Chapter 488: "A Mysterious Treasure Island"

Only a royal elf could make that kind of potion...so there's a royal elf on the human continent? How could it be? The elves wouldn't let that happen!

The female elf was curious about the alchemist that created the potion.

Since the potions ended up in a human's hand...the elf must be working for the humans, right?

A royal elf working for the humans….is this a shady deal behind the elf's authority, or someone kidnap a royal elf?

No, no, that's impossible. There's no way a missing royal elf wouldn't trigger the elves to find them.

Still confused with the whole matter, the elf finally looked at Geraldine before whispering, "Can I meet the auction owner after the auction finished?"

Since the suspected royal elf made potions and the humans auctioned it, maybe the mystery will be solved after meeting whoever arranged the auction.

Who is it? A powerful grandpa? A mysterious woman? Someone from the Billios Family?

However, none of the big names came out of Geraldine's mouth. Since the elf, Geraldine and Jake came late, it's normal for the elf not knowing about the auction owner.

Geraldine opened his mouth and answer.

"Ah, you mean Ainsley Sloan?"

"Ainsley? The auction owner is a female?"

"Yeah."

"Who is she? I have never heard of her name...and the Sloan Family, huh. They're not anyone influential, right?"

"Right, but lately, they're a rising star. If you watch the news and Metube, you will know about it."

"I see, I see. Still, it's just a budding power...how could they get an elf's potions…"

"Maybe because of the family head, who is also the auction owner. She's a miracle...and she can do many impossible things!"

Geraldine couldn't help but praise Ainsley whenever he recalled the news and all the videos about the baby.

There's no baby as good as her and there's no young prodigy that would ever surpass her.

"Just so you know, Ainsley Sloan, the Sloan Family head and this auction's owner...she's still 3 years old."

When Geraldine disclosed the truth, the female elf was so shocked that she almost bit her tongue.

"What? She's still 3 years old? A toddler??" The elf was eloquent in the human language since she was used to interacting with humans all this time.

Thus, speaking to Geraldine and Jake wasn't an issue anymore.

"Are you sure the owner is only 3? How can she hold such a grand auction and sell such a high-class potion? These potions are not something one can easily acquire!"

The elf was in disbelief. She twirled her emerald hair between her fingers while looking at Geraldine with wide eyes.

"Is there an elf working for her?"

This must be the case. Else, which elf would want to trade with a 3-year-old toddler? Us elves aren't idiots!

Even when the toddler might be a super prodigy, it's impossible to trade with an unknown human who's also young to the boot.

She's too young!

Thus, the only logical answer to the mystery...must be because there's an elf working for that baby.

"Hmmm, I think so? I'm not that close to Ainsley Sloan. I just met her once."

Geraldine tried to cover up for Ainsley, knowing that Axelle had a complicated background. He could drag the Sloan Family into danger anytime.

"Jake is closer to Ainsley than me." The old man cleverly tossed the responsibility to Jake.

Jake was busy bidding for the first energy-line condensing potion just for fun when the sly old man tossed a hot potato to him.

The young man froze. He instantly looked at the female elf with sweat drenching his back.

"L-lady Sherleen, I-I am close to Ainsley, but I also don't know anything about an elf alchemist…"

It's the truth. Jake didn't know that the blue-skinned elf was actually an alchemist. He's not lying, right? He just realised it now...but he chose to keep silent.

Sherleen didn't see anything wrong with Jake's answers. She didn't know about the elf auction happening a few months ago at Jake's casino. Thus, the lady sighed and didn't pursue this conversation any longer.

"Okay, okay. Just arrange a meeting with the little owner. I'm curious where she gets the potions."

"If you successfully bid for the potions, you can meet her when you go to claim your goods, right?" Jake shrugged at Sherleen, not treating her too highly even when she's an elf.

That's just his nature and Sherleen didn't mind it.

"Hum. I have some items from the Elven continent. I'll bid for the second bottle."

The first bottle of energy-line condensing potion was already sold out. The winner was a young man from a wealthy family that bought the potion with a rare island.

The island he traded for the potion was well-known to be a mysterious land full of treasures.

It was near the sea and also not too far from the dwarf and beastmen kingdom.

One could get many lucky items and treasures from that small plot of land.

Ainsley accepted the land because the Godfather said he also once did a hunting treasure, and he could ensure that there were still tons of treasures hidden somewhere on that island.

Someone said that there's a wormhole or a space crack inside the island that sucked many items from other continents.

The island became a place where weird creatures and items gathered from all over the place.

Unfortunately, only lucky or strong people could benefit from the island.

The young man's family already sent many forces to dig and hunt treasures, only to lose more than what they gained.

If that's the case, why not give the useless mysterious island to the Sloan Family instead?

Let's see if they can benefit from the island!
