," Rex said.
Rex then stood up and stretched him back showing the intention to leave.
"Come to think of we didn't have a good introduction before, I am Sung Lee, also knows as The Death's Envoy," Sung Lee extended his hand for a handshake.
Rex looked at him.
'Heeeeee? I almost forgot about it but what should I name this character,' He thought.
[Choosing name...]
[Naming List:-
1. White Ghost
2. Silent Killer
3. Shadow Frost
4. Death Bringer...]
'Don't go around choosing random names. A titled name defines the name holder too, let me think of something,' (Rex)
"Hahaha... you brat who is still wet behind the ears wants to know my name, fine whatever I am in good mood today. I am Jack, titled name... The Reaper," Rex said without shaking his hand, then started to walk outside with Jiang Shuang.
Sung Lee still didn't call Rex senior or anything because even if Rex's cultivation base is high as he said, he himself was the Sect Master of Black Scorpion Sect. His status was enough to make up for the difference, his actions represent the whole sect so he can't casually bow to others.
"Wait... there was one more thing I wanted to talk about, after defeating the Sect Master of Monster Hunting Sect you should have found an attractive statue of a woman right? can you sell it to me, I will pay you a good price," Sung Lee said when he saw that Rex was about to leave.
"Oh that one, I indeed found that statue. May I ask why do you want that?" Rex said without turning back his head as he would leave without replying if Sung Lee's words didn't sound honest.
Sung Lee also understood that so he was careful with his words.
"Don't worry I won't lie to you because there is no reason for me too, that statue is one of the things found inside the inheritance ruins of the Fairy Ren. It doesn't hold much significance especially for males like us, it's just a trial instrument to test our control over physical desires nothing more.
A certain organization found it with other inheritance material after completely exploring the ruins, but after the explorers left and the workers were still transporting the goods some bandits ambushed them and looted some of the things, this statue is one of them and the organization that explored the ruins is our client so we can't disclose their information to you," Sung Lee explained.
"Fairy Ren?" Rex was confused.
This time Sung Suyin answered before Sung Lee could speak.
"She was a well-known powerhouse in all the four continents a long time ago, at that time she was known not only because of her strength but also for her otherworldly beauty, many people coveted for her but none was able to get her, with time she kept becoming stronger, some rumor even said that she was an evil cultivator who killed countless to breakthrough.
I don't know if it's true or people were just finding an excuse to form an alliance against her to bring her down, the main thing was what happened later, the conflict between her and other powerhouse was increasing day by day but then who knows what happened but all the people from that alliance died at the same day, only their dried corpse was found.
Everyone thought it was done by Fairy Ren but after that time no one ever saw her again, some concluded that she died from the injuries after the battle while some believed that she ascended to a higher world and when people found the place holding her inheritance it resulted in the begining of a blood bath, everyone was crazy about it, after all, who doesn't want to follow in her footsteps and become such powerhouse.
Especially people of big clans and sects, although it's a known fact that males cannot use her inheritance techniques and it have a lot of requirements for females too but as long as even one female meets the requirement and can cultivate as same as her it would be enough," Sung Suyin said.
'Dammit... if I had just born a few thousand years ago then I would have been able to see that beauty with my own two eyes, at least I have a statue of her,' Rex thought.
"I see... if I remember a while ago you said that we don't take contracts like that so now why are you after the statue?" Rex asked in a doubtful tone.
"We didn't make a contract, you can say that it's from a person we can't easily refuse and that statue is a little dangerous, as I said before its a trial instrument but if one's control over their desire is too low then they will die without a doubt and we don't know the complete capability of that statue that's why we didn't take it from the Sect Master of Monster Hunting Sect until now and quietly observed it to see if it's different from what the client described," Sung Lee said.
"I understand but I have no intention to sell that statue, tell your client to take it from me if they have the guts," Rex said while waving his hand then left.
After living in this world for 16 years, the one thing Rex knows is that there is no absolute owner of a treasure here. Stealing and snatching treasure from others is very common and the statue was not a purse he found on the street that should be given to the police station.
He got it after defeating the whole Monster Hunting Sect if he gives them the statue of Fairy Ren which may be the only one of it's kind in the whole realm just for money then how foolish it would be furthermore Rex believed that statue may also have another purpose then a trial because the normal instrument that is set up inside the ruins for trial stops working after they are dug out of the ruins but the statue was perfectly working automatically without any manual trigger.
Sung Lee just shook his head
{So what now master?} Sung Lee asked his teacher after Rex left.
{It can't be helped and he didn't ask us to keep the location of the statue a secret so it's fine, we will just tell the location of the statue to the client it should be enough I think.
