Chapter 244: Chapter 242 Ancient Well Task

Sophia suddenly stopped, that’s true, they do offer enough money. Although it’s dangerous, the price is fair. Sophia considered her family and eventually gave in: she couldn’t offend the big boss, she still needed to rely on them for her livelihood.

What about the Fourth Great Realm, the Fourth Great Realm also has to support their families.

Earning money is not shameful.

"Hmph!" Seeing that she stopped talking, the lord finally snorted coldly, "That’s more like it."

Two veins on Sophia’s forehead twitched: You old pervert harass me all day long, shouldn’t you pay more?!

"Are you out of danger? If not, I can risk my face and ask powerful people for help and save you immediately," the old man said.

Sophia stopped complaining: "I’ve already escaped. Hmph, pretending to care. If I waited for your rescue, I would have died eight times by now."

The Lord continued, "Safety should be your first priority, money can never be earned enough. Now, tell me about your experience this time, in detail."

Sophia couldn’t bluff: "How much will you pay? This can’t be simply treated as selling a piece of information."

Owen Bertram helplessly pursed his lips, this woman was useful, but just too expensive.

"How much do you want?" The Lord said: "We are old friends now, and we know each other’s limits, so don’t ask too much from me."

Sophia hesitated for a moment and demanded: "Ten thousand!"

"Goodbye." Owen Bertram disconnected the Communication Talisman without hesitation.

"Hey..." Sophia was so angry that it made her teeth itch, cutting off my talisman? Fine, no more communication from now on! She clenched the talisman in her Jade Hand, almost crushing it.

Sophia firmly believed that the lord would come looking for her since she had the information. She held her breath for a while, but there was no word from the lord, and she began to panic: could it be that he really doesn’t want to hear it anymore?

If he doesn’t buy it, all the hard work and dangerous intelligence I gathered would be in vain, worthless!

Owen Bertram was also anxious on this side, they were about to arrive at Elmer Mountain, and Sophia still wouldn’t give in. Was he really going to let her take advantage of him?

Why can’t you, as a girl, understand that selling information to me at least gives you some income? If you keep it to yourself, it’s a complete loss.

Another person who was anxious was York Harrison...

In the end, Sophia couldn’t hold back anymore. She activated the Communication Talisman and roared at the old man, "You bastard, Lord!" She then immediately cut off the communication.

Owen Bertram laughed.

The Lord sent a message to Sophia: "Don’t be so moody, I’ll give you eight thousand Spirit Jade, okay? This is my limit, and I definitely wouldn’t give anyone else as much. I’ll have nothing left after giving you these Spirit Jade, I’m using my own money to compensate for you."

Sophia was silent for a moment before asking, "Are you really compensating me?"

The lord was puzzled, as he tried to deceive her with a lie, shouldn’t she continue to bargain with him? Why bother to care whether his words were true or not?

"Of course, it’s true!"

"Hmph." Sophia remained noncommittal, paused for a while, and then recounted her recent experience.

Owen Bertram listened curiously: Sophia had discovered the swarm of Element-devouring Bees in a cave at the foot of Lansing, seventy miles southeast of Bamboo Slope.

This was puzzling: at present, various clues related to the treasure mine were scattered throughout Casterly County, and they were tens of miles apart from each other.

Bamboo Slope, Lion Cave, Summit Cave, and now Lansing – how large should the mineral vein be to cover such an area?

Treasure mines are not ordinary ore, and there has never been such a huge deposit found in history.

Owen Bertram always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn’t figure out where the problem was.

Sophia told her experience and naturally took the opportunity to make some deductions: how hard it had been for her, she had escaped death and endured so much, so he couldn’t deny her the eight thousand Spirit Jade, or else the lord’s conscience would be lost.

After pondering for a while, the lord sent a message to Sophia: "Go to York Harrison’s Uncle’s house in Altanta County and investigate their Ancient Well."

York Harrison told Yale Harrison to send the Earthenware Jar to "Uncle" – Owen Bertram had Nathan Lane secretly investigate, guessing that it was his uncle York Harrison in the neighboring Black-water County.

The Earthenware Jar was too sinister, Owen Bertram suspected that it had something to do with the evil creature!

There must be some secrets hidden in the Ancient Well that could store such an object.

Master Owen had always forgotten about Sophia, both in the Henry Case and now in Casterly County - if he hadn’t suddenly remembered that he needed a "hired hand" to deal with York Harrison, he still wouldn’t have thought that he had such a person under him.

However, after connecting with Sophia, Owen Bertram considered another aspect - feeling that even though she was from the Fourth Great Realm, she might not dare to go against the Horizon Bureau’s Military Officer York Harrison.

Thus, he made a temporary change of plan, assigning Sophia a move to investigate York Harrison while leaving the matter of dealing with him to Divine Heavenly Soldier.

This was even more confidential, as Sophia still had some chance of betrayal, but the Divine Heavenly Soldier never would.

As usual, Sophia bargained, "How much will you pay me?"

"Five Thousand Spirit Jade." Owen Bertram weighed his options before giving a quote, only for Sophia to decline without hesitation: "No, I won’t go."

Owen Bertram was stunned, "Why? There’s money to be made, you..."

Sophia sneered, "You stingy old ghost, you offered a whole five thousand Spirit Jade right away, and the clue you gave is vague and ambiguous - there must be something fishy about this Ancient Well. It’s extremely dangerous, and I don’t want to be tricked by you for the third time!"

Owen Bertram couldn’t help but nod secretly: she did have a bit of smarts!

"Eight thousand Spirit Jade!" the lord said indifferently, "Don’t be so suspicious, I’m just looking out for you. You nearly died, and I’m heartbroken, this mission is specifically to compensate you."

Sophia’s first reaction was "A man’s mouth is a lying ghost", but eight thousand Spirit Jade was very tempting. She was almost drooling.

"Fine."

Owen Bertram slightly smiled, vaguely feeling that there was a dangerous secret hidden in the Ancient Well. His people investigating would be too risky; Sophia, the "mercenary", was just right.

On his side, after he had negotiated the price with Sophia, their party had arrived at Elmer Mountain.

Owen Bertram asked with his hands behind his back, "Where exactly is it?"

York Harrison had already given up, so he casually told a location, and Owen Bertram gestured to Ethereal Devin, who led his men to rush out but soon returned and reported, "Sir, nothing was found."

Owen Bertram looked at York Harrison, who gritted his teeth and said, "The information might not be accurate, but it’s definitely within Elmer Mountain."

Owen Bertram waved his hand, "Spread out and search!"

The military officers under his command immediately set out, leaving only David next to Owen Bertram. The military officers under York Harrison also followed Owen Bertram’s men to search, leaving only the three of them.
