The merchant managed to sell each core by double their prices at least, and that meant he gained at least two hundred and fifty thousand crystals extra as profit just from the difference in the cores' prices alone.
William didn't think too much about this. The merchant got his chance, and he had all the right to make the best out of it.
And William was sure if the merchant acted greedily, waited for much longer to get better prices, then this would backfire at him.
The prices of these cores were destined to fall in the upcoming few days.

The first thing he did when he came back was to check on the two girls. "Still needs more time," he closed the door behind after checking on them, then made a meal for himself and ate his lunch.
