CHAPTER 107: PASSIVE SKILL LEARNING BOOK, KEEN DANGER SENSE

"Dong Yeon, someone who comes from a lower-ranking family. Few years ago, his father died from saving Han Yura’s father, which resulted in Han Yura’s father making Han Yura get engaged to him."

"From the looks of things, there’s not much benefit in it for me to get closely acquainted with this guy. After all, the only merit that he possesses is the fact that he has ties connected to the Han Family, and especially to Han Family’s current family head, Han Yongjun, due to his father having sacrificed his life in order to save Han Yongjun’s life."

"However, even though he is indeed engaged to Han Yura... From the rumors that I heard of how Han Yura treats him, who knows if the marriage between the two of them will be able to go through successfully. And most importantly, if Han Yongjun isn’t able to fully recover from his injuries soon, it won’t be too long until someone replaces him as Han Family’s new family head."

Newland Krex thought to himself as he watched Alan began inspecting onto the items within the rectangular case while with a slightly curious look on his face.

And when Newland Krex saw how calm Alan was toward the gift that he prepared for him, Newland Krex felt rather surprised as he thought to himself, "This is rather unexpected... I thought this guy would become surprised and excited when he saw what I had prepared as gifts for him..."

"Does he not know how much those greater mana potions are worth? Especially that passive skill learning book, which is worth way much more than those 9 greater mana potions are worth."

"Well, then again, it does make sense that he wouldn’t know exactly how much those greater mana potions and that passive skill learning book are worth. After all, he possesses a much worse background than that Dong Yeon does, which is that of an orphan..."

"Sigh, I hope that I didn’t make a mistake in trying to invest on him. Hopefully, he is able to at least awaken a class that is at least C rank or higher. Although... In honesty, I’m not really expecting much from him, especially with that 110 mana of his. After all, the main reason that I’m even investing on him is so that I could get on Anna Krex’s friendly side."

"From what I heard, Anna Krex and Alan are really close with each other. So, hopefully, once she learns that I have given Alan such a generous gift, she will end up becoming grateful toward me. When that time comes, by making use of Anna Krex’s gratitude toward me, I should be able to get her to put in a good word for me to my uncle, Noland Krex!"

"If I’m able to get my uncle to agree with allowing me to move my guild’s headquarters to the inner area of Azure Academy, I’m sure I will be able to entice and sweettalk more high-level adventurers into joining my guild!"

Upon thinking to himself up to here, Newland Krex saw that Alan had finally stopped inspecting onto the greater mana potions and was currently inspecting onto the passive skill learning book.

Afraid that Alan didn’t understand the truth worth of the passive skill learning book, Newland Krex opened his mouth and began explaining to Alan, "Alan, this is a passive skill learning book. After you have gone through your class awakening ceremony and awakened your class, you can use this passive skill learning book to learn the passive skill, keen danger sense!"

"If you do not know about keen danger sense, when someone is about to attack you, keen danger sense will allow you to be able to sense it immediately. It can be leveled up to level 3, and the higher level it is, the further the skill’s range will become."

"To be able to get my hands on this passive skill learning book, I had to spend quite a large amount of money. And if I remember correctly, it cost me around 300k eagle dollars."

"So, what do you think of my gifts to you? Do you like it?"

Everyone within the room could be seen having a look of jealousy when they heard Newland Krex explained that the passive skill learning book was able to allow Alan to learn the passive skill, keen danger sense.

Especially Yeon. The jealousy and envy that were within Yeon’s eyes as he looked at the passive skill learning book that Alan was holding onto felt like they would be able to burn through the passive skill learning book.

After Newland Krex finished speaking, he was expecting to see Alan’s face be filled with surprise and excitement, however, to his disappointment, Alan merely let out an indifferent mutter.

"Is that so? These gifts that you have prepared for me are wonderful, Newland."

Right when Newland Krex was feeling disappointed with Alan’s reaction, the words that came out from Alan’s mouth in the next moment made Newland Krex become rather surprised.

"Newland, I’m thankful for the gifts that you have prepared for me, but I’m afraid that I will have to reject your gifts." Upon speaking up to here, Alan placed the passive skill learning book back into the rectangular case, then closed the rectangular case and handed the rectangular case back over to Newland Krex.

Although Newland Krex felt surprised that Alan would reject his gifts, Newland Krex immediately kept away his feeling of surprise as he pushed the rectangular case into Alan’s embrace, then said while with a frown, "Alan, there’s no need for you to be so courteous with me. We are basically family, aren’t we? There’s no need for family members to be so courteous with each other! Keep the gifts that I prepared for you! Unless... you don’t treat me as a family member of yours?"

Upon hearing what Newland Krex said, Alan let out a helpless sigh while shaking his head, then said seriously, "Newland, you are misunderstanding me..."
