Forsa clearly spoke their purpose and sounded sincere when he said it.
David is also well aware their offer is indeed above the highest price in the market. This tang knife allows him to do his own valuation, which is about 10 magic crystals while floating above and below 2 magic crystals. A price of 15 magic crystals is already 1/3 above the market price, which is definitely a sky-high price for this tang knife.
However… David surreptitiously glanced at Angel, who shook his head slightly.
Since the original owner is unwilling to sell, he won’t overstep his bounds, ah!
David said with a wry smile: “This knife is not up for sale for the time being. If you want, you can come and take a look next week.”
Forsa’s expression was full of question marks and asked: “Can you tell us why it has to be next week?”
David was speechless for a moment. He doesn’t know why Angel won’t sell until next week.
When Forsa saw David’s silence, he squinted his eyes and said: “You’re not going selling it to us, right? Why do you keep giving us an excuse for selling it next week?”
David didn’t speak, because he didn’t know how to respond.
At this moment Angel muttered: “Maybe your offer is too low? You know, many things have been happening lately and weapons will only become more and more expensive.”
When Forsa heard Angel speak, his tone eased slightly: “I know you are talking about Frost Moon Channel, but now that Frost Moon Channel has been open for more than half a month. All those who should’ve bought weapons have already done so. The price of this knife can’t rise any higher!”
“Yeah! It is absolutely impossible for it to rise any higher.” Lafitte said: “Even if Frost Moon opens up a second channel, the price of this knife won’t rise anymore. Whoever goes to the second channel won’t need non-alchemy weapons. So, they won’t value this knife at all!”
Angel replied: “Not necessarily.”
“Angel, you don’t know about market economies. My father is the economics minister in my country. David is also well aware my offer is indeed above the highest price in the market.” Forsa and Lafitte didn’t pester Angel too much. They wanted to go after David… not Angel.
“Anyway, I’m not selling it now, maybe the reason is… The price will really increase next week!” David also felt very guilty when he mentioned “price increases.”
“I’m telling you, if the price really does increase, I’ll let you kick my head like a ball! You know, I can get at least two of the same kind of weapons at Twilight Auction for 15 magic crystals.” Lafitte shouted.
David said flatly said: “Then you can go and buy it at Twilight Auction. It isn’t for sale today.”
“You!” Lafitte pointed at David as he glared ferociously.
David may be a little afraid of Blackjack, but he was completely unafraid of Lafitte and Forsa, two little apprentices who have just entered the Wizard Plane.
“Why, do you want to start a fight in Master Promi’s Alchemy Shop?” David deliberately emphasized “Master Promi’s” name with a hint of mockery on the corners of his mouth.
Only a handful of people dare offend Promi in the Underground Market.
A few days ago, Promi rescued “Milk Baron” from the battle arena and killed many people in the process. But so far, no one dares trouble Promi over this incident which shows the strength of an alchemy wizard!
As soon as Lafitte heard mention of Master Promi, the ferocious eyes on his face softened as he looked quietly to Blackjack.
At the same time, Forsa also looked to Blackjack with his small eyes. Their meaning was obvious to all: The little brother was defeated, elder brother, please come to the rescue.
Blackjack’s brow wrinkled as he cursed in his heart: How can I help you idiots at this time? Keep treating him badly until he sells me the knife!—Anyway, even if Promi finds out, it has nothing to do with me.
Blackjack had a wonderful idea. He would push his two little brothers to give a hard time and get the knife. But apparently, he didn’t have a deep understanding of Forsa and Lafitte’s personalities. The two men look arrogant and domineering on the outside, but they are faster to run than anyone else when it comes to encounters with tough foes.
In front of the little brothers’ eyes pleading for help, Blackjack was unable to continue sitting on the sidelines.
Blackjack walked up with a ferocious expression on his face and pointed at David… But ended up not speaking for a long time.
In fact, he didn’t want to offend Master Promi either!
After a long time, Blackjack hastily set down a remark that neither hurt nor itched: “You think staying in the shadow of Master Promi all your life is courage? Otherwise… come outside and we’ll see!”
After that, Blackjack turned his head and walked away while laughing towards the sky with his strange laughter “Bwahahaha.” Believing he had won a battle.
Forsa and Lafitte exchanged glances and followed up behind. Before leaving, Forsa smiled and said to Angel: “We’ll leave first. Next time, my brother will buy you a drink at the Pink Mother’s Bar!”
Angel made no response.
After these unimportant people left, David sighed and said: “Actually, 15 magic crystals is a really good price, ah. This knife… is truly difficult to increase in price again.”
Angel wasn’t very confident about this either, but he doesn’t care about small profits and said: “It doesn’t matter, you know, this kind of weapon is easy to refine. I think even you being able to refine this weapon is no problem.”
“I have no prior experience in weapon refining.” David said as he curled his lips.
“Don’t you want to work on alchemy with me? When the time comes, you can watch my process a couple of times, and you’ll get it.” Angel really appreciated David’s desperate efforts in saving him on the battle arena. The only thing Angel can use to repay him is his alchemy.
