The Survivor and the System
Chapter 47: Jordan is Sad!
Looking at the ability of the Primary Trading House to disseminate information, one could not help but acknowledge that it was extremely effective. It had only been a day since Edward handed the Elixir Pill to the House of Commerce, yet almost every influential clan in the city of Javes had heard of the news that caused such a huge disturbance.
The only thing that differed between this auction and the latter was the star of the show. The previous auction showcased a High-tier Earth Combat Technique, a work that would take a sky-high price every day, as it was only a great power that had the qualifications to bid, which was not the case, the ones from the lower ranks can only watch with longing.
But for many, the Elixir Pill is a more realistic goal. In order to help their children become fighting Elites as quickly as possible, many elders from various clans were willing to spend quite a lot of money on lucrative items such as Elixir Pills.
The words of the Elixir Pill had spread out and were enough to send the city of Javes with excitement, even Edward, who was very remote within his clan, caught the wind of news. Seeing the commotion above the seven bottles of impure Elixir Pills that Edward had perfected, despite being shocked, Edward was grateful for being able to confirm the unique appeal that the pills had on this continent.
On the second day, the Collin Clan also received an invitation from the Primary Trading House. Most likely because John Collin had previously bought the Elixir Pill. Some clan elders were interested in the effects of the Elixir Pill, especially those who still had children who had yet to reach the level of a Fighter Elite.
Edward initially planned to sneak out in the afternoon, but before his plan was successful, he was stopped by a messenger from John Collin. Edward had no choice but to follow behind the envoy and walk towards the clan entrance.
At the entrance, Edward finds not only John Collin, but also several old men gathered there, all preoccupied with excitement.
Raising his head to find Edward casually, the smiling John Collin urged Edward to come forward with a movement of his hand.
Edward sighed, seeing his father calling out to him. As he walked forward, his gaze fell on the two figures beside John Collin and his brows furrowed upon seeing.
"Hey, is this a member of your clan? Why do they look so weak!."The confused voice of the universal defender's sword was transmitted to Edward's ear.
Edward glanced at the sword wrapped in black cloth behind him before rolling his eyeballs and not saying anything.
"Slow and lazy, just like women."Angel taunted Edward who was frowning. She has been made to wait all day for ‘sang puti’, because of this she is a little angry.
"Are you really in a hurry to your funeral?."Edward denied by the facts, Angel gritted her teeth in anger, almost cutting her teeth.
"Chi." Within the crowd, the mocking laughter of the young girl sounded like silver bells.
Tilting his head, Edward saw Violet standing in the middle of the crowd. Shrugging his shoulders, he smiled back.:Are you going to the Trading House as well?."
"Living inside the clan territory was really boring. I might as well go look around whenever I can ..."Violet barged through the crowd to stand by Edward's side; her beautiful laughter echoed behind her as she walked.
"What's there for you, except, well ... really just some Elixir Pills? Nothing will be useful to you while you're there."Edward asked with a pleasant smile on his face.
"Hmph, you still dare to talk back? If it wasn't for the Elixir Pill, you wouldn't be above my level?."Jordan replied bitterly, his legs still slightly wobbly as they had just fully recovered. He had just recovered from the fight he had with Edward 2 months ago, but now, when he saw the two mocked people standing so close to each other, he was, her cheeks were red with jealousy. It was as if he had forgotten the lesson Edward had taught him, after all that pain.
"You seem to have forgotten how I crippled you last time, do you want to try again?."Raising his head to look at her, Edward's expression was unclear, no one knew whether he was smiling or not.
Hearing Jordan, the few older clan members who had gathered could not be petrified but looked astonished at his words. Even Harold nearby could not hide the pleasant look of pride from his face. Truly, this grandson of his never ceases to amaze him.
John Collin's brows furrowed slightly annoyed as he looked at Harold. When he was about to wave his hand to signal for everyone to prepare to leave, he stopped when he saw Edward's smiling expression towards Jordan and was momentarily stunned by the words he was about to say die in his mouth.
Facing Jordan, whose face still had that arrogant sneer, Edward yawned after a moment of silence. He then raised his head and spoke in a neutral tone."Well ... this is quite embarrassing. Just a few days ago, I accidentally .. entered the level of a Combat Elite. I'm afraid it looks like you're still two steps behind."
As he said that, the roar of the Fighter Elite exploded within Edward's body and left everyone shocked.
"Ehh.."
Right after hearing Edward's words and aurah coming out from his body, all the surrounding clan members were silent. A look of shock and astonishment appeared on everyone's faces as they watched Edward's expressionless face. Edward said he broke through ... by accident?
Not knowing whether they should laugh or cry, everyone had the same thought. This kid accidentally hit John Collin where he hurt the most, pity, pity Jordan…
Jordan's arrogant cry stiffened as he felt Edward's aura. His mouth began to move slowly, and his throat trembled. With an unwavering look at Edward that lasted for quite some time, Jordan finally retreated with a dejected look. He thought that he could get some face with the expected breakthrough but who would have thought that he was met with a more shocking statement.
A jade-like hand supported the somewhat oppressed Jordan as Angel glared angrily at Edward, as if trying to burn a hole into him. Surprisingly, he didn't say anything to mock her, just thought to himself."How exactly is this little bastard? It was only two months ..... how could he reach the Fighter Elite?."
Despite the feelings of resentment between them, Angel was still thought of by Edward's rapid progress.
"Haha ...Edward, you really have become a Fighter Elite. Now one more Fighter Elite in our clan."The sound of laughter rumbled from John Collin, the previous annoyance fading away as he looked at the shocked face of his clan members. Glancing at Harold, he smiled and said."Let's go, the auction will start soon, there's another delay and we'll lose our chance."
Watching the elders walk out from the main door, John Collin could not petrify but turn around and happily ruffled his son's hair. He praised Edward with a pleased tone."Incredibly, you have made your father proud again. The old rascal, the first elder, continued and continued to tell me about how much talent his grandson had until I almost felt suicidal out of annoyance, he obviously wants our clan to buy a bottle of Elixir Pills for his grandson. Making such a plan, the old man was indeed very annoying."
With his hair disheveled into disarray, Edward forced a smile. He innocently spread his hand while stepping out of the main door as he reluctantly replied."At first, I didn't want to reveal it but he just kept forcing me!."
In the distance from the door, hearing Edward's words, Jordan's mouth twitched as his heart grew heavy with gloom and depression.
