Chapter 134: Farewell to Marion

Mora didn’t object to William’s decision regarding the name. It sounded nice, though he wondered why white doves symbolized peace.

Seeing Mora’s agreement, the name of the Chamber of Commerce was settled between the two of them.

William and Mora rode in the carriage driven by Bend towards Colon Street.

With Mora’s introduction, William roughly inspected the premises procured on Colon Street.

This area used to be a slum, slightly better than 16th Street, but still far from ideal. Piles of garbage littered the streets, showing no signs of being cleaned up.

Mora pointed to the empty street ahead and said to William, “I’ve bought up this entire street; it should be enough for our use.”

“If it’s not enough, it doesn’t matter. People around here are already asking if we’re taking in tenants, given that we’re offering quite fair prices.”

“I’ll arrange for a cleanup, and we’ll be able to move in soon.”

“I’ve had the house at the end of the street renovated as a place to sell food and daily necessities. It should meet your requirements.”

William nodded in satisfaction. This situation was quite good. He had experienced the plight of players when they first entered the game world – sleeping rough and without proper clothing.

Moreover, a few run-down houses were no big deal. If players weren’t satisfied, they could build their own houses!

The White Dove Chamber of Commerce could provide a full range of services from materials, construction to decoration. As long as players could afford it.

“Also, buy up the surrounding streets while you’re at it. It won’t be a loss.”

Mora nodded and said, “Alright, I’ll arrange it.”

Mora didn’t mind. The Lower City District was spacious and cheap. Buying more wasn’t a problem for the White Dove Chamber of Commerce.

“So, who are you preparing all this for? I haven’t heard that many people are coming to Canlight City recently.”

Compared to the reasons for purchasing property, Mora was more curious about who William was arranging all this for.

“Haha, you’ll know when the Annual Holy Festival arrives!”

William didn’t directly answer, just smiled and said.

“Alright.”

Seeing that William didn’t want to say more, Mora shrugged.

The Annual Holy Festival, were people coming to Canlight City to participate in the celebration?

Mora didn’t think so. After all, the Annual Holy Festival happened every year, and there was nothing special about this year’s celebration.

After leaving Kolon Street, William and Mora headed towards Gedo Street.

On Gedo Street, William had also prepared a storefront base, not far from the Mercenary Guild, in preparation for attracting players later on.

William planned to be there when the time came, recruiting players under the pretext of hiring for the White Dove Chamber of Commerce.

As for how to distinguish players from natives?

That was a minor issue; just recruit those who behaved strangely and looked like lunatics. It was absolutely spot-on!

Although the game announcement suggested that players should imitate the behavior of the natives and not attract attention, most players were anarchists, thrill-seekers, and experts in courting death. Getting them to behave themselves was indeed a daunting task.

Until later, when someone discovered that they could restrict players through sealing methods, the players’ arrogant behavior was finally suppressed.

After all, for the top powers in the Gaia World, there were plenty of sealing techniques at their disposal.

As William and Mora were leaving their own shop, William seemed to sense something and turned to look in the other direction.

There was a man in a black tailcoat standing by a nearby stall, particularly conspicuous in William’s eyes. At the moment, he seemed to be buying something from the roadside stall.

“Is that vampire Marion?” Angela, who was leaning on William’s shoulder, asked quietly.

“Yeah,” William replied.

Angela stared fixedly at the person, also noticing Marion’s presence.

For some reason, Angela felt quite interested in this vampire named Marion, as if there was a kind of bloodline connection.

However, Angela had no intention of approaching him. Since coming out of the tomb, she had been enjoying her life of eating, drinking, and sleeping much more comfortably than before.

Angela was quite satisfied with her current life, and until the heart of the Duke-level vampire was consumed, she didn’t have to worry about the speed of her power increase.

At that moment, Marion seemed to sense their gaze and turned to find William.

Smiling, Marion walked over to William.

Seeing this, William wasn’t worried. After all, he still had a few uses left for the Dimensional Shield in his ring. He didn’t have to worry about this seemingly mentally unstable vampire making a move on him.

“Mora, you go back first. I have something to take care of here,” William said to Mora with a serious expression.

Seeing William’s serious expression, Mora nodded and quickly left the scene without looking back.

That’s how it was between good friends.

“Nice to see you again, Lord William Cain,” Marion said, bowing slightly in front of William.

“Hello, Lord Marion,” William replied.

William looked at the roasted chicken and fruit tea in Marion’s hand, seeming to have just bought them from a roadside stall.

I don’t believe you have nothing to do with Angela!

William thought to himself, but he didn’t want to directly ask Marion about Angela. After all, he was suspicious of the mental state of the vampire in front of him. Although he seemed normal now, he might just attack like he did at Old Jack’s shop.

“I didn’t expect you to enjoy these human foods,” William said, implying something.

“It’s also one of my hobbies. I think the greatest invention of humans is their various cuisines. Every time I go out, I make sure to enjoy the local cuisine,” Marion said with a smile, not hiding anything, and took a sip of the fruit tea in his hand.

“Is this your first time in Canlight City?” William asked, refusing the chicken leg offered by Marion.

“It is indeed my first time. I’ve been staying in the south and rarely come this way,” Marion replied cooperatively, discreetly retracting the chicken leg in his hand and finishing it in a few bites.

“What brings you to Canlight City?” William asked.

“Haha, someone arranged for me to find someone. Nothing important,” Marion said casually, throwing away the garbage in his hand and showing a faint smile on his somewhat pale face.

Looking for someone?

You make such a big fuss in Canlight City just to find someone, and you’re showing up so brazenly in public?

William was speechless and didn’t know how to continue asking.

Seeing that William didn’t ask any further, Marion said, “Lord William, since I’ve been so sincere, could you do me a favor?
