Chapter 449: Chapter 372 Doctor Chapter 449: Chapter 372 Doctor On the high-rise building.
Gwen had already received the report from his subordinates, and his expression became heavy.
Antonios said, “What, did the One-eyed Dragon’s people get stumped?”
Gwen looked at Antonios and took a deep breath.
“Not just stumped, they all died!”
Antonios paused while holding his dessert and glanced at the time.
From the beginning until now, it had only been about ten minutes.
“He is indeed ruthless…” Anthony took a bite of his dessert. “Wealthy and powerful… I wonder where this expert popped up from.”
Gwen said, “According to your instructions, Alan has already brought people over.”
“After all, a commission of 500,000 Cent Star Stones is worth my involvement.”
Gwen instructed his subordinates, “Go, add another set of cutlery and serve a premium steak.”
“Yes, boss!”
…
Not long after, Su Yuan followed Alan into the room.
“Mr. Anglie? Please, have a seat!”
Gwen stood up with a smile and greeted Su Yuan.
“Your Excellency cleared out the One-eyed Dragon all by yourself, truly impressive! That One-eyed Dragon has been burning, killing, and looting, creating a lot of trouble. Half a year ago, he even clashed with my subordinates. I couldn’t stand him for a long time, well done!”
Su Yuan knew that these people were all similar, but he wouldn’t offend Gwen either. So he smiled and exchanged some pleasantries before turning to the seated Antonios.
“Are you Dr. Antonios?”
“Yes, I am.”
Antonios sized up Su Yuan, a flash of surprise flickering in his eyes.
Su Yuan got straight to the point: “Shall we talk about the sealing matter?”
Antonios nodded, then said to Gwen, “Gwen, can we use your place for a bit?”
“It’s a small matter,” Gwen chuckled and instructed a subordinate to bring a bottle of rare red wine, which he personally opened for the two. “Take your time.”
After speaking, Gwen left and closed the door behind him.
After Gwen left, Antonios opened his right hand, and a sliver of silver light flickered, revealing a delicate silver knife in his palm.
The knife shimmered with a cold light, incredibly sharp, making one feel a faint stabbing pain just by looking at it.
“Power of Soul!” Su Yuan’s eyes narrowed slightly.
It was a soul power in the form of an artifact!
The memory of the Twelve Palace Star Envoy’s Soul Melting Demon Vat was still fresh. Unexpectedly, he encountered another soul power in artifact form so soon.
Gwen held the silver knife, and as he swung it casually, streams of silver light spread like tassels, enveloping both himself and Su Yuan, as if “detaching” from the main world.
Outside, Gwen, who had been secretly watching with magic, shook his head. “That fellow Antonios really won’t let me see, will he? Well, it’s better to know less about these matters to avoid trouble.”
Gwen withdrew his gaze and went to rest with his subordinates.
“What a remarkable method, it seems to involve space power?” Su Yuan praised.
With his All-Knowing Vision, he naturally sensed Gwen spying from outside. If Antonios hadn’t intervened, he would have acted to block the observation himself.
But now, as Antonios isolated this space, even his All-Knowing Vision’s probing was cut off by the silver light!
Antonios put away the silver knife. “It’s just a matter of cutting to isolate space, not truly using space power. I heard from Alan that you, Your Excellency, actually possess quite a number of space-related skills.”
Su Yuan smiled, “However, my Spatial Slash may not be as sharp as your knife.”
Antonios chuckled, “That One-eyed Dragon was impervious to knives and bullets after transforming, and ordinary people couldn’t even break his skin. Your Excellency Anglie managed to cut his body, which isn’t something just anyone can do. I am far inferior.”
Su Yuan didn’t say more and went straight to the topic: “I heard you specialize in sealing?”
“Specialize isn’t accurate, but I understand it somewhat.”
“I need you to lift a seal for me, imprinted inside a person’s body. Do you think you can handle it?”
Anglie chuckled, “Unless it was laid by someone at the Radiant Moon Level, I should be able to handle it.”
“Oh?” Seeing Anglie’s confidence, Su Yuan said plainly, “500,000 Cent Star Stones for your assistance, how about it?”
Antonios thought for a moment and said, “I can do it, but my price is 1,000,000 Cent Star Stones.”
1,000,000 Cent Star Stones…
Su Yuan didn’t get angry but scrutinized Antonios for a moment and then said slowly, “This price seems a bit high.”
“I’m not raising the price arbitrarily, but compared to the potential risks, the extra 500,000 isn’t unreasonable.”
