Constructing-Style Wizard

However, everything was under control.

Noland Lee maintained a calm and composed demeanor.

Kaiden saw that Noland was unwilling to budge, so he stared at Noland and said word by word:

“Mr. Jarvis, you should leave now. Our meeting ends here today.”

Noland sat back in his chair, looking calmly into his opponent’s eyes:

“Calm Knight, you’re not so calm now. Please sit down. I’m here to make a deal with you, not to seek revenge.”

“A deal…Hmph…People who can recognize me at a glance are either my close friends or enemies. My friends are long gone from this world, so you must be my enemy.” Kaiden was still entangled with the idea of how he had been exposed.

Noland faced the stubborn old man, ignoring his obstinacy and said to himself:

“Listen carefully, Kaiden. I will trade magical things for Calm Knight’s cultivation secrets. A soul contract will witness our deal. If either party leaks the transaction, their soul will be harmed. I know that a stubborn Knight like you doesn’t need magical things, so I’ll give Sienna the magical things she wants. It’s that simple. If you worry about me leaking your whereabouts, I can make another soul contract with you alone.”

“But how can you explain recognizing me…”

“Once is enough, Kaiden.” Noland emphasized, interrupting him:

“I give you one last chance. Do you want to trade or not? Don’t make me use other ways to obtain your cultivation secrets.”

After finishing his words, Noland calmly took a sip from the tea cup on the table.

Kaiden clenched his fists and stared fiercely at Noland, “You’ll never get my…”

“Your time is running out, Kaiden.” Noland put down the tea cup:

“Your five viscera and six bowels are nearly exhausted, allowing you to use your martial arts two or three more times at most. After that, you’ll die from an explosion due to mana loss, and Sienna would lose the housekeeper she relies on to survive. Don’t waste this precious opportunity to use your martial arts on me, save it for protecting Sienna on the way to Moon Bay Peninsula.”

Kaiden was stupefied.

He looked down at his robe and carefully examined Noland, but didn’t notice any mana fluctuations caused by casting.

Now, Kaiden was completely confused:

“How could you know about my physical condition…”

Noland didn’t say a word, just looked at him.

Kaiden’s body trembled, like a withered leaf hanging on a branch in autumn.

He leaned on the corner of the table and sat down, his figure hunched, no longer as tough as before.

After Noland had seen through his secrets, there was no need for him to maintain a strong appearance. It would only make him look like a stubborn duck.

After a long time, Kaiden said painfully in his anguish:

“Fine, we’ll trade. But I must remind you that my enemies can recognize Calm Knight’s martial arts at a glance. If you learn my martial arts, it’s best not to use them, otherwise…”

“You don’t have to worry about that, Kaiden. The soul contract we’re about to sign will have a confidentiality clause related to this.”

Noland knocked on the table:

“Let’s complete the transaction tonight. Please call Sienna over, and it’s best to bring her Magic teaching materials. I need to decide what magical things to teach her based on her courses and needs. Rest assured, I won’t ask you to unlock the Magic locks on the teaching materials. I just want to see the covers to avoid misunderstandings due to verbal discrepancies.”

Kaiden silently nodded and walked towards the door.

Noland reminded him from behind:

“Don’t think about running away with Sienna. I have no obligation to keep your identity secret before signing the soul contract.”

Kaiden’s body trembled slightly, he turned around, looked deeply at Noland, and then opened the door and left.

The door opened and closed.

In Noland’s “Life and Death Tracking” Magic Vision, Kaiden sluggishly walked towards Sienna’s bedroom.

Kaiden tried hard to adjust his posture all the way. Finally, before knocking on Sienna’s door, he had recovered his proper housekeeper demeanor.

Noland, using the “Life and Death Tracking” Magic Vision, watched Kaiden bring Sienna to where he was.
