EX-Grade Ability Card: Tower Ascension with My Absolute Restoration-Chapter 43: Selling Loots
Chapter 43: Selling Loots
Looking at the store owner in front of him, clearly in shock at the loot that drops out of his newly acquired spatial ring, Azrael starts sweating nervously as he wonders how he is going to explain such a massive increase in the resources he brought back with him to sell to this middle-aged man.
His concerns are unfounded though as the man’s eyes starts glowing in excitement once he processed the previous shock looking at the massive amount of great materials in front of him, immediately kneeling down and taking out an identifying device just to make sure that the treasures in front of him are real, the panic clear from his succeeding actions as the moment that the result comes out from the device, he immediately stood up still shakily, before closing everything that will allow outsiders to see inside the shop.
"Ha, damn kid, just where did you get all these good stuffs?" locking the front door of the establishment before directing his attention to this not-so-long yet already treasured customer of his, the middle-aged man asked as he points towards the resources in the floor, most of them bones and sharp fangs and claws from the monsters Azrael hunted previously.
Most uninformed people would really not think too much about it as there are way too many monsters that have massive sizes that will yield loots similar to the size of the ones that the young man is planning to sell to the middle-aged store owner, however, those who knows their craft, just like this middle-aged man, will feel overwhelmed by the quality of what can only be branded as treasures, that the young man brought to his humble shop.
Having quite the trust towards the young man as the past week of transactions with him always brought him great benefits and revenues, the middle-aged man doesn’t even bother to check the other materials for their authenticity, shaking his head since as much as he wants to keep this entire treasure trove for himself, he knows that he is not capable of buying all these stuffs from the young man.
"Kid, that is quite a lot of treasure you hauled back, I won’t lie to you, I don’t think I have enough capital to buy all these stuff" taking a look at the small mountain of resources in front of him, the middle-aged man told Azrael as he starts scouring for the best ones among these monster remains, hoping to at the very least, buy the highest quality goods for himself before he allow the young man to sell his harvest to other stores out there.
Hearing the words from the middle-aged store owner, Azrael couldn’t help but widen his eyes in disbelief as never in his week of trade with this man did he encounter a situation like this, expecting that the man have quite the reserves of funds for him to be capable of buying all sorts of things he is selling for an extremely great price.
"Even your store is not capable of buying all these things, where am I supposed to sell the remaining ones then?" shaking his head as he already developed a good amount of trust with the middle-aged man and felt like other stores in the area is not comparable to his, Azrael asked, his question yielding an unexpected answer from the middle-aged store owner.
"Have you tried the shopping district’s Eternity? I heard they have a pretty decent exchange rate for materials like this" still inspecting some of the bones, claws and fangs in front of him, the store owner asked without even bothering to look at the young man, a lucky thing for said young man as he felt a bit surprised by the words.
’Hahaha, if I show myself there, I don’t even know if I will get out’ after a week of staying on the second floor of the tower, Azrael finally found out why is it that he felt somehow familiar with the establishment standing in the very middle of the city’s shopping district, the name of that place a reminder of an acquaintance he has in the past.
After all, within just a few days of roaming around trying to find out more information about this city, he heard that this establishment is related to someone he knows, the very leader of the Palace of Eternity. frёewebηovel.cѳm
’If that cold calculating witch were to find out that I entered one of her establishments, then I doubt she would let me out of that place unless she places some sort of tracking device on me, that’s one hell of a troublesome life’ he thought to himself as he shakes his head to the middle-aged store owner’s suggestion, the store owner somehow understanding him having a problem with doing just that, but not well informed enough to deduce why he feels like that.
"If you’re finding it too much of a trouble, then I suppose I can take a walk and sell the remaining ones there, I will only take some delivery fee, hahaha, is that fine with you kid?" sighing as he felt like he need to do something about this, the middle-aged store owner offered, making Azrael nod immediately to accept his offer, his immediate acceptance despite the cut in his earnings, something the store owner knows the young man doesn’t want, making him wonder just why is he so wary of that place.
"Great, I’ll take ten percent as a commission for being a middle-man" the store owner said with a business-like smile on his face, prompting the young man to frown a bit as he felt that he is getting scammed, urging him to retort as he points out.
"Heh... boss, that’s pretty sly of you, even the auction houses in the city only accept eight percent as commission, and you’re asking for ten percent just for running to the shopping district?" he pointed out with a trace of mocking in his voice, prompting the middle-aged store owner to let out an amused laugh as he stores the remaining resources on his spatial ring.
"Hahaha, right, right, five percent it is then" he surrendered easily making the young man feel pretty suspicious of his move but not concerning about it any further as he thought that it is just right to give as much as that if he can avoid interacting with anything related to that woman as much as possible.
