While Albert was waiting for the auction to start, in another direction of the venue, Adams and Yaheng also found seats and sat down.Adams looked in Albert's direction with a smile and said softly, "What does he want the rare materials with wood and earth elemental attributes for?"Yaheng shook his head. He looked at Kelly who was sitting with Albert, his expression a bit gloomy.However, Adams didn't care about this. When Albert first arrived in Newhurst City, he had planned to cause trouble for him, but was stopped by Rebecca of the Brian family. Since they happened to meet here today, he had to have some "fun".The Baker family had a deep grudge against the Martin family. As long as he could make Albert uncomfortable, he would be very happy.Although he couldn't cause any real harm to Albert here, annoying him would still make him feel good.So, in Adams' somewhat expectant mood, after half an hour of waiting, suddenly the sound of bells and drums rang out in the venue.The auctio

This clean - shaven man was not noticeable at all. But Albert remembered that this person seemed to have been sitting not far from them before, and had been following them from the very beginning...Obviously, those bodyguards who were looking for the naughty boy earlier were just putting on an act. This real bodyguard had been following all the time. He didn't show up before perhaps just to let the naughty boy have fun.Maybe even the scene where he used the Water Shadow Technique on the naughty boy was seen by this person.Thinking of this, Albert couldn't help but cough dryly, feeling a bit uncomfortable.Adams took two steps back, his face changing uncertainly. He didn't say anything more. Yaheng beside him also felt the other party's toughness and secretly thought something was wrong.At this moment, people from the Clark Chamber of Commerce came running in a hurry from behind and said, "Excuse me, esteemed guests. President Alice said that these materials will be free of charge.

“There is only one person in the entire city of Newhurst who fits what you described.”“That is the little emperor of the royal court.”Albert was truly a bit astonished this time: “That brat is the little emperor?”Regarding the royal court that rules the Kingdom of Newhurst, as the young master of the Martin family, Albert didn't feel awe, but he certainly had deep fear of it. So when he heard that the brat he had tricked once was actually the little emperor, his heart couldn't help but feel a bit nervous.“A few years ago, the old emperor passed away, and the new emperor ascended the throne. But due to his young age, the affairs of the state were ultimately managed by the regent prince, along with the eldest princess...”“The eldest princess is named Lucia. She is also a student of the Four - Star Courtyard of Newhurst High - level Academy and is one of the strongest students there.” Emily said.“How does she compare to you?” Albert asked curiously.“The Newhurst High - level Acade

Albert stretched out his palm and picked up the emerald - green light ball that was shimmering with mysterious light from the jade box. The green light reflected in his pupils, causing a slight change in his expression.Just as he had worried before, he wasn't sure what price he would have to pay to refine this second acquired soul.The first time, he directly reduced his lifespan to only five years left. So what about this time? What if his lifespan is completely exhausted? Wouldn't he be doomed?Although this possibility was relatively low, he still had to be mentally prepared.Albert stared at the "Wood - Earth Element Soul" in his hand and remained silent for quite a while. Eventually, his eyes gradually calmed down because these hesitations weren't really necessary. Since he accepted the first acquired soul, he had prepared for everything.He had many things to do, and all of them required sufficient strength.He wanted to protect the foundation of the Martin family left by his p

Joseph watched them play around with a beaming smile. Then he collected the bowls and chopsticks that Albert had used after eating, and leisurely turned around and left.Albert looked at his departing back and said, "Our Uncle Joseph really knows a lot."As soon as his foundation was lacking, Joseph came up with a method to replenish the spirit. The coincidence was really beyond words.Emily slightly nodded her pretty head and said, "He should be a hidden pawn left by Master and Mistress in the Martin family. But he almost never interferes in the affairs of the Martin family."Albert nodded. He had previously thought that his father and mother might not know the price of refining the second acquired soul. But now it seemed that might not be the case..."Don't pay too much attention to Uncle Joseph's matter. Because even I don't know whether he is really powerful or just a cook with excellent cooking skills and broad knowledge," Emily said."Rather than this kind of thing, it's better
