It wasn't even close to what he expected before, but that old man showed such stinginess and stubbornness that left William unable to get what he wanted.
William regretted not going all out back then and dissected the monsters directly for their cores.
The number of dark gold bears alone was in the hundreds of thousands! And this old man kept harassing him about the price of tens and hundreds!
Even when William lowered the number down to one thousand, the old patriarch didn't settle with that and lowered it by fifty. William couldn't help but finally agree, to extricate himself from such a weird situation.
William couldn't believe it! However, at least he got out with such a large number of high end cores, and from such a rare breed of monsters as well.
This, no matter how William struggled in the past two hours, ended up with him getting enough to secure his needs for a long time.
