BXBX NOVEL Chapter 460 - 'Stealing The Potions'
Chapter 460 - "Stealing The Potions"
Even before he witnessed the slave’s reaction over the potion, Raphael could already see that the potion had changed colour into black.
There’s even this sizzling noise coming from the bottle...
Isn’t the potion a bit strange?
"Wait."
Before the slave’s lips touched the potion bottle, Raphael already snatched the bottle in a heartbeat and brought the bottle in front of his eyes.
"...this..." the young man squinted. He silently used one of his special abilities...
Item appraisal!
The moment he used his ability, a row of data appeared above the potion bottle.
[Contaminated pseudo-awakening potion.]
A drop of pseudo-awakening potion made by an elf, but it’s mixed with a corrosive material, ruining the potion and turning it into a lethal poison.
Raphael held his breath. The 18-year-old young man clenched his fists as he put down the potion bottle on the table.
’A contaminated potion...the potion is real, but it’s already contaminated!’
Raphael brushed his hair as he laughed while lifting his head.
"Ha...a corrupted sample. This can’t be a coincidence."
Raphael was no idiot. The moment he knew the truth, he realised that he played right into a certain someone’s hand!
"Ainsley..." Raphael murmured Ainsley’s name with a voice full of hostility yet a tinge of admiration.
The young man shook his head as he looked at the window near the table.
’So...you purposely let us rob your potion sample to harm us, huh? The potion is already a poison...no wonder you send Vallan out.’
Now Raphael could guess why Vallan flew out of the mansion.
It must be to deliver the real potion sample to the alchemist guild!
Alas, it’s too late to do anything. By now, the alchemist guild would have tested the potion’s effect...
’The effects are real, though. My ability said so.’
Raphael’s eyes shone in a slightly reddish light as he looked at the black potion bottle lying on the table.
His silver hair shone under the moonlight, highlighting his sharp face. However, the look in his eyes wasn’t as beautiful as his face and hair.
’Since the potions are real...’
Raphael tapped the table with his fingers as he dismissed the slave with a wave of his left hand.
’Maybe we should try to snatch it before they hold the illegal auction?’
Raphael knew that it’s only a matter of time that Ainsley got the alchemist guild’s recognition and held her auction despite not being granted a license.
If the potions were proven to be real, many forces would risk buying the potion...even when the auction might not be safe.
At that time, could the Aretha Family participate? Maybe not.
Raphael tilted his head as he looked outside of the window. He was considering who to send to steal the potions but suddenly paused.
’That baby isn’t an idiot. She won’t leave such precious potions to anyone else. She must be carrying the potions all the time with her...’
If that’s the case, even the best fighter that he had wouldn’t necessarily succeed. After all, he suspected the baby’s special ability to be a luck manipulation.
"...should I check her out myself?" Raphael whispered to himself as he turned around abruptly.
It was late at night, and the Aretha Family members were sleeping soundlessly. Only the young man was still awake, taking care of the family’s business alongside his dad.
Ah, no, the father was already asleep...
Taking a brief look at the mountain of documents behind him, Raphel rubbed his chin before sighing.
"I’ll need a teleporter..."
A wealthy family like the Aretha Family would have at least one person with a teleportation ability or a mini teleportal.
Thus, Raphael immediately searched for the person in charge of long-distance travel and in no time, he headed to the Sloan Family’s mansion.
He’s going to try stealing the potion on his own!
11 p.m
Ainsley was already fast asleep. Cellino was also asleep. Zev and the Godfather weren’t an exception either. They’re all sleeping...
Only the guards outside were still awake. However, could they stop a young prodigy like Raphael to sneak into the mansion without anyone knowing?
No, they couldn’t. After all, the young man had his second special ability...
It was the darkness manipulation.
At night, he’s the king. He could come and leave without anyone noticing...and everything was his ally. From the dark alley, the dark sky, the shadows...
Everything was under his control!
No wonder it’s not hard for him to sneak into Ainsley’s bedroom without alerting anyone. As for how he got to know Ainsley’s bedroom...the shadow told him.
Yeah, the shadow could even become his informant or fighter.
The title of ’The Dark Silver Prince’ suited him well. No wonder people used to call him by that title.
Using his darkness manipulation ability, he concealed himself in the dark and managed to enter Ainsley’s bedroom.
He didn’t even open the bedroom door and could just bypass it as long as there’s darkness inside the bedroom.
That’s similar to teleportation, but with a shorter range!
Once the young man was inside the room, he carefully looked around while still concealing himself in the shadow.
[Shadow. Can you detect any dead spirits around here?]
The young man asked his own shadow, which was formed by the moonlight shining through the window behind him.
The shadow extended his darkness control range over the dark room before nodding.
[I can sense a powerful dead spirit above the bed, but I can’t see it.]
Raphael didn’t need to see the spirit to know which kind of spirit that his shadow just detected using its ’negative wavelength’ that could detect spirits.
That spirit...must be the Godfather!
Raphael couldn’t help but hold his breath.
This will be tricky....
