A young man around the age of eighteen with a young beautiful lady in her early twenties walked around the crowded merchant arena. The young man and lady are Thomas and Zara. Both of them are walking around the various tents, placing their merchandise in front of the tent.
Walking inside a big tent, a young boy comes out and greet them
" Esteemed guests, welcome to the blue stone merchant store."
Inside the big tent, it was divided into many separated hidden compartments. With a guard guarding every entrance.
"We would like to do some business with your store," Zara said.
"Oh, I see. Let me call the elder in charge" the boy said.
"Mhmm"
After a few minutes, an elderly man in his mid forties walked out from behind the compartment.
" Esteemed guests, we love to have you in our store. Please follow me" he said pointing to one of the compartments.
Entering the compartment, a round sitting chair was in the room with a table in the middle, a fruit tray was placed on top of the table.
Sitting adjacent of both Thomas and Zara, the elder asked
" What business would you like to do with us?" The nice environment and the elder attitude towards them gives both Thomas and Zara a good impression of the blue stone merchant store.
" We want to sell the body of a monster beast," Zara said with a smile.
"Phss"
The body of the earthcow instantly appears on the floor.
The elder had checked the cultivation level of both Thomas and Zara the moment he met them. Zara so young was already at peak bodybuilding realm stage 8 while he can't determine the cultivation level of Thomas. He had already concluded that Thomas was a mere mortal who does not cultivate. But seeing him use a storage ring made him speechless.
" The young man is hiding his cultivation. But it can't be higher than this pretty young miss." He thought.
" Earthcow! Where did you get it body?" He stared at both of them with a piercing gaze " both of you don't have the battle strength to kill this earthcow?"
" Oh, about that. When we are out to tempered ourselves. We found the earthcow seriously injured in a cave. So we're able to kill it." Zara said with her expression still the same while looking at the man nonchalantly.
"hmm, I see. How much are you going to sell this body. You know it isn't a complete corpse."
" How much are you willing to pay for this body parts"
Thomas sat there without altering a sound. He sat there oblivious about the transaction going on between Zara and the elder.
" Five hundred silver coins," said the elder.
" One gold coin"
" No we can only afford to pay five hundred silver coins in our store"
" Rank 1 monster beast worth more than five gold coins because this monster is not complete, that's why I agree to sell it for one gold coin. If you are not ready to pay, I won't hesitate to go to another merchant store." Zara said while looking the elder straight in the eyes.
Lost in thought " hmm it true. There are many merchants who are ready to pay more than one gold coin for this monster beast since the monsters are difficult to kill. Only ordinary beasts can be killed easily. Who has known that this young miss would not be gullible to sell it for me at a low price. Quickly let me buy it before she changes her mind."
Cunningly, he looked at Zara and said
" Ok we agreed to buy it one gold coin" while trying to put on a smile.
Seeing his behaviour, Thomas who had yet say anything looked at Zara and said " Big sister, the previous merchant wanted to pay us two gold five hundred silver coins why are you now selling it one gold coin"
Getting the gist of the situation, Zara quickly frown " I thought those merchant are not reliable, thinking maybe they may ambush us if we were paid that huge money" she looked at the man shaking her head " I thought you would have appreciated it that we brought a monster beast to your store but you wanted to dupe us. No?"
Seeing the turn of events, the elder panicked. " No, We the blue stone appreciate it for patronizing us. Am willing to increase it to two gold and I promised no one will know about this transaction."
" Do you think we are stupid, your words means nothing to me. Three gold coins or we will take it to the auction tent. I believe you know how much we are going to make from that." Zara sneer at him, she thought
" When LordMastet is on the seat and you are trying to be wise?" Zara shakes her head absent-mindedly.
" you are gonna. phssew"
" En!"
The elder could not believe how things have turned. He was the one trying to dupe them but now it was a daylight robbery.
He could only blame himself for being too greedy. If the opposition lay their hand on this monster beast it will be detrimental to their sale. All the pill that can be made from the monster beast will replace their loss and it may lead to high inflow of customers to their store.
" I agree," the elder said. Knowing that there is nothing to salvage the situation.
"Good, I know your merchant stores are reliable," Zara said with a charming smile.
"Reliable your head" the elder thought.
Giving Zara three gold coins .he thought " I thought I could buy it at a lower price and keep the remaining money in my pocket. I guess I could not add to the money used in buying this monster beast, I can only tell the higher up the actual price. " He smiled forcefully at Zara.
After Zara Collected the money, Thomas stood up and exited the compartment.
Zara smiles at Thomas, she thought " thinking I made a good profit of one goal coin with one third of the earthcow. Ah! Who would have known that this monster would increase it to three gold coins with his acting skills."
Walking out of the store,Thomas had guessed what she was thinking. He ignores her stare nonchalantly.
Behaving oblivious to what just happened.
Seeing his behaviors, Zara shakes her head
" Where too" she asked.
" Restaurant"
