Chapter 917 - Out to Get Sage Fruit Again (1/2)

Fire Phoenix did not know what Qin Feng was thinking and quickly went on to talk about the profitable projects in the Dark Citadel.

In the end, she hesitated and said, “There’s another place, there is a spatial rift on a lone island, last time the city- the Sword Demon often went there, and even suffered a serious injury from there once. I don’t know what’s in there.”

Qin Feng’s eyes lit up, knowing that this must be the Aether Realm.

Fire Phoenix finished explaining everything and looked at Qin Feng, as if waiting for him to start making arrangements.

“Then, take me around for a look. Oh, also!” As if thinking of something, Qin Feng looked over at Fateless. “Last time, someone useless was in charge of business, now it’s your responsibility. I hope you won’t disappoint me!”

Qin Feng’s words were pointed, obviously, this was a threat.

Large beads of sweat appeared on his already pale face, but he let out a sigh. At least for now he would be safe.

“Master Black Alp, I will do the best in everything you’ve assigned me!”

“I sure hope so,” Qin Feng smirked.

He then turned to Fire Phoenix, in which she immediately understood what he meant. She then took the front, obviously taking Qin Feng to see those properties.

The remaining seven aptitude users did not dare make any sudden noises, bowing down respectfully and lowering their heads, and were too afraid to even look at Qin Feng’s back. Only when he had completely exited the room did these people dare raise their hands to wipe the cold sweat from their foreheads.

There was a pungent smell filling the air. After all, five people died here, but the atmosphere earlier was so tense that they all automatically ignored it.

However, even at this time there was still a lingering fear.

“That was terrifying, just what kind of a person was that?” An aptitude user asked.

“No matter where he’s from, better we don’t provoke him.”

“Good thing we didn’t create any trouble earlier or else we would be dead by now.”

“Fateless, looks like the Black Alp Overlord is optimistic enough about you that he gave you a job to do!”

Fateless did not think this was optimism. He thought that this was a threat. The Black Alp Overlord was too terrifying. Dealing with such a person was like trying to skin a tiger.

Perhaps saying that the regal ones were unpredictable was more appropriate.

“To be honest, the Black Alp Overlord is more terrifying than I imagined!” Fateless reminded the others.

These people realized that Fateless had the wits scared out of him, just like they were. As such, they all just nodded.

Fateless thought for a moment. Since the Black Alp Overlord had given Fire Phoenix full authority to act in Dark Citadel, he would not be given the duties of the other five dead people. The only purpose of him having done this was for checks and balances.

If the other party only trusted Fire Phoenix, Fateless thought that this was only a self-serving, powerful individual with no management skills.

Trying to pull some tricks on a person like that might just work, but now that the Black Alp Overlord had proven to be more unpredictable than imagined, Fateless would not dare try anything and kept his little tricks to himself.

Compared to the people who feared Qin Feng, Fire Phoenix had admiration and appreciation for him.

If it were not for him, it would not just be the things that were messed up today. There might have been people conspiring against Fire Phoenix and she would have ended up dead.

“Master Black Alp, this is the Ancient!”

Qin Feng looked at the unchanged Ancient and exclaimed, “This is indeed valuable.”

At this time, it was almost evening time. The sky was getting a little dark and the Ancient was already emitting a faint glow.

He closed his eyes and started meditating.
