I Can Transform Into Any Monster-Chapter 40: Buy

Moving up to Level C, Luis wants to advance as quickly as possible.

However, even though the process only involves absorbing energy, the amount of energy needed is too much.

No one can say they can advance quickly except for those with unlimited funds.

He was actually hoping Alice would help him with her money.

After all, she has so much money after selling those hearts. She might even have more than she got before today.

Unfortunately, it’s hard to say. He can only wonder if Alice realizes that he wants her to help him.

Given her intelligence, she should be aware.

When he looks at her, she gives him a glance.

"You know, if you want to get it quickly by buying Monster Cores, you need at least 400 million dollars. When you buy Monster Cores in bulk, the price will skyrocket. Sellers know you need them and won’t hesitate to raise the price. This will be the same with all sellers unless you’re wealthy enough to buy a little at a time from thousands of different sellers," she said.

"400 million dollars..." Luis nodded unconsciously upon hearing that.

He imagined how wonderful his life would be if he had that much money and used it to live a lavish lifestyle, buying mansions, cars, and even a private jet.

However, Alice hadn’t mentioned helping him or even lending him money.

If she was willing, he wouldn’t hesitate to borrow that much money because he was confident he could pay it back in the future.

Luis fell silent, waiting for Alice to speak again, but the woman was just staring at him with an expression that was impossible to read.

"Luis, so you’re the one who stole my poison..." Suddenly, he heard Milo’s shout from behind.

Looking back, he saw him, but he was alone, his expression a mix of anger and joy.

When he showed the joyful expression, he chuckled.

"Hahaha, it seems my poison saved you, but do you know what problem you have now? Even death isn’t enough to solve it. Your parents will die too," he said, looking very pleased with his misfortune.

From the start, he had hated him, but it was clear he hated him even more now, especially seeing his closeness with Alice.

Now, he truly seemed to be falling into misfortune.

Milo couldn’t stop laughing at him.

His attitude even made Alice furrow her brows.

Before Luis could do anything to Milo, Alice suddenly spoke to Luis.

"Follow me, I’ll help you advance to Level C," she said.

"What?"

Milo was stunned by her words, his eyes widening in disbelief.

Of course, Luis was also very surprised, not expecting Alice to actually say that—something he had always wanted to hear.

How could he care about Milo now? He quickly followed her as she walked toward the school building.

Her destination turned out to be the teachers’ office, which was now filled with confusion.

From there, the teachers could clearly see Luis fighting with the imperial students.

They didn’t expect him to come to their office.

However, Alice’s destination was Mr. Joe’s office.

The old man didn’t even come out. He remained in his office despite the commotion outside.

Perhaps his dislike for Luis made him unwilling to help.

Of course, when Alice asked to meet him, he still allowed the two of them to enter his office.

His expression showed curiosity as to why Alice had come to his office.

"Mr. Joe, don’t you have a friend who has a large stock of Monster Cores ready to sell?" Alice asked him, causing Mr. Joe’s eyebrows to raise.

"I want you to help me contact him. I want to buy Monster Cores worth 200 million Energy Points. I’m willing to pay a higher price," she added.

Luis took a deep breath when he heard that, while Mr. Joe glanced at him.

Since the amount she wanted was 200 million Energy Points, Mr. Joe easily guessed who she was buying the Monster Cores for. He was very confident in his guess.

His hand instinctively gripped his not-very-long beard.

"Are you sure, Alice?" he asked, observing her face.

However, Alice actually looked very calm, showing no special emotions, as if she were just doing something ordinary.

Mr. Joe couldn’t say that Alice was influenced by any particular emotions or feelings.

And Alice nodded in response.

"Well!" Mr. Joe seemed to have no choice. freeweɓnovel.cѳm

He stood up from his chair, made a call, and walked a few steps back.

After a moment, he looked at Alice again.

"He’s asking for 420 million dollars. If you agree, he’ll send the goods here directly," he said.

