Just as Lin Yang and Si Ge had not yet begun their negotiations, some commotion arose from the reservoir's bank.
Soon, following the guidance of the onlooking crowd, two or three businesslike figures approached Lin Yang, carrying all manner of items in large and small bags, and more exaggeratedly, one person was even shouldering a set of scales.
After a brief conversation, Lin Yang learned that these people also wanted to acquire the giant pike.
But this was just the beginning, as the noise along the bank did not cease thereafter.
Groups continued to arrive, and though of different ages, all were unmistakably wealthy by their attire, and their purpose was the same: to obtain the giant pike caught by Lin Yang.
It is said that rarity is precious, and while pike may not be the tastiest among freshwater fish, its mere presence, sizeable as it is, already manifests its value.
