"K-We would like to ask, can these items be exchanged for water and food, Mr Hades?"
The husband asked with a trace of fear in his eyes.
"Please put it here, let me check it out."
Together with Ark's words, the middle-aged man put down two medium-sized boxes and a small package.
Ark then opened it carefully. The young man nodded lightly when he said.
"A set of cutlery and a set of tea drinking utensils made of porcelain. Not only is it beautiful, the quality is also excellent.
While this pack, some jewelry?"
Hearing Ark's reply, the fat middle-aged couple felt somewhat relieved. It seems that what they brought is still acceptable.
"We can take it. But the price may not be in accordance with what you imagine. After all, in this chaotic world, luxury items like this were no more valuable than a piece of bread that could be used to connect lives."
"If you may know, how many of these things can be exchanged, Mr Hades?"
"Each set costs ten pieces of yam chips and half a glass of water. Two means twenty pieces of yam chips and a glass of water. If you sell both, I'll give you two pieces of meat jerky as a bonus.
Of course, what I mentioned was the highest price. Take it or not, it's up to you."
Lisa who was busy preparing some polybags to plant Silverstar Grass stared at Ark with her mouth agape. Fortunately, it was hidden behind his mask.
'Dark ... Truly a dark-hearted merchant!'
Thought the girl when she saw her shameless chairman. Keep deceiving people with straight expressions!
"Can the price not be raised, Mr Hades?" The middle-aged woman asked.
"You shut up, my dear wife."
The husband immediately interrupted. The man was really worried about the attitude that Ark might have taken. After all, not long ago he had his comrades kill people before their eyes.
"Don't worry, Mr and Mrs. Our Dark Caravan is a fair trader. Unless deemed a threat, we will not attack.
We have absolutely no intention of killing in order to seize the treasure. After all, we are traders.
Of course you can bargain. If it's a valuable herbal plant, maybe you can discuss the price. It's just, a luxury item that can't be sold anymore .. we can only put this much on the price."
Ark explained calmly.
'Of course it can't be sold! You will use it yourself. Even if it can be sold, you won't sell it.
Pshaw! Flipping through black and white at will. Totally matches the nickname of the dark-hearted merchant!'
Think Lisa's listening to Ark's explanation and lies.
"What about the gold and the jewels, Mr Hades?"
"We don't really want to accept it. Besides, it's not very useful. Can only be worn without any function."
Ark shook his head. After a while, he let out a long breath.
"If you want to sell those two sets of equipment, we are also willing to accept them. With a heavy heart, we would give four slices of meat jerky and a glass of water.
Of course, if you don't want to, it doesn't matter at all."
"We'll sell it!" say the husband firmly.
"Huh ..."
Ark took a long breath. He then took 20 pieces of yam chips, 6 pieces of meat jerky, and two glasses of water.
The young man then gave it away reluctantly while saying.
"Yes. This is not too bad business. It's quite a pleasure doing business with you guys."
The middle-aged couple looked at each other with happy faces. Feeling that you are winning a lot because you have bid.
"By the way, can we eat it here, Mr Hades? As you know, it's too dangerous to take him away."
"It's actually better to boil first. But if you want, I suggest eating jerky and drinking water.
Save the yam chips. When you're hungry, get clean water. You can boil it or it can be soaked. At least more satisfying."
"Together."
Afterwards, the middle-aged couple did as Ark said. After eating, drinking, and taking a short break, they finally left.
Ark then got into the carriage to arrange two boxes of exquisite cutlery and tea utensils. He then went to a corner, opening a vault. Put jewelry in it.
Lisa who saw a lot of gold jewelry inside the vault cursed in her heart.
'Ah! What a heavy heart receives gold! Just tell me you'd rather cheat on their jewelry!
Basic black-hearted merchant, shameless collector!'
Sensing Lisa's fierce gaze, Ark asked in a monotonous tone.
"Do you have a problem, Tamer?"
"Of course not, Mr. Hades!" lisa said with a sweet tone.
Yep. At least he kept acting sweet in front of the Ark. Although angry, but the little gold fan was also waiting for them to go home and then split the spoils.
Clearly, she and Stacy have a priority to pick out the "little souvenir!
Ark who knew what Lisa was thinking just shook his head. He did not scold the girl at all. Lisa is not wrong. Just amazed at how he cheats .. uhuk! Meaning trading.
After waiting for quite a while, Stacy and Darin finally finished cleaning up. They waited for quite a while, and the figure of the boy returned while carrying a sizable bundle of cloth.
Up in front of the Ark, he placed it on the ground and opened it. Showing four Silverstar Grass. Bigger than the boy had brought before. In fact, it looked quite a lot of mature leaves. Ready to be harvested and used!
Ark's eyes sparkled, but he still looked calm.
"Is it just this? There's nothing else?"
"I'm sorry, Mr. Hades. There are only five grasses in total. Is it less?"
The boy asked in a nervous tone.
"Of course not. The commission to escort you only requires four Silverstar Grass. Actually only three and a half, but because the grass can not be cut in half, so that half will be replaced with food and half a glass of water."
"Really, Mr Hades?!"
The boy's eyes sparkled. It was truly unexpected that the sparkling and strange-looking grass was a treasure. I feel so lucky to have found it!
"Of course it's true. What about the rest of the grass? Will you sell it too?"
"Of course!"
"Good." Ark nodded. "It's good to do business with you, little brother."
"I feel lucky, Mr. Hades!"
"..."
Looking at the conversation between the two, Lisa could not take it anymore. In the end he only took out Silverstar Grass and replanted it without saying a word. Can only quietly grieve for the boy.
"Because it's noon, let's eat first."
Ark then cooked on a small artificial stove. Heat water to boil potatoes and meat. He then gave three slices of potatoes and two slices of meat to each member of the group.
They eat in the car. Meanwhile, Ark also gave a portion of food to the boy earlier.
The boy really ate well. She even cried after she finished eating and drinking. Feel very grateful!
After lunch, Ark asked his colleagues to pack. After that, he asked the boy to sit near Darin. Let him sit by the coachman so as not to see the things in the carriage.
Of course, the boy instead felt very happy to see Debby, a figure he considered a "monster" pulling a carriage.
Really had an amazing experience!
Thus, they continued their journey. Immediately rushed towards the new headquarters of Silver Cross.
Intend to meet with Julian and his comrades!
