Chapter 1208

Paul had been glued to his computer screen, waiting for what felt like ages. When he finally saw a response pop up on the clunky old website, he clicked it open immediately. After a brief pause, he typed, "Rea?"

Mirabella's fingers shook a little when she saw those letters, but she quickly pulled herself together and shot back a question mark.

Paul paused for a few seconds, then asked, "Who gave you the Elixir of Purity?"

Mirabella tapped her response impatiently, "Are you buying or just here to waste time?"

Mirabella couldn't help but scorn him in her mind as she quickly typed back, "Nothing under twenty million. Take it or leave it. No haggling, no small talk."
