Chapter 363: How much are you going to pay me?
After sending Maxen off, Mike continued drinking alone.
With over an hour left tonight, he might as well relax here since he had nothing better to do.
Although Thor had provided everyone with a lot of benefits and buff bonuses this month, only Mike knew how tired he truly was.
Back when Shadow Nine was still around, Mike could occasionally get a good night's sleep in the classroom.
Now that Shadow Nine was gone, and he had the mysterious Shadow Three by his side, Mike had to sleep with his eyes open.
Sometimes, Mike felt like he wasn't being protected by Shadow Three, but rather that he was keeping an eye on Shadow Three.
Mike finished the last drop of wine in his glass and was about to order another one on Maxen's tab when a handsome guy walked into the Wolf's Den.
Suddenly, all the lights in the Wolf's Den started flashing, accompanied by special
background music. A deep voice boomed from the speakers.
"Tonight's drinks are on the human race's first Ultimate Lord, Calderon! Let's hear it!" Mike: ???
Was Calderon that cool?
This was the first time Mike had seen someone enter the Wolf's Den with their own theme music.
Even Maxen didn't get this treatment.
Calderon must have loved showing off when he was young!
After all, for the human race's most senior Ultimate Lord, coming to the Wolf's Den and treating everyone to drinks wasn't a big deal.
With Calderon's wealth, he could easily buy the entire Wolf's Den!
Ace had a stern face, clearly disdainful of Calderon's childish antics.
How immature!
As he passed the bar, he specifically instructed Nyx Valoria, "Everyone else can drink on the old geezer's tab, but not Thor."
Although Ace was wearing a Lone Wolf mask, Nyx Valoria knew his identity very well and nodded in agreement.
Nowadays, Ace was known as "Little Calderon" by some insiders.
They knew Calderon's temper all too well.
Hearing Ace's words, Mike couldn't help but roll his eyes.
Look at how stingy he is.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Ace walked straight towards Mike and said bluntly, "I have some information to sell you."
Ace knew very well that with his intelligence, he couldn't outsmart Thor.
He might as well be straightforward.
Even if he got screwed, it wouldn't be too bad.
The shortest distance between two points was a straight line!
Therefore, he also found the fastest and most efficient way to trade with Thor!
After listening, Mike nodded slightly. "Then how much are you going to pay me?" Ace: ???
"I'm the one selling information to you, you should be paying me!"
Mike scoffed at Ace's argument.
"You want to sell? Did you ask if I wanted to buy? Sorry, I'm not interested in your information. Want me to listen to your information? Sure, pay up!"
But Ace couldn't beat Thor.
The "bully the weak, fear the strong" trait in Ace's lineage was activated once again.
"Then let's not talk about this information."
Ace was also quite open-minded and immediately changed the subject. "Let's talk about something you're definitely interested in."
Mike nodded. "I'm all ears."
Ace offered his bargaining chip. "I know where to investigate Shadow Three's identity. I can
trade that for a piece of information from you."
Mike was indeed very interested in this.
"How much?"
Ace made a bold offer. "Two hundred thousand!"
Mike nodded. My budget was, "Five hundred."
After some haggling, they finally settled on a price of eighty thousand.
Mike, trying to suppress his heartache, asked tentatively, "Gold coins?"
"Lord merits!"
Ace took a deep breath. Eighty thousand gold coins, was it worth him making a trip to the
abyss?
"Fine, eighty thousand it is..."
Anyway, this money was originally earned from Ace, so Mike didn't feel bad about spending
it.
After the deal was settled, Ace didn't stay long and turned to leave.
"Take care, I won't see you out."
As he watched Ace leave, the faint smile on Mike's face gradually disappeared, replaced by a
grave expression.
He wasn't as calm as he appeared!
In fact, when Ace hinted that his information was related to the Supreme Mark, a bold
thought had surfaced in Mike's mind!
Mike quickly took out his Trade Secret Realm pass, entered a familiar number, and contacted
the other party.
"Professor Gregory, are you there?"
Gregory quickly replied, "Yes, I'm writing a guide."
Mike initiated a voice call.
The moment the call connected, Mike's voice trembled slightly.
"Professor Gregory, I have something important to tell you, don't be scared."
On the other side of the pass, Gregory's voice deepened.
"What happened? Did Apollo lose control?" Mike spoke with a hint of bitterness, voicing his conjecture. "The Supreme Mark... might already be in my possession."
