The Strongest Dragon in the Era of Beast Taming-Chapter 674 - 670: A Visitor from the Goldsmith Family

Chapter 676: Chapter 670: A Visitor from the Goldsmith Family

“The acquisition card for the Time Stone is in its final step, and Wayne Goldsmith, the future helmsman of the Star Moon Commerce Guild, wants to meet with you, otherwise he refuses to negotiate,”

Upon reading another message from Margaret Yule, David Jones’s brows slightly furrowed.

The Time Stone and Time Stone could only be obtained from Goldsmith’s Celestial Dungeon, and a small batch purchase was manageable, but if he wanted to buy in bulk, there was no way around involving the Goldsmith family.

Moreover, since the Goldsmith family had suffered heavy losses due to the theft of the Bodhi Tree and Kylin by an Evil Trainer at the Star Moon Auction Event, and as one of the participants, they hadn’t come to query him even after so much time, the ambiguous attitude shown by the Goldsmiths seemed worth discussing.

In that case, meeting wasn’t out of the question.

Thinking this, David Jones sent a message indicating that Margaret could pass on his contact information to the Goldsmith family, as he would negotiate in person.

“Buzz! Buzz!” Soon, the vibrating sound of the phone rang out.

David Jones tapped to answer, and the elegantly dressed Wayne Goldsmith immediately appeared on the virtual screen.

“Mr. Jones, if it’s convenient for you, I would like to meet and discuss a potential collaboration,”

As if worried that David Jones might think he was picking a fight or questioning him, he added, “I’ve brought quite a few gifts with me to Rosewood City this time, and I’d like you to take a look at them, let’s become friends.”

David Jones raised an eyebrow.

He knew his social status had risen considerably after winning the National Trainer Cooperative Competition, but he didn’t expect it to have reached such an extent that even the once arrogant young master of the Goldsmith family was now so amiable and respectful towards him.

It seemed that in these times, one needed not only a strong backing to make a mark in the world but also personal strength to hold one’s ground.

As for the gifts mentioned by Wayne Goldsmith, David Jones could guess some of them, “I’m free today, how about we meet at three o’clock in the afternoon at the Cheongsong Palace?”

Located in Rosewood City, Cheongsong Palace was one of the top leisure clubs in Southriver Province and an appropriate venue to accommodate Wayne Goldsmith’s status.

“No problem, I’ll be there on time.”

David Jones hung up the phone and glanced at Rainbow, who was playing or possibly comprehending the Rules in the distance; after sending it a telepathic reminder to be safe, he turned and left.

“Yi!” (Don’t worry, if anything comes up, I’ll notify you through the Beast Taming Contract!)

Rainbow watched David Jones with some reluctance, but thinking of the unmatched strength of the Destruction Demon Dragon, it turned and resolutely dashed towards the surging heat of the Lava River.

As for the Destiny Dragondoll, Infinite Dragon Emperor, or any ace pet in the team, none could hold a candle to Rainbow!

…

In Rosewood City, at Cheongsong Palace.

As the host of the banquet, David Jones intentionally arrived at the No. 1 deluxe box half an hour early.

However, David Jones had only waited a few minutes when the luxuriously dressed Wayne Goldsmith, guided by a waitress, warmly entered the room, masking the slight shock in his heart.

Unlike communicating through a virtual screen, the real-life encounter and the clash of their presence made Wayne Goldsmith realize what it meant to be a once-in-a-millennium prodigy!

If he remembered correctly, the first time he met David Jones, Jones was just an interesting Master Trainer, far from achieving the rank of King, and it would require a long period of cultivation.

But who would have thought that in just over two short months, as times changed, that once weak man who had posed a subtle threat to him now seemed utterly invincible.

“Is this the terrifying power of the Kylin’s Blessing!!!”

Wayne Goldsmith’s pupils suddenly constricted, and a hint of loss surged in his heart.

The Goldsmith family had spent ten years hunting the Firewood Kylin and despite hundreds of their kin trying, no one had received its blessing; he had not expected that an outsider would ultimately reap the benefits—perhaps that was destiny!