Antonios smiled as he looked at Su Yuan, examining him closely.
“If I’m not mistaken, you seem to be from the ‘South,’ right…”
He emphasized the word “South,” clearly hinting at something.
The space fell silent for a moment.
Su Yuan’s eyes narrowed, and stars of star power danced on his left hand, with Sky Lock already prepared.
But soon, Su Yuan calmed down, released his left hand, and said slowly, “How did you figure it out? It seems you didn’t use any pupil skill.”
Antonios poured Su Yuan a glass of red wine and smiled, “Since I’m called a doctor, I naturally understand the human body a bit.
Ordinary people can’t tell, but to someone familiar with human anatomy like me, your Excellency’s facial features and body show some noticeable inconsistencies.
Moreover, the facial age appears older than the body’s age.
If I’m not mistaken, you should be quite young, probably only in your twenties?”
Completely accurate!
Su Yuan’s heart tightened, secretly astonished.
There’s a specialized skill for everything; this world is indeed full of remarkable individuals.
Xu Fengtian had said that even the Burning Sun Level needed to look closely to notice any discrepancy when the Mask of Disguise was used. Yet, it was seen through by the person in front of him at a glance.
It’s crucial to always stay vigilant and never underestimate others.
Antonios said, “I am from Qiguang myself and have been hiding in Rhein to evade the bounty on my head, so there’s no need to worry about me causing trouble.
Saying this, Antonios took out a wanted poster.
Above, it bore Antonios’s name, title, and likeness, along with the official seal of Qiguang.
Seeing the bounty amount, even Su Yuan was slightly tempted; it was a whopping 3,000,000 Cent Star Stones!
Antonios continued, “I don’t know your exact identity or purpose, but as a Southerner with such a big commotion looking for someone skilled in sealing, it must be no simple matter. Hence, 1,000,000 seems reasonable.”
Su Yuan pondered for a moment before nodding, “1,000,000 Cent Star Stones, agreed.”
Considering the success of this task, 1,000,000 Cent Star Stones wasn’t a big deal.
Besides, the One-eyed Dragon gang just dealt with should have a decent amount of Star Stones on them.
Su Yuan directly took out 200,000 Cent Star Stones and handed them to Antonios.
“Here’s 200,000 upfront. The rest will be paid in full after you break the seal.”
Antonios accepted the Star Stones with a smile, “Alright! Straightforward. So where is the person with the seal? If I’m not mistaken, they’re not in Saint Louis?”
“In Hardiles.”
“Hardiles? That’s a bit far, might take a day or two.”
Su Yuan asked, “Is there anything you need to address? If not, let’s set off immediately.”
Since he had found someone capable of breaking the seal, Su Yuan wanted to return quickly and have Antonios check on Yang Aoshan’s condition.
Antonios nodded and went to bid farewell to Gwen.
“Gwen, we’ve come to an agreement and are about to leave.”
Gwen nodded, “Alright, this task sounds tough with such a high price. Be careful.”
Antonios handed the 200,000 Cent Star Stones Su Yuan gave him to Gwen.
“Take this, consider it my board for these days.”
“Well… fine.” Gwen smiled.
Antonios nodded and was about to leave with Su Yuan but suddenly thought of something and lowered his voice.
“Gwen, I’ve stayed here for a while. If anyone comes asking about me, you don’t need to hide it.”
“What are you saying? We’re old friends; I wouldn’t sell you out… But, where are you heading?”
“West. I might be back in a few days… or maybe not.”
Gwen was silent for a moment, understanding Antonios’s meaning. Being a high-value Qiguang fugitive, he couldn’t stay in one place too long.
It was dangerous, not only for him but for those around him.
Gwen patted Antonios’s shoulder seriously, “Alright, stay safe.”
“Sure.”
…
Su Yuan and Antonios left the city, and when they were alone, Su Yuan stopped.
“What is it?” Antonios asked, puzzled.
Su Yuan spread his hands, and a dense silver light appeared before him. Shortly, a silver door emerged beside them, swirling with silver light, emitting strong space fluctuations.
“A space portal?!”
Antonios’s eyes showed surprise as he reevaluated Su Yuan.
This must be the Epic Purple Card of the Space, and a quite rare one!
“Impressive, Your Excellency Anglie possesses such a skill!” Antonios admired.
Su Yuan nodded, “Let’s go, it’ll be faster this way.”
“Alright.”
They stepped into the space portal and disappeared from the spot…
