Any product could be sold for a sky high price as long as the customer was desperately in love with it.
Ikasa's manuals held the same allure for the Nian Clan's young leader. He was willing to go against the elders of the Clan just to obtain a few copies and put his clan's finances in red.
As such, the mere possibility of getting the manuals cheaper made Sang Yi excited. He did not bother to conceal his true emotions from Ikasa. With eyes shining, he waited for Ikasa to state his conditions.
"I usually only sell my x100-use manuals to my Business Partners. If the Nian Clan is willing to manage a branch of my Manual Store in Elm City, I can definitely offer you a significant discount on top of the lower price."
Sang Yi often let his emotions get the better of him. Many in the Clan would say he was impulsive. Yet, they chose him as the leader for expedition to the rift because he had learned to keep his impulsiveness under control.
