"A bumpkin who hasn''t seen the world," a young man next to the old man remarked disdainfully while looking at the people outside the door.


    "That''s someone from the Kartis Family, right?" Regret narrowed his eyes slightly. He recognized this young man as Kartis Man, the grandson of Kartis Kai. Not long ago, he had seen portraits of the main members of the Kartis Family in his father Ash''s study romm.


    Sitting nonchntly on the chair, Kamal raised his eyelids casually and said softly, "Originally, your ze Family wouldn''t be able to afford me. But since my disciple came out to speak, I can consider being your benefactor. Just ensure that the ze Family can pay thepensation on time."


    "Naturally," Peter''s eyes lit up upon hearing this. "As long as you are willing to help, we can negotiate thepensation terms."


    In the conversation between the two, Kartis Man cast a somewhat disdainful nce, scanning the faces of the ze family members in turn. Finally, his gaze suddenly settled on the pretty face of Qistina, a hint of surprise appearing on his face.


    "I didn''t expect this small ze family to actually have such a beauty. It seems this trip was not in vain," Kartis Man said, a faint curve appearing at the corner of his mouth. His unabashedly aggressive gaze made Qistina quite ufortable.


    As Kartis Man''s eyes flickered slightly, Regret sneered inwardly and stepped in front of Qistina.


    "Who are you?" his sudden interruption caused a anger to show Kartis Man''s face.


    "Oh, I see. Isn''t this ze Regret, the second young master of the ze family?" Kartis Man suddenly realized, nodding his head, "Just as Brother Kartis Van described, useless indeed. me Cat, even the lowest servants in our Kartis family look down on it. I didn''t expect you to cherish it like a treasure, always keeping it by your side."


    Upon hearing this, Qistina''s face almost instantly turned cold. She was about to speak when Regret took a step forward and calmly said, "You''re decent looking but your words stink. I really wonder if the young generation of the Kartis family is as ill mannered as you."


    "Do you want to die?" Kartis Man''s smile slowly froze on his face, his voice turning extremely chilly.


    "Youth tend to be hot tempered." Kamal, who had been expressionless sitting on a chair, picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip, then spat it out forcefully, furrowing his brows, "What kind of awful tea is this? Is it even fit for drinking?"


    "Just a small family, maybe they can''t even eat their fill. Having tea to drink is already a luxury for them," Kartis Man chuckled, his voice tinged with subtle mockery.


    Upon seeing this scene, Regret''s heart gradually turned cold. He knew that the ze family would never suddenly invite an alchemist. Now he understoodpletely that Kamal was just someone the Kartis family brought in to humiliate the ze family.


    Kartis Kai was truly ruthless; Regret couldn''tprehend what kind of rift existed between the Kartis and ze families to lead to such a situation today.


    The tea stains on the floor hadn''t dried yet, but the expressions on the faces of the ze family members turned exceptionally ugly. Kamal''s actions felt like a p in the face to each of them.


    "Although the tea of the ze family may not be good, it''s not something that everyone can just spit out. Mr. Kamal, there are always people beyond people and things beyond things. Although alchemists are precious, in such a vast city like Veloria, there is more than one." Regret smiled lightly at Kamal. Since he knew the other was an enemy, there was no need for courtesy.


    As soon as his voice fell, the scene fell silent. Everyone stared dumbfounded at Regret. This guy actually dared to provoke an alchemist in public? Even though the provocation didn''t start with him.


    "Truly a case of a neer showing no fear of the expert." There was no sign of anger on Kamal''s face, just a shake of his head and a smile. Regret''s words didn''t seem to affect him much; he just treated them as a joke. Within Veloria City, besides him, who else could the ze family invite?


    "Regret, step aside!" The second elder, Peter, sighed internally. Although he also disliked Kamal, an alchemist was still an alchemist with a lofty status. If it weren''t for thisyer of identity, he would have kill Kamal, who had been provoking him all along, into pieces.


    "A mere spiritual novice dares to speak so arrogantly here, how ridiculous." When Regret turned around, the mocking voice of Kartis Man rang out in the room.


    At the instant Kartis Man finished speaking, Regret''s steps suddenly halted. Then, he slowly turned around, his voice devoid of any emotion as he spoke slowly.


    "You are truly annoying. In the future, when you see me in the ze family, it''s best to take a different path. Otherwise, I might lose control and have someone ughter you."


    As soon as Regret''s voice fell, the younger generation of the ze family began to stir. Over a dozen figures with ill intentions gradually moved towards Kartis Man. The scene made thetter''s face quite unpleasant.


    "Remember, this territory belongs to the ze family, not the Kartis family." With that said, Regret no longer wasted any words, turned around and left.


    "Regret, you are good, I hope that there are always so many people by your side every day."


    Kartis Man looked at Regret''s back with resentment, a touch of coldness passing through his eyes.


    Regret left the front of the reception hall and did not return to his room. Instead, following the instructions of the Magi The Book, he arrived at an inconspicuous shop front.


    The shop was named Spirit Techniques Market, and it sold various spirit techniques that could be used by spirit masters. During battles between spirit beasts, spirit masters could not onlymand the fight but also assist the spirit beasts with different spirit techniques to alter the course of a battle.
