Chapter 64: Chapter 64 The Bet 4
"Slash!"
In Kartis Kai's resentful gaze, Blaze Regret's Sun Fire fingers pierced through Kartis Man's wrist, and immediately, a piercing scream echoed throughout the scene.
"First time using it, and the power is not bad," Blaze Regret said calmly, gently retracting his fingers.
"Swish!"
At the same time, the Steel Armored Rat instantly returned to Park Lily's side, its expression calm. Standing upright, it was even taller than Park Lily.
"Hehe, Master Blaze, I apologize for the disturbance today. I, Bot, will take my leave now."
Amid the crowd, someone chuckled awkwardly and cupped his hands in a polite gesture before turning to leave.
He had some cooperation with the Blaze family and had rushed over upon hearing rumors of their impending bankruptcy. But to his surprise, the young master of the Blaze family was actually an alchemist!
With an alchemist backing them, bankruptcy? Who would believe that!
"Don't be in such a hurry to leave."
Blaze Ash suddenly laughed. His gentle laughter made the man named Bot feel as if he was under a spell, freezing him in place, unable to move.
"Here is the cooperation agreement we signed a few days ago, along with the deposit," Blaze Peter said with a smile, walking up to the man and handing over the items.
Instantly, the man named Bot began to sweat profusely.
"Inform the merchants who are still in the market that there will be no rent for the next three years. Oh, and as for the Ban family, they will receive a 20% share of the business outside the city."
Turning around and walking back inside, Blaze Ash spoke slowly and methodically.
"Three years of free rent!"
Many people were struck as if by lightning, unable to believe it. The rent for three years was an unimaginably huge sum!
But more people showed expressions of joy. These were the ones who had stayed in the market. At this moment, they suddenly realized how wise their decision had been.
Of course, there were also quite a few people whose faces looked ashen, as if the prize they had been so close to grasping had suddenly slipped away.
"Hehe, I bet Blaze Ash's face must be darker than the bottom of a pot right now."
In the Pan family residence, Pan kan gently stroked a white feathered cat lying on his lap, a playful smile on his face.
"Compared to Blaze Ash, I'm more interested in Ban Pitar right now."
Sun Mek shook his head with a smile, his face full of satisfaction. He was on a different level compared to Blaze Ash, so he didn't feel much about Blaze's situation. It was Ban Pitar, who was on the same level as him, that caught his attention.
"That old guy will die from his stubbornness sooner or later."
Pan Kan sneered, his face full of pride, as if falling out with the Blaze family from the start had been the right decision all along.
"What? That's impossible!"
Suddenly, a voice full of shock and doubt came from outside the door.
"Pan Dek, why are you shouting? What's the big deal?"
Although he said this, Pan Kan was secretly delighted, guessing that Pan Dek had probably learned that the Blaze family's delay tactics had failed and they had gone bankrupt.
"Master, bad news!" Pan Dek ran in, his face as dark as liver.
"What happened?" Sun Mek looked at Pan Dek with a smile.
Pan Dek struggled to catch his breath and said with difficulty, "That Blaze Regret turned out to be an alchemist and even managed to refine the Purple Fire Pill!"
"What?" Pan Kan shuddered, gripping the white feathered cat on his lap so tightly that it cried out in pain.
"Are you sure?" Sun Mek also stood up abruptly, glaring at Pan Dek with a fierce look.
"Absolutely sure. The news is spreading all over the city, and Blaze Ash has even given the Ban family a 20% share of the business," Pan Dek said bitterly.
"It's over, it's all over..."
Pan Kan and Sun Mek both collapsed into their chairs, their faces blank and dazed, as if struck by lightning. A sense of despair washed over them.
They could already imagine the terrifying revenge that the Blaze family would unleash in the future!
In a quiet room, two wooden tubs, one large and one small, were placed on the floor. Blaze Regret and Red were soaking in each of the tubs, their arms lazily draped over the edges, their eyes half closed, looking extremely comfortable.
"Ugh~"
Red lifted its eyelids slightly, glanced at Blaze Regret, twitched its little ears, and then continued to feign sleep.
"Phew, this spirit liquid is indeed quite effective."
Blaze Regret looked down to check the injury on his chest and let out a long breath, but then he smiled bitterly.
As expected, without the help of the simulated alchemist cauldron, the mental energy required to refine a single pill was enormous. He had been soaking in the tub for three whole days just to barely recover.
Thankfully, Park Lily knew how to handle things well. He stayed up all night to refine dozens of bottles of spirit liquid and sent them over. This allowed Blaze Regret's body, which had been severely injured by the broken cauldron, to begin recovering at an impressive speed.
"Probably in another day, your Scorching Flame Cat will be able to break through to the eighth tier."
Master Magi suddenly floated into the air, flipping through some yellowed ancient texts without looking up.
Nodding, Blaze Regret shifted his body and, feeling a bit more comfortable, drifted off to sleep.
Warm sunlight filtered through the gaps in the window, casting dappled shadows of leaves on the floor, making the whole room feel incredibly cozy.
"Young Master Blaze, the Master of the Blaze family requests your presence in the main hall."
As soon as Blaze Regret opened his eyes, an unfamiliar, crisp voice suddenly called out.
Raising an eyebrow in curiosity, Blaze Regret opened the door to find a young girl in a green dress standing respectfully in front of it.
"Who are you?" Blaze Regret asked hesitantly.
"I am a maid from the Atlas Shop, sent by Mr. Mark," the young girl replied, keeping her head lowered, not daring to meet Blaze Regret's gaze.
