Chapter 319 - Invited Them One After Another
Chapter 319: Invited Them One After Another
The internal departments of the five great clans had also started to plan for this matter.
But, on the other side, in the City Lord’s residence.
“City Lord, what do you think about today’s matter?” Shadowless Ghost Hand asked meaningfully.
Lance frowned slightly, his chiseled face was filled with complicated emotions. When the level 10 potion first appeared in the auction, he was already filled with curiosity towards this young girl who sold the potion.
However, at that time, she had insisted that the potion had come from her mother.
Others had believed her, but he had a nagging feeling that something was not right. She was too mysterious. In just one night, her strength had increased explosively. From a once-useless girl to a genius now, how had she done it?
“She has that strength,” Lance said with a complicated tone after some thought.
Moreover, it was probably not just that strength. Audrey was really a mysterious and curious existence.
Thinking of the scene in the study that day, Lance’s lips curled into a faint smile. No matter how mysterious she was, he would understand her bit by bit in the future.
After two or three days, the excitement in the Templar Knights had subsided a lot, and Audrey finally returned to her normal life in the Templar Knights.
However, this was not the end of the storm.
After Audrey and her teammates had just finished map training, she heard a maid say that someone was looking for her outside. She thought that Marcus was here to cause trouble again, but when she walked over, she found that it was someone from the five great clans.
The person who had come was the Elder of the Beryl clan, Mojito.
“Miss Audrey, hello, I’m…” Mojito was about to introduce himself when he was interrupted by Audrey. “I know who you are. What’s the matter?”
Hearing this, Mojito chuckled.
“I’m here to invite Miss Audrey to join our Beryl family.” Mojito pondered for a moment and said with certainty.
“I know that you and your father have already left the Davis family. However, in Spark City, you can only gain a firm foothold by relying on the five great families. Therefore, I sincerely invite you to join us.”
Although Mojito’s words did not mention anything about her alchemy abilities, Audrey was able to hear most of it from his words.
It was probably because she had decent strength and was a rare alchemist in Spark City that she extended an olive branch.
However, Audrey had long been extremely disappointed with the five great families.
The Davis family was filled with conspiracies and conflicts. It was the same for the other families. However, she did not want to get involved in those conflicts for power. She only wanted to be carefree and unrestrained. She wanted to be a powerful person, just like in her previous life.
“I’m sorry, but I can’t agree to your good intentions.” Audrey straightforwardly rejected, not leaving any room for thought.
Mojito’s face stiffened. The Beryl family could be considered one of the top five families, yet Audrey had rejected it so quickly.
“If you and your father are willing to join, you can directly become a branch of the Beryl family and become a noble.” Mojito once again threw out an olive branch.
Audrey still rejected him without any interest.
This was the first time he had bowed his head to a junior and invited her to join as an Elder. However, she rejected him so straightforwardly. Mojito felt a little embarrassed, and his face gradually turned stiff.
“No matter what, I hope Miss Audrey will consider it. The Beryl family welcomes you to join at any time.”
“Thank you.” Audrey snorted and left.
Things did not end there. In the next few days, people from the five great families would invite Audrey to join the five great families and become a family alchemist.
“Audrey, has someone come to ask you to refine a potion again?” Kate asked with concern when Audrey finally came back to the Knights Legion.
Audrey nodded faintly and said helplessly, “They thought that I could refine potions for them with enough money. It’s not like that.”
“I know,” Kate replied. Audrey had never been a person who would bow her head for money.
Audrey chuckled when she saw Kate’s reaction.
The people who had come looking for her these past few days were endless. She was a little tired of dealing with them and had wasted a lot of time. After thinking for a while, Audrey decided to publicize it to the public. She would not refine a potion for anyone.
After being rejected many times, the five great clans finally stopped. Only the Davis clan was still in the middle of planning.
“Grand Elder, is it alright for us to do this?” Ferri asked nervously. The main reason was that he remembered that his son, Kate, had a close relationship with Audrey. So if the Davis clan did this, based on Kate’s personality, he would probably object.
He did not want to see his son fall out with the Davis clan.
“Only in this way will Audrey return to the Davis clan!” The Grand Elder, Pierre, glared at Ferri and snorted coldly.
On the side, Houston followed suit. “Audrey is very popular now. Our Davis clan can only use her strength and alchemy skills.”
“You’re right. Audrey must come back!” Pierre nodded, his eyes revealing a trace of desire.
The Davis family must become the strongest among the five great families. Audrey was the biggest breakthrough. If he had known that she had such skills, he would have kept her in the Davis family.
Seeing the other elders agree with him, Ferri did not say anything, so he joined in the discussion.
Outside the house, Morris was eavesdropping, his eyes growing gloomier and gloomier.
He did not expect the Davis family to be so despicable as to kidnap Calder and threaten Audrey to return to the Davis family.
