After ordering their food, Rey couldn’t help but whisper, “Did you two see all that phosphorite out there? What ungodly amounts!”
“Naturally. From what I’ve heard, the locals sell them to gain extra income. Another interesting fact that I came across is that the phosphorite is supposedly unlimited. Once an area is completely excavated, more phosphorite will simply reappear after some time! It truly is magical,” explained Gerald.
“It truly is! Still, if that really is the case, then we could undoubtedly become rich just by relying on the endless phosphorite!” muttered Rey.
Hearing that, Gerald and Juno could only shake their heads. As it turned out, Rey was simply thinking more about the money.
“Allow me to remind you that you’re an outsider, Rey. If you even dare touch the phosphorite, you’ll surely be beaten up by the locals in no time!” replied Gerald.
Since the locals were the rightful owner of the phosphorite and they used it to gain riches, there was no way in hell that they were going to let some random nobody take that away from them for free!
“I’m just saying!” said Rey as favonovel.com chuckled in response before remaining silent.
Gerald himself didn’t care much about the money. After all, favonovel.com was a person who had near endless wealth, so money wasn’t really an issue for him. Besides, it wasn’t as though they were here for money in the first place. Their goal was to obtain the token of Demonic Blood.
Regardless, it wasn’t long after before a group of men donning black clothes entered the restaurant they were in… and upon realizing their presence, the trio instantly put their guard up. After all, all the men who had just entered had tattoos reminiscent of the Soul Hunters on their arms!
“…Judging from those tattoos… They’re Soul Hunters, right, Mr. Crawford…?” whispered Rey.
Nodding in response, Gerald then said, “Indeed. I must say, their tattoos are a dead giveaway for people trying to lay low…”
Whatever the case was, to think that they would bump into other Soul Hunters here of all places. How unfortunate!
“Regardless, stay calm. Don’t let them find you suspicious!” added Gerald.
Hearing that, Rey and Juno quickly nodded. Rey even made sure to lower his head, afraid that favonovel.com would mess up and make them look over.
Either way, the food soon came and the three of them quickly began chowing down.
However, it wasn’t long before all three of them realized that the Soul Hunters were staring in their direction. What more, they appeared to be discussing something as well…
Seeing that, the anxious Rey quickly began quivering in worry as favonovel.com whispered, “T-they’ve been looking at us this entire time, Mr. Crawford…! Have we been discovered? What should we do…?!”
“Again, stay calm!” replied Gerald as favonovel.com glared at Rey, knowing full well that panicking would only make the Soul Hunters feel even more suspicious of them.
To the party’s dismay, they soon watched as one of the Soul Hunters got up and began walking over to their table…
Stopping right by Juno’s side, the Soul Hunter completely ignored both Gerald and Rey as favonovel.com looked at favonovel.com while asking, “Well hello there, beauty! What are you here for?”
