Chapter 44 - Gaining A Fortune



Chapter 44 – Gaining A Fortune

Jason wiped away the tears on his cheek, before turning to Mr. Fler.

Forcing a smile he said “That’s nice. I hope my gut feeling was correct”

Mark wasn´t exactly sure what to say, as the situation was still awkward, as such he just did what he was supposed to do.

“Indeed this scaled wolf is quite special among but I wonder how you figured it out. This scaled wolf is really special.”

As he put the sleeping scaled wolf back into the smaller cage.

Sitting down next to Gabriella who also sat back on the couch he continued saying.

“This scaled wolf underwent a mutation strengthening its mana core slightly compared to its brethren increasing its limitation to a five-star wild beast which is already good enough to sell it to a breeder but that’s not all because there is something else special about this scaled wolf.

It’s not entirely sure but the scaled wolf is also in the development phase of its second mutation already and a fire ability seed is unexpectedly forming inside its mana core, creating a fire affinity.

Following that, the potential test, scales, and measurements are also indicating that this scaled wolf has the potential to reach at least the mid-awakened stage, probably higher but we have to make some deeper tests to figure out more.

This will at least take a few days. “

Mark Fler was managing the whole beast trading and seeking out how to detect a beast’s potential while his wife was good at catching beasts and scheduling everything.

Mrs. Fler began deciding their schedule for the next two weeks.

“The holidays are over in two weeks and school will start right after.

Jason, your application won’t take long but some time to adjust to an A-grade city is important for both you and Greg.

We want to depart in five days and the trip will take around three days.

If the profound test of the scaled wolf is finished before our departure, we can sell it through our connections for a good price.

Otherwise we can take it with us as our vehicle is large enough to take a few larger beast cages with us.

But we can already estimate a price for the scaled wolf as its potential is quite promising and pay you the amount..”

Jason listened carefully nodding all the time until the talk about credits began.

“Oh.. is it really okay to pay me before the beast is even sold? And am I allowed to know how the price is calculated?”

Thinking for a second she nodded her head before replying:

“Well, I can obviously tell you how the price is calculated because it is not a secret and everyone can research it online but this includes only the price range provided by the government and not the price nobles would pay to get a better soulbond to supply their descendantss.

One would rather form a contract with a beast which naturally provides soul energy and still grows in strength than a beast with an already used up potential.”

Thinking for a moment, Gabriella continued

“Some nobles have weak soul energy like you and they would rather form a contract with a matured two-star wild beast which has the high chance to grow into an awakened or maybe even evolved beast.

Adding on the fact that it was already known which ability the scaled wolf would definitely get, the price would only soar higher. as this is one of the most important things one would have to reconsider when forming a soulbond with a high potential wild beast.”

There weren’t many problems with a beast awakening an elemental ability but once the contractor doesn´t have the compatible affinities from ones to it, their connections would go off the rails and only worsen.

It wouldn’t completely destroy the connection between each other but even the amplification provided by this beast would worsen slightly.

Sometimes there are beasts with multiple elements after evolving but only one of these abilities has to be in sync with the contractor which was in the scaled wolf´s case a fire soul affinity.

“As for the payment, you can look at it like we purchase the scaled wolf from you with with a little higher price, than the government would provide and we continue to sell it through our channels.

This would benefit both of us and we could maintain it like this for the future if you like it.

If you don’t like it this way, you can sell the scaled wolf yourself to someone but I think my solution is more efficient for everyone. “

Jason thought this was more than fair for both of them and he was expectant about the scaled wolf´s price. He had already suppressed his sadness from before and was totally focused on the situation in front of him.

“I think that would be the best for both of us….this might sound greedy but can we maybe calculate the price for a wild beast with the potential to reach the evolved rank? I´m pretty sure the test will tell the same. If I´m wrong, I will compensate Mr. and Mrs. Fler with everything you paid me”

He was somehow in need of money as he couldn’t even compare slightly to his future classmates and right now his whole fortune was only around 1000 Credits which was nothing in comparison to each and everyone in an A-grade city but he was confident in the ability of his eyes and trusted them completely.

Mr. and Mrs. Fler were astonished but there was no need to reject his proposal as the test results would be out in a few days and after that Jason would need to come back to them for their trip to the A-grade city, even if Jason´s gut-feeling was wrong.

If he wanted to run away, nobody would hinder him as attending a prestigious school was much more valuable than some credits, one could gain by selling a wild best with an evolved rank potential.

Mrs. Fler answered with a gentle smile as she saw Jason´s impatience and small sweat pearls running down his temples.

“Of course, we can pay you the price for a wild beast with the potential of two rank ups including its mutation and the shaping of a fire seed inside its mana core. If its potential turns out to be worse you can pay us back the difference later on.

But more importantly…You can call me Gabriella. I don’t like getting called Mrs. Fler. It sounds so distant and you’re a friend of my children.”

She knew he was short of money through the background check and that Greg had already explained Jason about the average strength of his future classmates.

Furthermore, she also knew something about Jason´s eyes as Greg told her what Jason said during the soul-awakening.

She was aware that it should be a secret but Greg told her everything and he couldn’t keep a secret from her.

Mr.Fler next to his wife also replied calm but also somehow emotionless.

“If you want you can also call me Mark. There is no need to be overly polite.”

Jason began to smile and thanked both of them for their generosity to pay him without seeing the final result.

He wasn’t sure if he could call both of them by their first name but he would try later on.

Malia and Greg came out from behind the pillar and sat back down to the couch next to Jason with daggers in their eyes, piercing their parents.

Mark didn´t know what happened but he had a faint premonition, while Gabriella tried talking to them with guilt in her voice.

Jason took down Artemis from his head and put her down on his lap where she snuggled up against his hands.

In front of Mark appeared a holographic screen and it looked like he tried to avoid getting stabbed with his children `glare of death` and tapped around a few times until a satisfying number appeared.

“If we consider the scaled wolf as a matured two-star beast with the potential to reach the evolved rank, two rank ups, adding the price for a pre establishment of a fire affinity….the price for this scaled wolf would be around 800.000 Credits if the government bought them.

It’s extremely rare to see a wild beast with potential which is why the price is this high, high nobles would pay much more and my wife already said that we will offer more than the government.

I think 1.000.000 Credits should be more than satisfying, won’t it?”
