He just saw lots of scarlet monster cores before, and this core looked a bit similar. So, he asked William, wanting to make sure of his guess.
"It's a dark gold core of a scarlet monster indeed, belonging to a Scarlet Bear," William nodded.
"Just one? Won't do," The middle-aged man mistook William's actions here. It wasn't a secret to anyone in the high circle of power at the fort that he despised and hated any scary scarlet monster to the bone.
He guessed that William must have heard the news from someone, paid a price to get such an extremely rare core and came here to trade it with him for this membership.
Despite admiring the effort and thinking put into all this, he knew the true price of this single core was nowhere near what this kid had to pay to get the membership home as he just claimed.
"I have enough," but William's next confident and calm answer gave Ro a fright and made that man frown.
