Chapter 224: Chapter224-20 Billion—Are You Trying to Squeeze Me Dry?

"Of course I’m serious!"

The Supreme Staff circled around Caelan several more times before finally explaining at an unhurried pace,

"The reason I chose to enter the Abyss is because I had already planned to do so long ago. I just never had the opportunity."

"Now that Caelan is heading to the Abyss, he can bring me along. And while I’m there, I can also take a look at what exactly the Abyss has become!"

As for the Supreme Staff’s decision, Evelyn, its owner, really had no authority to stop it.

Besides, she knew very well that going to the Abyss was something the Supreme Staff had to do sooner or later. Only by understanding this era well enough would it have any chance of finding the other inheritance items.

Even the Supreme Staff, in truth, looked forward to the day it might finally gain its freedom.

But many things were simply destiny. There was no escaping it, and no changing it.

In the end, Evelyn could only nod and agree for the moment, though she still chose to explain the situation.

"I don’t really have any issue with it, but for the entire legion, this is a major matter. So I hope you can at least give me a little time to report it."

The Supreme Staff froze for a moment, then said impatiently,

"What a bother, such a bother! If I want to go somewhere, I go somewhere. What is there to report??"

"With my strength, are you people really worried I’ll get lost? And even if I did get lost, isn’t Caelan right there with me? If you don’t trust the Chosen One’s strength, then who exactly do you trust??"

It was the first time Evelyn had ever seen Senior Supreme Staff so flustered and annoyed.

Up until now, the Supreme Staff had always felt to her like an unfathomable scholar.

But just now, that scholarly aura had been utterly smashed to pieces.

"All right, then I’ll go report it. Senior Supreme Staff, please don’t leave yet—at least wait until I come back. Please!"

But then she thought it over again and suddenly felt that, given Commander Merlinster’s personality, if she really went to report it, she would most likely be refused anyway. And then she would offend both the Supreme Staff and Caelan at the same time, which was completely unnecessary.

With that in mind, Evelyn took the initiative and said,

"Um... could you let me come with you to the Abyss as well? If I go too, Commander should probably stop objecting."

Before Caelan could even speak, the Supreme Staff voiced its opinion first.

"Wonderful! If you’re willing to come along, that would be perfect!"

"In fact, I think the two of you working together would be very interesting. And once you enter the Abyss, it’ll be good for you to have someone watching your back."

Evelyn nodded, but then raised another issue.

"The problem now is that we don’t have an [Umbra Club Invitation]. Even if we enter the Abyss, we’ll only be able to act separately."

"Senior Supreme Staff is fine—it can just disguise itself as an ordinary staff and sneak in. But I can’t..."

Faced with Evelyn’s concern, Caelan directly took out another invitation from his storage space.

Come to think of it, this was the extra one he had gotten earlier when he killed the Instance Administrator in the labyrinth. He had not expected it to come in handy at exactly the right moment.

"Here. I just happen to have one extra."

Evelyn froze for a moment, then took the [Umbra Club Invitation] and looked at it.

In the next instant, shock and delight appeared in her eyes.

"You’re really willing to give this invitation to me?"

"A rare item like this would sell for at least several hundred billion gold coins on the market!"

Caelan smiled faintly, then raised two fingers.

"Since we know each other, I’ll charge you only 20 billion gold coins. Fair price, right??"

20 billion gold coins??

Evelyn was completely dumbfounded, then immediately put on a pitiful expression.

"But I really don’t have that many gold coins!"

"Are you trying to squeeze me dry??"

Caelan frowned. He had not expected Evelyn to be this poor—not even having a mere 20 billion gold coins. It seemed her status in the Supreme Staff Legion really was not all that high!

Still, what if he ended up unable to sell it at all?

After thinking for a bit, Caelan said with visible reluctance,

"How about this—considering our relationship, I’ll give you a 9.99 discount. That’s basically a shattered-bones bargain. Think it over!"

In truth, under normal circumstances, Caelan’s price was already extremely generous.

After all, the [Umbra Club Invitation] itself was an exceptionally precious item, the kind that had a price but no market.

The problem, however, was that very few people actually needed such an item, which meant the trading volume was extremely low.

Caelan had not failed to try listing the [Umbra Club Invitation] in the exchange before, but over the past few days it had basically been ignored.

Now that he had finally run into someone who needed it, he figured that even if he had to take a bit of a loss, it was still better to cash it out quickly.

On the other side, Evelyn pouted gloomily.

"Your discount has absolutely no sincerity at all. I’m not buying it."

In fact, Evelyn’s decision was very rational.

For her, entering the Abyss did not necessarily require going through the Umbra Club, even if that route would grant a much higher-status identity.

The issue was that she simply did not have that many gold coins!

Forget it. Better to make do with some cheaper option for now.

At that thought, Evelyn was already considering whether she should try buying one from the auction house, or ask some of her old friends if any of them had a suitable one to spare.

As for the Supreme Staff beside her, it bought the [Umbra Club Invitation] almost without hesitation.

"This is a nice item. I can keep it as a souvenir. Little Evelyn, you pay for it."

The moment Evelyn heard that, she froze completely.

Wait... was this a joke??

Senior Supreme Staff, whose Supreme Staff are you supposed to be exactly!??

But by the time Evelyn thought of regretting it, it was already too late.

Because Senior Supreme Staff had... actually used the black-gold card that the commander had given it!

And Caelan moved so quickly that he had already transferred out the balance.

Seriously, weren’t they at least supposed to ask how she felt about this??

At that moment, Evelyn felt a splitting headache coming on. She was even beginning to suspect she had boarded a pirate ship.

"All right, stop standing there in a daze. It’s not like it was your gold coins being spent, so stop worrying so much."

"Take the ticket. We’re going to have a good look around the Abyss and enjoy ourselves!"

Still looking completely lost, Evelyn accepted the invitation. Yet a trace of surprise flickered across her face.

She felt like she understood now—the Supreme Staff probably had its own arrangements.

It might not have told her many things, but it would never deliberately screw her over.
