World of Beasts: I Can See Their Hidden Stats!

Chapter 97 - A Day Of Bountiful Harvest!

Chapter 97: A Day Of Bountiful Harvest!

Once Adrian had signed the contract, Locke carefully folded the contract and placed it into his pocket.

With that, in addition to the profits he had earned from selling the Beast Eggs, Locke’s net worth had surpassed 4 billion federal coins!

He was rich!

However, upon recalling the perverse requirements for upgrading his Battle Beasts, his excitement was reduced.

On the other hand, he had also gained a lot, so there was no reason for him to be depressed. He immediately regained his smile and asked, “Where is that tome I requested?”

“It’s… It’s on the fifth floor…” Adrian had yet to recover from his dazed state.

Locke grabbed Adrian by the collar again!

Then, Gale Wings appeared! With its help, the two of them quickly flew to the fifth floor!

Locke did not use any violent means to open the finely crafted door before him. After all, it would be too much to extort Adrian and smash up his property in a single day.

Thus, he gestured for Adrian to open the door.

“This door requires an eye scan to work. Carry me up…” Adrian helplessly sought the assistance of the “robber”.

However, he had to swallow his anger. Otherwise, Locke might have thrown him down from the fifth floor!

Upon entering the store room, Locke noticed that it contained was littered with treasures and various jewels.

‘The White family is no ordinary wealthy family!’

Upon noticing Adrian’s ashen face, he commented, “Don’t worry, I’ve already gotten the money I want. All I need now is the tome for the Beast Fusion skill…”

Although Locke was greedy, he had a bottom line. After all, he had already signed a contract. If he had requested for gold and jewelry now, he would be no different from an actual robber!

Adrian let out a sigh of relief upon hearing Locke’s words. He pointed to the far right and said, “There’s a secret door in the upper right corner of the wall. The tome is in there…”

Locke looked at the direction Adrian stated and trotted over. He then extended his hands to search the dark gray wall…

“Got it!” After finding a trigger, Locke pressed down on it!

“Rumble… Rumble…”

The wall began to move!

The wall was covered in dust, and it seemed that it had been a long time since anyone had activated the trigger.

Soon, a hidden room appeared in front of Locke!

The room was not big, and all it contained was a tome placed on top of a stone platform.

After picking it up, Locke noticed that the tome’s pages were created from Daemon leather!

Locke had heard of Daemon leather paper.

They were extremely hard to come by!

Not only were they waterproof, fireproof, dust-proof, and so on, the words written on those papers would not fade as well!

The passage of time was powerless before the leather paper!

The leather papers were not something that could be easily bought with money!

Moreover, even if Locke had disregarded the contents of the tome, he would still be able to fetch a sky-high price for it due to the material that was used!

It was at this moment that Locke realized that he had struck jackpot!

Adrian, who was lying on the ground, could already hear the sound of his heart breaking.

He had never thought that his desire to kill a kid from an ordinary family would bring such a huge disaster to his family!

Moreover, his family’s treasured tome that had been passed down from generation to generation had been taken away. This also meant that the White family had lost their biggest bargaining chip in the world.

However, on second thought, he felt that it was worth trading his and Alice’s life for the tome. After all, as long as he was still alive, he would be able to regain everything he lost…

Locke stashed the tome away in his dimensional inventory. Upon exiting the room, he put his hands behind his back and began to wander around store room.

Since most of the items were gold and jewelry, anything that was different had stood out like a sore thumb.

In regards to this, Locke had discovered something unique.

He grabbed Adrian and stopped in front of a shelf. He looked at a jar and asked, “What’s in there?”

“What’s in there? Is it very precious?”

More than half of the jar was filled with soil, and the object that the soil was supporting looked very much like an ordinary shred of grass.

It was a particularly noticeable object.

Adrian sighed, “This is the ‘Heart-saving Grass’, it’s one of the best life-saving medicines.”

“Its appearance is not much different from ordinary grass, so many people don’t recognize it. Don’t hurt it… This is a gift from a famous doctor to my family.”

Locke’s eyes rolled as he listened to Adrian’s explanation…

Adrian said, “Sigh… If you like it, then take it. This thing is very valuable. As long as you don’t come looking for trouble with me and my sister in the future…”

Locke nodded and said, “Okay! It’s a deal then! But if you still come looking for trouble with me, don’t blame me…”

After getting this promise, Adrian nodded repeatedly, indicating that he would never dare to provoke Locke again!

While hugging the jar, Locke whistled and left the castle.

His harvest was too great, and as such, Locke decided to bring his parents to the most upscale restaurant in the Holy City to celebrate!

However, after a few steps out of the castle, Locke noticed that the castle was surrounded by many vehicles.

Moreover, the vehicles were all luxury cars.

The people in the car seemed to have noticed Locke. In response, a middle-aged man with a mustache and neatly combed hair who was dressed in a high-class suit, immediately stepped out of one of the cars.

He stepped forward and bowed. “Hello, Mr. Locke. I’m the head butler of the Estelle family, L?w. The head of the family would like to invite you to join a banquet tonight…”

With that, the people in the cars all got out of the car and saluted Locke in unison.

Locke carefully sized up the people present.

The people were very polite, but this did not completely dispel Locke’s doubts.

He was not a big shot, and as such, he wondered why they were showing him this much respect.

He was on his guard!

After giving a smile, Locke continued to walk forward. When he passed by the butler named L?w, he told him, “Sorry, I’m not interested. Though I appreciate your master’s invitation.”

This was obviously not the answer L?w wanted. As such, he immediately went forward and blocked Locke’s path once again.

This time, L?w and the others bowed deeply,

“Mr. Locke! Please reconsider. The family head is sincere in befriending you. Moreover, he has prepared a welcome gift. Please honor my master’s request!”

Locke was initially enraged by the butler’s actions.

While he could not speak for the other cities, at the very least, no one in the Holy City could stop him!

However, once he heard that the other party had prepared a gift, he sighed and said, “Alright! But I’ll warn you beforehand, if the chef’s cooking is not to my liking, I will turn around and leave. Don’t blame me for showing you disrespect when that happens!”

“Yes! I can guarantee that our head chef is the best within the Holy City…” L?w was delighted at Locke’s response.

‘Sigh, today is truly a fruitful day!’ Locke sat in the limousine and unconsciously looked behind him.

He then noticed that another motorcade had drove into the White family’s castle…
