The Mighty Mage novel Chapter 44

Chapter 44: Chapter 44: Need More Money!

But seeing Brother Xiang’s lackey struggling under a basic spell, Gu Jin felt her assumption was wrong.

Was it that middle-aged man or that young man? _{freeweɓnovel.cѳm}

"It was the seller of Zero."

’What a great twist.’ Gu Jin thought.

"Why? Why did he ask you to attack me?"

"To take away Zero." Brother Xiang said with pain in his voice.

Gu Jin raised an eyebrow,

"And why is that?"

"The seller of this mystic seed placed the mystic seed in the auction house with 3 conditions. The first two were satisfied by you but the third one was beneficial to the seller.

The third condition was... that with each passing day, if the auction house failed to sell Zero, they would have to pay the seller a magic stone."

Gu Jin’s eyes narrowed as she processed Brother Xiang’s words. The situation was becoming clearer to her now.

The seller of Zero had set up a cunning trap, using the allure of the mystic seed to manipulate the auction house into a precarious position.

"Why did the auction house owner, agree in the first place?"

"Because of the seller’s claims to not take any share of price once the mystic seed is sold."

Gu Jin nodded and felt the owner was smart.

However...

"Your boss is smart, but he is unlucky too. Tell me his name and how he looks."

"His name is Pan Zhong. He has black hair, tall height, and an average-looking face." Brother Xiang said.

He didn’t dare to mislead Gu Jin since he had a feeling that she was not someone to be trifled with.

Gu Jin stood up,

"Now, pass me your all valuable items and remember to move to some other city."

"You...." Brother Xiang was about to scold Gu Jin for being greedy when he saw the green ball of energy in her hand and instantly became obedient.

Gu Jin happily looted Brother Xiang and his lackey.

Leaving the alley, Gu Jin changed her attire 3 times and roamed around the city for the next 2 hours before finally returning to her home.

Once home, Gu Jin had her dinner and went to her space to completely refine the Mystic Seed.

She understood that she was attacked by 2 groups, one of them was beaten by her, and the other probably only wanted to scrutinize her powers and they would most likely not continue to attack her.

Hence she didn’t continue investigating.

Gu Jin was indeed right, the person who attacked her using a psychic ball didn’t investigate Gu Jin at all.

For the next 2 days, Gu Jin stayed in her space and refined the Mystic Seed completely.

Gu Jin excitedly opened her eyes.

She could feel her plant element leveling up.

Now she was at tier 2 of Plant Element. If she continued to cultivate her plant element she would be able to reach tier 3 of Plant Element in 2 months.

Or maybe in 3 months, she could even become an Intermediate Mage! Her only regret was that she didn’t have the chance to awaken an element on her own.

Gu Jin came out of her space with the Twin Forst Drake Core and called out Si Kai.
