CHAPTER TEXT:
“Twenty sixth-grade magic crystals?” Ye Zhongming began to inquire about the price.
There were two evolvers responsible for selling goods in this room, a man and a woman, both young and evidently lacking battle experience, both at the three-star level. However, they were handsome and elegant in their demeanor.
Hearing Ye Zhongming’s inquiry, the female salesperson, closest to him, smiled and started to provide a detailed introduction of the Ice Mountain Snow Lotus, including its uses and dosages. It seemed they had plenty of experience with such items.
But just as she was about to finish the introduction, the male salesperson, who had been busy on the other side, walked over and gently tugged at the female salesperson. She turned to see two children standing behind Ye Zhongming and his companions, whom she had missed due to her angle.
The smile on her face faded slightly, and her explanation hurried to a close. Instead of asking Ye Zhongming if he wanted to buy, her gaze shifted to the entrance of the hall, looking for new customers.
This caused Ye Zhongming to frown.
The male salesperson's subtle actions did not escape his notice. He understood the sudden change in the female salesperson's attitude was because she saw Xiao Xuan and his friends, knowing it was impossible to take advantage of him, prompting her to adopt a cold treatment.
Ye Zhongming didn’t know how they obtained this item, but since Xiao Xuan’s friend offered a price of seven magic crystals, it indicated that this item typically sold for seven sixth-grade magic crystals to people in Black Dragon City, which still allowed for profit.
Since there was profit to be made, did they really push customers away just because they felt the earnings were too low?
At Ye Zhongming’s level, it seemed his temper had grown better, but in reality, he disdained to haggle with ordinary evolvers, which felt beneath him.
However, that does not mean he would smile through provocation or silently endure it.
After all, he was one of the most powerful humans in this national region, even on this planet.
“How much do you sell it for?”
By the time Ye Zhongming said this, his tone had already turned somewhat cold.
The female salesperson glanced at him and stiffly replied, “Twenty sixth-grade magic crystals, no bargaining!”
“Bullying outsiders?” Xiao Peng leaned forward slightly, his aura slowly radiating. Now an eight-star evolver, he was the obvious boss at the Linhai branch, and when it came to a fierce demeanor, he was definitely among the top in Cloud Summit’s core members.
Although the female salesperson didn’t understand aura, she sensed a bit of fear and, with a look of panic on her face, said, “Twenty, fifteen sixth-grade magic crystals, I can’t go lower.”
Ye Zhongming, expressionless, looked at the Ice Mountain Snow Lotus displayed on the counter.
He didn’t want to bully the weak for no reason; in fact, he had sympathy for those with thoughts and principles, like Xiao Xuan.
But once he didn’t want to abide by the rules, he had no reservations.
Since he had set his sights on this item, he had to obtain it; the Ice Mountain Snow Lotus was useful to him and to Cloud Summit.
Ye Zhongming's intentions were clear, and the two salespeople quickly realized, shouting for guards. Within seconds, a crowd flooded into the room, including five guards and several other customers, totaling more than twenty inside and outside.
After briefly hearing the situation from the female salesperson, the captain of the guards looked at Ye Zhongming with a cold attitude and said, “Friend, this is Pinnacle Pavilion.”
The meaning was clear, don’t cause trouble here; this is not a place for it.
Ye Zhongming’s eyebrows twitched upon hearing this.
The King of Cloud Summit was treated unfairly and was even being threatened.
“I want this item, seven sixth-grade magic crystals.”
To be honest, even if the female salesperson continued to haggle with him after noticing Xiao Xuan’s friends, Ye Zhongming wouldn’t have minded spending a few more magic crystals. But the way these people looked as if they wouldn’t sell unless it was profitable was infuriating, and now someone was warning him not to cause trouble—this felt like bullying.
