"Of course I’m serious!"
The Supre Staff circled around Caelan several more tis before finally explaining at an unhurried pace,
"The reason I chose to enter the Abyss is because I had already planned to do so long ago. I just never had the opportunity."
"Now that Caelan is heading to the Abyss, he can bring along. And while I’m there, I can also take a look at what exactly the Abyss has beco!"
As for the Supre Staff’s decision, Evelyn, its owner, really had no authority to stop it.
Besides, she knew very well that going to the Abyss was sothing the Supre Staff had to do sooner or later. Only by understanding this era well enough would it have any chance of finding the other inheritance items.
Even the Supre Staff, in truth, looked forward to the day it might finally gain its freedom.
But many things were simply destiny. There was no escaping it, and no changing it.
In the end, Evelyn could only nod and agree for the mont, though she still chose to explain the situation.
"I don’t really have any issue with it, but for the entire legion, this is a major matter. So I hope you can at least give a little ti to report it."
The Supre Staff froze for a mont, then said impatiently,
"What a bother, such a bother! If I want to go sowhere, I go sowhere. What is there to report??"
"With my strength, are you people really worried I’ll get lost? And even if I did get lost, isn’t Caelan right there with ? If you don’t trust the Chosen One’s strength, then who exactly do you trust??"
It was the first ti Evelyn had ever seen Senior Supre Staff so flustered and annoyed.
Up until now, the Supre Staff had always felt to her like an unfathomable scholar.
But just now, that scholarly aura had been utterly smashed to pieces.
"All right, then I’ll go report it. Senior Supre Staff, please don’t leave yet—at least wait until I co back. Please!"
But then she thought it over again and suddenly felt that, given Commander rlinster’s personality, if she really went to report it, she would most likely be refused anyway. And then she would offend both the Supre Staff and Caelan at the sa ti, which was completely unnecessary.
With that in mind, Evelyn took the initiative and said,
"Um... could you let co with you to the Abyss as well? If I go too, Commander should probably stop objecting."
Before Caelan could even speak, the Supre Staff voiced its opinion first.
"Wonderful! If you’re willing to co along, that would be perfect!"
"In fact, I think the two of you working together would be very interesting. And once you enter the Abyss, it’ll be good for you to have soone watching your back."
Evelyn nodded, but then raised another issue.
"The problem now is that we don’t have an [Umbra Club Invitation]. Even if we enter the Abyss, we’ll only be able to act separately."
"Senior Supre Staff is fine—it can just disguise itself as an ordinary staff and sneak in. But I can’t..."
Faced with Evelyn’s concern, Caelan directly took out another invitation from his storage space.
Co to think of it, this was the extra one he had gotten earlier when he killed the Instance Administrator in the labyrinth. He had not expected it to co in handy at exactly the right mont.
"Here. I just happen to have one extra."
Evelyn froze for a mont, then took the [Umbra Club Invitation] and looked at it.
In the next instant, shock and delight appeared in her eyes.
"You’re really willing to give this invitation to ?"
"A rare item like this would sell for at least several hundred billion gold coins on the market!"
Caelan smiled faintly, then raised two fingers.
"Since we know each other, I’ll charge you only 20 billion gold coins. Fair price, right??"
20 billion gold coins??
Evelyn was completely dumbfounded, then imdiately put on a pitiful expression.
"But I really don’t have that many gold coins!"
"Are you trying to squeeze dry??"
Caelan frowned. He had not expected Evelyn to be this poor—not even having a re 20 billion gold coins. It seed her status in the Supre Staff Legion really was not all that high!
Still, what if he ended up unable to sell it at all?
After thinking for a bit, Caelan said with visible reluctance,
"How about this—considering our relationship, I’ll give you a 9.99 discount. That’s basically a shattered-bones bargain. Think it over!"
In truth, under normal circumstances, Caelan’s price was already extrely generous.
After all, the [Umbra Club Invitation] itself was an exceptionally precious item, the kind that had a price but no market.
The problem, however, was that very few people actually needed such an item, which ant the trading volu was extrely low.
Caelan had not failed to try listing the [Umbra Club Invitation] in the exchange before, but over the past few days it had basically been ignored.
Now that he had finally run into soone who needed it, he figured that even if he had to take a bit of a loss, it was still better to cash it out quickly.
On the other side, Evelyn pouted gloomily.
"Your discount has absolutely no sincerity at all. I’m not buying it."
In fact, Evelyn’s decision was very rational.
For her, entering the Abyss did not necessarily require going through the Umbra Club, even if that route would grant a much higher-status identity.
The issue was that she simply did not have that many gold coins!
Forget it. Better to make do with so cheaper option for now.
At that thought, Evelyn was already considering whether she should try buying one from the auction house, or ask so of her old friends if any of them had a suitable one to spare.
As for the Supre Staff beside her, it bought the [Umbra Club Invitation] almost without hesitation.
"This is a nice item. I can keep it as a souvenir. Little Evelyn, you pay for it."
The mont Evelyn heard that, she froze completely.
Wait... was this a joke??
Senior Supre Staff, whose Supre Staff are you supposed to be exactly!??
But by the ti Evelyn thought of regretting it, it was already too late.
Because Senior Supre Staff had... actually used the black-gold card that the commander had given it!
And Caelan moved so quickly that he had already transferred out the balance.
Seriously, weren’t they at least supposed to ask how she felt about this??
At that mont, Evelyn felt a splitting headache coming on. She was even beginning to suspect she had boarded a pirate ship.
"All right, stop standing there in a daze. It’s not like it was your gold coins being spent, so stop worrying so much."
"Take the ticket. We’re going to have a good look around the Abyss and enjoy ourselves!"
Still looking completely lost, Evelyn accepted the invitation. Yet a trace of surprise flickered across her face.
She felt like she understood now—the Supre Staff probably had its own arrangents.
It might not have told her many things, but it would never deliberately screw her over.
