The amount of magic stones a Wizard of his level consumes is astronomical, a small experiment might cost hundreds of thousands or even millions of magic stones.
The magic stones Milton Cheney can earn from these trinkets he bought are very limited as well.
So naturally, he didn't mind chatting with the little fellow.
"Could this...be bought on credit?"
Milton Cheney watched Stanhope Thompson in front of him with anticipation as he asked.
Hearing this, Thompson was taken aback.
He started to question whether he had heard correctly.
Was this... a case of someone trying to scrounge off him?
Therefore, he was somewhat bemused.
This little guy, he didn't learn anything else from Bane, but he learned Bane's shamelessness to perfection.
Of course, what Milton Cheney didn't know was that his mentor Bane had asked for credit from Thompson many times before.
