Chapter 223: A Conspiracy from the Castellan’s Mansion

Connie had always remembered what Joelson had said.

Thinking of the heavy bag of crystal rune coins in her arms, Connie’s heart raced.

The crystal rune coins in her arms were enough to buy half of Meteor City.

An unbelievable amount of money!

Sometimes, Connie would have the thought of running away with the rune coins, but she quickly extinguished it herself.

Where could she go?

Moreover, she couldn’t even protect a single stone rune. How could she have the ability to protect so many crystal runic coins?

If she left Joelson’s side, she was afraid that she would soon die somewhere.

Connie quickly left the hotel and shuttled through Meteor City.

She was careful enough. Every time she came out of a runic shop, she would change her clothes, afraid that she would be targeted.

However, Connie still forgot that the crystal rune coins she paid for were the biggest flaw.

Connie was holding a large bag of runestones in her hand. The sound of them colliding was crisp.

She had a gratified expression on her face. If the adults saw it, they would definitely be satisfied.

Although she did not know why Joelson collected low-level rune stones, Connie only wanted to obediently complete the task that Joelson had given her.

What Connie could not see was that there were a few pairs of eyes staring at her from behind.

When she went out to buy runestones for the second time, Connie was finally stopped by someone.

When Connie walked into a small alley, she was stopped by four or five men. Each of them had a gloomy expression, and the aura they emitted was comparable to that of stone rune warriors.

Connie was panicking, but she quickly calmed down.

“Who are you people?”

One of the men revealed a mocking smile and said, “Connie, there’s no need to hide. I know you.”

Connie was startled, and her eyes revealed some bitterness.

In the end, she was still discovered by the city Lord’s people.

“You know her?”

“She stole a runestone from the city Lord and fled.”

“That belongs to me!”

Connie glared at them; her eyes full of anger.

“Humph!”

The man snorted and said coldly, “You are so powerful, you killed Hoppes and the others!”

The man looked at Connie’s pocket with the rune stone in her hand and said enviously, “You even got a big shot. It seems that your master is very satisfied with your skills! hahaha!”

The few of them all laughed evilly.

“Bastard!”

Connie was so angry that her whole body started to tremble.

However, their expressions became cold as they slowly approached her.

Connie hurriedly took a few steps back and pretended to be calm as she said, “Aren’t you afraid of angering the Lord behind me by doing this?! Get lost!”

“The Lord of the city wants to be friends with the Lord behind you. We haven’t been able to see him, so we can only invite you over first.”

Their expressions became fierce.

Connie quietly crushed a magic crystal in her hand and said calmly, “Okay, I’ll go with you.”

Their expressions were a little strange, but they quickly walked up and subdued Connie.

“Boss.”

Someone stared at Connie and the runestone in her hand with a burning gaze and swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

Pa!

A slap ruthlessly landed on his face.

“If you want to die, I won’t stop you. Women and things are what the castellan wants!”

The latter immediately became obedient.

Connie heaved a sigh of relief, but her eyes were filled with shame and worry.

If the castellan knew that I ruined his business, he would definitely punish me.

Someone rushed over from the Castellan’s residence, his face full of shock and ecstasy.

“My Lord!”

The person handed over the things in his hands. Eugene took a look, and even her breathing became heavy.

“So many?!”

Two pockets, one filled with runestones, most of which were made of wood and stone. Eugene didn’t care about these.

But the other pocket.

Was full of shining magic crystal coins!

Eugene’s eyes were almost dazzled.

At a glance, there were at least a few hundred of them!

Eugene’s eyes were burning with greed, and he quickly pulled the bag full of magic crystal coins in front of him.

He casually grabbed a handful, and the magic crystal coins collided with a crisp sound, Eugene laughed loudly. “Even a servant has so many crystal rune coins on him. I can imagine how much wealth that guy has in his hands! He’s really a big fat sheep!”

The people around them also smiled with joy.

After Eugene calmed down a little, he leaned forward and whispered, “Sir, the identity of that mysterious man’s servant is a little special.”

“Huh?”

Eugene frowned slightly.

“She’s the daughter of Connecticut.”

Eugene narrowed her eyes and asked coldly, “Is she the bitch who stole one of my runestones?”

“Yes.”

“It seems that Hoppes and the others died at the hands of the person behind Connie. He could easily kill five stone rune warriors. He must be at least at the level of a gold rune. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be so reckless.”

Eugene frowned slightly. After thinking for a while, her face turned cold.

“Go to Spencer and tell him that there’s a big deal. Ask him if he’s interested.”

The person next to him was stunned for a moment and said subconsciously, “Sir, you’re giving Spencer half of such a big fortune?”

Eugene snorted coldly, “I’m afraid that I won’t be able to eat it alone and will choke to death! Besides…”

Eugene’s face revealed a strange expression that looked like he was smiling, but his eyes were terrifyingly cold.

“Who said that Spencer will be able to leave Meteor City alive after getting his half? Hehe.”

When the people beside him saw Eugene’s gaze, they were shocked.

As Eugene’s trusted aide, he understood.

Eugene was planning to eat Spencer as well.

The castellan was truly vicious!

..

Joelson suddenly opened his eyes, his brows furrowed.

He casually threw away a runestone that had already been absorbed and turned into dust.

Beside him, there was already a pile of such powder.

He took out a magic crystal, which was crazily flashing with red light spots.

Joelson first gave Connie a communication magic crystal, telling her to inform him whenever there was an emergency.

Now it seemed that.

Something had happened.

It was within Joelson’s expectations.

Such a large amount of magic crystal coins flowing into meteor city would definitely attract the attention of some people.

That was good.

Joelson stood up, and a powerful aura rose around him. His gaze was calm.

It had been a long time since he had moved.

Joelson had left his own magic imprint on Connie, a small trick of a mage.

The location of the imprint.

Joelson’s gaze was cast in a direction, in the center of Meteor City.

He casually pulled a passer-by and asked indifferently, “What is that place?”

The passer-by who was pulled over by Joelson only felt that he was being pulled by a huge force, and there was no room for resistance at all.

Initially, he was a little dissatisfied, but when he met Joelson’s indifferent eyes, his heart could not help but tremble. He answered honestly, “That is the mansion of the castellan.”

Joelson’s expression changed and he said, “Castellan.”

He walked slowly in that direction.

The passers-by were still stunned on the spot. They looked at Joelson’s back and said something in confusion and shock.
