375 The Eve of the Competition
The Yadi family was not very powerful, but the Harrison family was a rising star. Especially in the past 50 years, the Harrison family had directly established a foundation in the world.
However, although the Harrison family was powerful, their resources were not as abundant as those of the old families.
For example, the Paris family would rather get rich resources to nurture their own Beasts or improve their Alchemy skills. They were also unwilling to make friends with the Harrison family, who only had strength and no background.
Similarly, the reason why the Yadi family and the Paris family were connected by marriage was because one family wanted resources, and another family wanted to rely on one’s strength.
Then, the Yadi family and the Paris family naturally formed a network of relationships.
Harrison looked coldly at Ban Paris.
Ban Paris was ranked fifth in the Paris family. Not only was he a scheming person, but he was also quite accomplished in the spatial element.
“No matter what, I didn’t come here to pretend and boast. I wonder who you plan to poach with your money this time?” said Harrison mockingly.
The Paris family mainly focused on Beasts, and they rarely produced Alchemists because their true backgrounds were all Beastmasters. As for Alchemists, they just hired them with money.
As long as the Paris family paid the Alchemists money, they would choose those who were willing to give up for them during every competition.
Some wanted money, while others wanted the other party’s technology. The two parties were just exploiting each other.
It can be said that the Paris family looked down on Alchemy. Among their descendants, none of them studied Alchemy.
In other words, as long as one had money, one could buy an Alchemist. There was no reason for the children to learn Alchemy.
In short, the Paris family were high and mighty Beastmasters. As for the Alchemists, they just had to work for the family.
This was the philosophy of all the members of the Paris family.
It was also because of this that Harrison looked down on both the Yadi Family and the Paris Family.
In Harrison’s opinion, the Paris family was just colluding with the Yadi family. Because the Harrison family knew very well that instead of relying on others to build a network, they were the ones who had to be tough.
This was also the reason why no one dared to provoke the Harrison family, even though they had only been around for a short time.
But when Ban Paris heard Harrison’s mockery, he naturally had to mock him back, “Even if I’m rich, I won’t hire you! We only choose outstanding talents. For people like you who aren’t too outstanding and aren’t talented, your family should produce and sell you off.”
The others heard the conversation between the two and did not dare to persuade them.
After all, standing on the other side meant offending the other side. The others could not afford to offend either of these two families.
The two sides mocked each other until they were tired of each other.
Of course, the governor of Heavencraft City had heard about it. When he came to tell Su Bai some things, he also told Su Bai the gossip.
Su Bai’s mouth twitched a little, and said, “It turns out that this kind of competition can attract investment.”
The governor did not have any reaction at first, but after hearing Su Bai’s words, his expression changed.
The governor said, “You’re right. However, these two families might extend an olive branch because of your excellence. I’m just here to remind you that before you join any family, you should first understand what kind of opponents the other party has.”
The governor did not seem to be here to remind Su Bai.
Of course Su Bai could tell that the governor was testing him and wanted to know which side Su Bai would stand.
If Su Bai was really thinking about joining a family, the governor might let him stay in Heavencraft City.
But Su Bai obviously did not want to think about these things. He said, “I don’t plan to join any family.”
Su Bai was very clear about the Paris Family’s Beast farm. Once he joined the Paris family, he would become a researcher who could not see the sun often. That kind of job was too boring for him.
Su Bai did not plan to waste all his precious youth in the laboratory. Moreover, there was still a part of the Precept Fragments in him that he had not finished comprehending.
The governor understood Su Bai’s intention.
After confirming Su Bai’s real thoughts, the governor told him about the process of the competition, “Roger should have told you a little about it. This competition is global, so it uses surveillance to monitor, invigilate, and live broadcasts. The same materials will be given to you by the organizer. But there’s one more thing. You need to wear a mask and a bracelet during the competition.”
Su Bai was confused. He asked, “Why do I need to wear a mask?”
The governor smiled and said, “Not everyone is willing to show their faces in front of the camera. This competition will be broadcast live. If you want to show your face, you can naturally show your face after the competition.”
Su Bai understood.
Some people did not like to be seen by others, while others were more ostentatious.
The rules of the competition this time, at least in Su Bai’s eyes, were quite reasonable.
“I understand,” said Su Bai.
The governor also explained some common procedures of the competition. After Su Bai memorized all of them, the governor left.
Actually, Su Bai did not care about the competition. He even felt that he did not need to prepare anything for this competition, especially when he knew that he could only use the items prepared by the organizer strictly. He was even clearer in his heart.
However, the governor told Su Bai one thing this time. He still had to wear the bracelet for this competition.
In the previous competition, Su Bai and the others were almost killed because of the bracelet. At that time, he had used an illusion to avoid the disaster.
If there was anything wrong with the bracelet this time, Su Bai planned to use the illusion again. The other party would not be able to tell anyway.
The patriarch of the Yadi family had already walked out of the hospital. He was just pretending to be sick because the governor forced him to give Su Bai resources.
‘How could I possibly give him the resources? My son died in Su Bai’s hands. If I gave Su Bai the resources, wouldn’t it be the same as harming my own son?’ the patriarch of the Yadi family thought.
After leaving the hospital, the patriarch of the Yadi family made a phone call, “Is everything ready?”
The other party smiled and said, “It’s ready. But this is a global incident. If they find out, it’ll be bad. Do you understand what I mean?”
The patriarch of the Yadi family knew very well that the other party wanted to raise the price and even wanted the Supreme Beast-core in his possession.
The patriarch of the Yadi family had never even given the Paris family the Supreme Beast-core. He had originally wanted to give this resource to his son, but in the end, he could only keep it for himself.
“I can give you the Supreme Crystal. Let’s both take a step back. If we continue to bargain, neither of us will get it,” said the patriarch of the Yadi family.
The other party was tactful. It was better to get additional resources than to not get anything.
“Deal.”
After all, the other party was going to stop becoming an Alchemist completely after this. It was the best choice to make a fortune before he left.
