Chapter 601: His Whereabouts Are Exposed!

“Mr. Joelson?”

Elena was pleasantly surprised.

The two guys who were in the way left, and Joelson appeared in front of Elena with his walking stick.

“Sorry, I was a little delayed when I helped the old lady cross the road.”

Joelson’s face was neither red nor did his heart rate skip when he lied.

“Is that so? No wonder you were gone for so long, Mr. Joelson!”

“As expected, Mr. Joelson is very kind. His legs and feet are inconvenient, yet he still helped an old lady cross the road!”

Elina’s eyes were full of stars. She excitedly held onto Joelson’s hand.

As expected, girls who were in love did not have any logic.

Elina did not realize that Joelson was lying at all. She directly supported Joelson and walked in the direction of the hotel.

“What a pity. A resplendent gem can actually be auctioned for such a high price.”

Elena, who was supporting Joelson, sighed in disappointment.

“Why? What was the final price of the resplendent gem? You haven’t told me yet.”

Joelson smiled faintly and said.

“Originally, the people in VIP Room 1 had already bid a high price. Later, a person from VIP Room 5 suddenly appeared. This person hid it too deeply. Guess how much he bid?”

Elena seemed to be still immersed in the excitement of the previous auction.

“I don’t know.”

Joelson suppressed the desire in his heart to tell Elena the truth.

For some reason, teasing this young girl in front of him, who knew nothing at all, made Joelson feel rather happy.

“A full demigod artifact!”

“This is simply too extravagant!”

“The level of a demigod isn’t something a deity like us can imagine, much less a weapon of that level!”

Elena said excitedly.

As the two spoke, they slowly walked towards the inn.

Right at this moment, an assassin hidden within the crowd suddenly discovered the limping Joelson.

There was a slight burn mark on the leg of Joelson’s pants.

Was it this person?

The assassin frowned.

If it was before, this assassin would have rushed forward without hesitation.

But this guy in front of him was a disabled person.

The walking stick in his hand didn’t seem like a high-end item.

How could such an existence be able to bid for the resplendent gem?

The assassin didn’t believe it.

It wasn’t that he didn’t want to kill the innocent, but if he acted rashly and got the wrong target, he would probably let the person who obtained the resplendent gem know.

If the other party was on guard, the difficulty of attacking the other party would increase by several levels.

At this moment, the assassin suddenly raised his brows.

He recalled that their family’s young master, Bolen Elizabeth, had once said that the wooden box containing the resplendent gemstones was one of the products of their businesses.

It seemed that young master Bolen had already spent a large sum of money to bribe a mole within the Kardas family, requesting them to install this special small box on the resplendent gemstones.

Rubber wood!

The assassin slowly became infatuated with his eyes. After long periods of arduous training by the Elizabeth family, he had obtained five senses that surpassed that of an ordinary person.

His sense of smell was extremely sensitive, and he was actually using his nose to probe across the entire street.

After a full half a minute, the assassin suddenly opened his eyes.

“It really is him!”

The assassin’s expression gradually turned cold. Now that he had found the target the young master was looking for, he naturally had to get ready to take action.

The assassin slowly took out a short-distance communication magic tool and said in a low voice.

“I have found the target.”

“I repeat, I have found the target.”

“The opponent is on Seahorse Street, walking towards Elk Alley.”

The short-distance communication magic tool in his hand immediately replied when he heard the assassin’s voice.

“Understood. All the family assassins have been sent to Elk Alley. Please wait patiently.”

The assassin put the magic tool back into his pocket and followed Joelson closely!

At this moment, everything that the assassin did was already seen by Joelson’s magic power.

Seeing that the other party had already discovered him, Joelson sighed helplessly in his heart.

Originally, he had thought of meeting up with Elena and solving these troublesome matters after returning to the hotel.

Now that he had already been discovered by the other party, there was no need to continue hiding.

Joelson’s original goal in heading to the underground city was to obtain the resplendent gem. Now that he had obtained the item, he did not have any worries even if he revealed his identity.

Even if he were to hide in the underground city, an existence with a strength similar to his would definitely not be able to do anything to Joelson.

At this moment, Joelson spoke, intentionally or unintentionally.

“Elena, I don’t think I’ve ever asked you why you’re looking for the resplendent gem.”

“Do you want to head to Lorna?”

Elena couldn’t help but be stunned when she heard what Joelson said, then she shook her head.

“There’s no such thing. I just want to prove myself to my grandfather.”

Elena revealed a bitter smile.

“So, you’re only looking for the resplendent gem to prove yourself?”

Joelson was a little surprised.

“But you have more choices, don’t you?”

“An adventure, a weapon, and even some rare natural treasures. You can be a target.”

“Why did you choose the resplendent gem?”

Elena snorted and said, “No. When I was young, my grandfather always told me myths about the resplendent gem and the death god artifact.”

“Because of these, I insisted on finding the resplendent gems. My grandfather also had a big headache because of this.”

Joelson chuckled and said, “I didn’t expect you to have a rebellious side, Elena. I thought you would always be like a good child.”

“No way…”

“I’ve always been very obedient, okay…”

Hearing what Joelson said, Elena’s fair little face gradually became ruddy.

At this moment, Joelson stopped walking.

Elena thought it was her own problem.

“What’s wrong, Mr. Joelson? Are your legs uncomfortable?”

Joelson didn’t answer and slowly looked behind him.

They had entered Elk Alley and were surrounded by two-story buildings. At this moment, there was no one around them even though it was the most crowded time in the outer city of the underground city.

“Since the hidden rats can’t wait any longer, why haven’t they shown themselves?”

Joelson’s voice slowly came out of his mouth.

His voice was loud and powerful. It didn’t sound like the words of a person with a walking stick.
