Chapter 10: 10:Differnce Between Protagonist And Side Character
"Hey, bro calm down. I am the first one to ask for that."Leon said calmly while keeping his eye on the man.
A string of text floated above the man's head.
Name:William Smith
Realm:None
Age:21
Protagonist Template:Treasure Hunting Type
"So what? It's not as if your name is written on it. Step aside kid," William snorted and looked at the old man.
"But he said it's not for sale," Leon asked, rolling his eyes towards the old man wanting to see how the old man reacts now.
"Boss, I need it badly. Please give it to me."William pretended to be desperate.
And much to Leon's surprise, the old man just kept staring at the guy instead of speaking the line not for sale.
'What the hell? Is this what face-slapping feels like?'
The old man scrutinized both the young man and fell into deep contemplation.
"Extend both of your hands."
Leon and William followed the old man's instructions. The old man pressed his thumbs on both of their wrists and closed his eyes.
Leon felt a cool refreshing feeling coursing through his body as the old man pressed his thumb on Leon's first.
At first, his brows furrowed with shock and then a frown appeared.
An Hogan then stared at William.
"You take it."An Hogan spoke looking at William.
"Great!"William screamed in joy.
"Wait! What happened suddenly? From your words, it looked as if you didn't want to sell this to me. I am also in need of this desperately."
'You old people are really a bunch of hypocrites. However, I am really surprised to see the live effect of the Protagonist's luck. If I hadn't been shielded from their effect, I might have acted in a dumb way and had my face slapped, lifting the protagonist's prestige.'
'This world is cruel. It pours everything to some while deriving even a small thing from others in need.'
Thinking this, Leon started laughing aloud.
Leon's laughter echoed on the street, startling the people on the street.
However, the moment he stepped out, his entire aura changed.
Peeking at Leon fading back, William smacked his lips happily while hearing the system prompts in his mind.
[DING!]
[It's detected that the host had spent 1.01 million dollars.]
[Do you want to use a 10X rebate card now?]
'Yes!' William confirmed after a brief thought.
[10X rebate applied. You have earned 10.1 million dollars. The money was transferred to the account 79XX XXXXX]
William's eyes lit up in enjoyment.
'Hmm!A trash dare to compete with me with the thing that already had my name in it. Not only did I show him his place, but I earned 10 times the money I threw at him using my 10X rebate card given by the system.'
'I am the luckiest of all.'
"So, boss, what's the price?"William then turned towards the old man who was looking at him curiously.
"I will give it to you for free. But you will owe me a favor."
"Favor?"William asked with a frown.
"Listen, boy, you have a great prospect with Divine grade Tier 3 Veins. I am sure you will become a great figure in the future."An Hogan spoke with a smile and started discussing while treating William as if he was a relative of his own.
"Don't worry boss. I will remember your grace once I become stronger and help you in anything you need."
"I expected nothing less."An Hogan nodded satisfyingly and after placing the herb in a box handed it to William after exchanging a few pleasantries.
