    Chapter 2729


    “Are you saying they don’t know Phoenix Valley is the foundation of the Middle Province Alchemist


    Alliance? They obviously know that many excellent alchemists are a part of Phoenix Valley. The fact that


    they agreed to the tournament means that they’re prepared!”


    Hearing that, Elder Eliot’s expression darkened, agreeing with Elder Baggins’ point. Everything had


    happened far too quickly, and the negotiations went well without a hitch.


    With the problems Phoenix Valley had been going through, they did not care about the details.


    Thinking of this, he started to feel like everything before them was more than just a smooth-sailing event


    but a massive trap prepared by someone else instead, just waiting for them to fall into.


    With that in mind, Elder Eliot became even more unsettled.


    Elder Baggins took a deep breath as he turned to look at Elder Turner, who held the highest position


    among the seven elders and was Phoenix Valley’s decision-maker.

    The elder was sipping tea as he listened to the elders around him, smiling as he spoke. Compared to the


    surrounding elders, his expression seemed more refined and


    solemn.


    Looking at him closer, they noticed how furrowed his eyebrows were, as though he was thinking of


    something that gued him. Seeing his expression, Elder Baggins’ heart stopped. He felt like a storm


    was brewing.


    Right at that moment, Elder Eliot shot up from his seat and rushed toward Rick.

    Elder Baggins hurriedly stood up when he saw Elder Eliot, reaching out to stop him,


    but Elder Baggins was a step toote. Elder Eliot stormed right before Rick, who was talking to Elder


    Kesh about their students. with a pleased expression.


    He was baffled to see Elder Eliot going to him, mainly because he could not understand why Elder Eliot


    seemed so furious.


    Rick frowned. “Elder Eliot, did you need something?”


    Elder Eliot suddenly sported a small smile as heposed himself, pointing to an area. “I have


    something I want to talk to you about alone, Elder Rick. Could youe with me to discuss things over


    there?”


    Rick frowned.


    He had always been a person with a keen eye. Even though Elder Eliot hadposed himself quickly,


    Rick noticed his initial expression.

    Even though he did not know why Elder Eliot seemed this enraged, it would not be anything good, that


    was for sure. Also, he woulde off pompous if he rejected Elder Eliot’s request. Thus, even if he did


    not want to, he had to stand up from his seat.


    Elder Baggins furrowed his eyebrows as he watched Elder Eliot walk to a corner of the hall with Rick,


    feeling unsettled.

    Elder Baggins knew Elder Eliot very well. He was always a straightforward and loyal person.


    Elder Eliot was liable to say something inappropriate that would instigate Rick.


    Someone as vindictive as Rick would look for revenge in the future if Elder Eliot offended him.


    Elder Baggins, growing concerned at the sight, decided to follow them, leaving the remaining four elders


    rather baffled. Nheless, they were intelligent folks and made noments about this exchange.


    Only Elder Kesh was somewhat invested in this situation, with sharp eyes fixed on Rick’s form for a good


    while.
