Chapter 1266 Payback time

"Are you sure, bro? There won't be any other problems?" Rey was still nervous. Even though Liam's plan seemed to be pretty straightforward, who knew what these hundreds of bloodthirsty eyes glaring at them were thinking at the moment, what vicious plans were they concocting

"Don't worry. I have also planned a surprise in case someone is thinking of doing something funny." Liam nodded. He did not waste time. After finis.h.i.+ng up with the mineral boulder counter, he immediately walked over to the gemstone counter and essentially repeated the same thing.

The parade of eye-catching legendary beasts sniffed out some decent haul as the group aroused ma.s.s discontent, anger, and envy among the crowd. He even brought out his sword again which helped him make some more lucky guesses.

The black dragon sword's last seal was not broken yet. And the thing that was needed to break this seal was nothing but gemstones, a lot of them. So on this counter, the sword turned out to be much more helpful than the legendary beasts.

The prideful dragons only responded to the top-quality merchandise that they wanted to devour and Liam without any delay bundled up everything and immediately purchased them, using almost all of the funds he and Dante had.

By the time he was done their combined reserves ran dry but he did not care about that. He had gained a lot on this trip. The same couldn't be said for Dante who was shedding tears of blood. If his bank account being emptied was the first blow to his groin, then watching this tyrant grab one windfall after another was the second blow that twisted his b.a.l.l.s.

The only ent.i.ty that was more angered than Dante was coincidentally the black dragon sword. The truth was Liam never planned to feed the required gemstones to the sword. He long since had the required amount of gemstones to unlock the last seal as the quality did not matter to a certain extent for this. However, he will never survive the clash against the numerous black dragon souls in his current condition.

The opening of the last seal would have to wait until he gained his soul strength back. Liam tossed the sword back into the hilt after the use.

With a nod to the store manager fairy, Liam turned to leave. As the final selection was made at the gemstone counter, he turned his attention to the last counter, the artifact counter.

The store manager who was close to losing it, gritted his teeth and jogged on over.

In the beginning, he had been very cordial to Liam but now he couldn't wait for the d.a.m.ned guy to get out of his shop. Unfortunately for him, Liam did not look like he was going to stop any time soon.

Liam did not take out the black dragon sword now as he knew that the sword wouldn't cooperate. He could only rely on his legendary beasts once again to make some choices though they were also not that reliable in this department.

In the end, he did not buy anything from the first few displays. Liam reluctantly decided to leave this one empty-handed when the last tray full of artifacts was displayed for him, and his eyes suddenly lit up. A soul! He actually sensed a soul from one of the items in front of him!

Liam's gaze hurriedly scanned the items, to quickly land on something that looked like a broken bell.

The bell was small and una.s.suming, its surface marred with cracks and battle scars, but to Liam, it was the most intriguing object on the tray. He observed it carefully and without a mistake it had a lick of soul still desperately clinging onto it.

"I will buy this." He immediately made the purchase. This time, however, there was no inspection facility or public reveal option available. So he had to figure out the rest on his own.

Liam did not mind. In fact, he preferred to a.n.a.lyze this particular one on his own. If he could somehow capture this lick of soul sticking to the artifact, the knowledge that he could recover could potentially outweigh anything he had gained up until now.

The soul was definitely something dilapidated, at least centuries old. He could feel how it was so close to getting destroyed and was worn and torn by the wheels of time. He carefully placed the item in the spatial artifact.

He let out a sigh as with this, the second part of his plan was fully completed. He no longer paid any attention to the gambling counters. The store manager also sighed in relief but he stopped in his tracks when he saw Liam walking towards the fighting pits.

The fighting pits, known for their brutal and high-stakes battles, were a popular attraction for those seeking both entertainment and a chance to prove their strength.

Liam approached the registration desk, his legendary beasts trailing behind him, drawing stares and whispers from the crowd. The staff at the desk looked up, their expressions changing from surprise to shock as they eyed one legendary beast after another.

"Grandmaster, you are going to fight with these tamed pets?" The fairy gulped and nervously asked.

But Liam firmly shook his head. "No. They are just babies."

"Ah." The fairy realized that in her shock she overlooked something so obvious and quickly apologized. However, the next second, a small cute fox popped up in front of her.

"I will be registering this one." The fairy became completely speechless. She silently finished the process, wondering what the person was up to taking one of the baby beasts to battle in the pits.

On the other hand, the rest of the crowd on the floor was in an uproar. What they were eagerly waiting for had finally happened! Liam was finally registering in the fighting pits!

It would have been even better if he had registered personally but his tamed beast had to do for now. Many beings were captured by the looks of the cute adorable fox. Unfortunately, the son had to pay for the father's sins.
