Chapter 97 A Belated Birthday Present To Song Yue?
After his first business with Mark was finished, the second prince reminds him about the promise.
Mark remembers it very well and is also looking forward to fulfilling it.
He nodded in response and said, "The corpses of the beasts are still with me but their size is too big to take them out. The stores will be destroyed."
Upon hearing it, the second prince waved his hands, "this area is already destroyed very much and everyone will be compensated in the future, might as well level it down. Once you prove yourself innocent during the trial, perhaps, this area will get a redevelopment with wider roads."
"Well, if you insist, then, who am I to reject it." Mark shrugged his shoulders and sent a message to Allen through the system.
Allen returned to the store while Alina keep on the lookout for possible attacks.
"So, how much price are you willing to offer?" Mark then asked him upon realizing that they haven't even negotiated any price.
The second prince answered, "I don't want to haggle over the prices. I'll just quote the maximum price according to the market. The highest price for a 6-circle realm beast in the market is about 50,000 gold coins. Considering that Orthus beast is of one grade higher, a fierce beast, I'll make the price double. For the core, I'll give another 150,000."
He then raised five fingers, "Overall, 500 thousand gold coins for both of the corpses with their cores intact. If you are willing, we can immediately complete the deal."
"The difference between 6-circle and 7-circle is like heaven and earth," Mark mumbled to himself.
He had an idea that the body parts of the 6-circle beasts can only be used for making gold grade weapons while 7-circle beasts can be used to forge a platinum grade if it's a fierce beast or a beast king.
But, knowing it and experiencing it are two different things.
Adding on top of it, Mark doesn't know the current market prices but for some reason, he had a strong feeling like the second prince isn't the type to dupe him. He looked more like a straightforward character.
Thinking that the beast corpses were just a bonus anyway, Mark gave a nod to it and asked Allen to give them instead as he doesn't want to get out.
Song Yue and Shang Wen were taken aback by this move of Mark for they never expected such expensive things are given to a servant. Not knowing the reality about the inventory, they felt Mark must have really trusted Allen to keep the corpses with him.
While Song Yue stayed back at the store, the second prince followed Allen outside.
After moving far away from the store, Allen released the two headless corpses of 300 ft big in width and 700ft size in length from the inventory, leveling down several stores and residences as a result.
A few spies who are observing the situation from a distance were stunned to watch the scene. They intended to report to the Crown Prince of this matter.
Upon confirming the cores are intact, the second prince handed him an unbound storage ring that contained the gold coins.
With just a simple scan, Allen confirmed the amount, and the second prince stored the beasts in his own storage ring.
Meanwhile, inside the store, there was an awkward silence between Song Yue and Mark. Neither of them knows what to talk about.
While Song Yue appeared to be hesitating to talk, Mark tried to initiate the conversation with an apology, "I heard that your father was in a state of coma, I mean deep sleep. I didn't expect it would turn out like this. I'm sorry."
He heard from Lin Xue about how Song Yue was the one that requested the fiancée and the fake prince to leave this matter.
While maybe, in her eyes, it was returning the favor but for Mark, it is a favor, indeed as at that time, he doesn't have any attack helicopter or Alina. If Bai Xun would have come to apprehend him, Mark knew that he would have to shut down his store and hide until he gets an opportunity to escape.
Not to mention, she's the store's first customer and one can say, she started the chain reaction that improved the store's fame and wealth by several folds.
He was also thankful to her from the start.
At the same time, he doesn't want her to misunderstand that he was trying to appease her or something. He added, "However, I don't regret my actions because I can't let anyone threaten me or my family members and trample on my dignity no matter who it is."
Song Yue slowly opened her mouth, "I know and I won't blame you either. I just blame the situation where respect isn't given based on one's age or actions but is given for strength and social status."
Mark was a little bit embarrassed when he heard it but he controlled his expression and thanked her.
When he felt the situation return to normal, he once again became a businessman, "Lady Song, I wonder if you are still using the firearms, I meant that revolver."
"Xue Xue… I mean, Lin Xue is daily sending me 100 bullets, a part of those she buys here. So, I was never out of it but these days, I'm staying at Bai Mansion. So, I refrain myself making trouble for the others. It makes huge noise you know." All of a sudden, Song Yue started to speak normally. It looked like that awkward atmosphere earlier never existed.
For some reason, Mark was also delighted when she saw a smile on this special customer.
He attempted to sell his exclusive weapon, which she was eligible to buy as she had a level-2 affinity with the store.
"Lady Song, this is called Nighthawk Tomahawk Shotgun, or you can simply call Shotgun. This is the newest of the firearms, an exclusive weapon. It hasn't been sold to anyone yet." As Mark was explaining about the shotgun and its ammo's power, Song Yue's eyes lit up and went into a trance. She couldn't believe that there existed an ungraded weapon that can kill a 3-circle realm expert and even injure a 4-circle realm expert.
As she took into her hands to get the feel, the second prince and Allen returned to the store.
Allen handed him the storage ring and the second prince looked at the shotgun, "Sister Yue, are you interested in that weapon? That bullet released from it…"
"12 gauge ammunition or you can call it Shotgun pellet." Mark corrected him.
"Yeah, whatever that is, I have seen its power. You can indeed protect yourself. I'll buy it for you." The second prince offered to buy it for her after promoting it.
Before Song Yue gave her reply, Mark interrupted, "Your Highness isn't qualified to buy the second exclusive weapon. I believe I mentioned it before at the camp. According to the rules of the store, only the customer with more than 10,000 gold coins of the transaction can buy it. I cannot break the rules, I apologize."
A frown appeared on the second prince as he reminded Mark about the 500 thousand gold coins transaction, to which, the latter replied that the transaction was a personal deal and has nothing to do with the store.
He pointed at Song Yue in surprise, "then, she bought more than 10000 gold worth of weapons, here?" He looked at her.
As Song Yue shook her head, Mark, who couldn't say about the mission, gave an excuse, "I can give her as a present, though."
"Eh? A present?" While Song Yue was pleasantly surprised, knowing that Mark is the type who wouldn't want to suffer a loss, Mark gave another excuse, "something like a belated birthday present? This will not break the rules of the store. Moreover, I made a huge profit anyway."
Mark then gave her the Shotgun and about 50 of 12-gauge ammunition, suffering 100 gold coins of loss. But, he was so rich at the moment that he didn't feel much.
"Thank you." She gave a beautiful smile as she stored them in her ring.
"You're welcome," Mark also smiled.
Meanwhile, the second prince darted his eyes left and right, wondering whether there's something really is going on between the two of them. For a moment, he wondered whether Zhang Clan's accusation of Song Yue and Mark is indeed true.
After all, no matter how kind one is, it is truly weird to converse with a person that sent one's father into a deep sleep.