Luis’s eyes couldn’t help but tremble at the number, which was even higher than Alice’s estimate.

On the other hand, Alice nodded again.

"Give him my phone number. Tell him to send his bank account number. I’ll pay now and I want to get the Monster Cores as soon as possible," she said.

Mr. Joe was a bit surprised by how quickly she made the decision.

He blurted out, "Even though you’re only at Level C, I think you’re richer than me!"

"I just happened to get a lot of money recently," Alice replied humbly.

She didn’t seem to want to be praised for having money.

Mr. Joe just smiled before typing on his phone.

Just a few moments later, Alice’s phone received a message from an unknown number.

And she immediately responded to the message.

After that, she finally sat down on the guest chair.

Luis couldn’t help but stare at her in amazement, wondering what had made her make this decision.

"Mm!"

His eyes looked out the window, seeing an eagle suddenly flying quickly toward the window.

Interestingly, there was a ring on its finger.

Whoosh!

The eagle flew in and landed on Mr. Joe’s desk.

"Take it," Mr. Joe said to Alice.

Alice quickly took the ring from the eagle’s finger.

"Thank you, Mr. Joe, I owe you one. I’ll be going now," said Alice before stepping away, signaling to Luis to follow her as he had done before.

As he followed her, Luis couldn’t help but ask, "Alice, why did you do that?"

He speculated that Alice might be in love with him, so she was willing to do this for her potential lover.

However, this was clearly not the case. He understood Alice’s personality well enough to know that something like this wouldn’t happen easily, though it wasn’t impossible either, as Alice was undoubtedly a normal woman who also had an interest in men.

This had been mentioned by her close friends at school.

"Don’t think this is without conditions," Alice replied.

Luis rolled his eyes and asked again. "What are the conditions?"

"I want someone who can develop quickly and become stronger, then fight against the empire to free Velos. With your unusual progress, I hope you can become the one who can defeat the empire. If you can truly do that, I don’t mind spending money to help you. Even if you prove you have the ability, unfortunately, I don’t know what it is that makes you progress so quickly. It’s a bit troubling to me. That’s why I want you to tell me what your ability actually is."

Alice, who was walking ahead, looked back as she said that.

Her eyes met his, and then she stopped in her tracks.

Luis wasn’t sure how to respond since what she wanted as a condition was for him to tell her about his abilities.

"Alice, to be honest, I’d rather keep this a personal secret," he replied. "My abilities are extremely powerful and unimaginable. That’s why it’s too difficult for me to tell others, even someone I trust the most."

"Would you not tell me even if I insist on knowing and refuse to give you all the Monster Cores?" Alice asked, making Luis scratch his head.

"Come on, Alice..." Luis smiled wryly.

"If you want another condition, I don’t mind whatever it is, even if I have to pay you back with interest later," she said with an expression that seemed ready for anything.

"It seems like you’re determined to keep it a secret," said Alice.

"I hope you understand," replied Luis.

He looked at Alice’s expression and thought she might still give him the Monster Cores even if he didn’t tell her about his abilities.

From the beginning, she had bought all of them for him. If she didn’t give them to him, she would have practically wasted her money.

However, Luis then noticed that she had become a little sullen.

This was more surprising than anything else because she had always seemed like someone who wouldn’t sulk at a man.

Luis guessed that she might not be able to control herself because her curiosity hadn’t been satisfied.

However, secrets must remain secrets before they reveal themselves.

He felt he wasn’t being selfish, just trying to protect himself.

Alice furrowed her brows after pouting.

"Take it. My intention was to help you for Velos, not for personal gain," she said, handing him the ring, but her tone still sounded annoyed.

Luis couldn’t help but glance at her strangely because he saw the true nature of a woman through Alice, who was the most beautiful and intelligent woman with a well-balanced personality, so that typical female traits such as sulking did not appear in her, at least not that he had seen today.
