Day 124: Little Fire returned, covered in injuries, its flames dimmed by more than half.

You narrowed your eyes at Little Fire's appearance.

It seemed the Assassin Alliance and Hocheson were preparing for a head-on confrontation.

Day 125: You personally took an image gemstone to the Corett family.

The Corett family's patriarch, Arielle, personally received you.

You noticed a hint of deep sorrow on his face, though he tried to conceal it.

You slowly spoke, 'Arielle, brother, you seem to be in trouble.'

Hearing your words, Arielle paused for a moment, then gave a wry smile.

'As the head of a large family, I'm constantly plagued by worries; I'm used to it.'

You nodded.

You walked together towards the conference hall.

Neither of you spoke again.

Seemingly prompted by your words, Arielle's face showed undisguised sorrow.

You, on the other hand, were lost in thought.

Soon, you arrived at the conference hall.

Other Corett family executives were already present.

Judging by their appearance, they had been in the middle of a meeting.

Your arrival caused Arielle to halt the meeting and personally greet you.

You glanced around and said, 'I apologize for the sudden visit.'

Arielle shook his head, 'It was just a routine meeting, Brother Kern; no need to be formal.'

Afterward, Arielle arranged for you to sit in the guest of honor seat.

Many of the surrounding Corett family executives nodded to you, and you returned the greetings one by one.

The executives around you had fallen silent, but those slightly further away were still whispering among themselves.

The content of their discussions mostly revolved around the Assassin Alliance.

Your eyes narrowed slightly.

Indeed, they were troubled by this matter.

You looked at Arielle, 'I came for two reasons: first, I was passing through and wanted to see you.

Second, I brought something with me.'

The eyes of all the Corett executives in the conference hall turned to you.

Arielle looked at you, his eyes flickering; he seemed to have guessed something.

'Everyone here is completely trustworthy, Brother Kern; you can safely take out what you have.'

You nodded and directly took out the image gemstone, pushing it across the table to Arielle.

Upon seeing the image gemstone, the expressions of several executives in the room changed slightly.

Though subtle, you, who were observing the entire room, noticed it.

Arielle's expression also changed; he subtly glanced at the executives whose expressions had shifted, then reached out and pressed down on the image gemstone.

He didn't immediately activate the image gemstone to see the contents.

'Today's meeting is adjourned; everyone, return to your duties.'

With Arielle's words, the Corett family executives didn't dare to say anything.

Even though they were very curious about the contents of the image gemstone, they didn't dare to openly challenge the patriarch in this setting.

As the executives retreated, Arielle raised his hand, revealing the image gemstone.

He didn't look at it right away but instead looked at you, 'Brother Kern, this… is…'

You looked at him and said with a smile, 'Brother, you know I'm a businessman; Kern Potion Shop is my most successful business venture.'

'I always strive to maximize profits, so you're not the first to receive this image.'

Hearing your words, Arielle seemed to confirm something, and his brow furrowed deeply.

'How long has it been?'

You held up one finger, 'One day; though not long, it's enough time for them to react.'

After speaking, you leaned back comfortably in your chair, 'But, judging by your reaction, no one has come to apologize to you yet.'

Arielle clenched his fist.

He immediately activated the image gemstone, and an image appeared.

The image showed a conference room in the background.

It was smaller than the Corett family conference room you were currently in.

The person sitting at the head of the table was Prince Hocheson.

Below him were the Assassin Alliance Master Davaron, several Corett family executives, and some unfamiliar faces, all of whom were undoubtedly people with considerable power in various factions.

After watching the image, Arielle's expression was so gloomy it seemed like water could drip from it.

His eyes were filled with suppressed anger.

'These ungrateful wretches!'

A powerful aura erupted from Arielle's body.

The entire magic conference table couldn't withstand Arielle's terrifying aura and instantly shattered into powder.

The loud noise alarmed the guards outside the door, and they quickly rushed in.

They were stunned by the scene inside and Arielle's fury, and they surrounded you.

You glanced around and remained calmly seated in your chair.

Arielle's icy gaze swept over the surrounding guards, 'Get out!'

The guards exchanged glances and quickly ran out.

Taking a deep breath, Arielle suppressed the anger in his heart and looked at you.

'Brother Kern, I will remember this favor and send a generous gift to your shop!'

Hearing this, you stood up with a smile, 'I told you, I'm a businessman, so please forgive me for not telling you the news immediately.'

Arielle was taken aback by your words, then smiled wryly, 'So, you knew they were colluding all along.'

You shook your head, 'Knowing… is also another form of not knowing.'

'War is about to break out, and as a profit-driven merchant, I only want to maximize my own gains.'

Your words contained multiple layers of meaning, and Arielle's eyes flickered as he escorted you out of the city.

Day 126: While in Corett City, you received news.

In front of the Corett City gates, the Corett family publicly executed over a dozen executives, including Arielle's own younger brother, the Corett family's deputy head.

Half a day later, you received over a dozen interspatial rings from the Corett family.

You knew this was Arielle's gift of gratitude.

You opened all the interspatial rings.

You were stunned.

These interspatial rings were almost completely full.

None of the items inside were ordinary; each one was a precious treasure.

If converted into universal currency, you estimated the total value to be at least 20 to 30 billion universal coins.

Afterward, Luo Wenluo sent intelligence.

All the treasures the Corett family gave you came from the confiscated assets of the executed executives.

You couldn't help but marvel at Arielle's generosity and admire his decisive actions.

The executed executives controlled nearly half of the Corett family's power, yet Arielle quickly and decisively executed them.

It was clear that Arielle was not someone to be trifled with; he held absolute power within the Corett family!

Having witnessed Arielle's methods, you told Luo Wenluo to proceed with caution and prioritize safety.

At the same time, you knew that Arielle's actions were just an internal purge; the real moves had yet to begin.
