Nicholson Family:
About 10 minutes later,
The discussion came to an end. Wilfred Cox learned what had happened from Jason Nicholson’s mouth. He was shocked internally, especially after hearing that their family servant had died.
“You guys need to stay low-key. If Lord Charlotte is determined to protect him, then no one can do anything about it,” Wilfred Cox said with a bitter smile.
He was saying this not only for Jason Nicholson’s sake but for his own sake as well. They had all underestimated the newcomer’s importance to the higher-ups.
Jason Nicholson nodded to him, but he was extremely unwilling.
“Gravity Magic,” he gritted his teeth. Right now, he didn’t know what to do about it. He could only slowly think of a plan when the current incident calmed down.
Jason then thought of something before saying, “Even if we don’t do anything, the Black Tower guys won’t be silent. They will retaliate. Especially Tom Doyle; he won’t forget the humiliation.”
Wilfred Cox’s eyes lit up. He had almost forgotten about him.
“Good, we just have to watch the show from the sidelines,” he said with a smile.
Shortly afterwards,
He left the Nicholson Family house. Jason Nicholson then had a discussion with his father. They were clear that Wilfred Cox was an important person, and they were not going to offend him.

From MC’s Perspective:
After noon, I cut open a black molten rock. Just as I thought, it was going to be another crystal gem or broken artifacts. The system message left me speechless.
[Ding! Host has found the first outer space relic]
[Ding! It’s the outer space super relic of a space creature.]
[1. The item can be used to level up the host’s talent.]
[2. The item can be used to update the current system.]
I’m hearing the mechanical voice in my mind. I’m stunned and standing in a daze. It took me a couple of seconds to realize what had just happened.
“Ha… Ha… Ha….,” a joyful laugh escaped my mouth the next moment. I have been under stress lately, especially since becoming the beginner appraiser for the Silver Tower.
I have been looking for the relic. I never expected to find one so soon. Looking at the round blue and greenish jelly organ in my palm, I became more curious.
“It looks like the brain of some space creature. But it has the power to level up my talent and update the system,” I sucked in a cold breath of air.
[Ding! Whether to use the item Y/N]
The system asked the question in my mind.
Hearing that, I immediately controlled my impulse and put the creature organ in the box. I planned to use it after returning to my room.
The storage room is covered with magic formations. I don’t know whether people are monitoring me right now, so after putting it inside the box, I called Manager Lara and told her that I had selected an item for myself.
I thought she would come to inspect it, but she told me to take it away.
Hearing that, my mouth curved into an arc. I placed the box inside my storage bracelet. She hadn’t even bothered to inspect it. It turned out to be in my favor.
Who knows, she could change her mind after looking at the organ of the space creature.
Time passed.
Nighttime came. I left the storage room. My heart was filled with anticipation. More than talent, I was looking forward to the system update.
Because the update comes with a new function and magic spell power multiplier, my heart was already racing.
Soon, I reached my room. After entering, I locked the door before probing every nook and corner of the room. I was worried that there could be Magic Artifacts monitoring me.
After spending a couple of minutes, I came to the conclusion that the place was safe. So I entered the bathroom and closed the door.
Then I appeared inside the Gregor Mansion. Standing inside the hall, my gaze fell on the Zero Puppet. It’s a Grade-7 Puppet.
In the magic city, the current Puppet is of no help to me unless I find a way to upgrade it.
Suddenly, the Star Puppet Inheritance came to mind. Currently, I can’t go back to that place. Maybe in the future, I would try to get the complete Inheritance.
After clearing my thoughts, I took the box out and removed the cover. The round bluish-green jelly organ was shining with light. I immediately took it and held it in my palm.
The next second, I gave the command to the system.
Swoosh!
The organ disappeared from my palm. The next second, I felt something happen deep inside my body. The system was upgrading my talent.
I didn’t know how long it would take, so I appeared back in the bathroom. Then I opened the door and went to bed to lie down.
…
Meanwhile,
Manager Lara gave her daily report to Lord Charlotte. She also mentioned that Vincent Carey had picked an item from the storage room.
It piqued Lord Charlotte’s curiosity. When she asked about the item, Lara was left speechless. She thought it might be another crystal gem, so she hadn’t bothered to check it.
When Charlotte heard this, she was disappointed. But she didn’t reprimand Lara because she knew the possibility of encountering something extraordinary in the storage room was very low.
The appraiser’s skill is good, but Charlotte thinks they have already identified important treasures. There is no need to pay attention to the storage room items.
She then inquired about the Nicholson Family. After their family servant’s death, there had been no response from the Nicholson Family, as if they had accepted the punishment of the Silver Tower.
Charlotte thought that this incident would warn other Wizard seeds. If their family tried to involve themselves in the matters of the Silver Tower, then the consequences would be serious.
Then Manager Lara also briefed her about the Hana Jewels shop. Charlotte wanted her to expand the business connections as well. There are many neutral forces in the magic city. They won’t dare to use tricks against the Silver Tower.
Finally, Charlotte gave background information about Vincent Carey.
It was more detailed than before and included information about Vincent’s former academy, the Yellow River Academy, as well as details of the Meteor Country.
Additional information about the Ancient Redwood Country and True Elements Society was provided to her as well.
Charlotte had decided to support Vincent Carey, so it was necessary to know everything about him.
