“Then get me two hundred level-one, five-star beast souls.” Mark Sutton pondered briefly and said.

Previously, Mark Sutton had devoured quite a few beast souls in the Youfeng Mountains, so he naturally knew that the higher the level of the beast soul, the better the effect after devouring it.

However, the price of these beast souls doubled with each increase in level, and since his martial soul was only at the third tier, level-one, five-star beast souls were sufficient for his use.

“What?”

The old man was stunned when he heard Mark Sutton’s words, and asked uncertainly, “You mean... you want to buy two hundred level-one, five-star beast souls?”

“That’s right, is there a problem?” Mark Sutton asked.

“A transaction of this size is beyond my authority. I need to inform the Pavilion Master. Please wait a moment, young master!”

After speaking, the old man hurriedly walked toward the backyard of the Zijin Pavilion.

Mark Sutton had no choice but to wait quietly.

Before long, the old man returned in a rush and said to Mark Sutton, “Young master, the Pavilion Master would like to see you.”

“Lead the way,” Mark Sutton said.

The backyard of the Zijin Pavilion was a small residence. Mark Sutton followed the old man into a side hall in the backyard.

As soon as he entered the side hall, Mark Sutton suddenly froze.

He saw a woman sitting in the hall—an extremely beautiful woman.

She was a young married woman of about twenty-seven or twenty-eight, with exquisite features, a charming face, and skin as fair as snow. She wore a tight red leather dress that perfectly outlined her voluptuous figure.

She was a mature, alluring, and stunning beauty!

She was none other than the Pavilion Master of the Zijin Pavilion—Helen Lowe.

Chapter 10 Helen Lowe

“Young Master Sutton, welcome to our Zijin Pavilion.”

Helen Lowe smiled sweetly, her entire being exuding an enticing aura, and even her voice carried a hint of seduction.

Mark Sutton quickly regained his composure, secretly cursing his lack of self-control for almost being captivated by her.

However, this woman was indeed a rare beauty. Even in his previous life, Mark Sutton had seldom seen a woman with such presence.

“Young Master Sutton, please have a seat!”

Helen Lowe raised her delicate brows slightly, looking at Mark Sutton with newfound respect.

She was very confident in her appearance. Which man outside, upon seeing her, wasn’t utterly entranced, wearing a foolish expression?

Yet this boy, only fourteen or fifteen years old, was merely stunned for a moment before recovering.

“Thank you, Pavilion Master.”

Mark Sutton sat down, feeling a bit puzzled. He hadn’t expected her to know who he was.

But then he thought, given his current ‘reputation’, it made sense, and Mark Sutton understood.

“Hehe! Young Master Sutton, there’s no need to be so formal. My surname is Luo, and I’m a few years older than you. You can call me Sister Lowe.”

A bewitching smile remained on Helen Lowe’s face.

Uh!

Mark Sutton was taken aback, then nodded.

Helen Lowe continued, “I heard Young Master Sutton wants to purchase two hundred level-one, five-star beast souls. However, we currently only have one hundred and fifty in stock. For the remaining fifty, would you be willing to substitute with beast souls of another level?”

“Then use level-one, four-star beast souls,” Mark Sutton said. He didn’t mind; although level-one, four-star beast souls were slightly less effective, quantity could make up for it.

“Alright.” Helen Lowe nodded, took out a gray cloth bag, and handed it to Mark Sutton.

“Here are one hundred and fifty level-one, five-star beast souls, and eighty-five level-one, four-star beast souls. The total is ten thousand taels of gold. Also, this storage pouch is a gift from me to Young Master Sutton.”

Mark Sutton was surprised; he hadn’t expected her to be so generous.

This storage pouch wasn’t cheap—the most basic one was worth at least seven or eight hundred taels of gold.

“Hehe! Then I’ll thank Sister Lowe!”

Mark Sutton didn’t stand on ceremony and accepted the storage pouch.

After buying the beast souls, Mark Sutton didn’t linger and took his leave.

“Miss, it’s said that this Young Master Sutton is just a useless person with a first-tier, first-grade martial soul. Why did you...?”

An old woman appeared silently in the hall, frowning as she asked.

“Granny Hughes, this Mark Sutton is not as simple as he appears. I can sense that his vitality is extremely strong, far surpassing martial artists of the same level.”

...

While Mark Sutton was purchasing beast souls at the Zijin Pavilion, a meeting was being held in the The Sutton Family council hall.

“Great Elder, since you called this meeting, what important matter do you wish to discuss?”

Henry Sutton sat at the head seat, glanced at the Great Elder, and asked.

“Patriarch, I heard from the finance hall that you withdrew ten thousand taels of gold from them today. May I ask what this money is for?”

The Great Elder, Eugene Sutton, was a man in his forties with a gloomy expression. As soon as the meeting began, he questioned the patriarch Henry Sutton.

As the Great Elder of the The Sutton Family, Eugene Sutton was second only to the patriarch in both strength and status within the family.

In the The Sutton Family, only the Great Elder dared to speak to Henry Sutton in this manner.

“This ten thousand taels of gold is for Mark Sutton to purchase resources to aid her cultivation,” Henry Sutton replied frankly, without hiding anything.

“What?” The Great Elder was stunned.

All the elders were stunned!

“Henry Sutton, are you crazy?”
