Chapter 1244 Why is she so stupid?
"What the hell? Did no one from this wretched planet die?" Dante was speechless. Never in his wildest dreams, had he thought that he would be having a reunion right now, not even with his friends but his enemies.
"What happened to that high priestess? Didn't she kill you all? Why is she so stupid that she can't even handle the likes of you?"
Liam laughed. "The guy is saying hello." He patted Dante on the back not caring at all about how pissed he looked.
Rey was at first startled but he quickly understood what might have happened. "Wow. What a surprise meeting you here!" He smiled.
Seeing everything, Madan nodded in understanding. He too chimed in with a friendly hello. All the interactions only infuriate the guy even more. Dante clenched his fists and spat out. "Yes. Yes. Seeing me here is all one big coincidence. Can we go now or do you want to waste more time?"
Liam shrugged and gestured for them to proceed. "No need to be sour. Let's move on and get what we came for," he said, leading the way towards the system shop's exclusive sections.
Dante gave a stiff nod, leading them through the shop with a grimace. Two fairies escorted them, both beautiful females and both clinging very close to Dante, pressing their assets against him. When Dante did not return their greetings like he usually did, the two quietly distanced themselves away from him understanding the situation.
"I assume you want to start from the seventh floor? Your Grandmaster title should have given you access until the sixth floor." He mumbled.
To his surprise, Liam shook his head. "Let's start from the sixth floor."
Dante gnashed his teeth. Why was this bastard asking him to start from the sixth floor? Only when they entered, he understood the reason.
Liam pointed to the block of Drakeheart Ore in the display case. "Buy this for me."
Dante mumbled something under his breath but complied, signaling a fairy who quickly noted the request. Just as the fairy was about to leave to make the purchase, Liam reminded them that what he wanted was that exact chunk of ore and not something else.
Dante's face twitched. What the hell? Why was this bastard nitpicking like this? Was he purposefully trying to make his life more difficult?
The fairy hesitated but Dante nodded at her. The woman then flitted off to the inside of the shop just like before, emerging after a couple of minutes.
However, this time she did not deny the request. Instead, with a pleasant smile she parceled the chunk and handed it to Liam right away.
As if Liam read his mind, he chuckled and reminded him. "I did you a favor by not inviting another person to eat. If she starts eating you will truly go broke!"
He did not bother explaining anything to him further as the group moved to the next floor, the eighth floor. This floor sold all sorts of offensive and defensive items.
These items were a grade higher than the ones they had seen before as all of them had some sort of runes inscribed onto them. When Liam asked around, he found that these runes made the effect bigger.
Liam recognized some of the offensive scrolls similar to the ones he had looted from the elves. He compared some and these were surprisingly not as good as the ones he had looted.
However, he did see a few rare items that he quickly snatched up.
Dante's frustration peaked as he watched Liam select items one after the other, his hard-earned money being used up by the second. His heart ached and he was internally crying tears of blood.
As they continued to move through the eighth floor, Liam's selections became more deliberate. He seemed particularly interested in a set of armor that was said to adapt to the wearer's fighting style, enhancing their natural strengths. After a brief negotiation, which Dante observed with a clenched jaw, Liam acquired the armor. But he did not buy just one. He bought ten sets of the same!
This bastard was gearing up the entire guild on his bank account! Wasn't this going a bit overboard?
Dante's expression was a mixture of disbelief and anger as he watched Liam make the large purchase. How much was the total even? His blood pressure was through the roof as he tried to mentally calculate. But halfway through he was forced to give up when Liam snapped in front of him, indicating that he was ready to go to the next floor.
Dante looked as if he had just cooked his leg and ate it. Liam, however, seemed unperturbed.
"Do you even realize how much you're spending? This is not a game, Liam. These resources took years to accumulate!"
Liam turned to him, his expression serious. "And you will be alive to do it all over again after I leave. Consider it as your donation for the planet you abandoned."
Dante's face turned a deeper shade of red. He clenched his fists, barely controlling the urge to lash out at Liam.
The fairies could also tell that something was wrong by now. Everyone silently climbed up to the next floor, the ninth floor.
Liam had expected something else but he was shocked to find out that this floor was wholly dedicated to items and not just any items. In front of him, neatly organized on many many shelves were items that emitted a soft elegant golden glow, something that only items of the Legendary Rank were capable of emitting.
Dante watched with dread as the group stood still, completely frozen, staring at the dozens of shelves with their mouths wide open. His mind was in turmoil, trying to calculate the potential cost of even a single item from this floor.
