As soon as Leo Ray uttered these words, not only did Kelsey, who was standing respectfully in front of him, show a thoughtful expression.
Taylor, Linda, and Mason Banks by his side also became contemplative, pondering these words.
While everyone was in deep thought,
Leo Ray smiled slightly and continued to question Kelsey, the stunning redhead before him, “If my guess is correct, after the Ancient Chest was stored in the Defensive Barrier of Sanders’ Trading Conference,
Those masked men with impressive abilities should not have appeared again, right?”
“My Lord, you are indeed correct.”
Without hesitation, Kelsey nodded in agreement, visibly puzzled, as she touched the chignon at the back of her head, “But, my Lord, what does this reveal?”
On the other side, Linda’s face suddenly cleared up, and she exclaimed,
“The treasury within Sanders’ Trading Conference is the most secretive place. In theory, the mysterious organization’s formidable experts would not naturally know about the existence of the Defensive Barrier.
If so, they should have seized while the Lord of Viennas City was unprepared, regrouped their strength, and directly stormed the trading conference to seize the Ancient Chest. Why have they remained inactive?”
“Unless from the very beginning, they knew of a barrier in the treasury that even a Tier 5 Powerhouse couldn’t break!”
Upon hearing this, Kelsey was startled and immediately understood.
After calming her thoughts slightly, Kelsey furrowed her brows and continued, “This strong Defensive Barrier was requested by my father years ago through our family connections.
Although the effective range is only half a cubic meter, it is enough to store valuable items securely.
Only my father, Clyde Thompson, his Vice-President’s father, and I are aware of this matter.
Moreover, in recent times, my father and I have been preoccupied with securing auction items to maintain his position as President. We’ve been constantly traveling in and out of the city, overlooking this detail.
Looking back, it seems that the reason they initiated the competition for the President’s qualification was not only to gain the position but also to distract my father and me as much as possible.”
“What an ingenious way of killing two birds with one stone! So, it’s basically confirmed that the annoying white-faced guy and his father are members of the mysterious organization?”
Hearing this, Mason Banks stroked the white beard on his elderly face and pondered.
“It’s highly likely. Based on Michael Wood’s situation, we can confirm that some Coldflame nobles have secretly joined the opposing camp. However, we cannot rule out other schemes by the mysterious organization this time.” Leo Ray, sitting on the sofa, slightly nodded, emptied the hot tea in his tea cup, and then looked up at Kelsey, asking, “Kelsey, the Lord of Viennas City’s use of the Ancient Chest as a trap should be unknown to Clyde and his Vice-President father, right?”
“Yes, my Lord, that’s correct.”
On the other side, Kelsey nodded her head and replied, “Since my father has a closer relationship with the City Lord, and the other’s father only has a Tier 3 Peak-level power,
With these two men trying to scheme behind our backs and dethrone my father from his position as President, we haven’t informed them about this matter.
However, I believe they must have sensed something amiss, but they are not aware of the specific strength configuration on the City Lord’s side.”
“I see.”
Nodding his head slightly, Leo Ray immediately continued, “Considering our analysis thus far, there shouldn’t be any issues with the first two auctions in the afternoon. We can participate as usual.
As for the final auction in the evening, if we can figure out the mysterious organization’s powerhouse team configuration for seizing the Ancient Chest, that would be best.
If not, we can make other plans as needed. After all, neither the City Lord’s side nor the mysterious organization are aware of our existence, the third party.”
At the moment, Leo Ray’s ideal situation is to seize the Ancient Chest amidst the chaos of the opposing parties fighting.
As for the safety of Kelsey and her father during his absence, there is no need to worry.
After all, Viennas City is a medium-sized city controlled by the Coldflame family, and the Defense Army inside the city numbers at least eight thousand. In addition, there are the large number of mercenaries hired by the City Lord.
As soon as the Ancient Chest disappears, the mysterious organization’s experts, without a target, would no longer choose to continue battling.
“I wonder what the Ancient Chest is and what secrets it hides? What makes the mysterious organization so persistent?”
At this thought, Leo Ray paused, and then spoke to the redhead in front of him, “By the way, Kelsey, my actions in the hall just now must have aroused Clyde’s suspicions.
We can fabricate an identity as a noble from a remote region, and then spread it to dispel their doubts.”
Without a doubt, Leo Ray considered this approach because,
From the perspective of the opponents, if they were really here for the Ancient Chest, they would not be so high-profile.
Furthermore, the Ancient Chest is a secret known only to a select few.
So even if Clyde is truly a member of the mysterious organization, there is no need to worry too much about them being alerted.
“Yes, my Lord!”
Kelsey stepped forward and bowed in response.
“For now, let’s leave it at that. As for our next move, we can just act as a hidden third party and respond accordingly.”
Nodding slightly, Leo Ray mused for a moment and continued to the redhead before him, “By the way, Kelsey, do you have anything here that can conceal one’s aura?
At present, he only had a single blessed Invisibility Cloak with the perfect aura-concealing effect.
If the number of these items could be increased, it would undoubtedly offer significant aid to his future endeavors.
On the other hand, Kelsey bit her red lips in thought for a moment, then her eyes lit up and she said, “My Lord, there are indeed items here that possess similar effects.
Why not take this opportunity to visit to the VIP Hall with me and have a look?”
“Very well, let’s go.”
Hearing this, Leo Ray lightly smiled. Draped once more in the Illusion Cloak, he followed Kelsey towards the VIP Hall of the Trading Conference..
