Nightmare Paradise : Starting as a Doctor

Chapter 147: Sublimation Material: [Cursed Doll]

Lynn's revelation of the incomplete [Tamer] sequence path sent shockwaves in the crowd, and whispers of astonishment, greed, and envy rippled through the underground room.

The implications were clear to the extraordinary individuals seated around the obsidian table, each acutely aware of the immense value such knowledge could hold and bring to them.

And unlike the transaction for the Sacrificial Rook, where the participants had engaged in a fierce negotiation, the asked price of a sublimation material practically met no resistance.

In fact, they thought it was surprisingly fair and measured. Some even secretly believed that Lynn might be undervaluing the worth of what he held. After all, it was a direct way to the extraordinary.

The problem, however, was the rarity of the asked item. Only a few had such precious objects in their possession here at this gathering and could retrieve them to present for the transaction.

He looked around the table, his gaze sweeping across the cloaked figures as he gauged their reactions, analyzing through them who was interested and could fulfill his terms and who could not.

Shade remained eerily silent, his covered features betraying no outward emotion. The subtle narrowing of his eyes signaled that his mind was deep in thought, carefully considering his options.

He was the one who had shown the keenest interest in the extraordinary knowledge presented. However, judging by his silence, it was clear that he was either unwilling or unable to meet the price.

His situation was not unique. Most people in this cavernous space were likely grappling with the same dilemma. They started thinking of alternative methods to obtain the coveted extraordinary knowledge.

The keen eyes finally settled on Silver Rose, the mysterious organizer of this exclusive gathering. She was the most obvious candidate capable of providing the sublimation material he needed.

The elegantly robed woman's lips curved into a faint smile, noticing his observation. "Any kind of sublimation material?" She calmly questioned, smoothly cutting through the tension.

Lynn met the piercing gaze and nodded without shrinking, his expression composed but with a hint of anticipation. "Any kind would work," he replied in a neutral tone.

"In that case, I may have something that could meet your demands," she confidently declared, lights flickering across the intricate carnival mask. "However, I have a particular condition in exchange."

His eyes narrowed slightly, yet he inclined his head, prompting her to continue. The other guests remained silent, having nothing equivalent to offer, and watched the negotiation unfold, eager to see the outcome.

The condition was straightforward yet caught everyone off guard. Silver Rose required him to refrain from sharing the details of the tamer profession with anyone else in this gathering. Of course, he was free to do as he wished after the event ended.

The narrowed gaze deepened as Lynn considered the proposition. He understood the significance of what she was asking, and agreeing to her terms meant limiting his potential transactions with others.

However, the potential benefits of obtaining the sublimation material outweighed the drawbacks of this situation. "Understood," he replied after a momentary hesitation. "I can agree to this."

The woman nodded, seeming satisfied. "Excellent! I believe we have a deal." She made a subtle gesture, and immediately, the space in front of her hands subtly deformed as something appeared between them.

A mysterious case seemingly appeared from thin air, and the eyes of everyone widened in astonishment. Etched upon its surface were complex runes and symbols, as if intended to seal whatever lay within.
