Chapter 808: Chapter 303: Phantom Strike (Two-in-One Chapter)
Father Old Rein’s words were like a bolt of lightning, striking Rein.
“This… father, maybe, this legend… is true.” Rein looked at his father, who was being teased by his mother Emma, and said.
“Oh? Look, Rein agrees as well.” Old Rein couldn’t help but laugh when he heard this.
And his mother Emma, seeing this scene, wanted to tease Old Rein a bit more, but out of fondness for her son, hesitated a bit and said:
“Rein is being filial, saying what you want to hear.”
His sister Bo He chuckled by the side.
Jenny and Agatha, the two women, couldn’t help but smile as well.
Only the beautiful Jennifer looked at Rein seriously, her beautiful eyes flickering, seemingly pondering the meaning of Rein’s recent words.
After dinner, Rein and the beautiful Jennifer talked in the study for a while longer, focusing naturally on the share transfer matters of the Yakesen Auction House Munster Branch.
“Did things go smoothly this afternoon?”
“Very smoothly, Olena’s negotiation skills are very strong, her words sharp, I hardly needed to speak. By the way, darling, do I need to show some appreciation to Lady Olena?” Jennifer asked.
“Just handle it as you see fit.”
Hearing Rein’s response, Jennifer was slightly relieved.
Previously, she was rather puzzled why Lady Olena was so committed to their family affairs, but now it seemed Rein and her didn’t have that kind of relationship, otherwise, his attitude wouldn’t be .
If Rein had found a girl with Transcendent power, Jennifer wouldn’t feel so tense.
But the other party was clearly a young woman, and very capable, which did make her a bit nervous, after all, it meant if Rein had that kind of relationship with her, the two of them were competing on the same track.
“By the way, Jennifer, as a shareholder of the auction house, there should be some special privileges, right?” Rein asked.
In relative terms, this was something Rein was more concerned about.
Because Rein had considered before whether he could obtain some hard-to-come-by items within the Sword Bearer organization through the auction house’s channel.
“Yes, I briefly looked at the shareholders’ charter, it says that items consigned for auction to Yakesen Auction House can be known in advance by shareholders, who also enjoy a certain level of preemptive purchase rights.”
“Of course, even with preemptive purchase, the price is not cheap, requiring a 130%~150% premium over the appraised value, with variations for different categories.”
“Pretty much as I guessed, Jennifer, please keep an eye out for me on high-quality breathing techniques, Metal or Fire Magic, and some related rare items.”
“Sure, darling.” Jennifer naturally had no problem with Rein’s request.
“By the way, in terms of your safety, currently, relying only on Matteo and the others is definitely not enough.”
“While you strengthen, if necessary, you can contact Viery. Although he is also an Imperial Swordsman, and might have some official duties, you should notify him in advance, and it shouldn’t be much of a problem.”
“Viery? Isn’t he your colleague, darling? Wouldn’t it be inappropriate?” Jennifer thought for a moment and said tactfully.
“It’s fine, he offered to become my follower, and I agreed.” Rein thought about it and shared this with Jennifer.
A Great Knight level follower?
Jennifer was taken aback, her beautiful eyes widening.
To know that when she was looking for a Guardian Knight for the family, she almost had to use her daughter Jenny’s future happiness as a bargaining chip, but Rein over here…
Even a Great Knight was eager to be his follower!
Oh my! The disparity is too great.
Since Jennifer ate quite a lot at the coffee shop in the morning, she was now in a state of having the will but lacking the strength.
So that night, Rein chose not to stay at the estate but returned to his residence at the Executor Division, as he happened to have a few things to do.
After practicing several times making Secret Silver Engraved Plate Armor, Rein returned to the study, opened a diary he had retrieved from Asimov, and carefully read through it.
This diary was different from those few frivolous diaries Rein had seized before.
There was no record of any romantic ‘love stories’ in it.
The diary mainly documented some bloodline awakening rituals Asimov knew, the bloodline transplant experiments he had experienced or personally conducted, etc.
After all, no one wants to be perpetually troubled by the side effects of bloodline transplants.
Initially, Rein wasn’t very interested in this diary.
The reason being, he had casually flipped through it before and felt that bloodline transplants didn’t seem legitimate, plus he himself had nothing to do with bloodlines, as he wasn’t a bloodline noble.
But since he awakened the Dragon Bloodline, the situation became different.
“One can use another’s strengths to check one’s weaknesses.”
Even if he doesn’t transplant bloodlines, understanding bloodline rituals would be beneficial.
“Imperial Calendar 2324, first day of the first week of the Month of Grass, I transplanted a piece of Moon Soul Werewolf’s Bloodline Essence into a prisoner at the Official Knight level…”
“…Although the prisoner had good strength, withstood the experimental surgery at the time, but still died of body collapse three days later… Damn it… they are all useless!”
