The Survivor and the System
Chapter 76: Solving the Problem!
By the time Edward woke up from his sleep, the sky was already very bright. Warm sunlight enters through a gap in the window, leaving light spots on the ground.
Waking up, Edward's sleepy gaze blurred as he sat on the bed and stared blankly for a long time before finally getting rid of his desire to continue sleeping. Shaking his head, he lazily got up from the bed and randomly washed his face.
Just as his washing was completed, a faint knock shook from the door. This was coupled with the soft and gentle voice of a young lady"Sister Edward, are you not awake yet?."
Hearing this voice, Edward's brows twitched. He quickly wiped away the moisture on his face and walked to the door. The door creaked as he slowly pulled it open.
After opening the door, a blinding light was suddenly shot into the room, causing Edward to get used to closing his eyes. A moment later, he slowly opened his eyes and turned his gaze to the green lady who was standing quietly in the doorway.
Today, Violet once again wore green. His matching clothes matched his lotus-like appearance, prompting the young man in the room to let out a compliment in his heart.
After randomly scanning Violet's delicate and slender body, her gaze finally landed on the somewhat pale and beautiful little face. His eyebrows couldn't help but form wrinkles."What's going on?."
With big, charming eyes focused on Edward's expression and found nothing but accusation. Violet immediately replied with a smile."I'm not feeling well. That's not a big deal."
"Not feeling well?."Edward's brows twitched as he walked out of the room. After closing the door, his palm suddenly grabbed Violet's small hand. A weak and warm spirit under the control of his spiritual perception, was slowly circulating in Violet's body.
A moment later, Edward expressionlessly took his Spirit and sighed in his heart. It seemed like the secret technique Violet used last night was exhausting. In his body right now, only a hint of weak Spirit flowed. Clearly, this was after using a secret technique.
In the morning, there were many clan members who had woken up to train. The group was filled with envy when they saw Edward holding Viopet's hand while standing in the doorway.
"Sister Edward, what are you doing?."Violet's red face whispered lightly as she struggled to free her hand.
"I don't know what you've done. How can you be so weak?."Lowering Violet's small hand, Edward sharpened his face and softly said.
After those big intelligent eyes scanned Edward's face and once again found nothing, Violet quietly breathed a sigh of relief and smiled."Yesterday I had tried to train a Battle technique that surpassed my level and this was the result. I'll be fine after a few days of rest. Brother Edward need not worry."
Turning his eyes, Edward could only helplessly shake his head while accompanying Violet to breakfast. After which, he found an excuse and quietly left the clan.
……
Edward walked aimlessly in Javes City and casually asked about the news about the Murphy clan. Losing Rick would definitely cause some sensation within the Murphy clan. Contrary to his expectations, however, he could not find any abnormalities within the Murphy clan. The market continues to operate and healing drugs continue to be sold. There's nothing different.
"Heh. No wonder Theo Murphy is the clan leader. He could really suppress this news. However, he might be able to suppress this for a day but he was unable to do so forever. After the remaining healing medicine is sold out, I want to see what he can do."Edward let out a cold laugh for a while before heading to the Primary Trading House in the center of the city.
In a remote area outside the Dagang house, Edward wore a black robe like he always did and entered the busy auction house.
After entering the auction house, Edward was politely taken to the VIP room by a beautiful female servant. He waited for a moment before Yolanda's graceful-looking face appeared with a smile in front of Edward.
"Haha, important guest. Edward's sister, what brings you to the Trade House?."Lifting the teapot, he personally bent his body and poured a cup of tea for Edward as he spoke.
Whether it was intentional or not, the attractive snow skin on Yolanda's chest appeared and disappeared as she bent her body to pour tea. It caused one's eyes to fixate on it.
Yolanda's gaze never left a small jade bottle on their appearance. Happiness appeared on his dazzling face.
Yolanda elegantly sat on the chair beside Edward. He carefully picked up one of the jade bottles and weighed them carefully. After that, he slightly opened the bottle. A round green pill with a stutter came out of the bottle.
Taking a deep breath of the medicinal smell that attacked her nostrils, Yolanda's beautiful eyes narrowed. Moments later, Yolanda finally attentively returned the pill to the bottle. He threw a dazzling and beautiful smile at Edward who was beside him."Looks like Edward's brother is ready to take action against the Murphy clan. Otherwise, why did you come to settle our agreement on premise?."
Hearing this, he shrugged, neither denying nor admitting it. He took out another scroll containing the names of some medicinal ingredients. These medicinal ingredients had the ability to restore one's strength. Sure, this was prepared for Violet. Looking at his weak and pale face, Edward felt his heart ache.
Receiving a scroll from Edward, Yolanda, who had a number of such experiences, knew Edward's meaning. Without any unnecessary words, he started calling the maid and told her to quickly prepare what was on the list.
Sitting in the quiet VIP room, Edward, who had been silent, suddenly said."It seems that the Murphy clan has gone to another city in search of a new source for medicinal ingredients."
"Em, the Murphy clan is now working with a drug supplier in Astrol City, however, the price of the medicinal ingredients they bought from there is four times more expensive than in Javes City."Yolanda nodded and agreed with a smile.
"To think that they are willing."Shaking his head, Edward continued with a smile."Can you give me some information about the transportation of these medicines?."
Hearing this, the hand of Yolanda holding the teacup shook. Her pretty eyes looked at the young man beside her in astonishment and said."What are you planning?."
"Hijack!."
After a bitter smile, Yolanda once again sighed."clan Murphy was really lucky to meet a little devil like you."
Shaking his head, Yolanda calmed down. He finally stood up and went to the room behind him. After some time, he finally came out with the scroll and handed it to Edward. He quietly whispered."I have received some information from the Trading House in Astrol City. Two days ago, the Murphy clan once again bought medicinal ingredients worth four hundred thousand gold coins. This batch of medicinal ingredients should reach Javes City by this afternoon."
"Klan Murphy only paid one hundred thousand gold coins as a deposit for this batch of medicinal ingredients. The remaining three hundred thousand gold coins were credits. Protecting the medicinal ingredients were the warriors of the Murphy clan with strength, three Fighter Masters and a Grandmaster. There were also several dozen guards with at least the strength of an Elite Fighter.
"Four hundred thousand? It's a big amount."Edward said with a smile as he stored the scroll into the storage ring. His laughter slowly became colder."If this batch of medicinal ingredients were to disappear, I wonder how they would be responsible to the drug supplier. With the Murphy clan's current condition approaching bankruptcy, this three hundred thousand gold credits would be his last blow."
Raising his head, Edward noticed a female servant who had just entered. After cupping one hand over the other and thanking Yolanda, she went ahead and received the medicinal herbs before walking out of the hall without looking back.
Sitting on a chair and observing the decisive way in which Edward went, Yolanda laughed bitterly and shook her head. He gently sighed."The actions of this little boy did not match his age at all. That old man, Theo Murphy might be in big trouble...."
