Once Edwin found the Barret Family's secret, he formed a plan in his mind.

He decided to go and meet the Barret Family's Head named Jenson Barret. Edwin used the Spiritual Gathering Array as a reason to meet with Jenson Barret.

​​

Jenson Barret heard that Edwin had something to talk to him about the Spiritual Gathering Array and immediately decided to meet him.

The Barret Family's future depended on the Spiritual Gathering Array. As a result, when he learned from his sources that Rein Schwarz, the Merchant Union's Vice-Head, was seeking array-related jobs, he quickly began talking to him to hire the services of the array master.

Waiting for any more wouldn't be ideal for the Barret Noble Family.

After talking to Rein Schwarz, he understood an array master recently joined Rein Schwarz's services secretly.

The guy was pretty talented, but he didn't want to gather a lot of attention and stayed away from the Array Association.

Even though the array master's background was dubious, Jenson Barret wasn't scared of hiring him.

The fact that this guy had little to no connection with the Array Association worked in his favor. This meant, as long as this guy and Rein Schwarz remained silent, the information about their Spiritual Gathering Array won't spread.

In the last couple of days, a few elders of the family met with Edwin and informed him of the situation.

This was the first time Edwin was going to meet the Barret Family's Head.

Edwin remained calm as he stepped inside Jenson's room. This was Jenson's official room where he talked to outsiders.

There were no records, no papers, or anything of that sort in this room. This room wouldn't give away anything about Jenson or the Barret Family.

However, Edwin sensed a few array stones embedded in the ceiling that were recovering everything that occurred in this room.

A common warrior couldn't afford this stone. This was called Visionary Spiritual Jade.

In terms of working, Edwin felt that it was similar to the hologram technology he had seen when he lived on Earth.

It would record the events and then play them out exactly as they happened. Unless someone was an Array Grandmaster, there was no hope in editing the contents recorded by this Visionary Spiritual Jade.

Edwin wasn't much worried about this thing. In fact, this was convenient for him.

He glanced at the green-headed man ahead of him. It was Jenson Barret who was sitting in his seat.

The man gestured towards the empty seats ahead of the table and spoke, "Take your seat, Dark Shadow."

Dark Shadow was the alias Edwin was using. He was wearing dark clothes and also a pitch-black mask that concealed his entire aura.

Edwin sat on the seat available for him and got comfortable on it.

Once Jenson noticed that Edwin was comfortable, he asked, "So, what is this issue regarding the Spiritual Gathering Array? Is the price still not enough? Or is there a crucial fault in it?"

In reality, the Spiritual Gathering Array did have a huge fault in it. Jenson had already asked a few independent Array Masters to take a look at it, and they all mentioned that its core was damaged and it was impossible to repair it.

And their skill in the array formations wasn't great enough to construct this Spiritual Gathering Array from scratch.

Edwin spoke with a calm tone, "The Spiritual Gathering Array does have a huge issue, but I will be able to solve it as long as you continue to provide me the materials I require."

The confidence exhibited by Edwin calmed down Jenson, who replied, "That's no problem then. As long as these materials exist in the Sinyalian Kingdom, I will definitely provide them to you in the shortest time possible."

Jenson was quite proud of his Noble House. As long as it existed within the Sinyalian Kingdom, he was confident in obtaining that thing. Even if it was held by the Royal Family.

Well, if the materials were held by the Royal Family, it would be slightly troublesome to obtain them but not impossible.

The contributions of the Barret Family had been enough to ask for nearly any material as long as it wasn't of national importance.

"In reality, I had another motive to meet you, Lord Barret," Edwin spoke with a composed tone.

"Hoh. What is it then? Let me hear it." Jenson Barret asked with a mildly curious tone.

Soon, Edwin stated his request, "Lord Barret, what you are planning will come to haunt you in the future."

The pupils in Jenson's eyes widened slightly, and his mouth morphed into a frown as he asked Edwin, "What are you talking about?"

Edwin, in turn, spoke with a certain voice, "According to that Spiritual Gathering Array, nearly 3000 Warriors can train inside it without much issue. You are planning to use these warriors and plant them in the territories of your adversaries. Perhaps as bandits or make them enlist as warriors in their families and attack them."

Jenson suddenly stood up, his eyes wide-opened as he glared at Edwin, "Who told you about this?!"

This truly had been one of his primary plans. He had only discussed it with his father and a few other loyal elders of the Barret Noble House.

He couldn't believe that they had leaked such crucial info about the Barret Noble House.

"That's a hasty conclusion, Lord Barret," Edwin spoke calmly.

Jenson Barret snorted and replied, "Whether it's hasty or not remains to be seen. Do you think I can't harm you just because you work under Rein Schwarz? You are underestimating me then."

There was a disdainful sneer on his face as he stared at Edwin.

Edwin wasn't scared by that intimidating tone. He asked calmly, "I will say it again, Lord Barret. You are reaching a hasty conclusion."

Slowly, the ground underneath the two began to shine with a Purple Light.

When Jenson Barret saw those purple-colored lines, he looked absolutely astonished before staring at Edwin in shock. Since when did he begin the preparations for this array?

Soon, Jenson felt his Ardor getting suppressed by an unknown force.

Edwin slowly spoke, "This is merely the suppression array. I can't have you flaring up after every single second, can I?"

"Now, allow me to explain. I deduced this information by piecing together the current circumstances I observed, the situation that occurred in the past few months, and your reaction to it. Anticipating your future actions wasn't that difficult once I analyzed them all." Edwin spoke.

As he heard Edwin, Jenson wasn't completely convinced, but he had little choice other than to believe him.

He was struggling to deal with that suppression array Edwin had constructed. Although he could break it forcefully, his spirit would be damaged for a short period, and it would be hard to recover its power.

He could call out for guards to enter and take Edwin into custody, but he knew that Edwin was a 5 Star Warrior. And under the effect of this troublesome array, his guards would be greatly suppressed, and Edwin would easily be able to kill them.

Jenson calmed down and asked, "What do you want?"

"A deal with you," Edwin spoke with a smile.
