Chapter 246: Lyon's Secret
What was happening in the Umbral Depths was completely unknown to Ambrose.
He was far too busy. The components for the mana extraction furnace had finally arrived. Crates of all sizes stacked up, filling half the castle.
"This really is top-tier equipment. Didn't that old man Flynn skim anything off the top?"
After opening several crates to inspect the goods, Ambrose confirmed that every single component was of excellent quality, without any inferior substitutions or corner-cutting.
Gustavo Flynn's already dark complexion seemed to grow even darker as he watched Ambrose check the cargo. He snapped, "Do you think I'm a profiteer like you?"
Ambrose chuckled. "Oh? And who was it that tricked me into leaving my castle and then brought paladins to raid it?"
Flynn snorted. He was used to Ambrose dredging up old grievances and couldn't be bothered to argue anymore. Besides, this lich was obsessed with gold. Winning an argument wouldn't lower his prices by even a single gold coin. Better to save his breath.
Ambrose didn't press further and smoothly changed the subject. "So, Flynn, you finally became Chairman as planned. What's your next move?"
"First, I need to stabilize relations with the Dwarven King. That bastard Dol Beck pulled one last trick on me before losing. The council's relationship with the kingdom isn't exactly great right now."
