Chapter 158 - 158: May I Join You? (2/2)

”Can I join you?”

”Who are you?” They were alert on the spot at the sudden appearance.

This guy was actually Theo! He said nothing in response, but instead, he suddenly grabbed a cup of sake, surprising them.

”Tell me who you are and why you came here?” Kauana said with anger and caution.

”Haha, it doesn't have to be that way, I'm just here to talk to you guys,” said Theo, laughing a little and drank a lot of the sake. He could feel warm sake entering his body.

”Mmm. Good!” Theo nodded with satisfaction as he drank.

They settled down a bit and sat down, but remained alert because they could not feel the Mana from Theo's body. Therefore, they decided not to act hastily. Even more, since they could only perceive his presence when he was in front of him. It made their foreheads sweat because they knew that with this level of concealment and agility, he could kill them quite easily.

Theo lowered the sake cup, sighing and said, ”Don't worry, I don't mean any of you harm.”

Despite hearing him say that, they still didn't let their guards down in front of him. Naiana looked at Theo warily. Despite being surprised by his charming, manly appearance, she asked, ”Who are you, and why do you want to talk to us?”

Theo sat in front of them, placing the sake cup on the table. Bringing his two hands together, he looked thoughtfully at them and said, ”Good. My name is Theo, and I'm the owner of the Orphanage Weapons Shop.” He smiled as he saw them in surprise and continued, ”I'm here today because I want to negotiate with you.”

They started to frown and were surprised to learn that he was from that orphanage. Naiana spoke in the most respectful way possible, even though she didn't know what kind of relationship he would have with the one who just went through the Celestial Tribulation, ”Lord Theo, can we know what business you have with us?”

Kauana also looked into Theo's eyes, searching for an answer.

Theo looked at them with a calm gaze. Unlike before, he didn't need to fear them anymore. Theo might have had some difficulty fighting them before his Tribulation, as they are in the 4th and 5th Layers of the Wizard Kingdom. But now, he doesn't care about that anymore. He could see the disparity between their powers just by looking at them. Although they might have a higher cultivation level, they still lacked in Mana quality.

Theo could imagine that even though they were from Sects with some resources, they still have many impurities in their bodies. No wonder the Mana in their bodies is at this quality and purity.

”Well, it's quite simple, actually.” Theo put his two hands together and looked at them seriously and said, ”I need a lot of Magic Cores to forge weapons for my shop, and I wanted to propose a deal for you to sell me some. I believe it would not be too difficult for you to fulfil such a deal, right? Plus, it would probably be a good deal for you, too.”

”I understand, I know that in this small town it would be hard to obtain a lot of Magic Cores.” Kauana nodded and asked, ”I can get in touch with someone from my Sect in the Naga Empire to send me some. However, how many Magic Cores are we talking about, and what level of cultivation do they need to be?”
