Chapter 93 The VIP Section

Chapter 93 The VIP Section

The deal was sealed after that.

Aldred Winsley used an Enchanted Item to calculate just how many Monster Cores existed in each sack, and by multiplying them with the agreed-upon price, they arrived at the selling price. New novel chapters are published on

A whooping 4,650 Platinum Coin!

'I still can't believe this...'

Rey was trying his best to remain composed after hearing such an absurd number, but his heart remained unsteady.

Adding that to his balance of 1,051 Platinum Coins, he now possessed 5,701 Platinum Coins in total.

'I never thought I'd get this much in a single go... talkless of now!'

Rey felt like a scammer, but he didn't feel the slightest bit bad.

Why would he?

This was the Black Market for a reason.

'Once the influx of Monster Cores arrive, these guys will be at a loss. I should probably avoid coming here for the time being...'

Rey smiled internally, realizing he had made enough money for now.

Training was what came next, so distractions like this were unnecessary.

"As always, it is a pleasure doing business with you." Aldred's voice woke him from his deep thoughts.

The deal had been completed, but they were both still in the lounge.

Staff had come to take away the Monster Cores, and also give him his money. At this point, Rey felt like he was overstaying his welcome.

'I should be leaving now...'

He rose to his feet in a slow, dignified manner. Aldred's gaze was on him the entire time.

"Likewise. I'm leaving now." He said in a monotone.

At this point, Aldred jumped to his feet—almost as if he hadn't expected their dear seller to leave so soon.

"Please, why not stay a bit longer? I would like us to discuss further on—"

"There are other places I must be..."

Rey didn't want to be among the few who would be late for Adonis' stipulated time.

He was already in enough hot water as it was.

'It'll be bad for my Extra Image if I keep having attention drawn to me...'

As a result, he decided to leave as early as he could.

Aldred led the masked fellow to their shopping area—the place reserved for only the most esteemed of customers.

Even in a High-End Store like this, there was no way to escape discrimination in some way.

Certain products simply weren't meant for all eyes to see.

They were special—meant only for the cream of the crop.

The masked seller was brought to the place where those products were kept.

"Welcome to our VIP Area. All items here were made with the highest-grade of materials available." There was pride in Aldred's tone as he spoke.

No Monster Core less than Grade 7 was used to make any of the Items here, and only the most refined of minerals and Mana Crystals were utilized in the manufacturing process.

Not only that, but the goods were one of a kind—unless they came in a set.

Still, you would never see more than one person carrying an Item within this place.

A truly luxurious place.

"Due to your continuous relationship with us, we would like to give you a gift." Aldred began, breaking the silence in the room.

This was the true reason he had brought the masked man to their establishment.

"You may take any one Item of your liking. No, make that two... since your guard there might fancy something too."

Aldred could see their seller's subordinate squirm a little. He couldn't help but feel proud of himself for employing that strategy.

'He often sends this man to do business with us. If we can get him wholly on our side, I'm sure that would work to our benefit.'

"I see. Then I shall take a look around." The deep tone of the masked man curtly interrupted Aldred's thoughts, causing him to straighten up instantly.

"Y-yes! Please do!"

And so, the seller advanced to the rows of Enchanted Items, with Aldred standing still and looking at him from his position.

'Hopefully, with this... we can have his goodwill.'

Thanks for reading!

It seems Rey underestimates how much these people value him.

Though... they influx might ruin it.
