Life After Prison by Silencieux novel Chapter 1383

Musa looked at his waist and smiled embarrassingly, "Hehe. Me too. Still, this is the first time to attempt something like this and I'm feeling guilty about it. I'm really scared we will accidentally get the sect involved."

Stephanie thought about it and said nonchalantly, "Nonsense! We just need to be careful about letting him know who we are. If he found out, we just have to kill him and that's the end of the story."

"Are you serious?" Musa smiled bitterly and thought it was a bad idea.

The look on Stephanie's face showed that she was quite shocked by Musa's reaction. "Musa, you're not you. Isn't this what you have been teaching us? Didn't you tell us it's normal for people like us to have blood on our hands? Didn't you tell us to be cruel? Didn't you tell us those are essential for our survival and avoid being killed by the others?"

Musa smiled bitterly. "That's necessary when we are in a secret realm. We shouldn't feel sorry for those monsters or people when we are on a treasure hunt. However, it's different here. This is the mundane world. We're not allowed to act recklessly or do anything we want here. It's the unwritten rules that have been going on for many years. Do you understand?"

That did not convince Stephanie. "I didn't say we must kill him. As long as we stay anonymous during the process of taking back the cauldron, I don't have to kill him. I just don't want him to talk badly and ruin our sect's reputation if he finds out where we are from."

Musa nodded. "I know what you mean. Anyway, just try not to kill him unless the situation is bad for us. He's a genius, after all."

"What? Is he really bidding again? Let's see what's he bidding this time."

After the small chat, Stephanie heard Severin's voice again and felt shocked. "Spiritual herb! After spending four billion high-rank spiritual stones, he actually has more on him!"

"I can tell he's a very good alchemist. How nice it would be if he could join our sect. I'm sure it's going to bring prosperity to our sect if he joins. And he's also the owner of the cauldron," Musa said.

Stephanie replied with a bitter smile, "I don't think that's a good idea. We have already promised Samir that we're getting the cauldron for him. He's not going to be happy if he doesn't get the cauldron and we ended up inviting Severin who has the cauldron to join our sect."

Then she continued, "He's going to know which sect we are from if we invite him. What if he refuses to join? Are we going to steal the cauldron or not? If we go on with our plan, that means we have to kill him."

After some deep thinking, Musa sighed helplessly. "Forget about that then. Let's do what you said. He's really very gifted in alchemy. Seeing how he remains in the mundane world, maybe that's enough to tell that he's a man who yearns for power and money in this mundane world. I don't think it's easy to convince him to join the sect."

After a while, the bidding went on very smoothly for Severin. He managed to get more than twenty third-grade spiritual herbs and also some fourth-grade low-rank and medium-rank spiritual herbs.

"Is he here to stock up his inventory?" Jeremy asked while feeling speechless.

The total amount of spiritual stones Severin had spent came up to about 6 billion spiritual stones. Other than the cauldron, he spent the rest of the spiritual stones on spiritual herbs.

"Alright. That's the end of today's auction. Thank you everyone for coming. Please have a nice day."
