"Middle-aged man?"

Lucas, standing next to the Marquis of the River, frowned:

"According to reports, His Highness Matthew will go to Hetan Town during this period. Has he already arrived?"

"Whether it's Matthew or not," Marquis River clapped his hands, getting everyone's attention to focus:

"We'd better go out to greet you, Ms. Elizabeth, what do you think?"

The Marquis of River looked behind him at a female magician wearing an ice-blue magic robe.

This female magician is a low-level sky-level powerhouse sent by Alexander Lane to negotiate with Sean, and she has been following them.

The female mage glanced at the Marquis of River with a cold look, said nothing, and just nodded.

"Okay then! Let's set off now!" Marquis River announced.

.......

Five minutes later, Sean saw the Marquis of the River team approaching.

Unlike Sean who works alone, the Marquis of Rivers brings many subordinates.

Lucas was flying in mid-air with a female magician wearing ice-blue magic robes.

On the ground, Marquis of River and Jessica led a large number of guards, including many silver and gold level practitioners.

It's just that the atmosphere on the opposing team was very solemn, and everyone had a straight face, as if they were facing a formidable enemy.

…

In order to help them relieve the solemn atmosphere, Sean waved enthusiastically to the Marquis of the River from a long distance away:

"Lord Marquis, long time no see!"

The Marquis of Rivers did not expect Sean to be so enthusiastic and was slightly startled.

Sean continued to say enthusiastically: "You must have brought a lot of gold coins this time, right? I won't let you go if there are less gold coins!"

Marquis of the River: "..."

Elizabeth, the female mage in the sky, couldn't help it anymore and flew straight towards Sean.

Soon, she flew directly above Sean and was stopped by Matthew.

Realizing that Matthew was actually a mid-level sky-level warrior, the female mage hurriedly took two steps back, and then looked at Sean with a cold expression:

"Are you Sean Violet, Lord of Riverbeach?"

Sean looked at the female mage carefully.

The female mage appears to be in her thirties. She is very beautiful and has blue pupils that glow like frost. She is obviously a water magician.

This made Sean have a good impression of her, because there were too few water mages.

"Yes, I am Sean. Who are you?"

"My name is Elizabeth Lane, the biological daughter of Alexander Lane." The female mage introduced herself.

It was "Ryan" again, Sean was surprised, and the good impression disappeared instantly.

It seems that the Lane father and daughter are the root cause of this rebellion.

And Alexander Lane is obviously not human anymore. If they win in the end, the female mage in front of them may become the queen of the principality!

Sean was lost in thought.

…

Seeing that Sean didn't speak, the female mage continued: "The reason why I came here is to redeem Jamie Finger. Tell me, Sean, what do you want?"

"I want you……"

Female mage: "???"

Sean: “The gold coins of….

"Matthew, in your Kingdom of Anjou, how much ransom can you get for a high-ranking prisoner on the Sky Level?"

Matthew replied without any hesitation:

"According to the general price, the ransom for a sky-level powerhouse is more than 10,000 gold coins. The strength of an upper-level sky-level powerhouse is equivalent to three ordinary sky-level powerhouses, so it can be exchanged for a ransom of 30,000 gold coins."

"So few?" Sean was startled.

Originally, Sean expected to sell Jimmy Finger for 100,000 gold coins, but it seemed that he was not worth much.

"It's already quite a lot." Matthew coughed twice.

Sean thought for a while, then looked at the female mage in the sky:

"The per capita gold output of our Principality of Lane is several times higher than that of the Kingdom of Anjou, and there are no more than three powerful people above the Sky Level. Is it not too much to double the price and charge you 60,000 gold coins?"

"How can that be done?! The market price is 30,000 gold..." the female mage said angrily.

Sean immediately interrupted her: "The price is 60,000 gold coins. I don't want to bargain! You'd better decide now, otherwise he will become ours inexplicably after a while."

The female mage thought of the sky-level orange cat that was "abducted" by Sean. She couldn't help but glared at Sean hatefully and gritted her teeth:

"Okay, 60,000 is 60,000. Anyway, these gold coins were all snatched from your family's warehouse."

Sean: "..."

Why do you feel like you have lost money?

"How do we deal?" The female mage's eyes wanted to tear Sean into pieces.

"We can sign a contract first, and I will release him immediately after the 60,000 gold coins arrive in Hetan Town."

Sean reached out from his backpack and took out the contract template that had been drawn up.

"There is no need for the contract. The gold coins will arrive in Hetan Town within a week. I hope you will keep your word!"

The female mage glared at Sean again, then left the Marquis of River and others and flew away to the north.

Sean had no choice but to put the contract back into his bag.

...

While Sean was bargaining with the female mage, Marquis River was also looking at Sean with complicated eyes.

More than a month ago, that is, on April 6, Sean was seriously injured and was sent to Jon City by a mysterious man. It was he who invited Bishop Benjamin to treat Sean's injuries.

Sean had nothing at the time.

Today is June 1st. In less than two months, he has witnessed Sean's development from nothing to the power he has today. Their power has far surpassed that of his family!

The Marquis of Rivers didn't know what to say.

Marquis River was shocked when he saw the female mage suddenly fly away.

They originally agreed to negotiate with Sean together, but now we have only one sky-level powerhouse left on our side, and there are two on the other side. What else are we talking about?!

Marquis of River was about to say something, but Jessica behind him suddenly walked in front of him and said:

"Your Highness Sean, is Khadgar still...still alive?"

Sean didn't expect Jessica to ask this first, and was a little surprised: "Do you want him to die or live?"

Jessica: "..."

The Marquis of River stopped his daughter behind him, cleared his throat and said:

"Your Highness Sean, Your Highness Matthew, the military camp is not far ahead. We'd better talk when we get there."

Sean did not move, but slowly got off the back of the Blood Swamp Velociraptor and said:

"I think it's good here, let's talk here. And..."

Sean smiled at the Marquis of Rivers: "The lady just now paid twice the price! If the price you offered was less than twice the price, didn't the lady just now lose money? So you have to pay double the price!"

Marquis of the River: "..."

...

After the female mage left, negotiations between Sean and the Marquis of Rivers officially began.

Kate and Matthew had no intention of participating. They were only responsible for protecting Sean's safety.
