“Lord Onyx, the blueprint for the Hero’s Altar is so precious. Why did you give it away?”

Not long after Richard left, a few carriage guards asked Onyx in confusion as there was no one around.

Onyx, who felt restrained even when he was sitting on the wide chair, glared at them.

“Who saved us just now?”

They whispered.

“Although it was Lord Richard who saved us, there is no need for us to use such a precious item as a reward, right?”

“We paid a huge price to save it from the sandstorm!”

“Stupid!” Onyx’s fat face showed so disdain.

“If the enemy had ordered an attack at that ti, what do you think would have happened to us?”

“Rember, the first rule of the Phoenix-Tail Flower Chamber of Comrce. In the desert, life cos first.”

“Don’t think that the sky will fall just because you lost a precious blueprint.”

“Weaklings have no choice. At that ti, even if the odds of the enemy attacking us were only 30%, we would never take the risk.”

At this point, Onyx’s tone beca inexplicably low, and mories flashed through his eyes.

“Fifteen years ago, I once followed Young Master Oko to deliver a batch of goods. You may not know who Young Master Oko is, but you must know that Young Master Oko was the one who bought the weapons produced by the Phoenix-Tailed Flower Guild for 50 years!”

The room was imdiately filled with shock.

“That ti, we encountered sothing similar to today. The storm blew away the caravan. After we escaped, we were surrounded by a group of desert bandits.”

“Young Master Oko would never surrender. He resisted with his life, and in the end, he was killed by those desert bandits.”

Onyx was full of regret. “Initially, the Phoenix-Tail Flower Chamber of Comrce wanted to negotiate with a powerful empire to establish trade relations.”

“Young Master Oko’s death led to the failure of the negotiations. The competitors took that spot by force. We suffered imasurable losses.”

“From then on, the Phoenix-Tail Flower Chamber of Comrce ca up with that iron law. In the desert, life cos first.”

“If Young Master Oko was still alive, the current Phoenix-Tail Flower Chamber of Comrce would probably be ten tis stronger!!”

“Therefore, you must rember that surviving is the most important thing in the desert. Only then will you have the chance to continue earning more profits for the Chamber of Comrce.”

“I will personally explain this matter to the president. If there is any punishnt, I will bear it alone!”

When they heard this secret, Onyx’s companions imdiately fell silent.

After a long ti, soone finally spoke up.

“Lord Onyx, what should we do next?”

“Rest well first before returning to Solan City. Rember, don’t cause trouble in this territory. Our lives are in the hands of others!”

After Onyx and the others discussed for a long ti, Karu, who had already arranged for soone to bring back the prey, walked into the house with a smile.

Two n carrying tightly covered trays followed behind him.

The cook in the Lord’s mansion specialized in serving Lord Richard. These outsiders were not qualified to take a second look.

“Lord Onyx, I am the Administrative Officer of Twilight City, Karu.

“When Lord Richard left, he specially instructed to bring the most precious specialty of Twilight City for all the distinguished guests to taste.”

‘Specialty?’

‘What specialty could there be in this shabby place?’

Although a few guards had faint smiles on their faces, they were silently slandering him in their hearts.

Onyx stood up politely and laughed loudly.

“Thank you for your hospitality. It’s my honor.”

However, Onyx did not even look at the things that the two n were carrying.

As a rchant of the Phoenix-Tail Flower Chamber of Comrce, he was a hero.

He had seen so much of the world, so what else was worth him looking at.

Karu seed to have noticed their carelessness, so he did not care. He reached out his hand and motioned for the two n behind him to take off the tightly sewn wooden lid on the tray.

The mont the lid was taken off, an indescribable strange fragrance instantly filled the room.

‘Gulp!’

Onyx and the others swallowed their saliva at the sa ti. The sound was so loud that everyone could vividly hear it.

Imdiately, their faces flushed red.

They looked at each other, their faces filled with embarrassnt.

One second ago, they had looked down on them, but they didn’t expect it to be so embarrassing in the blink of an eye.

Fortunately, they didn’t say what they were thinking. Otherwise, they would have died on the spot.

Onyx couldn’t care less now. He took a step forward and looked at the crystal clear and slightly golden object in the gray bowl.

Suddenly, he felt that the simple bowl had beco extraordinary.

“Is...is this honey?”

Looking at the stunned expression on Onyx’s face, Karu revealed a proud smile.

“That’s right, Lord Onyx. This is a specialty of Twilight City. Lord Richard brought this exquisite delicacy back.”

The taste of desert honey. Those who had tasted it would never forget it.

The pinnacle of the human world.

“Can I have a taste?” Onyx swallowed hard.

Speaking of which, it was embarrassing. Onyx had traveled all over the world for so many years, but this was the first ti he had seen such a special fragrance of honey.

“Of course, this was originally used by Lord Richard to entertain you all. But because it’s too precious, the quantity is not much. Please, forgive .”

“Thank you, Lord Richard!”

Onyx impatiently picked up a clay bowl filled with honey from the tray.

He placed it at the tip of his nose and sniffed it.

That special fragrance made him feel like he was floating in the air. He felt relaxed and happy.

This was surely a rare delicacy!

His eyes flashed with a hint of intoxication.

He couldn’t wait, but Onyx didn’t want to go too fast. He brought it to his mouth and concentrated all his energy.

Like a pilgrimage, Onyx tasted the desert honey in small mouthfuls.

When the honey entered his mouth, Onyx only felt an indescribable delicious explosion.

He was in a daze.

How could there be such a delicious thing in this world?

Was this a gift from the gods?

After he finished the honey, Onyx looked at the residue at the bottom of the bowl and licked it clean without any hesitation.

When he ca back to his senses, Onyx rembered that he had done it in front of outsiders, and his old face imdiately turned red.

He thought he was knowledgeable, but Onyx didn’t expect that he couldn’t even withstand a few drops of honey.

Just as he was about to speak, Onyx suddenly felt a warm current coming from his stomach.

Then, his entire body felt as comfortable as if he was soaking in warm water.

His spirit was greatly boosted, and in the blink of an eye, Onyx had recovered more than half of his depleted physical strength. Even the injuries on his body had healed quite a bit.

Onyx beca more and more excited.

Not only was this honey delicious, but it also had the characteristics of recovering physical strength and injuries!!

Gods above, what kind of f*cking peerless delicacy was this?!

In his excitent, Onyx turned his head to look at his companions beside him and discovered that they were currently hugging their bowls and licking wildly...

The corners of Onyx’s mouth twitched. Was there hope for them?

Onyx looked at Karu, completely devoid of the nonchalance from before.

His tone was sowhat heated.

“Sir Karu, may I ask, how much more of this honey is there? How much can you produce per month? In the na of the Phoenix-Tail Flower Chamber of Comrce, I implore to open up trade with Twilight City...”
