"Oh? Something important. Follow me and you better make sure it's worth my time."
"Don't worry this is way more worth than your time." he smiled at the middle-aged man mysteriously.
When the middle-aged man saw Mitz act this way it piqued his interest so he did not talk anymore and lead him a hidden room at the back of the shop.
The room was not that big and utmost it can fit around 10 people at the same time, but it was spacious enough to the two of them.
"So what kind of business are we talking about? Don't tell me that your selling me abyssal stones?"
Abyssal stones are a special kind of stones that contains abyss energy which a constellar's constellation turning them into Black holes. These what happens to a constellation when it's star energy are fully depleted are unable to regenerate more.
This kind of stones belongs to the 9 forbidden things in the tiny world. It can only be found on the Abyss Realm but strangely though it started appearing here in the tiny world.
The middle-aged man was afraid that Mitz might be selling him an abyssal stones so he unhesitatingly rejected him without even listening to his offer.
How laughable, if someone were to find out that they are buying abyssal stones then what will happen to them? He clearly know the strict rule of the city so as much as he can, he wants to avoid getting in trouble.
He was about to leave when he saw that Mitz had taken out a small object wrapped up in linen clothes. His interest was piqued by that small object, unknown makes everyone curious.
When Mitz removed the linen clothes covering the small object, something amazing appeared in his view. The middle-aged man's jaw dropped as he saw what was wrapped with the clothes, he looked in surprised at the violet crystal laid on the table.
STAR CRYSTAL!!
He yelled in his mind as his eyes showed a hint of greed as he looked at the crystal in front of him. Star Crystals are very rare in the city and getting one from an astral beasts is the same as courting your own death if you don't have the necessary strength to do so.
He heard that yesterday, there were three astral beast that appeared in front of the academy, and it was instantly killed by the gatekeeper. Naturally, the carcass of the three astral beasts will be given to the people but their will be no one distributing it so it was a fight to who will be able to obtain the most important part of the astral beasts which is the star crystal.
All of the other two crystal was sold to other shops which made him very disappointed, but now, he saw the shining violet crystal in front of him and surprisingly, it is going to be sold to him.
He sat down but his eyes never left the crystal on the table. He had an intense desire to have the crystal, and thinking that the one selling him was a young boy he wants to take advantage of this and want to buy it at a cheaper price.
"Where did you get this?" he looked at Mitz in amazement, if he have this crystal then that means that he was the other one who obtain one if the three crystals yesterday. A fourteen years old boy was able to get this crystal against the crowd yesterday is an admirable achievement.
But what he didn't know is that Mitz got this crystal rather easily, and the only thing he needed to do was pick this crystal up and leave. If he knows he will probably yell at his heaven defying luck.
He looked at the crystal again but then he noticed something odd about it, why is it that the color was so clear? Don't tell me?
"Ah!" he yelled subconsciously upon realizing that it was not an ordinary star crystal, it was a pure star crystal which increases it's value up to 3-4 times than it's normal market price.
"What do you say old man? Interested now?" he smirked and could not help but laugh at the middle aged man's reaction upon seeing the star crystal.
"Are you kidding me? Of course I want it, I'll buy it for 10000 gold coins." he took out a silver card which has an image of a phoenix on it's surface while below it was the name of a bank - Quartenion Bank.
Quaternion Bank was the most widespread bank among the others, it has many branches on each city of every continent so it has a pretty well known reputation. The silver card that the middle aged man was holding can be used to store gold coins. Then it means that the 10000 gold coins is stored at the bank branch of Quaternion Bank in Scarlet City.
As he was about to reach out and grab the star crystal on the table, Mitz took the crystal back and coldly snorted at the middle aged man.
"Hmm, you think I'm stupid not to realize that this is a purified star crystal? If you don't give me a reasonable price then there are plenty of others who would like who will be willing to buy this purified star crystal." at the very end of his sentence he clearly emphasized the word "purified" signifying that he knows.
The middle aged man looked at Mitz with a smile on his face, greed can be seen on his eyes.
"Kid, you think that your in place to negotiate with me?" Mitz could feel that there are two men who get inside the hidden room but he could not see them.
"I already given you a chance to earn from your hardwork since I'm not such a ruthless person. But you have to abuse my patience, do you want to die?" the middle age man was already standing blocking the only door in the hidden room. There are no other aside this door, there are no windows or even a small in this room.
