The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection

Chapter 846

After Felix hung up the phone, the bitterness on his face grew. Since he had merged with the sixth Dragonspine and had shown his power in Astoria, even Selmer from Elders' Council took the initiative to surrender. That incident had boosted Felix's confidence. However, the unexpected mission at Seapoint and the appearance of the cloaked man brought him back to reality. He still felt helpless.

All of a sudden, Wayne from Obsidian Auction called. "Mr. Williams, there's news on the furnace you're looking for."

Oh? Finally, Felix felt like he regained his luck. Although he already had the furnace given by Gage, comparing the two wouldn't hurt.

Besides, according to the medical book given by Gerald, refining the pills and elixir might cause the furnace to explode. So, it was better for Felix to make sure he had a spare.

"When shall we meet?"

'Now! The consignor is extremely cautious and unwilling to head to Obsidian Auction to trade. He has prepared a place for you to meet."

The meeting wasn't taking place at the inn? This was a little unexpected.

"I have to remind you," Wayne continued. "Since it isn't at Obsidian Auction, we're not responsible for guaranteeing your safety. However, if the transaction is successful, we'll still give you some tips." "Alright. I understand," Felix replied.

Any consignor who was afraid of danger would definitely choose Obsidian Auction. However, even so, their safety couldn't be 100% guaranteed. Now, there were people who did the opposite.

"Damn it! I can't beat soul masters, but I don't believe that there are many martial artists who can easily beat me."

How could Felix not think this was a trap? But for the sake of the alchemy furnace, he had to go. The events at Seapoint and the encounter with the cloaked man had shaken him a little. But those happenings wouldn't make him think he was weak. The place designated by the other party was över six miles away from where Obsidian Auction was held. When Felix looked at the map, it was in the mountains-a forest. It was simply the best spot to kill and rob him.

After arriving, Felix was a little confused. Was the consignor so sure that he wasn't coming?

All of a sudden, there was applause from behind him.

Chapter 846

An old man walked out from behind a big tree. "You are so brave, Mr. Williams. I've set up a meeting at such a place, yet you still dare to come and trade."

The old man carried a basket on his back and was dressed like a woodcutter. He had a bow and a quiver full of arrows. He seemed completely out of place.

"The meeting place doesn't matter. The most important thing is the transaction. Can I check the furnace first?"

Felix thought that a fight would break out, but the old man brought out an alchemy furnace from his basket and placed it on the ground.

"This is the furnace I brought. Please test it."

Felix was on guard as he walked around the furnace several times. The quality and appearance looked good. However, he couldn't know if it was better than Gage's.

"I believe you should know that all alchemy furnaces are magical. It will only recognize its owner by dripping blood on it. Once the transaction is completed, I'll wait for you to claim it."

Felix looked at this strange old man and hesitated. He asked, "What do you want for it? Money? Or an item?"

The old man smiled. "I don't need anything but the money. How about... ten million dollars?"

Ten million dollars?

Felix thought he had heard him wrong. An alchemy furnace should've been sold for at least a billion dollars. How was he given such a low price?

Felix tried sensing his surroundings again, but he couldn't feel anyone else besides Selmer, who was hiding in the trees.

So, this old man wanted to complete an honest trade in such a place? Why did something feel

off?
