Chapter 931: Living the Life (1/2)

A couple of days later, the envoy from Underworld arrived.

Compared to the Elder that set up the Formation Arrays, this envoy didn't shroud themselves in mystery.

They were a Peak Immortal King with the appearance of a young girl with silver hair.

When she arrived, she saw one person standing in front of a building, clad in imposing, black armor.

She had a good eye and could immediately see how expensive the equipment was, which surprised her.

This probably had to be the boss of this mysterious shop. No sane person would gift their employees such a ridiculously expensive set of equipment.

”Hello, I'm an envoy from Underworld,” she said with a polite smile and polite bow. ”I have been sent here to exchange Immortal Stones for all the ore you currently possess. You must be the boss, Gravis, right?” she asked.

”Sorry to disappoint you, miss, but I'm not Gravis,” Liam said with a polite tone.

Gravis had always only seen the cold, prideful, and arrogant side of Liam, but that was to be expected with the dynamic between the two of them. In truth, Liam was a very approachable and friendly person.

”Oh, sorry,” the girl apologized. ”Will you be the one that will look over the exchange?”

Liam nodded.

BANG!

A huge part of the cave was filled with ore. Stella had handed all the ore over to him. They came to the agreement that Liam would take over the human side for the foreseeable future.

The girl looked over all the different ores with wonder and checked the quantity.

Yes, the quantity checked out.

Whoop!

The girl pocketed all the ore. ”Thank you kindly!”

BANG!

A mountain of Immortal Stones appeared in the cave.

”Please count the Immortal Stones, sir,” the girl said politely.

Liam's Spirit Sense encompassed the Immortal Stones. The girl couldn't see it, but Liam took a deep, shocked breath when he saw so many Immortal Stones.

When had he ever seen so many Immortal Stones in one place?

Even more, he got to keep 10%!?

”The sum is correct,” Liam said with a friendly tone as he pocketed the Immortal Stones. ”Thank you for the trade. Do visit the Gravitas again, miss.”

”No, I have to thank you,” the girl said with a slight bow. ”I almost feel bad for buying all of this ore for only this little bit of Immortal Stones. I feel like I'm stealing from you.”

'Stealing, huh?' Liam thought with complex emotions.

Who was the one stealing from whom?

Gravis had only worked a collective five hours in the last three months for all of this ore.

They were basically the ones stealing from Underworld!

The two of them exchanged another set of pleasantries, and eventually, the girl left happily.

Liam thought that the girl appeared rather innocent and naïve, but he knew that things weren't that simple. She was a member of Underworld, and she also had to have been in Underworld for quite some time. After all, no one would trust a new member with around a billion Immortal Stones.

Such a senior member of Underworld definitely couldn't be a naive, young girl.

Right now, Liam couldn't take his eyes off the 980 million Immortal Stones in his Spirit Space.

This was so much money!

Silence returned to the human side of the Gravitas as Liam simply continued standing there.

Usually, he would have considered just standing there to be a massive waste of time, but he was earning a ridiculous sum of money right now.

This short exchange gave him 98 million Immortal Stones. That was nearly half of what he needed to become an Immortal Emperor.

If this were considered wasting time, literally every human in the world would want to waste their time.

Some hours later, on the beast side, a new beast arrived.
