Chapter 239 Information sharing

Chapter 239 Information Sharing
Wright, who had been fixing the girl’s hair, looked up to meet Saul’s gaze and pulled a hard smile from his pale face.

He had already paid off the hundred credits he signed for Saul in full, but after that, he had been avoiding Saul intentionally or unintentionally, and had even spent a long time out on missions, not knowing what he was concerned about.

A few empty seats away, it was someone familiar to Saul again.

Kukin, the former administrator of the second warehouse. The other party had never taken the initiative to look for Saul after his first failed plot to trick Saul into bringing out the candles from the storehouse.

Presumably, he was frightened by the disappearance of his partner Ferguson.

At this time, the tall and tall Kukin sat over there, carefully withdrawing his prying eyes. But the overly strong body still made him conspicuous in the room.

There were many other familiar faces in the event room, except most Saul couldn’t name.

But there was no Senior Byron.

“It seems the Hokage is really turning his back on the Mutual Aid Society.”

He casually found a seat not far from the door.

Across an empty seat sat a skinny second level apprentice, the skin on his face and the backs of his hands glowing with a metallic sheen.

It was somewhat similar to Korrie’s current state, and should also be an apprentice who majored in metallic.

Shortly after Saul sat down, Jello, who had been acting in the doorway, staggered in after him.

Rokai and Kongsa also entered in turn.

It looks like Rokai couldn’t stop Konsa from entering in the end.

However, Kong Sha was also clear that she was not welcome and chose an empty slot where three consecutive seats on both sides were unoccupied to sit down.

However, the first one to come in, Jello, after looking around, walked over to Sol and sat down on his butt between him and the skinny apprentice with the metallic sheen, and crossed his legs.

The muscles of the apprentice on the other side of the table visibly tightened up, while Saul, who didn’t recognize this Jello, just half lowered his head and didn’t say anything.

Rokai, who came in last, closed the door with his hand back while saying, “It’s exactly nine o’clock, so it looks like the others had something to do and couldn’t make it over. But there are more than a dozen people in this exchange, and quite a few older siblings have just returned from a mission outside, so I think there can be quite a lot to gain.”

However, at this time, Luo Kai’s door, which was halfway closed, was suddenly pushed against by a hand.

He immediately raised a business-like smile, “Which senior is it? It’s really timely, if we come a moment later, the door will be closed.”

Rokai took half a step back, allowing the newcomer to be able to push the door in.

As the newcomer stepped into the activity room, however, Saul distinctly heard an audible gasp, and even Jello, who was sitting next to him, stopped shaking his leg and squinted at the door.

Saul turned his head to look over, and saw Heywood, who had blue and purple pupils and was wearing a wide cloak, slowly striding in.

“I’m quite lucky then.” Haywood’s eyes met Saul’s and nodded slightly.

However, he didn’t walk over to Saul’s side, but instead took a step to sit down near Kong Sha.

It wasn’t surprising that he was acquainted with Konza.

But what made Saul a little concerned was that although Haywood sat on Kongsa’s left hand side, he purposely separated an empty seat.

If it was someone else, they might think that this was just a normal social distance.

But Saul also remembered that when Kongsa stood, those eyeballs of hers always stared at her left.

It seemed like there was actually someone standing there.

Now, when Kongsa sat down, most of the eyeballs were also looking just to the left, as if that person was sitting in the empty seat to Kongsa’s left.

Although there were a few hiccups, the Mutual Aid Society’s high-level exchange meeting finally started on time.

Rokai closed the door, and the parchment scroll in the center of the venue automatically unfolded.

On it were drawn golden sorcery spells.

When Rokai recited the incantation, several golden streams of light immediately flowed from the spell formation to the walls around the room. After crisscrossing several times, they met at the main door, forming an independent space closed with sorcery.

This caused Sol, who was sitting at the door ready to leave at any time, to be a bit taken by surprise.

This kind of high-level exchange meeting was different from the ordinary exchange meetings he had been to before, and surprisingly, he could not leave early.

