106 Negotiation

Ryuu placed one 'Realm Ascension' pill of peak Wanxiang Adept level, with near 80% quality, 'Thousand Poison Antidote' of Wanxiang Adept realm with above 70% quality and a couple oftalismans each one of the of peak Wanxiang Adept realm comprising of binding, barrier and attack types.

Jureks Lodiņš was dumbstruck because of the goods in front of him, various precious weapons, medicine or talismans is auctioned from time to time, but as Whuix province is actually on the more remote area, with the only saving grace are the wilderness and the trade routes which passes through it, but otherwise it does not have any such redeeming qualities, the Hayakawa branch of 'Golden Phoenix Pavilion' had acquired many weapons, precious herbs, medicines etc. but mostly were of Low Wanxiang Adept, the only star of the show being a Rank 5 Spear Technique, which had been discovered in an ancient ruins, even though it is incomplete, he had thought that he would be able to reap a profit while selling them, but now as if a golden egg laying goose has fallen on his lap.

Jureks Lodiņš, almost drooled at the profit he would make, as such he decided to speak with extreme politeness laced with utmost devotion and flattery, "Your Highness this are extremely precious treasures, was this made by yours truly."

Ryuu : "Yes, Mr. Lodiņš, I am the one who made them."

Jureks with a smile on his face spoke, "Truly incredible my old eyes have not deceived me, I knew when I laid my eyes on your highness, a once a millennia genius, I hope you will not mind if I inspect it a little bit."

Ryuu gave permission with a nod, as the manager took one of the pill bottles, his hands shaking inside it was a single 'Realm Ascension pill', as the bottle allowed him to clear vision of its content, but holding it in his hands as the smell of the medicine caused his thoughts to go haywire the quality is beyond anything he had laid his eyes on he had half a mind to consume it, but he with great difficulty put it down.

He quickly checked the talisman's each of them as precious as the other, he held them as if they were priceless treasure and incredibly fragile.

The manager tore his attention from the stuffs lying in front of him as he smiled at them, "Your highness is these only things you have crafted or do you want to auction some more."

Sylvana send a mental transmission to Ryuu and according to which he placed a few more 'Realm Ascension Pills', bringing a set of 3 pills each for peak Wanxiang Adepts and Zifu Disciple respectively, but unlike the Wanxiang Adept ones, the Zifu Disciples ones were easily above 80% quality. The talismans ranged from a couple of attacks, defend, barrier, binding, detection types they worked as their name implied, they attacked, they increase the defense of a person, helps in creating a barrier field, helps in immobilizing and detect any forms of traps or any type of person/beings hidden. On top of that Ryuu was also selling a single pill for 'Thousand Poison Antidote', as the name implied it can be used as an antidote for various kinds of poison a very rare kind of pill.

Jureks: "Thank you my Lord I will have this priceless creation of yours showcased on the grand auction that will be held on 3 days from now, I promise that I will personally make sure that your goods will be sold with the highest price. So about the commission will 20% of the selling price suffice?"

Sylvana: "You must be joking right, 10% and not a single percent more."

Jureks: "Your Highness, you have to understand that there is lots of money involved in holding an auction the cost of staff and….."

Sylvana raised her hand making him to stop speaking, "Mr. Lodiņš, I very much understand where you are coming from, but I will not increase the percentage it is non-negotiable, hence you better make sure that the items that my brother put up for auction gets a decent price, if you have any problem please speak now as we will be happy to visit some other place."

Jureks just shook his head with a nervous laugh, "No no your Lordship there will be no problem the auction will be very successful."

Sylvana nodded at that, as the Manager drew a contract under the scrutinizing eye of Sylvana, Ryuu and the manager both signed when Sylvana confirmed there was no legal loopholes, Ryuu gave the custody of his goods to the manger.

Jureks: "Your Highness, will you be attending the auction yourself? And if so what kind of sitting arrangement will you prefer."

Sylvana: "Of course we will attend and what kind of sitting arrangement will you be able to provide."

The manager spoke with a soft smile as he replied, "The entrance fee is 2 low grade Spirit stones but as you are our special guests it is for free, then there is the VIp sections which are 10 Low grade Spirit Stones each, we have a few refreshment booths and much wider and cozier seats for our guest who are opting for it and the Royal Balconies we have only 10 of those they are covered with one way glasses to protect the privacy of the guests, you will be provided with personal assistant who will cater to your every need, and by every means everything", Ryuu had a confused look on his face heqaring that, whereas Sylvana had a scowl on her face, the man continued uninterrupted, "those booths each hold a maximum of seven person not counting the assistants, as such they are priced at 2 Mid Grade Spirit stones, for each booth."

Sylvana: "Is it possible to book in advance?"

Jureks : "Of course it is possible in fact we encourage booking in advance how ever you will get no refunds upon cancellation it is actually policy of our Pavilion.", he finished with a somber tone, making Ryuu feel as if the man himself is paying from his pockets.

Sylvana took out a couple of Mid Grade Spirit Stones as she handed to the manager as she spoke, "I would love to book a Royal Balcony and I would hope you will have the best one for us."

The Man stood up again while accepting as he bowed couple of times before he handed a token to Sylvana.

Sylvana spoke in a kind tone contrary to the cold stoic voice she was using while speaking to the Manager of 'Golden Phoenix Pavilion', "Ryuu, let us return back to our hotel, our work here is done."

Ryuu nodded as he replied, "As you wish big sister."

Jureks hurriedly spoke, "Please allow me to escort you Highnesses back to your hotel."

Sylvana replied back in cold tone, "There is no need to trouble yourself, no please excuse us."

With that they left the auction house, leaving a bowing Jureks Lodiņš who when they were out of sight started jumping up and down while shouting, "I struck gold I struck gold, hahahahaha".

His laughter caught the attention of his staffs, who had peaked inside the room to see an excited Jureks Lodiņš jumping around like monkey.

Jureks Lodiņš quicly summoned couple of his workers as he barked out orders to them, "You all are going to spread the news I want every people inside Hayakawa city now about ........"

Meanwhile Sylvana and Ryuu made their way to their hotel, a fairly well decorated hotel situated in more posh area of the city, the hotel itself had the aristocracy vibe in it, as they reached the reception area of the Hotel, which was named 'Tengoku', Biskha greeted them, "Welcome Your Ladyship, Welcome Your Lordship, I hope your business was well taken care of."

Sylvana just gave a small nod as she spoke, "Yes it was satisfactory, please guide us to our rooms and inform our sisters that we have arrived."

Biskha bowed as she spoke, "Yes you're Majesty, but I bring a bad news and I wish to beg for your forgiveness for causing you inconvenience."

Sylvana raised her delicate left brow as she spoke, "BIskha, what kind of inconvenience you speak of?"

Biskha, "Your Majesty, as per the instructions we received we tried to procure the best rooms, but unfortunately the best rooms are not meant for single person, it is a double room, the single rooms were not up to your status, as such first Lady instructed us to procure double rooms, she also instructed us to inform you upon your arrival."

Sylvana just smiled at that, "It is fine, I would not mind sharing a room with my siblings", she turned towards Ryuu as she spoke with a smile, "Seems like we will be having a sleepover."

Ryuu returned with a big smile he loved sleepovers with his sisters.
