BZZZZZT.

With the sound of lightning, Fionn appeared quite a few distance away from the Apothecary.

The use of magic is quite common in the kingdom, so it didn't surprise anyone, people just looked at him curiously for a while and then went back to doing what they were doing.

"It wasn't a loss going into that store, apothecary Glenn's got a pretty good collection, my offer should draw many people tomorrow, 1000 mana crystals are no small sum." thought Fionn while strolling.

1000 mana crystal isn't a small sum, especially for a rank zero practitioner, It would take a couple of months of hard work to make that much, but for Oliver this amount is not even sufficient to fill the gaps between his teeth, therefore Fionn has a pile of crystals in his storage.

Looking up at the sky Fionn thought while Feeling a little hungry, "Time for lunch."

After ten or so minutes, in a well-furnished restaurant.

"The food is pretty good, although not as good as the Pearl Lounge. " Thought Fionn, while enjoying the dishes.

Suddenly the conversation from the next table attracted his attention.

" I heard Cloud's been missing since yesterday" said a elegantly dressed girl.

"Where would he go, must be busy causing problems for his family, Sigh, how much has he fallen." replied a petite girl, who was seated next to the elegantly dressed girl.

"You both had some old news." commented a flamboyant boy with a smirk on his face, who sat across from the ladies.

"My dad's friend is an elder in the Winson family, he told my father that Cloud didn't go missing, he left the family, I was present at that time, and I think he had no intention of hiding that information." Continued the flamboyant boy with a proud smirk on his face.

From Fionn's prospective, this guy looked just like an arrogant rooster.

"I think the Wilson family would shortly put a bounty to arrest Cloud." Said the petite girl with an excited gleam in her eyes.

"This girl probably has some beef with Cloud, his ex or something?" Thought Fionn with a chuckle.

"I don't think so" replied a muscular guy sitting beside the flamboyant guy.

"He is still the eldest son of the current patriarch of the Wilson family, how could they put a bounty on him, & its a known fact that no one can question the current Wilson patriarch's authority." Continued the muscular man with a calm tone.

"Yes, you are correct, despite Cloud being a failure, his younger son and daughter are still geniuses who entered Legacy." Said the elegantly dressed girl.

"True, even though their talent is not as terrifying as that rascal, but being twins, if they fight together they can crush anyone of the same ranks." Said the petite girl, while stuffing food into her mouth.

Suddenly, the muscular man said with a grin, while looking towards Fionn" Bro, It's bad to hear other people's conversations."

Fionn, who was on the verge of swallowing his food, almost Choked.

After drinking a sip of water, Fionn replied with a bit of embarrassment, " I was just curious about the subject, actually I am acquainted with Cloud."

"Oh, you are acquainted with that knave, they say birds of a feather flock together, I was about to invite you to join us, but not now" said the petite girl sarcastically.

"Don't be so impolite" said the elegantly dressed girl, sternly.

"Pardon her rude behaviour" She continued with a somewhat apologetic tone, while looking at Fionn.

" No, I should be the one to apologize, please forgive my intrusion" said Fionn awkwardly.

He then continued while getting up

"I am done, I'll take my leave now."

Fionn walked out after paying his bill.

"Sigh, I was too obvious, I should have paid more attention." Thought Fionn with a bad mood.

"There's still plenty of time before nightfall, what should I do?" Thought Fionn, bored.

Suddenly, with a grin he thought, let's make tomorrow's event bigger.

"Sigh, I am becoming more and more childish, what has happened to the calm and stable adult me?" Thought Fionn with a chuckle.

Then Fionn spent the whole afternoon visiting the Apothecary and the potion store he can find.

The Pearl lodge, in a luxurious suite.

Fionn, while drying his hair in the balcony, laughed and said to himself, "Old Glenn should be thanking me, he's gonna have quite a crowd tomorrow."
