Summoners War: Only I Summoned Divine Beasts - Chapter 1211: Finishing the Transaction
Chapter 1211: Finishing the Transaction
“This is everything you have bought.” Manager Max handed over all the items.
Nathan nodded. He had spent over 500 million on all these items. The elite class core alone cost him 120 million. “Thank you.”
“I should be the one thanking you, Miss Kaelina.” Manager Max definitely didn’t expect he would get this much money. He originally expected 1 billion from all auctioned items, but thanks to Nathan, that number had increased to 1.4 billion.
Of course, he only got the fee of the auctioned items, but the number had increased by 40%.
Nathan, on the other hand, was satisfied with the items he got here. Still, there was one thing left for him.
“Manager Max. I heard you have acquired a certain manual recently…”
“Manuals? Are you perhaps talking about those techniques? But you have bought everything.”
“No, I’m talking about medicine.”
“!!!” Max widened his eyes in surprise. He thought for a moment before nodding his head. “I do.”
“How about I take it off your hands?” Nathan observed his reaction, wondering if he was willing to sell it or not.
“May I know the reason?” Max asked. Nathan had been buying everything except things related to medicine. No herbs or drugs, yet he came to ask him for this type of manual, which made him think if there was another intention he hadn’t seen yet.
Unfortunately for him, Nathan remained silent. He continued staring at him as if telling him, ‘I won’t divulge my reason. I just want to know whether you are going to sell it or not.’
Max understood this gaze a lot. It looked like he had pried more than he should have. After considering the situation, Max moved to his table and took out a notebook. “This is the manual from a famous apothecary called Karl Max. He is known for his improvement of the organ recovery drug.
“Originally, a certain family was searching for this drug, but that family crumbled and couldn’t pay for the service due to the volcanic eruption.
“As a result, this book was delivered to me and still had no owner. I was thinking about auctioning this book, but…”
Manager Max shrugged. “You know? The price of herbs has increased significantly ever since the ash clouds arrived. It killed most herbs, and cultivating them has become close to impossible. So, we had no choice.”
Nathan nodded in understanding. “So, the book has decreased in value.”
“Yes. If not for the ash cloud, the book could be valued at 200 million. After all, this is the famous notebook that is said to help the recovery of a summoner at the crystal fusion stage with their organs.
“Now that cultivating herbs has become unceasingly difficult, I don’t think anyone will buy it even if I sell it for 50 million.
“That’s why I will keep it with me for now. Besides, we have the same name, Max.” Manager Max ended it with a small joke.
Nathan crossed his arms. “How about I buy it for you at full price? 200 million.”
“!!!” Max was startled. “Are you serious?”
“Yes. All I request is that you keep this matter secret.”
Max squinted his eyes, observing Nathan for a minute. Ultimately, Max smiled and said, “It appears that I’ve lost the book somewhere. Maybe I had thrown that book into the fireplace to keep me warm.”
Nathan smiled. “I appreciate your service. I will just give some tips to you. 205 million. 5 million for the girl who has helped me bid, if you don’t mind.”
“Of course. I’m sure everyone will be happy.” Max raised one finger. “However, I have to warn you. It looks like you have done a bit too much during the auction. How about I send the items to your inn? While I do that, you should travel in the opposite direction.
“This way, Baron Ragnett will think you are still waiting for your items.”
It appeared Max wanted him to slip out of this city before it turned ugly. Nathan might not be scared of this baron, but it was better not to have a conflict.
“You don’t have to worry about that, Manager Max. I can leave this city whenever I want to, but I appreciate the warning.”
“If that’s the case, I won’t say another word. Thank you for your patronage.”
Nathan nodded and exited the room.
…
As Manager Max predicted, Nathan returned to his inn as usual with a group of people watching him.
A middle-aged man entered the room, reporting to a man in his early thirties with a huge belly.
“Sir. We have a report that the woman has entered the inn.”
“All right.” The baron squinted his eyes, recalling what had happened earlier. “Bring her to me.”
…
An hour ago.
The baron stood in Nathan’s way, glaring at him.
“You bitch. How dare you buy the things I wanted?”
Nathan actually smiled as if he were enjoying the current situation. He asked, “Isn’t the auction house a place where you fight with money? If you have money, buy it.”
“Do you know who I am?”
“I should say the same thing to you.” Nathan rolled his eyes.
“You-!” When he was about to reach Nathan’s wrist, Manager Max suddenly rushed to them while raising his voice. “Stop!”
All eyes shifted to him. “Baron Ragnett. This is my auction house. If you have any business other than things related to the house, you should take it outside. I won’t tolerate anything inside this place.”
“You…” Ragnett gritted his teeth, seething with rage. Yet, he snorted and walked away as if he didn’t dare to provoke Max.
It was at that time that Nathan was taken into Max’s office to protect him.
When the baron remembered that scene, he smiled evilly. “That bitch has money. And that looks… that body… In the end, she’s just a commoner. We can get everything she has. With the world in this situation, even the dynasty won’t have any resources to maintain the order.”
That was what was supposed to happen, except for the fact that his subordinate returned with a report. “Sir… The woman is gone.”
“!!!”