Just then, one of the attentive waitresses slightly bent over, revealing the enticing curve of her upper hemispheres.

“Sir, would you like to start with the menu or the card games…?”

David Jones waved his hand, “Let’s skip the card games, start with the menu.” ƒreewebηoveℓ.com

“Yes,” the maid’s eyes flashed with thick disappointment.

In Rosewood City, the name David Jones was known to all. She recognized his identity at first glance.

Unfortunately, her unfailing charm was not enough to captivate such a distinguished figure, not even to make him take a second glance and pick her designated red card.

“I’m not very familiar with Qing Song Palace, just order some authentic specialty dishes,” David Jones casually glanced at the menu and noticed that each dish used ingredients from at least elite beasts, and of course, the prices were quite touching.

“Meow-woo!” (I want to eat dragon meat!)

Upon hearing the order, Daphne suddenly raised her head, her eyes shining slightly.

Even the Gluttonous Beast, which had devoured the Machinery Dragon King, didn’t care to digest the mechanical Arcane Force within its body and let out a low growl with its mind.

“Roar!” (I want one too!)

“Baa!” (Make that one +1!)

“Twee!” (+2, and pack one for Rainbow!)

David Jones looked up at the maid and added, “Give us seven more portions of the Dragon Versus Tiger, Playing with Dragons and Phoenix, and Roasted Dragon.”

As if he thought of something, David Jones turned his head to look at Wayne Goldsmith, whose expression was a bit strange.

“Do you have any dietary restrictions?”

“I don’t eat beef, anything else is fine.”

After speaking, Wayne Goldsmith glanced at Daphne in David Jones’s arms and asked with curiosity, “I have a question, as a Dragoon, you eat dragon meat, don’t your contracted dragon pets mind?”

Upon hearing this, David Jones was slightly taken aback, “Why would they mind? They quite like eating dragon meat.”

“No problem then.”

Wayne Goldsmith shook his head slightly, his eyes sweeping unnoticeably over Daphne’s eyes full of attachment, and his evaluation of David Jones rose another level.

As everyone knows, dragon meat is an excellent tonic, and resources related to dragons can create many powerful dragon-related beasts.

Therefore, it’s not that Dragoons’ dragon pets can’t eat dragon meat, but those that frequently do awaken the hidden wildness and ferocity in their draconic bloodline, making them more aggressive and even awakening a desire for destruction within them.

In the Flowery Kingdom, many Trainers would occasionally feed their pets dragon meat, but very few dare to do so regularly with their dragon pets. David Jones was indeed a tough character among Dragoons!

Having already researched information about dragon meat, David Jones didn’t mind Wayne Goldsmith’s reaction and continued to order.

“The beauty seems interested, Mr. Jones, why not pick a couple of red cards?”

Once the maid turned to close the door and leave, Wayne Goldsmith suddenly showed a rakish grin, devoid of any image of a fine gentleman, causing David Jones’s mouth to twitch slightly.

This man was truly the notorious playful Trainer of Peony City!

But as the saying goes, the pot should not call the kettle black; he himself had no right to judge Wayne Goldsmith’s actions since he was not a paragon of faithfulness either. At most, he made sure not to fish in troubled waters.

“Let’s get back to business, regarding the Time Stone cooperation, what does Manager Goldsmith think?”

David Jones took the teapot and poured Wayne Goldsmith a cup of fragrant Qing Song tea.

Wayne Goldsmith’s expression also became serious, “Before we discuss cooperation, first I must apologize to Mr. Jones for the Evil Trainer attack at the auction, it was a lapse on Goldsmith’s part in security and judgment that allowed a distinguished guest to encounter danger.”

Upon hearing this, David Jones looked directly at Wayne Goldsmith, knowing he had yet to mention the crux of the matter.

Such as the God Quenching Bodhi and the Firewood Kylin taken by Collins Clark.

The atmosphere in the private room suddenly tensed up.
