Chapter 251 -250 This feeling of freedom is… Bang!

In an instant, Alex’s expression changed dramatically, turning into a beaming smile full of enthusiasm as he greeted Richard, “My dear friend, you must not have had dinner yet, how about we order something now? Let me tell you, my food is so tasty…”

“Stop,” Richard said.

“Uh,” Alex immediately shut up and shrank, muttering quietly in defense, “I really didn’t do it on purpose, who knew that guy was so sneaky, I wouldn’t have sold him even a bottle of the potion if I had known…”

“Okay, Alex,” Richard looked at him seriously and spoke out, “I’m not here to hold you responsible for anything, I just want to remind you to be more careful and pay attention in the future. Otherwise, if something really goes wrong, you’re the one who’s going to be unlucky.”

“Uh, is that so?” Alex suddenly showed a touched expression, “My dear friend, so you were considering all this for my sake, I, I, I…”

“No,” Richard said calmly, “I’m considering it for my own sake. If something happens to you, if you die, then I’d have to find someone else to trade with, which would waste my time.”

Alex: “…”

“Anyway, just be more diligent in the future. On one hand, you need to ensure your own safety, don’t actually die. On the other hand, don’t mess it up too badly and disappoint me; otherwise, this deal might be our last, and next time I’ll look for someone else to cooperate with.

On this basis, if you pull some minor tricks, I won’t bother too much. Two Lower-grade Crystal Coins are the fixed price I’ve determined. If you can sell for a higher price, that’s your skill, even if you sell for the exorbitant price of 200 Lower-grade Crystal Coins. But don’t pursue a high price so much that you end up not selling a single bottle of potion.

In short, you can play tricks, but it must be under the assurance that you complete the tasks I assign to you, otherwise our cooperation will have to cease. Do you understand?”

“I understand,” Alex nodded, showing a serious expression, “I will definitely try to correct this and do my best.”

“That’s good, I’m leaving now, goodbye,” Richard said, and turned to leave.

Watching Richard disappear through the door, Alex blinked and murmured, “So, does that mean I don’t have to hand over the extra Crystal Coins if I sell for more, then…”

“Ah, no, I’ll definitely hand over the extra Crystal Coins, certainly!” Alex quickly corrected himself.

Because… Richard had walked back in.

“There’s one more thing,” Richard turned to Alex and said, “You invited me for dinner just now, right?”

“Uh…” Alex didn’t know how to respond.

“Well, pack up this, this, this, and these from your table for me; I’m taking them with me.”

“Ah?”

“Any problem?”

“No problem.”

“That’s fine then, you should also cut down on your dinner a bit,” Richard said, “After all, with your figure already like this, eating less would be better.”

Alex: “…”

Soon, Richard left with a food box full of dishes, leaving only a plate of pale boiled beans on the dining table in the living room.

Alex looked at the beans on the table, feeling they weren’t even enough to stick between his teeth, and complained grievously, “Is this necessary, really necessary? Isn’t it enough that I am handing over the money? Don’t touch my food! This food isn’t just for me—there was a big plan! Now that it’s all taken away, it might be too late to fix it, then…”

As Alex was talking, there came a knock on the door.

“Who is it?”

“It’s me.” A sultry female voice answered, followed by a woman in her forties with a well-preserved allure walking into the room.

With a smile on her face, she tapped Alex’s chest and said, “My Little Alex, I hear you’ve made some money recently and you’re inviting me to dinner?”

“Uh…”

“Let’s see what you’ve got ready for me,” the woman said, glancing over the dining table, and then her expression changed to one of profuse anger, “A plate of beans? Just a plate of beans?! Is this the dinner you’re inviting me to?”

“Uh, that…” Alex stumbled over his words, “Lady Amanda, actually, it wasn’t supposed to be like this, just…”

There are some people in the world who won’t listen to explanations, and that’s women.

“I don’t want to hear it, I don’t! You deceiver!” the woman shrieked angrily, turning to leave, “I can have a better dinner on my own, at least with bread. Think a plate of beans is enough to placate me? Delusional! You even expected to, after dinner, get intimate with me? Dream on!”

“I… Lady Amanda, Lady Amanda! Hear me out, it’s really not what you’re thinking…” Alex called out loudly, but the woman had already vanished outside the door.

Alex, looking dejected: “There goes my happiness…”

Meanwhile, in the laboratory.

Gutas was panting heavily, wriggling on the ground like a lump of flesh, one, two, three times.

His eyes caught a glimpse of something shiny in the corner of the room—a broken Glass Tube.

Gutari hurriedly turned his body around, using his barely functioning hands to grasp the broken glass shards, then began the difficult task of cutting through the ropes that bound his body.

“Slicing sounds…”

One, two, three times…

After what felt like an eternity, Gutas felt his entire body loosen as the rope broke and slid off—a taste of freedom at last.

“Phew!”

Gutas stood up, gasping for large breaths of free air, savoring the rarity of freedom, and then quickly began plotting his next move.

What next?

Escape was necessary, but that brat who dared to knock him out and interrogate him, he needed to exact revenge.

There was a little girl asleep in the room, should he kill her? Yes, kill her!

But… that would be letting the other side off too easily; along with killing the little girl, he should also set this entire courtyard ablaze.

Of course, before igniting, he’d gather and take away the useful potions for himself.

While thinking this, Gutas was about to act, but suddenly turned his head to the side, frowning slightly: Hey, where’s that little girl who was sleeping on the bed? She was just there, how could she suddenly disappear?

The next moment, Gutas saw a fair fist rapidly zooming into his field of vision.

What is this?

As Gutas wondered, he felt a severe pain coursing through his body as his world crashed into darkness, his consciousness swiftly plummeting into the Abyss.

“Thud!”

Gutas’ body landed stiffly on the ground, while Pandora half-closed her eyes and climbed back into bed.

Disrupting her sleep? She deserved a beating!

Pandora thought as she rolled over and went back to sleep.
