Chapter 393: Fortune's Favor
Chapter 393: Fortune's Favor
"Cough—"
"Damn it, what the hell is going on in this place?"
At the very bottom of the central tower in the Yuanpu Arboretum, Kuai Te slowly crawls out from behind a slanted tree root.
In a moment of crisis, Lindsey had used an ice pick to secure himself to the wall of the sewer, so even though the arboretum shook violently, he wasn't thrown down. Instead, he was flung onto a massive tree branch far away.
But Kuai Te's situation was completely different.
As Yuramanthor collapsed, he lowered his center of gravity, trying to grab onto the corpse of the plant to stabilize himself.
The result was—
Along with Yuramanthor's decaying body and the arboretum's transformation.
The merchant's hands were empty, with nowhere to borrow strength, and he fell straight down from the heights.
If not for his timely use of a technique to purchase a fall cushion,
He would have likely become a human stain on the ground by now!
Kuai Te crawled up from the ground, feeling extremely uneasy.
The powerful forces of the eighth phase surged around him like a flood, and he immediately looked up:
"It's right... there!"
The merchant's gaze fixed, and a smile appeared on his face:
"That's right, it's here!"
"I've turned misfortune into fortune!"
Although he didn't know where Lindsey and Kaghi had been thrown,
From Kuai Te's current position,
He could quickly reach the center of the tower by going straight up.
Undoubtedly, he was the most geographically advantageous existence in the entire arboretum at the moment!
"Good!"
"Indeed, luck is on my side!"
Kuai Te clenched his fists.
The trees supporting this tower also had a spiral path winding around them.
The enclosed environment of the previous arboretum interior was no more.
Without a second thought, the merchant purchased stamina and called forth a horse from his merchant space. He leaped onto it and rode it straight up the spiral path into the sky.
"With the core of the forest's lifeline, the Riverbank Merchant Guild will surely return to Platinum City."
"We'll get back everything we've lost!"
"Even the United Guild won't be able to push us down again this time!"
Kuai Te sat on the horse.
Using his technique to clear the path, the fierce wind at high altitude roared past his ears, and the essence power spreading throughout the arboretum rushed towards him.
The merchant's heart was pounding.
He felt like he had returned to the time when he first embarked on the merchant path, full of vigor and ambition.
Just a few minutes later, Kuai Te had already arrived at the central platform of the tower.
He saw the closed wooden door, his eyes fixed on the scene before him.
Even as he jumped down from the horse, his attention was captured by the sight before him.
"This is it."
"Finally, I've finally..."
"Kuai Te, you've come at the right time."
Suddenly, a voice sounded from the side.
Hearing this voice, Kuai Te's pupils constricted, and his heart chilled.
Just this one calm greeting was enough for the merchant to recognize the identity of the speaker.
"Lord Muen..."
Kuai Te spoke slowly.
As expected, Muelleran Hauen was sitting in a corner of the platform, his magnificent robes tattered but his aura extremely dignified. A single glance from him was enough to subdue Kuai Te.
Kuai Te's throat felt as if it were plugged with a cork, unable to utter a word.
Muelleran Hauen spoke calmly:
"Clothes."
Kuai Te felt as if someone had taken away his control over his body.
No!
To be precise, his body was no longer under his command.
Upon seeing Muelleran Hauen, the Organizer's technique seized the sixth-phase merchant, and this power was directed solely at Kuai Te!
At this moment, Kuai Te had no sense of self, except for his soul.
Even if he wanted to blink, he would have to consciously think about it!
Kuai Te was unable to react in any way.
His hands, like a machine, took out a set of luxurious velvet coats from the merchant space and knelt, presenting them to Muelleran Hauen.
"Help me put it on."
Mullernahun calmly issued the command, as if directing his own servant.
As the merchant obediently helped him put on the clothes, the Organizer turned his gaze back to the wooden door before him:
"Fate favors me."
The Organizer turned to the merchant:
"Kuai Te, I'm glad you're here."
"The Lifeline Core across the door is the key to healing my injuries. After this matter is settled, I will support the comprehensive development of your guild in Nine Bays City, no! I will support your guild's development throughout the Forest Courtyard World!"
"Now, hand over your power."
"..."
No!
Absolutely not!
Kuai Te's heart screamed in protest.
The Riverbank Merchant Guild's purpose was not to pledge allegiance to an Organizer and then develop the guild on the border of the world.
They wanted to return to the center of the world's commerce, Platinum City, and reclaim their seat on the financial street!
"The Forest Lifeline was discovered by us!"
"The fate of the Riverbank Merchant Guild should not end here."
"You can't do this!"
"My Lord, I beg you..."
No matter how Kuai Te's heart struggled, in reality, his actions were completely out of his control. His right hand, under the Organizer's command, had already reached into the Merchant Space.
The next second—
Two dazzlingly golden Twin Serpent Coins of great value, along with various other valuables, were taken out by him.
It was like handing over the noose to his executioner.
Kuai Te was powerless to resist, and he converted all his wealth into a value concept to support the Organizer's power.
"Huff—"
"Not bad, but it'll do."
Mullernahun exhaled.
Kuai Te's power was like a drop in the bucket to the Organizer, who was at Phase Seven.
But now, in addition to suppressing the injuries brought by the Law Enforcement Knight, he finally had the spare energy to unleash his technique and break through the wooden door before him!
"Open it for me."
Bang, bang, bang—!
Thud, thud, thud—!!!
The Organizer issued his command, and the air around him seemed to submit to his feet.
The seemingly ordinary wooden door began to tremble violently, shaking with each impact against the frame.
But after a few seconds, the door showed no signs of opening.
Instead, it gradually returned to calm.
It completely negated Mullernahun's Dominance Power! Mullernahun's expression was not one of anger but of joy:
"Good! As expected of the power of Phase Eight."
"Even in an unconscious state, it can resist my control."
The Organizer was certain of one thing—
The stronger the power of the Arboretum, the stronger the Lifeline Core, and the greater his harvest. At this moment, this majestic plant was fully activated, and Mullernahun could sense its essence more clearly.
The Arboretum had merged with the Forest Courtyard World.
Once he devoured its core, the ownership of the entire world would be in his hands.
The extraction of the Lifeline Core would weaken the entire world.
But with the practice of ruling the world through his technique, he would undoubtedly succeed in stepping into the gates of Phase Eight!
"Hehe."
"Dawn has arrived, and the sun will rise."
"Now, it's just a matter of waiting."
Mullernahun retracted his power with satisfaction.
Using the power he extracted from the merchant as a foundation, he accelerated his recovery.
He felt his Stamina and Essence replenishing.
A victorious smile appeared on Mullernahun's face, and only then did he turn to look at Kuai Te, who was behind him with a desperate expression:
"Originally, it might have taken me three days."
"But with your support, it will take no more than half a day to break through it!"
"Kuai Te, stay here with me. Tell me what happened below."
