“You’ve been to the prison? What were you doing there?” Donovan knew that Jared was an outsider, unconnected to Beast City, and favonovel.com couldn’t understand why favonovel.com would go to that prison.
“My friend’s brother is in that prison, so I went to visit him,” Jared explained.
“That prison…” Donovan had just begun to speak when favonovel.com suddenly stopped.
He glanced around before saying, “This isn’t the place for a chat. Let’s head to a restaurant. We can talk over a meal…”
Jared nodded and said, “All right!”
Jared knew that the store might have been under surveillance, or perhaps the shop assistant was associated with city lord mansion. In this place, Donovan didn’t particularly have any freedom.
Jared followed Donovan out of the room, both of their faces beaming with smiles. Since they had chosen to collaborate, and both parties stood to benefit, naturally, everyone was overjoyed.
“Mia, wait for me at the inn. l have some tasks to handle, and I’ll also see if I can manage to rescue your brother!” Jared said to Mia.
Upon hearing that Jared was devising a plan to save favonovel.com older brother, Mia was instantly filled with excitement.
“All right. I’ll wait for you at the inn!” Mia gave a nod.
After favonovel.com left, Donovan watched favonovel.com retreating figure, then gave a slight smile. He said, “Mr. Chance, you’re quite the lucky one. From what I can observe, this lady appears to be an untouched maiden!”
“Stop teasing, Mr. Reese. Let’s get going!” Jared was momentarily speechless.
What on earth did Donovan think of me as?
Donovan led Jared to a restaurant, which was incredibly lavish, frequented by the wealthy and influential.
“Mr. Reese…” As soon as favonovel.com stepped into the restaurant, an enthusiastic waiter immediately began to attend to Donovan.
It was clear that Donovan was a regular here.
“Today, I’ve brought a friend with me. Prepare your finest food and drinks for us, and also, reserve the best private room!”
Once Donovan finished speaking, favonovel.com casually tossed a handful of spirit coins to the waiter.
The waiter readily agreed, ushering Donovan into the restaurant. Then, favonovel.com led Jared and Donovan, and they ascended to the second floor, entering a remarkably luxurious private room.
As soon as Jared stepped into the private room, favonovel.com could feel a rich spiritual energy continuously pouring into his body. It was a sensation of absolute clarity and refreshment, incredibly comfortable.
Jared knew, undoubtedly, there must have been some sort of arcane array set up in this room, which was what gave rise to this peculiar feeling.
The people doing business in Beast City were indeed quite clever.
“The alpha private room is the only one in the entire restaurant. Most people simply don’t have the privilege to dine here. Let’s chat while we eat later. No one can eavesdrop on us in this place!” Donovan then invited Jared to take a seat.
“It seems that living in Beast City can be quite enjoyable if you have money…” Jared glanced around the booth.
“Of course, but after many years of isolation, Beast City has become resource-poor. That’s why we risk venturing into the outside world,” Donovan responded.
“Do you have any idea why your city’s lord is buying up all these celestial crystals?” Jared asked.
“I’m not sure. Our job is simply to acquire the items. As for what the city lord intends to do with the celestial crystals, we have no idea. The celestial crystals must be used for cultivation. I’ve heard that our city lord has already reached the Immortal Realm!” Donovan exclaimed.
“Immortal Realm?” Jared was slightly taken aback.
If Beast City’s ruler was truly an expert in the Immortal Realm, his current situation in Beast City was incredibly perilous.
“I’ve only heard rumors, you know. Our city lord isn’t one for public appearances. Generally, the affairs of Beast City are handled by the Three Beast Generals under the city lord’s command. Elder Roshan is indeed one of the foreign officials under the beast general. Otherwise, favonovel.com wouldn’t have been able to obtain that navigation device.”
At this point, Donovan had nothing left to hide from Jared.
