Chapter 293 A Big Short's Prisoner

• Leonard and Hector returned to Fairedge and went to the Wilson family's estate together. On their way back, Leonard frowned, feeling somewhat annoyed. Leonard didn't expect these alchemy families to be so arrogant. He thought his offer was generous, and he couldn't understand why the Coulter family rejected it. "Hector, are there other alchemy families besides the Coulter family?" Leonard asked. "Besides the Coulter family, there are the Gould family, the Hull family, and the Compton family." Hector listed several alchemy families. "How do these alchemy families compare to the Coulter family?" "The Compton family and the Hull family may not wield as much power as the Coulter family, but the Gould family is equally formidable. Since the two families are both in Osanna, there are often some frictions between them."
• "Hector, please give me some information about the Gould family," Leonard said. Hector agreed, and then he asked, "Mr. Santos, do you want to cooperate with the Gould family?" "Yes. Since the Coulter family is unwilling to accept my conditions, I need to find another family," Leonard nodded and said. 'It seems I need to make a trip to Osanna. Even if I don't cooperate with the Gould family, most of the other alchemy families are also located in the Osanna region,' Leonard thought to himself. Leonard returned to the Lucas Manor, closed the door, and took out the Python Spirit he had recently acquired. As soon as the Spirit was taken out, the Blood Emerald Pearl reacted eagerly, seemingly impatient.
• "This spirit contains the essence of the python. After refining it, my strength will undoubtedly increase exponentially," Leonard thought, preparing to ingest the Spirit. Leonard had a habit of immediately devouring any good things he acquired, for it was only by digesting their energy and making them his own that he could find a sense of relief. After all, there were instances where people were killed and their treasures were stolen before they had the chance to enjoy them. But before Leonard could act, the Spirit flew out of his palm as if it were being pulled by something, and then it was instantly engulfed by a red light. It was the glow emitted by the Blood Emerald Pearl. "Damn it." Leonard hurriedly reached out to grab the spirit, but was still too slow. In the blink of an eye, the spirit disappeared. After devouring the spirit, the originally crimson Blood Emerald Pearl became even more vibrant. Leonard's face turned sullen. He didn't expect that after finally obtaining a spirit, it would be swallowed by the Blood Emerald Pearl.
