The First Legendary Beast Master novel Chapter 2059

Chapter 2059: One Stable Morning

For most of the morning, the Darklight Host was actually running smoothly.

But only for half.

Because just after lunch, a Blue Elven convoy arrived at the docks, and were ushered into the Guild House by the guards to wait for Karl, so they could complete their deal.

The request was the same as the last ones, a shipment of cargo, and a secret hold space.

That was not the problem.

The issue was that there were still hundreds of Clan Leaders in town hanging around waiting for the perfect item to come across the store shelves, or for custom orders to be finished. And they all paid attention to who got to enter the back room and speak with the Guild Leader.

Today, it wasn’t Karl who entered with the Elves, but Rue.

She was the one who needed to do the space modification anyhow, and Karl was busy with some Peerless Grade custom orders that Tian had finished making that morning, so she decided to do the negotiation.

Not that it was difficult. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

The Elves had an agreed pricing scheme with Karl, giving wholesale prices on everything that came from the sea without additional haggling. So, all she had to do was get the calculation, and then finish the transaction.

Easy.

Then, when they came back out and headed straight for the docks, both Rue and the Captain noticed that they were being followed.

And in Rue’s mind, being followed meant being attacked.

So, both were on high guard, and the entire fighting force of the trade fleet was waiting at the docks, in case there was a robbery attempt. Naturally, that made everyone else think that there was something going on, as they were just following them to see what was sold, and a panic began to spread through the town.

Within thirty minutes, everyone was on edge, speculating about who was brave enough to openly plan an attack on the Darklight Host, and nobody was leaving the building that they were in so that they weren’t mistaken for the attackers.

When Karl went to restock, and found the store full of nervous people just lingering, he wasn’t sure what to make of it.

"Did I miss an announcement? I would think that I know what is coming up on the shelves," he joked as he made a show of doing the restocking.

"It’s not that," a Rogue class Immortal explained.

"There is a rumour going around that someone tried to lay an ambush for the Lady Rue and a Blue Elven Captain. Everyone is waiting for the fight to break out, and we don’t want to go anywhere."

Karl sent Rue a message, and she sent him an update.

That was when he realized what had happened, while Rue still tracked no fewer than twenty Peak Immortals in the vicinity of the docks.
