Chapter 1159: Chapter 1161 Responsible_1 Chapter 1159: Chapter 1161 Responsible_1 Hearing Song Jian actually demanded a Sword Immortal suit as compensation, Fox’s face took on a drastic change. Such equipment was beyond the authority of a mere steward like him to promise, and even if he could, he didn’t have the resources to exchange for it.

“That, that is the suit of the ten unique professions, a level 120 Legendary equipment. Even if we sold the entire manor, it’s impossible to get that piece of equipment back…” Fox spoke with bitterness in his face.

Song Jian coldly interrupted Fox, saying, “That’s for you to consider, three days, remember, you only have three days…”

Afterward, Song Jian leapt down from the arena and walked towards the exterior of the manor, not giving Fox any chance to speak.

Fox gazed at Song Jian’s departing figure, adjusting his glasses and a glint of dark light burst forth from his eyes.

He had originally thought that two or three epic-grade pieces of equipment would be enough to settle the matter, but he hadn’t expected this favored by the gods man’s appetite to be so great– a level 120 piece of Legendary Quality Equipment, and moreover, the legendary suit of the ten unique professions. Such an existence was almost comparable to a Demi-God Artifact, something that even their master of the Demon Bloodline from Abyssal Hell would covet.

Let alone that he wasn’t yet the steward of Flame Manor, even if he truly became the steward, he lacked both the status and ability to secure such equipment.

Watching Song Jian leave the arena, Fox’s face turned terribly grim. After announcing the temporary closure of the arena, he returned to the meeting hall within Manor Castle. At this moment, all the individuals responsible for Flame Manor were seated at the meeting table waiting for him.

Manager Mar was caught in a complex mix of emotions. On one hand, he didn’t wish to see Fox succeed and wrap things up, while on the other hand, he feared punishment and hoped the matter would calm down. Although he sat on his chair, it was as if he were sitting on pins and needles, causing him great discomfort.

Seeing Fox enter with a gloomy expression, Mar couldn’t help standing up and asking, “Fox, you’ve obtained half of my Demon Bloodline, please don’t tell us you can’t settle this matter!”

Upon hearing Mar’s words, the others began softly muttering among themselves, looking towards Fox. At that moment, Fox’s expression hardly resembled that of someone who had resolved the matter.

Without uttering a word, Fox walked to the steward’s seat, placed his hands on the table, leaned forward, and looked down at the everyone with a commanding gaze. In no time, all murmuring ceased as the people looked at Fox with fear, although his power hadn’t increased in the slightest, his presence grew more dominant.

Seeing that everyone had fallen silent, Fox stared directly at Mar for a long while, making Mar feel somewhat rattled inside. Just as he was about to speak, Fox let out a long sigh, “Ah, Mar, I was thinking I could play down this issue, but that human god-favored one is too greedy. He’s actually demanding the Sword Immortal suit from the Bismarck Auction House as compensation, or else he’ll opt for divine arbitration…”

“His demand has exceeded the limits of my ability, only our master can solve this matter!” Fox shook his head, “I can return to you the half of your Demon Bloodline essence; let’s call this off!”

A level 120 piece of Legendary Quality Sword Immortal suit wasn’t an ordinary item. If it were a legendary piece of equipment of level 70 or 80, Fox might have been able to shoulder it, but the Sword Immortal suit…

“What, he wants that Sword Immortal suit? Pure fantasy, it’s an item worth ten million Purple Crystals, even if we sold the entire Flame Manor, we couldn’t afford it!” someone exclaimed.

“Yes, ten million Purple Crystals can even buy a third-rate sect outright. His demand is simply too excessive, it’s like a lion opening its mouth wide!”

“Ladies and gentlemen, instead of standing here making idle comments, let’s think of a solution quickly. Do we really want to fight him to the death? Keep in mind, once the master finds out about this, none of us seated here will be able to escape!”

“But who can afford an item worth ten million Purple Crystals?”

“How about we all chip in? Having been in East Sea Mirage City for so many years, I refuse to believe we don’t have some savings?”

“This matter is not our responsibility at all. Why should we pay for it?”

“Right, whoever caused the trouble should solve it. If they have the guts, let them go kill that human god-favored one. Otherwise, the one who caused all this should pay the full ten million Purple Crystals!”

This time, Fox didn’t stop the discussion; he simply sat in his chair, quietly watching the performance of the crowd. In the end, almost all fingers were pointing once again at Mar.

At that moment, Fox gave a meaningful glance to a man seated to the left of the conference table. The man immediately stood up, banging the table and shouting at Mar, “Mar, you’ve been the manager for so many years, you must have embezzled quite a bit. You can definitely come up with ten million Purple Crystals, right? If you can’t settle the trouble you caused, you can’t expect us all to go down with you!”

No sooner had his voice faded than another person stood up, pointing at Mar and saying, “Mar, you’ve always skimmed the best souls for yourself during the harvest, then secretly sold them to others. Don’t think we don’t know. If you don’t pay up this time, we’ll let the master know about this. When that happens, flaying you alive will be the least of your worries…”

“Mar, you have to take full responsibility for this. That Sword Immortal armor set has been in the auction house for decades, though priced at ten million Purple Crystals, I estimate it could be bought for eight hundred thousand. That amount of money is nothing to you…”

…

Mar trembled with rage. To settle this matter, he had already sacrificed half of his Abyssal Demon Bloodline, resulting in a dramatic drop in strength. Moreover, with no prospects left after the failure of this incident, everyone naturally started kicking him while he was down!

“Mar, if you don’t want your soul extracted by the master to be tormented in the Abyssal Raging Flame for ten million years, you’d best buy back that piece of equipment from the auction house!” Fox stated indifferently, “If it were just about failing to harvest an excellent soul, the worst you’d face is a whipping punishment. But if, because of you, we also lose our only stronghold in East Sea Mirage City from the Abyssal Hell camp, then there will be no place left in the entire Abyssal Hell where you could stand!”

Although Fox’s words were harsh, they were not without reason. Mar’s complexion turned paler, cold sweat running down his cheeks like raindrops. After a long silence, Mar slumped into his seat, nodding his head in despair and said, “I’ll find a way to buy back that equipment.”
