Chapter 604 - Is It a Show? (2/2)
“Valuable?” Roland smiled. “How valuable exactly? Can you give me a hundred kilograms of Meteorite Minerals?”

Meteorite Minerals were one of the best magic materials that could replace many important ingredients and even be used as catalysts for certain alchemical potions. For Roland, it was also a necessary material to build the foundational magic array of the floating city.
He needed at least sixty kilograms of it.
However, there were only fifty kilograms of Meteorite Minerals in Hollevin in total as of this moment.
Their price was extremely high. Roland’s Magic Tower in Delpon spent a long time trying to purchase it, but it only bought one kilogram.
Roland was even of a mind to go mining in the Realm of Devils, because he was told that such minerals were common there.
“Yes!” Grantham stared Roland in the eyes and put on a shrewd smile. “It’s true that the Meteorite Minerals are expensive, but the Guild of Warriors can afford a hundred kilograms of them.”
What a rich organization! I didn’t know that the Guild of Warriors collected so many Meteorite Minerals.
Roland couldn’t have felt more jealous.
He had thought that he was already rich enough with the Magic Tower in Hollevin, but he was just greatly humiliated.
According to the market price, a hundred kilograms of Meteorite Minerals were enough to buy three Delpon Magic Towers.
“Even if you can, it’s not like you will just offer a hundred kilograms of Meteorite Minerals to me, will you?” Roland shook his head.
“You will have the hundred kilograms of Meteorite Minerals the moment Beacher becomes the chairman.”
Roland looked the man in his eyes. “Do you know what a hundred kilograms of Meteorite Minerals mean? Are you so generous? I find it hard to believe your sincerity. Is this a trap against me?”
Roland never believed that anything good would happen for nothing.
Even if it did, one would have to pay a price in order to enjoy it.
Grantham shook his head. “We’re not bold enough to trick and harm a Golden Son. You’re undying. As long as you find the truth, I dare say that you will crazily hunt whoever set you
up.”
“Hehe. That’s true.” Roland looked at the guy’s eyes. “So, how should I work with you?”
Roland really didn’t want to meddle with someone else’s family business, but Martin clearly didn’t look like a good guy. Also, based on Roland’s experience, a petty man like Martin would try to get back at him sooner or later.
He might as well take the man down first before the man came to him.
Roland would never admit that what really tempted him was the hundred kilograms of Meteorite Minerals.
He didn’t want to accept the request, but its reward was too great for him to refuse.
Grantham was very happy that Roland accepted the request.
He believed that no Mages could resist the temptation of abundant Meteorite Minerals.
“In fact, your job is very simple.”
Although Grantham was in his own manor, he looked around to ensure that nobody was eavesdropping.
It was many people’s habitual movement. They would subconsciously look around when they talked about business and didn’t want it to be leaked.
Grantham informed Roland of his plan. After ten minutes later, Roland raised his thumb. “That’s quite a feasible plan.”
Grantham shook his head. “I wouldn’t say that. It’s just that we’ve been waiting for this opportunity for too long.”
Roland stood up. “I’ll see you tonight.” “See you tonight.” Grantham rose too and escorted Roland out of the manor.
When the night came, Roland and Stephanie took her carriage to a big manor in the north suburb.
A line of carriages was parked on one side of the road.
All of those carriages were extravagant in a low-key way.
In the courtyard behind the gate, many gentlemen and ladies were standing on the lawn in several groups.
When Roland and Stephanie stepped out of the carriage, many people were shocked.
It was because Stephanie was known as a self-respecting woman. Although her husband had died, she never took part in such messy parties.
Martin, on the other hand, was a lustful man, so the parties he threw were always erotic.
In particular, there would be a dark period after the party was over, and one could have sex with whoever they laid their hand on. It was quite morally unprincipled. Nobody expected that the First Princess would appear in such a place with a pretty boy.
Some of the party folk with keener eyes noticed that Stephanie looked rather happy.
Had the princess finally thought it through?
Many young, handsome nobles got excited.
Actually, Stephanie was indeed quite happy, because Roland had asked her to put on an act by offering her ten bottles of Dragon Meat Reagent.
Ten bottles of Dragon Meat Reagent! That’s a huge sum of money!
So, she had every reason to feel happy!
