Chapter 44: Need More Money!

But seeing Brother Xiang's lackey struggling under a basic spell, Gu Jin felt her assumption was wrong.

"It was the seller of Zero."

'What a great twist.' Gu Jin thought.

"Why? Why did he ask you to attack me?"

"To take away Zero." Brother Xiang said with pain in his voice.

Gu Jin raised an eyebrow,

"And why is that?"

"The seller of this mystic seed placed the mystic seed in the auction house with 3 conditions. The first two were satisfied by you but the third one was beneficial to the seller.

The third condition was... that with each passing day, if the auction house failed to sell Zero, they would have to pay the seller a magic stone."

Gu Jin's eyes narrowed as she processed Brother Xiang's words. The situation was becoming clearer to her now.