Moreover, Angel personally knows his alchemy stands on the shoulders of giants but just severely lacks experience. Working with David, he won’t only be able to ask David for advice, but also fulfil his desire of learning from David.
David smiled and replied: “Although I’m not interested in your music box. Please come by and work with me when you are doing alchemy.”
“Also, why haven’t you been at your house this past couple of days? Every time you finish a match. I head to your house and wait until midnight, but no one is ever home.” David said angrily.
“Err.” Angel wanted to say that the person he saw was 233, not him but said: “I’ve been living with my mentor recently and I’m moving back home today.”
“I almost forgot. Your mentor is… Lord Sanders. If I could personally be guided by him, I guess I wouldn’t want to leave Phantom Island for the rest of my life.” David recalls when Sanders suddenly appeared in front of them that day, and his heart was filled with shock to this day. He still hasn’t recovered from the shock: “I envy you, with the guidance of Lord Sanders. It is no wonder why you are so excellent.”
“Well, I don’t want to talk about it.” When it comes to this topic, David will always think of his previous mentor and simply want to change the topic altogether as he said: “What happened to your match with Parasitic Mother that day, and why did you suddenly faint?”
Now David has no feeling of admiration when he mentions Parasitic Mother, only feeling slight regret for her death.
“That woman…”
……
While Angel and David were talking, Blackjack and his two little brothers had already gone far away.
“That boy is so arrogant because of his support! I really want to hit him!” Lafitte saw that Blackjack kept a straight face and his eyes turned: “But what about Master Promi? In the future, our backer is Lord Blackjack and that boy will be unqualified to come and kneel or lick his feet.”
Forsa also helped by adding: “Even now many people want to kneel down and lick the Lord’s feet!”
Blackjack’s face was expressionless, but his resentment towards his little brothers has dissipated somewhat as he said: “Do you know that boy just now who was dressed similarly to me, but whose temperament and facial features are quite different from mine?”
“Are you talking about Angel? He is from the same group as us.” Forsa said.
“His outfit is quite good, but I don’t know where the design was customized. Did he wear this outfit before entering the Savage Grottoes?” Blackjack casually asked.
“Who will pay attention to how a man dresses…” Lafitte was pulled by Forsa before he finished speaking.
Then Forsa said to Blackjack: “I remember that Angel used to be an aristocrat. But as far as we know, he didn’t wear such a mature gentleman’s outfit before.”
Lafitte also seemed to remember something as he said: “He didn’t wear it before. But as far as I remember, his mentor seemed to wear something similar.”
“His mentor? Who is his mentor?” Blackjack asked with great interest.
“His mentor is the Southern Region’s god of war, Phantom Master Sanders! Speaking of which, his luck is really good. I don’t know what their relationship was like before. But Sanders looked at him differently even before he arrived at the Savage Grottoes.” Lafitte said with a touch of jealousy.
When Blackjack heard Sanders name, he stopped abruptly.
“What did you say?” With obstinacy and madness in his eyes. Blackjack suddenly grabbed Lafitte by the collar and pulled him to the front.
Lafitte, who didn’t understand the situation, innocently look at him and said: “I didn’t mean anything. I just said he was lucky…”
“Who, who is his mentor!? Who?!” Blackjack demanded.
Lafitte was startled by Blackjack’s crazy tone and somewhat stuttered: “Lllor… Lord Sanders.”
Blackjack suddenly pushed Lafitte aside and said: “I have long heard the news that Lord Sanders has received an apprentice. But I didn’t expect it to be that little fart! Damn it!”
Blackjack suddenly turned his head, put on a sullen expression and walked menacingly towards Promi Alchemy Shop!
“Eldest brother, what is wrong?” Lafitte asked.
“I’m going to kill that son of a bitch who dared to rob my position! Absolutely unforgivable!” Blackjack, with rage, used his indomitable momentum to head back to the shop and kill.
Forsa and Lafitte looked at each other, wondering what was going on. Rob your position? What position?
Also… Why do the elder brothers they worship always have to mess with Angel?!
As Blackjack was rushing back to Promi Alchemy Shop, a slightly chubby middle-aged man also stepped into the shop.
Before Blackjack could notice who the comer was, he directly turned and angrily shouted at Angel: “Get out of here, you son of a bitch. No one can save you today! I must cut you in half!”
As he spoke, Blackjack pulled out a card at the same time.
The face of the card was a withered man with a noose tied around his neck.
“Card—Death’s Invitation Reverse Hangman!” As his voice fell, an upside-down ghost emerged from the card and rushed frantically toward Angel with a noose in hand.
Angel looked impassively at the rushing phantom.
“Ballast!” A deep voice suddenly came from Blackjack’s side. Before Blackjack could react, he felt like he was kicked out of the shop.
At the same time, the card in his hand was cut in half by a knife while Blackjack spurted a mouthful of blood when the card was broken.
“Daring to start a fight in my shop. Blackjack, don’t think I’m afraid to kill you!” The voice yelled.
