About a quarter of an hour later, Fang Hong figured out what had happened.
Shortly after his call with Elisa, the guild selling Earth Origin Crystal sent a message, sounding apologetic, but they still terminated the deal with them.
The Big Cat People watched him put down the Communication Crystal and asked: "So—because the Descendants of Flor interfered, the other party doesn't want to make a deal with us?"
Fang Hong nodded, still sounding a bit surprised. "That's about it. It seems they've figured out what we're up to and contacted the guild folks."
"...Plus, Elisa went a way with the Descendants of Flor and happened to see them meet with the guild people."
He glanced at the Communication Crystal beside him, "Anyway, they also sent a message, canceling the deal with us. At the Adventurers' Guild, they only showed an intention when they saw our posted task, so there wasn't any breach of contract."
