Chapter 372: Trap (I)
When Timothy saw the Goldsoul Crystal, not only was there shock in his eyes but also a sense of profound greed. These treasures could purify your Wave, solidifying your foundations, exactly what someone needed to move from the peak of a rank to the next stage.
As he grew older, Timothy had sought many treasures that could help him improve his cultivation, but none of them had been able to forcefully push him to the Wave King Rank. He was aware of the miracles that were the personal treasures of the Goldsoul Imperial Family, but while he wanted to get them, they were beyond his reach.
"Where did you get it!?" Timothy demanded.
Ocius’ eyes grew cold at the question, and he waved his hand, making the Goldsoul Crystal return to his space ring.
Timothy nearly jumped out of his seat when he saw the sky-blue crystal vanish, but he managed to get a hold of himself and took a deep breath before calming his heart.
"I am sorry for that question. I know better than to ask someone to divulge their secrets; it’s just that you showed me something very appealing."
"No problem," Ocius softly nodded as he stared at the old Wave Champion for a long time before speaking again.
"I need your help to store them since if the Imperial Court were to discover I have them, I would get into serious trouble. Of course, I will pay you for it. I currently have 300 Warrior Goldsoul Crystals, 25 Champion Goldsoul Crystals, and 4 King Goldsoul Crystals."
Timothy’s eyes widened as he heard the words from Ocius since that amount of wealth was shocking beyond belief, at least for him.
Although the greed in his heart was burning, the alderman did not lose focus and could keep a cool head. That was one of the reasons he had secured a position on the Azure Royal Council despite his weak cultivation.
