Chapter 391 Repairing Allen Through An Upgrade

"I need to leave right now due to a situation. Inform Prince Feng that he can send one of the subordinates to our store's branch located at Lunaris city to collect the items on the date we decided."

Mark informed a guard to pass the message to their leader before he gathered Lan Ju and Jinlong (the gold dragon) and teleported away from the village.

Grabbing two of them, Lan Ju took a few continuous teleportations to reach the0 Imperial City's valley street.

Staring at the large mansion from a distance, he said, "Knock out everyone who tries to stop me."

The zheng and the gold dragon nodded in unison and followed him from behind as he walked forward.

The two gatekeepers of Lin Wuying's mansion obviously stopped him at the entrance

"Halt right there. Who are you?" One of the guards who didn't recognize Mark spoke out loud while pointing the spear at him.

Mark glanced to the side. Lan Ju disappeared and reappeared behind the guard, giving a chop at his neck at controlled strength and knocking him out.

Jinlong, the gold dragon wanted to do the same but Lan Ju didn't give him the opportunity and knocked out the second one too.

Mark continued to walk forward and stepped inside the compound.

As a few other guards who were roaming around discovered them, Lan Ju flexed his fingers and commented, "I guess it is better to just knock everyone out to save time."

Mark didn't say anything and stayed silent but the gold dragon had different thoughts. Using his intellect, he made his move without bothering to ask Mark's permission.

Transforming into a 20ft gold dragon, he released his aura but made sure to control the range so that only the Spirit Warriors inside the mansion get affected by the presence of a supreme realm beast.

Lan Ju and Mark halted their footsteps in surprise and turned their heads. The gold dragon took a glance at them from the corner of his eyes and said, "I believe no one is foolish enough to fight once they realize that they don't stand a chance against their enemies."

Mark answered calmly, "except that these guys aren't our enemies. They could be considered allies."

"Ah!" The gold dragon realized that he fucked up by misunderstanding the situation. He bowed his head and apologized for his reckless move.

But, it appeared that Mark wasn't against his move. He ordered the gold dragon to continue to stay in that form and put pressure on the Lin Clan.

As a result, Lin Wuying and the Black Knight were forced to come out of the house in a hurry. The moment he saw Mark, his legs already started to shiver. Even Song Yun was in the same condition, although he appeared to be uncomfortable with the presence of the gold dragon.

But, in the end, Lin Wuying is still a minister who dealt with the emperor and the imperial guests for a long time.

He managed to stay calm even in the presence of a powerful dragon and gracefully welcomed Mark and the other two. "Welcome to our residence, Owner Lu. How was your trip?"

Mark replied in a straight tone, "We'll have a nice talk in the future but for now, I'm busy with other matters. I'm here to take Allen, my younger brother back with me."

"Ah, that's…" Sweat beads started forming on Lin Wuying's forehead as he became nervous once again. He wiped off the sweat with his handkerchief and said, "There's something I need to tell."

Mark raised his hand, "I know the condition of Allen, Lord Lin. So, don't bother for now. If you want to answer, just tell me how he ended up in this place."

Lin Wuying thought that Song Yue probably had updated the news and seeing that Mark wasn't too angry, he felt a bit relieved and told him the truth that he knows, "My daughter brought him from the Bloodhill forest. They were attacked by a…"

Mark raised his hand once again and interrupted him, "I will hear the story directly from the witness. So, can you now hand over Allen? Or should I take him in my own ways?"

Mark didn't tell him what was his own way but Lin Wuying understood it perfectly. The minister glanced at the gold dragon and gulped his saliva before he nodded like a hen, "Yes, of course, we'll happily cooperate with you."

After a while;

"The Necromancer King, huh?" Mark mumbled coldly as he tightened his grip on the hexagonal-prism-shaped object in his hand. "He is coming after the Emperor's head? Good… It will save me a lot of trouble to search for him."

After collecting the glowing ring, Alina's core, and Allen's unconscious body, Mark bade farewell to Lin Xue and returned to the store with his fiancée.

As for Lin Xue, she felt a lot relieved after seeing Mark, knowing that Allen would return to life.

Adding on top of that, nothing happened as Song Yue earlier warned her. After listening to the entire story, Mark even thanked her for the help instead of unnecessarily blaming her for this incident.

It made her feel a little bit regretful for speaking such harsh words to her best friend, regarding Mark. She didn't change her view about Mark but still, she felt like she hurt Song Yue with her words. She decided to apologize to her the following day.

And lastly, Lin Wuying was just happy with the fact that Mark didn't show his aggression against his family. It is enough for him.

Upon returning to the store, Mark heard that the third prince returned to the palace because of the long wait. And Xie Mei took this opportunity to take a room for herself and was currently taking a nap.

Mark didn't wake her up and just went to his room with Allen's body. He didn't forget to tell Song Yue and others to take a rest in the meantime.

Laying the android on the floor, Mark closed the door and sat down before the body. He talked to the system. "System, to repair Allen, how much do you need?"

The system was always quick to reply.

*Ding! 100,000 credits

As Mark was about to agree to pay the amount without even trying to negotiate, the system decided to not take advantage of the situation and sent him the second notification, something that helps its host.

*Ding! The host can choose to upgrade Allen Spencer with the upgrade crystal and repair him without paying credits.

"Oh, I can do that?" Mark was surprised a bit and then opened his inventory right away.

Since he planned on giving it to this android in the first place, Mark didn't hesitate to click on the image of a crystal. This one was rainbow in color as opposed to yellow.

Upgrade Crystal (Superior)

Grade: N/A

Description: A crystal made from the core of Divine Dragon, Velkazar.

"Velkazar?" Mark remembered the statue of Velkazar which gives him free gifts every couple of weeks. "Let's think about it later, Mark. Focus on the present." He shook away those thoughts and grabbed the glowing rainbow crystal that appeared in his hands.

Soon, he touched Allen's forehead with this crystal.

As the crystal disappeared into his forehead, the system sent him the notification.

*Ding! The Android goes into standby. Estimated time: 71 hours, 56 minutes, 32 seconds.

"Okay, so, three days, huh? Not a big deal. I can wait. Now, it is Alina's turn."

Mark then looked at the hexagonal prism core that was placed in one of the inventory slots and contacted the system once again, "System, what is the price I have to pay to bring back Alina?"

*Ding!
