"I… I already have the money?"
Nux spoke with a surprised look on his face.
"…." Melia frowned in confusion.
Soon, Nux came out of reverie and laughed out loud,
"That is correct.
Hahaha~
We can sell those Beasts' bodies, how can I forget that."
"Nux… sometimes, you act strangely…"
"Hahaha~ My bad."
Nux laughed it off.
"So? Where do I sell them?"
"Let's go to the merchant guild. They would buy it from us at a comparatively lower price, but it is better than wasting our time in finding the customers."
Astaria spoke up.
Nux nodded in understanding.
The group then decided to go to the Merchant Guild.
Just like the Ancestral Order, the Merchant Guild was pretty lively as well, however, unlike how people seemed to be just messing around, drinking beer inside the Ancestral Order, the people here seemed to be… working.
Some were selling their goods, some were buying stuff and all the counters had big lines so Nux and his group had to wait for quite a while.
"We want to sell some Beasts' bodies."
Astaria spoke when it was finally their turn.
"Show the bodies, we will decide how much we will give you after looking at the condition the body is in."
The woman sitting at the counter spoke.
"Well, you would need a bigger place," Astaria spoke.
"A bigger place?" The woman glanced at Astaria and frowned.
She recognized her.
She was the sword girl.
She has participated in Arena Battles and comes here quite often to sell the beasts she hunted, so the woman knew that Astaria wasn't joking around.
"How many beasts do you wish to sell?"
"One Thousand 10 Star beasts."
"WHAT!?"
Astaria revealed and the woman's shouted in surprise, attracting everyone's attention.
"How much did you say!?"
"One thousand 10 Star beasts."
Astaria repeated herself.
The woman then looked around,
"W-Wait for a while, I can't handle this request, I need to call the manager."
Saying those words, she ran away.
"It is quite a big deal huh…"
Nux commented.
"We are talking about 1000 Semi Saint level Beasts Nux, it is obviously a very big deal."
Amaya replied.
"Yes, you are talking about selling the dead bodies of beasts who can flatten countless cities within a matter of days if they somehow decided to attack together."
Astaria nodded.
"Then it is good that we aren't selling all the 10,000 of them here." Nux chuckled.
"Don't even think about doing that," Melia spoke with a serious look on her face.
"You are not allowed to sell any of those 9000 bodies for the next few decades."
"I understand."
Nux nodded in understanding.
"A-Are you the ones who wanted to sell t-those 1000 bodies?" Suddenly, a man rushed towards Nux's group. From his face, it looked like he rushed here the moment he heard about them.
"That is correct," Astaria replied.
"W-We can't talk here.
P-Please come with me." The man spoke as he pointed his hands in a particular direction.
Nux's group walked away with the manager, attracting quite a lot of attention again.
…
"D-Do you really have 10 Star Beasts' bodies…? 1000 of them?"
The Manager took them to a huge room that seemed to have been built for the purpose of inspecting the numerous number of Beasts' bodies that often comes here.
"Should I show it to you?"
Nux questioned.
"P-Please do."
The manager spoke.
Nux shrugged, then, he waves his hand and 1000 corpses fell out of his Storage ring.
"!!!"
Seeing those bodies, the manager's eyes widened in horror.
"Silver Star Ape… Fiery Flames Mamoth… Death Leon…"
He could recognize most of these beasts…
All these beasts… they instilled fear in the hearts of anyone who sees them… Just their one gaze was enough to make the bravest men cower in fear…
Even when all of them were clearly dead, their body still radiated a fearsome and heavy aura that had spread all over the room.
And… and yet… this man… he was just showing their dead bodies like it was nothing…
Just… who were these people…?
How did they manage to get their hands on so many bodies?
Even the strongest person amongst them was only a Great Sage…
How in the hell did they…
Just… just where did they come from?
Which power did they belong to?
The manager's mind was filled with different questions.
However, rather than being curious… he was… scared…
These people… who had an otherworldly appearance…
They now looked like horrifying monsters in his eyes…
'I need to make sure not to get into their bad eyes…
I do not care whether they stole it, or whatever, the fact that they possess something like this is enough proof that they are not normal…
I-I absolutely cannot offend them…'
*Gulp*
The manager gulped inwardly.
"Oi, Manager."
"H-Huh? W-Wha- Yes.?"
"When are you going to start your inspection?" Nux questioned.
"A-Ah, right. I-I do not need to i-inspect it.
They are definitely 10 Star beasts…
E-Even if they are dead, I c-can sense their fearsome A-Auras."
"So are you going to buy it?"
"O-Of course.
However, I fear that I do not have enough capability to know their value,
How about this?
I will give you 10,000,000 Eons right now, and once we manage to sell these bodies, we will share a 10% profit with you.
W-Would that work?"
"10,000,000 Eons?" Nux raised his eyebrow.
Seeing his expression, the manager's heart skipped a beat,
"T-That's the most I can give you right now, M-My lord. I-Is that too less? S-Should I increase the profit s-share to 20%?"
He questioned.
One didn't have to look at his pale face to see how scared this man was.
Nux, on the other hand, glanced at Melia with a deadpan look on his face.
'1,000,000 Eons, really?'
That was what his expression was saying.
Melia turned her face away in embarrassment.
Well… She was a princess of one of the strongest powers in this world.
So it was alright for her to mess up the value of certain things a little, right?
"T-This is r-really the highest I-I can go, m-my Lord."
Seeing that Nux was still silent, the manager was now even more scared. Even his body had started trembling.
Nux quickly realized what he was thinking and shook his head,
"Don't worry, 10% is enough, you don't need to give 20%,
Let's finalize the deal."
