Chapter 48: Chapter 48: Stone of Thunder Acquired

"Kolon Knight, are you joking with me?"

In the room, the attendant’s face suddenly turned cold, and his eyes carried a hint of malice.

"Well, the Stone of Thunder isn’t worth eight thousand gold coins, three thousand, at most three thousand gold coins."

Kolon Emerson spoke, his expression still somewhat guilty.

However, halfway through his words, he seemed to regain some confidence and continued assertively.

But just as he finished speaking...

"Shwoosh!"

An elderly man appeared in the room.

A terrifying aura suddenly erupted.

"Bang!"

Kolon Emerson’s face turned pale, even the Great Knight beside him changed color, instinctively wanting to move, but found himself unable to.

"Kolon Knight, my Habbs Commerce Association is not a place for you to cause trouble. Not even your father, Count Emerson, has the right to make trouble here."

"Since Kolon Knight can’t afford the gold coins, please leave. Your security deposit has been confiscated, and additionally, for disrupting the auction, you need to pay three thousand gold coins as compensation. If you have any objections, you can have Count Emerson come over."

The elderly man spoke calmly.

"No, no objections!"

At this moment, Kolon Emerson could only feel cold sweat continuously seeping out.

Stuttering, he spoke.

"Kolon Knight, next time, Habbs Commerce Association will not welcome you again!"

The elderly man spoke once more, and then his voice vanished.

After the elderly man disappeared, Kolon Emerson collapsed to the ground, large beads of sweat permeating his forehead, and his face was extremely pale.

The Great Knight beside him trembled with both hands.

Moments later.

Kolon Emerson slowly crawled up, glanced angrily at the room where Thor was, then quickly left the auction.

Moments later.

The room where Thor resided.

The door was knocked on.

The attendant brought several knights over.

Seeing the Stone of Thunder, Thor couldn’t help but be a bit taken aback.

"Dear Thor Knight, we apologize for the inconvenience. Would you still like this Stone of Thunder? You only need to pay three thousand gold coins."

The attendant spoke with a smile.

"Of course, I want it!"

"Reine!"

Thor glanced thoughtfully at the distant room, then smiled, gesturing to Reine beside him.

Reine quickly stepped forward and paid three thousand gold coins.

"We sincerely apologize, here is the platinum card from our Habbs Commerce Association. In the future, you can enjoy a twenty percent discount with us."

The attendant nodded with a smile and then handed a brand new platinum card to Thor.

"Thank you."

Thor nodded with a smile.

Soon the attendant departed.

"Kid, did you anticipate this would happen?"

Neil Morton asked curiously.

Thor shook his head with a smile, not explaining anything.

Honestly, this did catch him a bit by surprise.

But he largely guessed the situation.

Eight thousand gold coins isn’t something anyone can come up with; that fool of the Emerson Family likely couldn’t afford it. In such a case, Habbs Commerce Association directly sent it over.

Though the item was retrieved.

This isn’t over.

Trying to take his stuff.

What a joke.

He’s certainly vengeful.

His eyes flickered, a stream of thoughts intertwined.

At this moment, the auction continued.

However, Tor wasn’t much interested in the following items.

Even though the final three items were three bottles of Intermediate Life Potion.

Which fetched prices of two thousand seven hundred, three thousand one hundred, and finally three thousand eight hundred gold coins.

He wasn’t too concerned about it. The Mid-Level Life Potion is indeed extremely potent; one bottle is enough to foster a Great Knight level expert, possibly even helping a Great Knight Peak to break through to Earth Knight. But it has little relevance to him now.

His current knight cultivation is only at the level of Apprentice Knight, even Reine is far from reaching Earth Knight.

As for Steve, although he broke through to the Great Knight level, the gap is still not insignificant.

Frankly, more importantly, he was out of money.

After months of spending, his ten thousand gold coins were running dry.

Especially since this time, he spent three hundred gold coins on buying slaves, three thousand on the Stone of Thunder. Originally left with five thousand, now he’s down to just over a thousand gold coins.

He still needs to buy some supplies to return to the territory.

But there’s not much left of the gold coins.

With this amount, thinking about buying an Intermediate Life Potion is rather wishful.

Not to mention Intermediate Life Potions, he can’t even afford a Low-Level Life Potion.

"Let’s go, it’s time to return!"

Thor spoke, and the figure then got up and left the room.

Reine and Neil Morton followed him.

The three soon left.

As Thor departed, others also hurriedly left the auction hall.

In a luxurious residence.

Kolon Emerson’s face was extremely unsightly.

"Sir, the situation has been understood; the Stone of Thunder was indeed given to Thor Dressrosa by Habbs Commerce Association."

A knight spoke respectfully.

Upon hearing the subordinate’s report, Kolon Emerson’s face became even angrier.

"Great, very good!"

"I need to know where that guy’s territory is."

Kolon Emerson’s cold voice rang; he was extremely furious, as a descendant of the Emerson Family, being deeply favored by his mother family, he never suffered such a loss.

"Yes!"

The figure quickly replied, and soon, a knight left.

Territorial issues aren’t much of a secret.

Kolon swiftly obtained the relevant information.

"The Maine River Valley, not really far!"

"Thor Dressrosa!"

Kolon Emerson muttered to himself, his eyes couldn’t help but carry a glimmer of cold light.

On the other side.

Thor also received information from Reine’s side.

"Luoye Territory, one hundred and thirty miles!"

"Two Great Knights, twenty Official Knights, a hundred Apprentice Knights."

Listening to Reine’s information, Thor’s brows slightly raised.

That fool’s strength is unexpectedly not weak.

Not only are there two Great Knights, but also twenty Official Knights and a hundred Apprentice Knights.

Clearly, that idiot has likely garnered significant favor from the Emerson Family.

And it’s quite considerable favor.

Otherwise, they wouldn’t allocate a Great Knight; it’s important to know that while the Emerson Family is somewhat stronger than the Dressrosa Family, it’s only a bit stronger, not as overwhelmingly powerful as the Assad Family.

They only have three Earth Knights, with just a four to five hundred-year history.

Even one Great Knight is extremely important.

To be able to allocate two, this support is no small matter.

Aside from this power, what concerns Thor the most is the location of the opponent’s territory.

The extent of their territory is only about one hundred miles from his Eagle Ridge, at most two days’ journey.

At this moment, seeing the location of Luoye Territory on the map, his eyes also carried a trace of coldness.
