Chapter 1055: Passionate Hours (1/2)
”Old man, what's wrong with this woman? I recall that she was just a pushover?” The young man inquired with a playful smile on his face.
The old man sighed, ”She has become the vice-manager...”
”What!?”
How can it be!? He had visited the Verdant Alstreim Treasure House before, and he recalled that this woman was just a low-level salesperson!
Now, she, a non-Alstreim, has become a vice-manager!? What kind of absurdity was this!?
”How...?” He incredulously asked.
”It is said that she hosted a grand person while most of us were gathered in the monthly meeting...! This bit- woman successfully sold a treasure to that person, and Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim personally raised her position to be one of far above us!”
”Though we are reluctant, we have no choice but to digest this humiliation!” The old man's eyes seemed to be practically spitting flames. He almost cursed but held himself back.
The young man nodded his head before his eyes lit up. Perhaps, that treasure might catch Alchemist Davis's fancy, no?
He posed his question to the old salesman.
”Apologies, I can't tell that...”
The young man instantly shoved a low-quality spatial ring to the old man, ”Ten High-Level Spirit Stones...”
The old man slyly chuckled.
”It's a Spirit Attribute Source...”
”So it's a Spirit Attribute Source... no wonder...” The young man nodded his head before he inquired again, ”What type is that Spirit Attribute Source?”
”This... I'm not sure, but from what I heard, it was that rotting Peak-Level Sky Grade Poison Essence whose price is sky-high that no one bothered even to take a glance at it...”
”Poison Essence!?” The young man exclaimed before he felt that something important crossed his mind but couldn't grasp it quite well.
'This wouldn't be helpful to Alchemist Davis, would it?'
He pursed his lips and contemplated but quickly threw the towel the next second.
”So, why would Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim go as far as to raise a person who isn't an Alstreim to this position? What is that grand person's identity, capable of warranting a Grand Elder to raise her status personally?”
”At this time, if not the Dragon Queen, who else can it be other than Alchemist Davis?” The old man couldn't help but sigh, but his eyes widened into two saucers as he saw the young man turn around and walk away in a hurry.
”Eh? Young master? Do you not want me to show you around the store?”
”Young master? Young master Gyren!? Why are you leaving without at least having a look around!?”
'Did I do something to offend?'
Looking at the Gyren Alstreim disappear as if he just saw a ghost, the old man became stumped as to what had happened. He didn't know that Gyren Alstreim, who had inadvertently offended Alchemist Davis, wanted to make up to him by presenting a gift.
But now that he ended up with offending the person who seemed to have received Alchemist Davis's favor, he no longer held any notion of wanting to reconcile and even felt that it would be better if he hid!
