The person in the room reached out and took the storage device from a distance, opened it, quickly scanned it, and finally smiled unreservedly, gesturing for the man with the collar to leave.
It wasn’t until he left the room and the automatic door closed that the man with the collar finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, the master seemed very happy this time and didn’t torment him...
He was really lucky. The previous informants who didn’t bring good news were tortured to death by the master with those potions, venting his anger, and he actually came across good news...
If he had stayed a little longer just now, would there have been a reward...
The man with the collar suddenly widened his eyes, his hands tightly gripping the collar on his neck, but how could he, only a Tier Two Transcendent, destroy this unknown material collar?
As the fine needles injected the potion from the collar into his neck, the man with the collar fell powerless, his whole body reduced to twitching.
Until he completely lost consciousness, he couldn’t figure out why, even though he brought good news, even though the master had let him leave, he still couldn’t be the one who survived...
Meanwhile, in the room, the person who had just remotely sentenced the man with the collar to death showed no emotional fluctuation, not even avoiding others present in the room while executing the action.
No one had any objections to this.
After all, he was just experimental material, and for the sake of secrecy, killing him directly was fine...
One of them asked first, voicing what was on many people’s minds.
"The medicine-refining Contractor has been found!
It’s a Contractor named Fan Mao!"
Taking the storage device, the owner of the spacecraft smiled as he answered, immediately sparking lively discussion among everyone.
"As expected, it’s a Contractor!"
"I said so, it must be a Contractor for it to be this hard to trace!"
"Now that we’ve found the person, let’s act quickly to avoid complications over time!"
As everyone chimed in, the room quickly turned somewhat chaotic.
Even though normally they were prominent figures in the Starry Sky, their attire symbolizing their status.
Of course, the most important thing was still the well-maintained badges on their chests shining under the light.
—A metal badge engraved with a pattern of flasks and intersecting plants, symbolizing "Alchemist."
Making them so out of sorts, as if a vegetable market, clearly showed they were pushed to the extreme.
The owner of the spacecraft pressed down with both hands to gesture for silence, suppressing the hubbub.
Because as the source of information, he had become, albeit subtly, the leader of this group of Pharmacists.
Even though their situation was quite poor, it did not prevent him from finding some sense of superiority among his peers.
Ever since the news of those potions from the transit area gradually spread, although they tried to squash it with money, they couldn’t stop the broad Middle Tier Transcendents from Tier Four to Six in the Starry Sky from spreading the word.
But that wasn’t the deadliest issue; more crucially, even the companies and major forces they used to cooperate with had started distancing themselves from them!
They used to call them Little Sweetie, but now, at a critical moment, they call them Mrs. Niu...
These forces usually treated them with respect, making them feel that these powers had to curry favor with them, were made by them.
As soon as rumors started over the past few days, they sensitively noticed the subtle change in these forces’ attitudes towards them.
Initially, some of them tried to reason with these forces but were quickly taught about the peril of the Starry Sky, acknowledging the harsh reality.
Without the support of these forces, they realized they were nothing!
No resources, no one to work for them, and because of their over-reliance on their backing forces, they were being manipulated by major powers...
Even though they were furious, they didn’t dare to rebel against those forces, so naturally, they could only aim all their anger at the creator of all these problems, the Alchemist who could produce so many potions.
However, most of them were already in a delicate state with the forces behind them, and even if they hadn’t fallen out, they had realized that the forces behind them were starting to lean towards that Alchemist.
Under such circumstances, employing someone through the forces backing them to attack the Alchemist on the planet under Paradise’s protection was impossible.
They might even expose their purpose and be imprisoned...
Therefore, they could only prepare to take personal risks to hire someone.
"It’s certain that we should take action, since Fan Mao has already been unkind to us, we cannot be unjust!
But as you know now, Fan Mao is a Contractor guaranteed by Paradise, so hiring someone to kill a Contractor under Paradise’s protection on a Paradise planet will definitely cost more than usual.
Moreover, according to the information, he is on the same Tier Six as us, so a Seventh Rank must take action to ensure the outcome, but the price..."
Before the spacecraft owner finished speaking, someone interrupted:
"Hey, isn’t it just money!
Everyone here has accumulated for decades to a century; money is not an issue!
Since this is to solve everyone’s crisis, everyone should contribute money!"
With those words, many agreed, and even those who intended to be stingy couldn’t find an excuse. If they refused, they would likely become everyone’s enemy, so they could only agree too.
