“News about me?” Rose was puzzled.
After all, Rose only met Moses once.
He did not recall any interaction with her before that, so how did she receive news about him?
On the other side, Moses’s identity seemed to be extraordinary.
In Evergreen Town, none of the big families dare to provoke William, yet even he addressed Moses as “Lady Moses”.
Could it be that Moses had something to do with the Oceans Chamber of Commerce?
Rose pondered for a while, and before he realized it, he followed Rose toward the inside of the Oceans Chamber of Commerce.
Seeing that there was no sign of stopping even though they passed through multiple corridors, Rose was about to ask about it.
William seemed to have guessed Rose’s thought, and he explained, “Lady Moses is in the battle arena at the moment, and I’m bringing you there now.
We’ll still have to walk a little further to reach the place.”
Then, as they walked, William gave a general introduction of the Oceans Chamber of Commerce to Bjorne.
Before that, Rose already thought that the Oceans Chamber of Commerce was not as simple as it appeared.
However, following William’s introduction, Rose finally realized that the Oceans Chamber of Commerce was more extensive than he imagined.
Furthermore, Evergreen Town’s Oceans Chamber of Commerce was only one of the entire Oceans Chamber of Commerce divisions.
“The Oceans Chamber of Commerce’s estates can be found around Earlington of Efrax and several other places in Efrax, and Evergreen Town is only a really small part of it.
When you have the chance in the future, you can go and take a look, Fiona.” William chuckled.
“Several other places in Efrax.” When Rose heard that, he was secretly shocked.
Although he only stayed in Evergreen Town for a short while, he was aware of the difference between Efrax and Salleria.
Since the Oceans Chamber of Commerce could dominate the industries in multiple places in Efrax, Rose estimated that regardless of its financial or power, it was much bigger than Salleria’s.
Later, William described the Oceans Chamber of Commerce’s industries in Evergreen Town.
Rose found out that the Oceans Chamber of Commerce not only had a shop in Evergreen Town, but they also had diverse trades, whether it was clothing, food, shelter, or transportations.
Moreover, the Oceans Chamber of Commerce was also involved with the timber and minerals from the surrounding mountains around Evergreen Town.
Hence, it could be considered influential in Evergreen Town.
The battle arena that they headed to was also one of the Oceans Chamber of Commerce’s businesses.
Initially, Rose thought the battle arena was a place for martial artists to practice and instruct.
However, when he reached the area, he was greeted with a sight of people screaming frantically, and the atmosphere was intense.
He finally realized how naive his thought was.
That place was not for practicing but for competitions instead.
The large hall could fit thousands of people, and none of the seats were vacant.
In the middle of the crowd, there was a huge arena.
When Rose and William walked in, an ear-splitting clamor suddenly rushed over, and it was so loud that they could probably wake the dead.
Rose calmed himself down and looked toward the ring not far away from him.
At that moment, there was a warrior who spat out a mouthful of blood, and then he fell from the arena.
Next, the winner raised his hands high and roared.
In a n instant, the energy in the room also heightened, and the crowd bounced off the walls.
“Follow me.” Under William’s gesture, Rose followed him to the seats near the top of the hall.
Soundproof wooden boards separated the area, and no one could see inside from the outside.
Rose also noticed that despite many people being at the scene, the passage William led him was not accessible to other people.
Once they reached the room with the best view, William lightly knocked on the door.
Soon, Moses’s gentle voice rang, “Come in…”
William opened the door, and he smiled as he notified Moses, “Lady Moses, Fiona is here.”
“Fiona?” Moses was pleasantly surprised.
Then, she stood and greeted them.
Then, as if she was somewhat complaining, Moses said, “Fiona, it’s been so long since we last met.
I even thought of asking someone to invite you over.”
When William heard Moses’s intimate tone, he was secretly shocked.
After all, William never saw Moses talking to someone else like that.
Rose hurriedly explained to Moses about the Lawrence family’s trials that he joined before.
Hence, his absence was not on purpose, but instead, he did not have the time.
Moses was well aware of that matter, and she flashed a gentle smile at Rose as she invited him in.
Nevertheless, William knew Moses had a private topic to discuss with Mozart, so he excused himself and went to attend his other errands.
After Moses invited Rose to take a seat, she prepared him some tea.
Then, with a soft smile on her face, Moses said, “I haven’t even congratulated you.
Not only did you win in the Lawrence family’s trials, but you’re also regarded as one of the Evergreen Town’s top ten geniuses.”
“I‘m still confused about that.” Rose took a sip of the spiritual tea, and he instantly felt energized.
His whole body was refreshed, and he felt extremely comfortable.
He quickly understood that the spiritual tea Moses served was more upscale than the ones Chris gave him before.
As if she saw through Rose’s thoughts, Moses pursed her lips and smiled, “I brought this Spring Breeze Tea with me when I came to Evergreen Town.
I picked and roasted them myself.
Unfortunately, I didn’t bring much, but you can take them all when you leave.”
“Thank you.” Rose expressed his gratitude.
He could tell that the Spring Breeze Tea’s spiritual Qi was richer than he imagined.
Now that he was in the fifth stage of the True Martial Realm, the Spring Breeze Tea would help him break through the Pulse Control Realm.
Ordinary people would only absorb the spiritual tea’s spiritual Qi by making them into tea and drinking it.
If that were the case, some spiritual Qi would be lost.
However, Rose did not have such a problem.
Using the Fundamental Law of a Hunting Whale, he could directly chew on the tea leaves to ensure that no one trace of aura would be wasted.
Then, Rose took another sip of tea and asked, “What exactly is the Evergreen Town’s top ten geniuses?”
He heard that weird nickname before from Ralph too.
Seeing how Rose was unaware of the matter, Moses chuckled and questioned, “Did you go out since you won the Lawrence family’s trials?”
“I didn’t,” Rose answered honestly.
“That makes sense then,” Moses nodded her head and replied, “Actually, during the Lawrence family’s trials, the other families in Evergreen Town have successively selected participants for the next competition.
Hence, someone took the time and ranked them.”
“And I’m ranked in the top ten?” Rose instantly understood.
Moses giggled.
“That’s right.
Frankly, not many people in Evergreen Town would know you, but since you easily defeated Ashton in the Lawrence family‘s trials, many people started paying attention to you.
Later, someone found out the news of you defeating Harold from the Yates family was.
Hence, you’re ranked in the top ten.
Moreover, these top ten are all the contenders for the upcoming Dark Moon Sect’s spot, so the public nicknamed you all as the Evergreen Town’s top ten geniuses.”
