Mystery: But the Witch's Path

Chapter 122 A Failed Deal

On the morning of April 30, 1347, Altair and Vivian woke up one after the other as if they were telepathically connected.

After their early morning kiss, the two struggled to get out of bed, rang the bell by the bedside, and waited.

After the maid brought in hot water and a change of clothes, she dressed, washed, and groomed the two of them.

After changing clothes for the last time, Altair and Vivian walked out of the bedroom together and went downstairs to the small dining room.

As soon as Altair arrived at the restaurant entrance, he saw people sitting at a table not far away, having a meal.

So she quickly stepped forward, smiling and greeting him, "Good morning, Uncle Rafe."

"Good morning, Altair. Good morning, Vivian," Uncle Rafe said with a smile as he put down his knife and fork upon seeing the two.

After greeting them, he gestured to the seats next to him and smiled at the two of them, saying, "Come sit near me."

As Altair and Vivian began to walk toward the spot designated by Uncle Rafe, servants quickly stepped forward and pulled out chairs for them.

After the two were seated, Uncle Rafe said to Vivian, "Vivian, come and try today's breakfast. I specifically instructed the kitchen last night to prepare it according to the Intis people's tastes."

"Okay, thank you, Uncle Rafe." After saying that, Vivian picked up her knife and fork and began to taste the food.

After only a few bites, Vivian smiled and said, "Uncle Rafe, today's breakfast is just to my liking."

"That's good," Uncle Rafe replied with a smile.

Looking at the two of them, Altair couldn't help but sigh, "Uncle Rafe, am I your granddaughter or Vivian?" Uncle Rafe laughed twice after hearing Altair's teasing and said, "Both of you. Both of you."

"And I haven't forgotten your favorite breakfast either; I've had the kitchen make it for you too."

As soon as Uncle Rafe finished speaking, Altair noticed that another servant was bringing over a brand new breakfast in the distance.

Upon seeing this breakfast, Altair stopped paying attention to the two people who were chatting and turned his gaze to the various exquisitely arranged breakfast items in front of him.

Altair randomly picked a piece and began to savor it slowly, like a bird pecking at food.

After a meal that lasted more than half an hour, everyone went to the reception room and chatted.

Seeing Altair's dazed expression, Uncle Rafe couldn't help but advise, "If it really doesn't work, let's give up."

"Judging from the vampires' attack on your house the night before last, their meaning is quite clear: they do not agree to the deal you proposed."

After listening to Uncle Rafe's advice, Altair shook his head expressionlessly and said, "I still want to give it a try."

"Although the extraordinary characteristics of the Pharmacist Path are not exactly a necessity for me."

"But this opportunity is so rare that I would feel really bad if I didn't make as much money as possible."

"Besides, haven't I increased the number of chips I can use for trading now?"

After Altair finished speaking, he added, "Moreover, I don't think my current actions are making things difficult for them, because this is something that can be done in a win-win way."

"I provide the technology, they provide the manpower, and we all make money together."

"I was just curious and wanted to collect a Vampire Moon Pathway with a Sequence 4 or higher extraordinary trait, that's all."

"Looks like I'm getting old. I can't understand the way young people think anymore." Uncle Rafe sighed and gave up trying to persuade him. He sat down and silently sipped his morning tea.

"How could that be, Uncle Rafe? If we calculate based on the average age of demigods, you're currently in your prime," Altair explained with a smile.

However, Altair's words did not gain the approval of Rafe's uncle.

Looking at the silent person before her, Altair couldn't help but tremble. Because at this moment, she dared not make any guarantees.

Altair thought that she could easily attract the attention of the vampire elites by simply pressuring them and offering them a lot of business concessions, so that they would invest in her and give her the extraordinary traits of "Moon Path, Sequence Three Summoning Master".

But who knew that the day before yesterday, on the afternoon of the 28th, after Altair had her butler Hahn mail the letter, her house was attacked by vampires that very night.

Although these vampires misjudged and underestimated the strength of her extraordinary members, resulting in not only failing to capture and rescue the original vampires, but also losing two new vampires.

But they actually stormed in, without any intention of negotiating at all.

If Vivian hadn't been home that night, they might have actually rescued the vampire prisoner.

Seeing the two of them, Vivian couldn't help but shake her head. Although she knew Altair's plan, she couldn't say it outright because Uncle Rafe was present. She could only pat Altair's back gently to comfort him.

May 1, 1347, Backlund, Queens, Sheffield Manor.

Altair watched the departing carriage, inwardly sighing, "It seems the extraordinary trait of 'Summoning Master' isn't so easy to obtain."

Back at the villa, Altair went to the sofa in the living room and nestled into Vivian's arms for comfort.

Vivian patted Altair's back gently as she comforted him, "If it really doesn't work out, then we'll just give up."

"Hmm~" Upon hearing this, Altair nodded slightly, and said with a wronged expression, "Actually, I am very clear about the importance of the Sequence Three Summoning Master extraordinary trait to vampires."

-

"But I just can't help wanting it."

"Alright, alright," Vivian said, comforting Altair. "Didn't those vampires just say that even they don't have enough Sequence 3 Extraordinary Traits to advance—let alone trade them?"

"If you really want to, we... um... we can hunt ourselves in the future."

"As for hunting routes, haven't we already been given those?"

"Let's wait another two years, until we both advance to Sequence Four, before making any plans."

After Altair nodded, he said to Vivian, "Aren't you curious about my strong desire for the extraordinary properties of Lunar Path Sequence Three?"

"No," Vivian replied softly. "You have your own plans and concerns. Tell me when you're ready."
