The Lycan King's Fate Calling novel Chapter 750

Sylvia's POV:

Although I could feel Blair's shocked eyes gawking at me, I ignored him deliberately and walked up to the old man. I slung the bag onto the table and said, "I need you to do something for me. This is the reward."

Murray scoffed at me disdainfully and then opened the bag. I watched as his eyes widened in stunned disbelief when he saw all the jewelry inside. His mouth was agape, like a man stranded on a deserted island, who hadn't seen another person in years, suddenly saw a ship full of people to rescue him. "So many invaluable treasures..."

I secretly let out a sigh of relief when I saw his reaction. Fortunately, I had brought some small gifts from Rufus with me before going out, in case of an emergency.

However, even though the reward was bountiful, I was still very nervous because Murray had made it clear that he despised anyone who carried the bloodline of the black witch.

I took a deep breath to strengthen my resolve before I looked at Murray again. However, to my surprise, he put the reward away safely, coughing with embarrassment, and said, "But since you're just a hybrid, I'm willing to make an exception. It couldn't hurt to just have a talk, right?"

I was rendered speechless.

I found the old man quite amusing. Luckily for me, the old man had a penchant for wealth. It saved me the trouble of having to persuade him.

I looked back at Blair, gesturing at him with my eyes to give us a moment as I wanted to speak with the old man alone.

Murray was quite helpful as he waved his hand at Blair, driving him away.

Blair wanted to stay and listen in on our conversation, but Murray ordered his dog to stand guard at the door.