Hmmm... on another thought it would also be fine if we tell this matter to the client after few weeks} Sung Suyin said.
Sung Lee nodded, he understood what Sung Suyin meant he didn't want to bring trouble to Rex at least until they are cured and Rex didn't tell request them to hide the whereabouts of the statue so it was fine for them to tell their client about it.
After Rex came out with Jiang Shuang he ignored the people staring at him and took all the beastman to the Myriad Auction House branch of Black Scorpion City to modify it.
By evening they all again headed towards Corentis.
Rex was very happy with his gains this time, he now had a lot of Spirit Cores that he can convert in status points. He was even wondering if he should add the sect plundering task to his monthl... no.. weekly timetable.
'This Fairy Ren's statue... what should I do with it? I would need some living person to test how it works before taking the next step but I don't have any alive enemy right now,' Rex thought.
The next day they all reached Corentis.
Just when Rex was leading them to the transmission array he stopped, he looked towards his right and saw a lot of expensive-looking carriages parked outside a big mansion a little far away.
The big mansion belonged to the City Lord of Corentis, in Corentis the transmission array platform was built near City Lord Mansion so that if some problem occurs or someone attacks Corentis and tries to take over the transmission array then the City Lord could defend it.
When someone attacks a city they will first try to take over their transmission array because as long there is a transmission array in the city even if they cut the other escape route and blocks the main gate, the reinforcement can still come using the transmission array or it can also be used to escape at the last moment.
"Senior these people doesn't seem to have good intentions, their clothes and the emblem on the carriage states that they are from a noble household. A noble household won't even spare a look to Corentis at a time like this, they probably have ulterior motives," Fred said.
He had strong eyesight so for him it felt like that the carriages and the peoples around them were standing just beside him.
"You mean there is a noble here, where is he?" Rex asked with anticipation, He had never seen a noble in his life that's why he reacted like that but for others, his reaction looked like he was expecting to see an animal in the zoo.
"That... I don't think there is a noble here, the carriages nobles use to travel stands out a lot, all these carriages are expensive but they all are mostly similar to each other, they are probably the people working under some noble that came here, a noble would probably see it as a disgrace to come to a place like this in person," Fred said.
'Do people here even understand the meaning behind the word Noble? but when I think about it the current nobles around here are the ones who betrayed their own kingdom or organization and supported the Azure Emperor because of their greed so it's understandable if the Nobles here are the complete antithesis of the word Noble,' Rex thought.
Rex didn't delay anymore and flew towards the mansion, he saw City Lord Adal sitting in the garden with some people so he directly landed near him while the other beast-man followed behind him.
There were three men that were talking to Adal Meyer, all three of them were an old man wearing high-class clothes with gold plating on them, their expression contains a hint of arrogance with them. It looked like they didn't put Adal in their eyes, just the fact that they had a lot of their guards standing behind them while talking to Adal showed how much they respect him.
'Why does it look like the loan shark setting,' (Rex)
When the three of them saw Rex coming to the garden without even asking for permission they narrowed their eyes and gave him a disdainful look they were just about to speak but when they saw that some of the people following Rex had animal-like tails and ears on their body they frowned.
Most of the beastman freed from the Monster Hunting Sect were normal civilians before they were caught so their cultivation base wasn't high enough to hide all their beastman looks. When they saw the familiar look in those people's eyes they nervously looked towards Rex.
"You traitor, you really rebelled, didn't you? no wonder you had so much money to build so many things in Corentis, you already sold the land belonged to Sir Kebel. Your sin cannot be forgiven, guards catch them and seize all their property and if someone resists kill them," One old man hurriedly stood up and ordered him men, instead of anger his lips were curled into a smirk.
'So that's how it is, the movement caused by me and Jiang Shuang by buying a lot of property and building the bank in Corentis caught the attention of other people and they are all here to take a piece of cake but seeing that I have Demi-Humans with me they changed their plan and now want the whole cake with the Demi-Human.
From what Jiang Shuang told me the underworld slave market is also supported by the nobles here so if they get caught by them then..... sigh well, now at least I don't have to worry about live experimental pieces, to think heavens favor me that much they gave me the lab rats before I even thought about the experimental process,' Rex thought as he slowly counted the people following the three old men.
The other two old men also laughed inwardly, they clearly understood his intention. Earlier when they were talking to Adal they were trying to make him spit out all the details on the person who was claiming the territory of Corentis but Adal kept talking in a roundabout way and made Rex sound as mysterious and strong as he could.
Adal sighed deeply when he saw Jiang Shuang and others. He wanted to scare and drive away these people from noble households because he knew their nature deeply, they were here for the money they thought he was using for developing Corentis.
The guards were already very familiar with this process, they quickly surrounded Rex and others.
