Chapter 313 312: Proposal

Chapter 313 312: Proposal

"So what do you want Mrs. Manager?"

The moment Corey asked this question, the atmosphere in the room became solemn and quiet for the first five seconds before a soft laughter resounded in the room.

"I think you know what I want Anon."

Calista chuckled softly while wiping away the tear that had formed in her left eye as a result of her laughter.

"There is only one thing you have that I'm interested in."

Calista paused, and the smile on her face slowly vanished.

"The concoction recipe for Neon."

Calista emotionlessly spread out her hand and a fraction of her aura spread out into the room.

Despite the stifling pressure that was emitted by Calista, Corey remained unperturbed and still maintained a nonchalant expression, slightly surprising Calista.

Corey gazed at Calista for a few seconds, then he gave a subtle glance towards Kiefer who was having visible difficulty breathing.

Corey looked back at Calista, then he waved his right hand towards her.

Woosh.

The sound of an object moving at a fast speed whistled through the air, and in the blink of an eye, the sound abruptly stopped.

"I'm quite displeased by your actions."

Calista's voice which contained a tinge of slight anger resounded in the room.

Hovering in front In front of her was a piece of folded paper which was a mere centimeter from touching the tip of her nose.

"What's to stop me from punishing you right now?"

Calista asked while pushing away the sheet of folded paper with a finger, and looking at Corey with a calm expression.

"That's the recipe."

Corey nonchalantly replied while gesturing towards the folded sheet of paper.

Calista raised a brow, then she held the sheet of paper.

"It's good I didn't burn it then."

Calista said, then she opened the paper and took a quick glance at its contents.

A second later, her eyes widened in astonishment and she exclaimed:

"The most important ingredient of Neon which allows a person is a soul stone? A fragment of a soul stone?"

Old man poison immediately stood and shouted.

"Creating a narcotic like that would go against common sense!"

"It's alright when it only affects mortals. But if it can also affect mystical beings, then that would change and disrupt a lot of things!"

"It would cause chaos!"

Old man poison shouted despite the presence of Calista.

Calista did not mind, and her gaze was constantly on Corey to spot any sign of lies and falsehood in his words.

A subtle smile appeared on Corey's lips when he heard his master's words, but he said nothing.

"Of course, the new version of Neon which I want to call Neon 2.0, is just an idea of mine. I've been thinking about it, and I'm 80% sure my idea would work out."

Corey said, then he glanced at old man poison.

"But, I'll need help to concoct Neon 2.0."

Corey said, and Calista slightly furrowed her brows.

"What kind of help do you need?"

Calista asked with a curious tone, and a slight smile appeared on Corey's lips.

"I need good poison specialists, tier 4s or tier 5s that have a high level of control over mana and mystic energy, resources, a well equipped laboratory, and whatever thing that comes to my mind in the future."

Corey nonchalantly said, and Calista furrowed her brows while spinning the empty glass cup in her hands.

"So, if I give you all of these and you're able to create Neon 2.0. What then?"

"We automatically become business partners and maybe friends?"

"Do you really think I'd still allow you to freely run a business using Neon and Neon 2.0?"

Calista mockingly asked with raised brows, and Corey shrugged.

"Of course we use a system contract. And..."

Corey paused, and Calista frowned slightly.

"I want you to include the Neon recipe in your upcoming auction."

Corey said with a smile.
