Chapter 39: A Slight but Insignificant Shock

As the only person present who understood the "truth," that is, without a camera, Lynn felt the impulse to record this memorable scene.

Imagine how interesting it would be! Half of the future Tarot Club members gathering together at a party hosted by the Aurora Order, unaware of the situation, completing a nearly team-building small gathering.

I wonder if in the future, when they all join the Tarot Club, they will reminisce about this meeting with nostalgia...

Lynn joked to himself in his mind, but outwardly, he remained composed. He then took out the copied Trickmaster potion formula he had prepared before departure and placed it on the table, saying, "This is the Trickmaster potion formula. If everything is in order, let's proceed with the transaction."

"Ah, alright, no problem!" Upon hearing this, Fors didn't have the time to wonder why there were three people on the other side. She nodded repeatedly and took out £450 from her pocket, but instead of handing it to Lynn immediately, she said, "Before we conclude this transaction, I have a request."

"What request?" Lynn pretended to look puzzled at Fors, then narrowed his eyes and asked, "Are you trying to negotiate the price?"

Although he could guess that Fors and Xio wanted to discuss something related to the Spectator Pathway potion formulas, this didn't stop him from feigning ignorance.

"Is it okay?" Fors hesitated for a moment, almost subconsciously.

"Sorry, no." Lynn shook his head firmly.

Although he didn't really care about these external items, Lynn's current situation on the surface still required money. So, he wasn't inclined to give Fors any discounts.

"...Alright." Fors felt a bit disappointed, but since she hadn't prepared to bargain from the beginning, she wasn't too disheartened. She quickly composed herself and said, "Actually, I didn't intend to negotiate the price. My request mainly concerns the Spectator Pathway potion formulas you possess."

As she organized her thoughts, Fors said, "You see, I have a friend who has been wanting to purchase the Spectator Pathway potion formulas, but she hasn't been able to find them. Due to some circumstances, she couldn't attend this gathering..."

"So, I would like to ask if you could arrange a time to meet us, perhaps at the next gathering. By then, my friend will purchase the Spectator Pathway potion formulas from you."

"Our friend isn't short of money, so you don't need to worry about her bargaining. Since you've chosen to sell these potion formulas, it's beneficial for both of us." Xio added.

Upon hearing this, Lynn couldn't help but show a strange expression. He glanced at the two and said, "Is your friend the one who sought to buy Spectator and Telepathist potion formulas at the last gathering?"

"How do you know? Were you also there last time?" Fors asked in surprise.

"I was indeed there last time, but I didn't have the Spectator Pathway formulas to sell to your friend." Lynn nodded, then rubbed his chin as if lost in thought. After a few seconds, he said, "I want to confirm, is your friend really wealthy?"

"What do you mean?" Fors and Xio became alert almost instantly. Xio even gave Lynn a warning look, crossing his arms and said, "This is Mr. A's gathering. I advise you not to try anything funny."

"Our friend may be generous, but she's not someone to be taken advantage of. If you're thinking of quoting an exorbitant price, we'd rather wait." Fors added at this moment, using the term "taken advantage of" coined by Roselle.

"What are you thinking? I'm not that kind of person!" Lynn rolled his eyes at the two's reactions without any surprise. He continued, "I just want to say, if your friend is indeed wealthy and intends to pursue the Spectator Pathway, we might be able to establish long-term cooperation."

"What do you mean?" Fors was still a little puzzled, her mind not catching up immediately.

"It means that I have a ninety percent chance of obtaining the subsequent potion formulas of the Spectator Pathway in the future, such as the Hypnotist formula of Sequence 6 and the Dreamwalker formula of Sequence 5. If your friend is as wealthy as you say, once I obtain these formulas, I don't mind selling them to her at a reasonable price." Lynn said calmly, finally revealing his cards.

He had originally participated in this gathering not just out of curiosity, but also with the intention of establishing a stable trading relationship with Audrey Hall or Miss Audrey.

Lynn believed that with Miss Justice's financial resources and her desire for advancement, simply selling potion formulas could ease his financial pressure.

"You, you can still get the potion formulas of Sequence 6 and Sequence 5?" Fors was stunned. At present, she had only just reached Sequence 9 and had just bought the Sequence 8 potion formulas. She was still in a daze about the future pathways, unable to imagine the feeling of a smooth path before a demigod.

In fact, even Fors and Xio, who were amazed, couldn't help but glance at Lynn a few more times. At this moment, they couldn't help but recall the unreasonable speculation from before. Initially, they thought it was impossible, but now, they were starting to doubt.

Lynn didn't feel uncomfortable under the surprised or shocked gazes of the others. On the contrary, he confidently said, "I'm ninety percent certain."

The scene fell silent for a moment. After nearly half a minute, Fors finally spoke up, "I need to consult my friend about this matter. But if what you're saying is true... then you may indeed establish long-term cooperation with my friend."

As she said this, Fors couldn't help but feel a hint of envy towards Miss Audrey.

If what the other party said was true, Miss Audrey wouldn't have to worry about potion formulas in the future. How nice it would be! If only I could encounter someone who possesses the subsequent formulas of the apprentice pathway like Miss Audrey. But even if I did, I probably wouldn't have the money to purchase them...

Fors sighed inwardly. If it were someone with a less sturdy mentality, they might feel jealous towards Miss Audrey at this moment. But Fors didn't harbor any jealousy. She simply felt genuine admiration and happiness for Miss Audrey. Xio beside her felt the same way.

As Lynn heard this, he couldn't help but glance at Fors and Xio again. At this moment, he couldn't help but recall the inexplicable speculation from before. Initially, he thought it was impossible, but now, he was starting to doubt it.
