Chapter 16

"I just a know a little bit of everything," John said to Sally with a poker face as he didn't want to get caught in something which he can't explain . Sally didn't bother him much as she knew everyone has their own secrets and asked the team to go towards the market as they still haven't finished the shopping . While Eva and Josephine were in a hurry as they wanted to prepare for the village before winter came . They were quite worried about the village after getting Joseph's information .

As John also needed Three legged Crow's blood he soon got in the search of the blood while he joined them to the market .

After searching for a while he saw a shop from afar and got into a shop . It was a big shop with 2 storeys which almost had everything . After a while, John found out that it was the biggest shop in East sea city . It dealt with various things from buying parts of wild and magical beasts to selling potions, herbs, and medicine . They also dealt with various materials which were required at home .

In the Shop was an Old man with a big goatee . This man seemed quite aged and from the looks of it, he was at least 60 years old . After getting into the shop he first looked around for the various things sold in the shop . He saw that there was a place where there were various animal ingredients . After finding out that there was no three-legged crow blood on the shelves he decided to ask the old man if there was some in case he missed somewhere else .

Old Man was watching John for a long time and he also noticed that John seemed to be looking for some blood of an animal which he couldn't find plus John seemed like a well-balanced fighter to him so he thought maybe he needs something rare . John approached the Old Man and asked him "Hello, I am John, I just recently came to the town and saw that this was the biggest shop So I hope that you can help me find a Three-legged crow's blood . If there's isn't any do you know where I can get some in this town?"

"Three-legged Crow's blood? hmm" Said the old man thinking .

"I have some blood of it but I don't if it will be enough for you . Plus its quite costly because Three-Legged Crow's are very rare and hard to find in these parts as they are mostly found in north-western forests . Anyways there is still 2 bottles of Three-legged crows blood inside the basement plus it is years old . So I don't know if it will suffice with your requirements . However, it will cost you 10 gold coins for purchasing one bottle of that blood . " the Old man said after thinking for a while .

John first decided to check the blood to ensure that it was workable and then buy it if was good enough .

"Sure, I don't have any problems regarding the price . Can you bring the blood bottles?" John replied .

The old man then brought out both the bottles of Crow blood and handed it to John so that he can check it .

After checking the Blood and making sure that it was usable . He decided to buy it and left the Shop to join the team and meet up with Eva and others .

Meanwhile, at Antonio's residence in East sea city, He was laying down in the bed with a doctor on his side and his butler preparing the necessary medicine and food and holding various necessary documents .

After eating his food and medicine Antonio first asked the doctor about his injuries in an irritated tone, "How are my injuries and how much time would it take to recover from them?"

"Young Master, the injuries are deep but aren't serious for any long term damage to the body . It will take 2 months of bed-rest and if taken some precious medicine are used then it will be healed in a month at most . " the doctor said cautiously to Antonio .

After nodding to doctor Antonio then turned to his butler James and asked: "So what have you found about that guy from Eva's team . "

After taking the document and giving it to Antonio, James then summarized the whole situation to him "Young Master, from the information I collected he is someone who recently came to a north-frontier town . As far as connections are concerned he knows Jack Snake from the Snake family and Joseph Morgan from the Morgan family . According to some people working under Joseph, it seems that he is doing business with John in new soaps from John's factory . He also explicitly said that Morgan family is going to protect them as they value this business relationship with John . And it seems that John also has a good relationship with Jack . So I think it will be hard to make a move on him directly but we can still move him indirectly . But there is one problem"
