Chapter 1029 There's still more?

Henry knocked on a door filled with a nervous, yet excited energy. One way or another, this day would go down in Simple Life history, and Henry was already a part of it.

"Come in," said an unsteady voice from inside.

Henry entered to the sight of a worried looking man studying a piece of paper held by the manager. They seemed to be reviewing some numbers, and were whispering amongst themselves.

"Manager, I just came in to report that Mr. Lex has left the bag for the rank 3 commissions and has gone out to complete the rank 4 commissions."

The manager and the other man both paled at the news, almost losing strength in their limbs.

"Didn't you tell him that we might not be able to pay him if he keeps on like this? Just the rank 3 commissions should make his income around 18,000 gold pieces. Rank 1 and 2 were still fine, but rank 3 is expensive. If he now goes and completes all rank 4 commissions we... we don't have that kind of liquidity!"

"I... I did. He didn't seem bothered by it. He said, at most, he'd just keep it in credit or maybe he'd just buy something from us. He... he also asked me to reward the appraiser with something to help keep them energized. I brought a list here for you to review before I disperse the rewards."

"Buy something... do you think he's after something in particular?" the manager asked the other man in a low voice? "Go get a list of our entire inventory. And I mean the entire inventory. There has to be more to the story than we know."

The other man quickly ran out of the room, as if his life depended on this task, while Henry came in and showed the manager the paper.

Lex, who was watching everything from far away, could not help but laugh. Yes, there really was more to the story than they knew about, but none of them would ever be able to guess his motives!

"The... the best... Mr. Lex how about you look through our inventory list and decide for yourself. I... I really can't..."

"Alright, alright, bring me the list. And here, someone take this."

Lex unceremoniously dropped the bag of body parts on the floor, as if it didn't contain exceedingly valuable parts.

Henry ran off, and returned only a few moments later holding a piece of paper. Behind him, his manager was also following though his pace was that of a normal stride as he tried to maintain a sense of dignity.

Lex glanced at the list, and pointed directly to something called Divine serum, which cost about a hundred gold per bottle.

"This one, it should have a revitalizing effect, right? Just give this to all of them."

"That? Is... I mean, are you sure? Isn't that a little overdoing it? That's for people with injuries that could lead to death. How about I suggest something?"

"No, the serum will be fine. They have a lot of work to do before they even get to the bag I just brought. If they're not full of energy, how are they going to manage when I go and get the final bag?"

"Final bag? You mean... you... you're still going back?"

"Of course I am," Lex said with a nod. "There's still some rank 5 requests left. I'll see you in an hour."

Lex nodded and left the room, and the manager who had arrived close enough just to hear the last part fainted.
