Chapter 165: Resolution and Reasons

Seeing Manager Aella turn and leave, Eliza also turned her head to look at Byron standing beside her, covering her mouth with a light chuckle.

"Byron, this is what you call 'not close'? It looks to me like you're clearly very familiar, yet you're still being secretive in front of me."

Byron: "We really aren't close. I've only been to this Beilike Slave Chamber of Commerce once, but since he was so enthusiastically welcoming, it wouldn't be polite to give him the cold shoulder."

"Besides, with his help, my matters are easier to resolve, so I just went with the flow."

Truth be told, Byron wasn't lying to Eliza; even he hadn't figured out why Manager Aella was so enthusiastic when they met this time.

Hearing Byron's words, a look of contemplation flashed in Eliza's eyes. She didn't continue on this topic, but instead changed the subject.

"But I really have to thank you this time, Byron. I had originally planned to just buy any random slave to act as an assistant."

"I didn't expect that, thanks to you, the Chamber of Commerce manager would personally help me select a slave. It seems I'll be able to bring back someone satisfactory after all."

Byron waved his hand: "It's nothing. I only said one sentence; I didn't really help much."

After that, the two chatted for a while longer before Manager Aella hurried over toward where Byron was.

This time, he was followed by two assistants; one held several crystal balls, while the other held a large stack of documents.

Manager Aella smiled apologetically: "Sorry to keep you both waiting; it took some time to organize these things."

Hearing this, Byron and Eliza smiled and waved their hands, indicating it was nothing.

Seeing this, Manager Aella breathed a sigh of relief. He pointed to the items held by the two assistants and introduced them to Byron and Eliza with a smile.

"Byron, these crystal balls contain the Elf Cultivation techniques you need. You can feel free to take a look and choose one that suits your preferences."

"As for the Magic Stones required, we can discuss that properly after you finish selecting. The price will definitely satisfy you."

Byron thanked Manager Aella and didn't hesitate to pick up the crystal balls held by the assistant and began to examine them.

At this moment, Manager Aella also looked at Eliza and introduced with a smile.

"Respected Wizard Young Miss Eliza, these are the slave profiles that meet the requirements you mentioned earlier. You can take a look at them now."

"If there are any slaves you are satisfied with, you can set the profiles aside. After you finish selecting, we can go see the actual individuals."

"If there are no slaves that satisfy you, I will re-screen them again. Rest assured, the Beilike Slave Chamber of Commerce will definitely meet your requirements."

Hearing this, Eliza also thanked him and began to examine the documents.

While Eliza and Byron were examining the items, Manager Aella and the two assistants did not leave; they stood quietly by their side, waiting without the slightest impatience.

Not long after, Byron and Eliza finished reviewing the materials one after another and selected the ones they were satisfied with.

Afterward, Manager Aella first helped Byron complete the transaction for the Elf Cultivation techniques he needed.

After completing the transaction with Byron, Manager Aella led Byron and Eliza to the place where the slaves were held to proceed with the next step of selection.

Before long, Eliza finished selecting her slave, and she and Byron took their leave together.

Manager Aella stood at the door with a beaming smile, waving goodbye to Byron and Eliza.

"Uncle, these are just two Wizard Apprentices. Why are you so respectful? Does our Beilike Slave Chamber of Commerce really need to curry favor with two Wizard Apprentices?"

A young assistant, whose face bore some resemblance to Manager Aella, stood beside him and asked with confusion.

Hearing the assistant's voice, Manager Aella nervously glanced in the direction Byron and the others had left.

Seeing that their figures had already disappeared, he breathed a sigh of relief. He then turned his head, looked at the assistant with a serious expression, lowered his voice, and scolded him sternly.

"How many times have I told you? Don't call me uncle when we're working; call me Manager. Otherwise, if others hear it and misunderstand something, it won't be good!"

The assistant's body trembled from Manager Aella's stern expression, and he said nervously: "Manager, I was momentarily negligent. I'm sorry, I won't forget next time!"

Seeing the assistant like this, the stern look on Manager Aella's face softened.

Recalling the question the assistant had asked earlier, Manager Aella pondered for a moment, then lowered his voice and said.

"My foolish nephew, the Beilike Slave Chamber of Commerce, of course, doesn't need to curry favor with two Wizard Apprentices, but are we the Beilike Slave Chamber of Commerce?"

Without waiting for the assistant to answer his question, Manager Aella continued.

"We cannot represent the Beilike Slave Chamber of Commerce, so we need to curry favor!"

"Besides, do you know who that Wizard Apprentice is? Do you know who his mentor is? How long has he been in the academy? What is his current strength? Do you know any of these things?"

The assistant was stunned by Manager Aella's questions. After frowning and thinking for a moment, he made a bitter face and slowly shook his head.

Seeing this, Manager Aella sighed and explained in a low voice.

"That Wizard Apprentice is named Byron, and his mentor is Wizard Isolde, a famous Genius Potion Master in the Potion Alliance!"

"According to the information I've gathered, Wizard Isolde has three students, but this Wizard Apprentice named Byron is the student she values the most!"

"So now you should know what Byron represents behind the scenes."

Hearing this, the assistant's face showed a look of shock.

But it wasn't over yet. In order to prevent any accidents later and to make his foolish nephew take this seriously, Manager Aella continued to reveal the information he had gathered.

"The reason I value Byron so much, besides part of it being due to his mentor, is also because he himself is a very famous student at the Dark Eclipse Wizard Academy."

"Can you imagine? Byron is only a second-year student. It has only been a little over five years since he entered the Dark Eclipse Wizard Academy to start his studies."

"And in these short five years, he leaped from a Mortal who had never come into contact with wizards to a Third-Rank Wizard Apprentice."

"Presumably, at his speed, it won't be long before he becomes an Official Wizard, an existence we all have to look up to!"

"And I hope I don't need to explain what this represents, my foolish nephew."

At this moment, the assistant's state could no longer be described as shocked; it had completely turned into disbelief. The contempt he originally held for Byron had long since vanished into thin air.

Seeing this, Manager Aella nodded with satisfaction. It seemed his foolish nephew wasn't beyond saving after all.

"So now you should understand why I acted that way toward that Wizard Apprentice named Byron; I need to consider our Family."

"While I am still the manager of the Beilike Slave Chamber of Commerce and still have some power in my hands, and am still of some use to Byron, I must, of course, do my best to befriend this exceptionally talented Wizard Apprentice."

"As long as I can befriend him, even if I only gain a little bit of his favor, it would be an immeasurable fortune for me, for you, or for the entire Family."

"I don't want to say anything else. You just need to remember: in the future, when you meet Byron, you must treat him with the utmost respect and report to me as quickly as possible. That will be enough."

Hearing this, the assistant nodded hurriedly and agreed.
