"Large amounts of spiritually rich materials needed, price negotiable."
"Need xxxx..."
"Selling Sequence 9 Spectator Potion formula for 220 pounds, Sequence 8 Telepathist Potion formula for 450 pounds, Sequence 7 Psychiatrist Potion formula for 900 pounds, available for individual purchase or as a bundle, price negotiable if deemed unsuitable."
"Selling Sequence 8 Trickmaster Potion formula for 450 pounds."
'Someone is selling potion formulas from Sequence 9 to Sequence 7 all at once, who could it be? Could it be someone from the Psychological Alchemists?'
Hearing the waiter's announcement, Klein's spirits almost instinctively lifted, but before he could dwell on it, he heard Lynn whispering beside him, "It's my turn, it's my turn. I wonder if the buyer from last time is still around, hopefully we can sell smoothly."
This made Klein pause for a moment, almost falling off his chair. He then looked at Lynn strangely, unable to resist lowering his voice, "You're selling?"
"Yeah!" Lynn nodded without hesitation. He had no intention of hiding it.
"You... also have Spectator Potion formulas?" Remembering Lynn's behavior before, Klein suddenly felt that he had underestimated this detective involved with various factions. Lynn might have more potion formulas than he had imagined.
"Of course, didn't I tell you before?" Lynn looked at Klein with a puzzled expression, although he wore a mask, his eyes conveyed it without a doubt.
"No, you didn't tell me before. You also have Spectator Potion formulas." Klein shook his head.
"Huh?" Lynn made a puzzled sound, then suddenly seemed to realize, "I forgor."
Klein:... Forgetting is fine, but this reason is too far-fetched!
Klein couldn't help but sarcastically comment in his mind, but precisely because of this far-fetched reason, he found himself somewhat believing it.
After all, if Lynn really wanted to hide his Spectator Potion formulas from Sequence 9 to Sequence 7, he could easily not sell them at the extraordinary gathering, and there was no need to use such a ridiculous reason to deceive him.
So while marveling that Lynn might be unusually generous in some respects, Klein was more concerned about something else.
He lowered his voice and asked, "What you just said means someone asked to buy Spectator Potion formulas at the gathering before?"
"Yes, and it was a one-time purchase of Sequence 8 and Sequence 9 potion formulas. I guess that person should be someone who isn't short of money. Unfortunately, I didn't have the corresponding formulas last time I came..." intentionally pointing out Miss Justice, Lynn said with a hint of regret.
Klein's expression under the mask became slightly strange.
In fact, Klein did associate Lynn's words with Miss Justice, after all, as far as he knew, there was only one rich lady from the Spectator Pathway.
'But it shouldn't be that coincidental, and Miss Justice didn't need Sequence 8 and Sequence 9 potion formulas. It was unlikely she would buy another set just to cover up the fact that the formulas came from the Tarot Club...' Klein thought, feeling a bit suspicious of his own speculation.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Fors was almost excited.
She couldn't help but grab Xio's clothes and whispered, "Look, someone is selling Trickmaster Potion formulas."
It's not surprising that Fors was so excited. Unlike other Beyonders, Fors had been troubled by the murmurs of the full moon like members of the Abraham Family because she had used sealed artifact from the Abraham Family. Although Fors herself didn't understand the Abraham Family's affairs, because of this, she had a strong desire to advance.
After all, Fors had prayed to divine beings for help, but unfortunately, she hadn't been rescued. Now she could only hope that her advancement could help her escape the murmur of the full moon.
Unfortunately, there were very few apprentice pathway Beyonders, and Fors had never encountered anyone selling Trickmaster Potion formulas before today. This made Fors, who finally caught an opportunity, very excited.
'Moreover, the markup wasn't too high. If it's 450 pounds, combined with the manuscript fee I just received, I can completely buy it directly, although it'll be a bit tight for the next period of time...' Fors calculated her small treasury and couldn't help but clench her fist.
"Congratulations..." Xio sincerely congratulated with a hint of envy in her tone. She also yearned for advancement, but unfortunately, although she had encountered someone selling formulas, she had never managed to save enough money to buy them.
However, Xio wasn't too disheartened. After all, she believed that she would soon save enough money to buy the formulas.
Then, Xio thought of something else and whispered, "Not only is there the Trickmaster Potion formula, but there are also Spectator Pathway potion formulas. It's a pity... Miss isn't here, otherwise she would definitely buy all three formulas directly." Because they were still at the extraordinary gathering, Xio cautiously didn't mention Audrey's name.
"Indeed..." Fors naturally understood Xio's words At this moment, she also thought of Audrey's "domineering" demeanor when spending money and couldn't help but nod in agreement, then whispered again, "Maybe when I buy the Trickmaster Potion formula later, we can talk to that person and ask them to participate in the next gathering. Then tell... Miss about this matter. Next time, if... Miss can participate in the gathering, she can directly buy the formulas. If she doesn't have time, she can entrust us to buy them. With... Miss's generosity, maybe we can even get some additional rewards."
As they spoke, the two paupers exchanged glances, both understanding each other's meaning.
Although success wasn't guaranteed, if they could convince the other party, it would be a good thing for them no matter what.
Even if they couldn't get additional rewards from Miss, they could improve their impression in Miss's eyes.
A few minutes later, in the small room where the transaction was taking place, five cloaked figures with masks sat facing each other in two groups.
'Why are there three people? I came with Xio to persuade the other party, but why are there three of them?'
'Could it be that these things are jointly owned by the three of them?'
Fors pondered, hiding her expression perfectly under her cloak.
On the other side, Klein and Leonard, who followed Lynn because they weren't particularly confident about Mr. A's gathering and were worried that Lynn might leave protection and have an accident, also had the same doubts as Fors.
'Why are there two people on the other side? Do you need two people to buy potion formulas?'
Looking at this scene, Lynn couldn't help but almost laugh out loud.
'Haha, what kind of Tarot Club team-building event is this!'