However, looking at the other people’s calm faces, Saul sat down with peace of mind and
“Alright, today is really full of surprises, so let’s start here. The first item of the exchange meeting is about the progress of your mentors’ experimental subjects and some of the apprentice personnel changes.” Rokai clapped his hands together and got to the point.

“First is my mentor, Mentor Anze. We’ve been busy lately as well. A new composite material has been discovered, and with any luck, you’ll be able to go out without worrying about food in the future. This composite material provides enough energy to last you a month with just a small bite.”

Sol didn’t realize that this Mutual Aid Society’s exchange meeting was actually an exchange meeting. And the exchange was still about information that was supposed to be very secretive like the subject of the mentor’s research.

But would Mentor Anze really research this kind of compressed food that was designed to replenish energy?
Sol secretly observed the crowd, and everyone’s expression was subdued.

There was neither the joy of obtaining information nor the dissatisfaction of hearing boring gossip.

Jero, who was closest to Saul, seemed to be tilting his head to observe him. But Saul did not meet the other party’s eyes.

He purposely ignored the senior who had come to his door and looked at Wright, who was diagonally across from him.

Wright was currently arranging the skirt of the little maid on his lap. The expression was unusually serious and without any sense of shame.

And Billy beside Wright was still staring at the ground with a gloomy face, seemingly not caring what Rokai in the center of the room was saying.

On the other side of the room, Kongsa’s eyes kept sinking. When Saul swept past, one of them immediately looked back.

“Kongsha seems to be a bit tense and nervous.” Sol nodded slightly at Kongsha and shifted his gaze.

While Haywood, who was separated from Kongsa by an empty seat, was smiling comfortably.

Instead of looking at Saul, he stared at Rokai with relish. It seemed that he was really interested in the news he said.

Taking in the reactions of the crowd, Saul also began to think about what valuable parts were hidden in these messages from Rokai.

“Mentor Anze seems to be making a composite material. But I don’t think his original intention of creating a composite material was to use it for food. So, the progress that Rokai is talking about is actually a failed experiment, right?”

Next Rokai spoke some other information, but it was mostly related to the apprentices.

Especially his Mutual Aid Association, which had news of new apprentices every time. Those gifted children just made their way into the sights of the high ranked apprentices.

It was unknown whether it was good or bad.

At this time, Rokai suddenly mentioned a name that Saul was familiar with.

“The …… last new apprentice with some potential is called …… George.” Luo Kai intentionally looked at Saul, “He’s a rare one-soul double-knowledge, although the newcomer doesn’t understand it, many of you here will be interested in him, right?”

As soon as Rokai’s words fell, the originally quiet event room suddenly dropped some discussion sounds.

It was just that the sound was indistinct and the source could not be found, and it seemed to be the effect of the spell formation that shielded the non-public speeches.

The whispered discussions were blurred out.

Luo Kai raised his hand, silencing the murmurs.

“If any of you are hitting on George, I suggest just giving up for now.” Rokai shrugged, “Someone has already put the word out to bail him out for at least a year.”

“Hmph!” The snort was quite obvious, as if someone was unhappy with the decision, raising their voice and making their attitude known publicly.

Before Luo Kai could say anything, Haywood but suddenly spoke out, “Do you have any grievances?”

As he spoke, he looked towards a third level apprentice and accurately found the source of the voice.

The apprentice who was stared at by Heywood immediately froze, and after a moment, understood what was going on and bowed his head to back off.

“No, I don’t have any grievances.”

Haywood smiled, “That’s good. George has a rare talent, I would like to observe him for a year before deciding whether to let him become a material, or the one who reigns over the material.”

He looked around the room, “Does anyone else have any objections?”

“Of course not.” Jero, who was beside Sol, suddenly picked up in a loud voice, “Who dares to offend our treasurer-in-chief?”

This sounded like a compliment to Haywood, but Saul always felt that Jerro was being sarcastic when he heard it.

He couldn’t help but look at Jero again, this guy dared to face Haywood head on, I’m afraid that his strength is one of the best among the third level apprentices.

Sorry, I went out today, so the second shift is late
