Looking at the two jade boxes that were pushed back in front of him and Harris's expression that didn't seem fake, Ryan realized that he was being played.
He immediately changed his cold attitude.
Harris watched the cold expression on Ryan's face change from relaxation to helplessness, and smiled.
The atmosphere between the two of them instantly warmed up.
Harris spoke with a serious expression.
"Master Ryan, Alves is an old friend of mine. Let me tell you about his experience."
Ryan nodded. Although he had learned about Alves through the Book of Humanity, he now wanted to see what Alves looked like in the eyes of others.
"Ten years ago, Alves wanted to break through to the sixth level, so he used three fifth-level treasures with different attributes to help him break through."
"Originally, the energy from those three treasures plus Alves' own savings gave him a 40% chance of breaking through to the sixth level."
"But things didn't go as planned. When Alves made the breakthrough, one of his enemies, Garlon, got the news from somewhere and came looking for him just as Alves was making the breakthrough."
"Even though I was there and tried my best to stop him, he still disrupted Alves's breakthrough."
"This caused the three treasures of different attributes absorbed by Alves to collide directly within his body, instantly destroying the Dou Qi veins in Alves' body."
"If I hadn't had a life-saving treasure in my hands and sent it to the Church of Light immediately, Alves would probably be gone long ago."
Harris showed regret on his face when he said this.
"After I cured Alves, he tried to commit suicide several times in the year after that, but I saved him every time."
"After my guidance and by redirecting his motivation to live towards hatred towards Garlon, Alves gave up the idea of committing suicide."
"Then I found him a job, which was to help me manage Eselon."
Ryan nodded continuously. Of course he knew Garlon.
Suddenly, Harris seemed to think of something, a puzzled expression appeared on his face, and he looked at Ryan and continued.
"Master Ryan, I already know what you think of Alves. I have no objection to you taking Alves away."
"But Alves is a stubborn guy. If you really want him to follow you, it's hard to say what will happen with Alves."
"As long as Alves is willing to go with you, I will have no objection. But if he doesn't want to talk, Master Ryan, please don't make things difficult for him."
Ryan smiled calmly.
"Don't worry, Lord Harris. As long as you're willing, I'm confident I can convince Alvis."
"Okay, I've wanted to let Alves go out for a walk for a long time. Now that you're here, Master Ryan, it just solves my concerns." Harris nodded and smiled.
"Do you need information on Alves? I can give you a detailed profile, and you can start from there."
Ryan shook his head in denial and smiled.
"As long as Lord Harris is willing for Alves to come with me and explains it to him in person, Alves will agree."
A hint of surprise flashed in Harris's eyes, and then he wanted to understand why Ryan said that.
It seems that Ryan had already looked for Alves, and Alves also wanted to go with Ryan.
Harris shook his head secretly. Being able to impress that stubborn guy Alves would probably be of great help to Alves.
Harris then gave a dumb smile and said, "I understand. I'll call Alves over later and explain the situation to him face to face."
"But Master Ryan, please wait a day longer. After all, Alves is now managing the entire city for me, so some work will inevitably need to be handed over."
"One day is enough for Alves to finish all the work at hand."
