Chapter 57 Cooperation
When Viktor came out of the laboratory building, his expression was relatively calm.
The bad news is that, contrary to expectations, his cheap mentor is unwilling to take action personally.
The good news is that although he is unwilling to take action, he is willing to offer his name as protection. However, how he proceeds from there is up to him.
To be honest, this was not quite what Viktor had expected.
He knew his own situation well and didn't have the time or energy to deal with such a large batch of magic crystals. It would be a waste of time and energy, and it would be difficult for him to dispose of them.
It's possible to contact some large wizarding guilds to handle it, but those guilds are backed by legitimate wizards. In a normal transaction, Manugs's reputation wouldn't be enough to persuade the guilds to lower the price. In the end, they would simply have to sell off the magic crystals at a low price themselves.
Selling it yourself is utter nonsense.
Without channels, without time, and with concerns about various influences, a low-level wizard apprentice selling large quantities of high-purity magic crystals will attract countless eyes. When there is no profit involved, most wizards are not difficult to get along with, but once there is a direct benefit to them, the cruelty and ruthlessness inherent in wizards are not just empty words.
Therefore, his initial plan was to earn a toll.
He could either hand it over to the academy in exchange for a large number of points or other rewards, or hand it over to Manugs and then quietly disappear with some benefits... That's what he's thinking now!
"However, now that Manugs has entrusted everything to me... how can I hand it over again and still benefit myself?"
Victor pondered for a moment.
He quickened his pace and left the college, but instead of rushing back to the West District, he walked in the opposite direction of the street and soon disappeared into the street.
......
The sunlight changes from its shallowness in the early morning, to its intensity at noon, and then to its gradual dimness in the afternoon.
Viper and his group had been waiting in the same spot for most of the day, but Viktor still hadn't returned. They couldn't help but feel uneasy. Out of the corner of their eyes, they glanced at the street corner in the distance, where the knight was still standing ramrod straight.
Viper withdrew his gaze, glanced at his subordinates who were already showing signs of impatience, and reached for the water bottle to take a sip.
After hesitating for a moment, he walked up to Garr and asked:
"Um... Gar, right?"
"The master hasn't come back for so long... do you think something might have happened...?"
Before he could finish speaking, Gal's gaze had already shifted to him.
Although it hadn't made any move yet, the viper felt a chill rising in its throat, as if its head was about to be chopped off in the next second.
He felt a chill run down his spine and immediately swallowed the rest of his sentence.
Meeting Garr's cold gaze, he gave an awkward laugh:
"It's nothing, it's nothing... The master must have been held up by something, he should be here soon..."
After saying that, he didn't stop for a second and quickly turned away from Gal's side.
His face fell the moment he turned around, his heart filled with displeasure. Especially when he returned to his men and found them all looking drowsy and lethargic, he became even angrier and slapped one of his underlings on the head.
"Stop sleeping, you bastards!"
"If this delays the adults' business, you could die a thousand times over, you understand?"
This sudden shout immediately woke up all the Snake Venom Gang members around them.
Even Gar, on the other side, couldn't help but frown and look over. When Viper noticed this, he was overjoyed and was about to say something sarcastic to Gar when he suddenly saw Gar's expression tighten and then quickly turn around and walk towards the alley entrance.
Immediately following was Gal's voice:
"Your Highness!"
And Viktor's voice:
"Thank you for your hard work, Gar... I hope nothing went wrong here?"
Garr:
"No, everything is peaceful."
Victor:
"That's good."
Then came the sound of approaching footsteps.
Viper immediately sprang to attention, realizing that Victor had finally returned. He quickly patted his underlings to wake them up, then strode over to them.
But he had only taken a few steps forward when Viktor's figure appeared before him.
Viper held his breath... because what appeared before him was not just Victor, but a total of six wizards in wizard robes, including himself!
Putting everything else aside, the sheer magical field created by these wizards together was enough to make him break out in a sweat.
He stopped in his tracks, quickly forcing a humble smile, and tried to greet Viktor:
"grown ups......"
Victor glanced at him.
"The smell here is absolutely awful."
"And these stinking mortals... are they all your men?"
"They should all know about the magic crystals by now?"
"Do you want to get rid of them all, Viktor?"
The first to speak was Vladimir, who was standing beside him. He and Lina were both wearing the same red robes.
However, unlike Lina's fiery passion, the color of his wizard robe was a deep red, like blood... It seemed as if he were truly wearing a blood-stained wizard robe, and his attitude was full of arrogance... Completely different from when he was alone with them.
But let's not even talk about him; the others aren't much better off either.
Even Nina, who seemed warm and friendly, didn't take Viper and other mortals seriously at all. After hearing Vladimir's question, she even gave Viktor a meaningful look.
It means that if these people need to be eliminated, she can also help.
Sweat dripped from Viper's forehead and onto the ground, but he was so overwhelmed by the pressure that he couldn't even speak. He could only turn his head to look at Viktor with a pleading expression... and then he realized that Viktor was also staring at him.
He remained silent for a second, two seconds, three seconds... and finally spoke:
"Forget it."
"They're still somewhat useful to me. If I kill them all, I'll have to find more, which is a hassle."
"Besides, since the magic crystals here have been guaranteed by Instructor Manuggus and acquired by the Hayley family, no one would be so foolish as to search for them."
Vladimir gave a playful look:
"Yeah?"
"Alright, then let these bedbugs go this time."
"But Viktor, wouldn't you say I've repaid that favor?"
Victor glanced at him sideways:
"You think you can just find any excuse to repay a favor?"
"I don't agree, Vladimir."
Vladimir smiled slightly and waved his hand, saying:
"Haha, I was just kidding...don't mind it."
Nina spoke up, stopping their pointless conversation:
"I think we should go and see those magic crystals that Viktor mentioned first, rather than chatting."
"Although the Hayley family's trading company can buy these magic crystals at the highest possible price, we also need to know the minimum value of these magic crystals."
"Isn't this what we should be concerned about... everyone?"
