Chapter 208: Chapter 208: Colton Returns
Zane came to the Seven Kingdoms Merchant Association today and suffered quite a bit. He lost more than half of the gold coins he had painstakingly saved up, and when he returned home, he would have to face his father's punishment.
Because of this, Zane was very concerned about Charles's gains. He hoped that Charles had misjudged the situation.
After all, the hardest thing for him to accept was that while he was losing money, his enemy not only didn't lose anything but also made a substantial profit.
Charles noticed Daniel Long's curious gaze and slowly began to speak, "I didn't buy much, just happened to come across the hide of an eighth-tier ferocious beast and bought it."
"What? Eighth-tier ferocious beast hide? Mr. Charles, how much did you spend on it? Don't try to deceive me." Daniel Long said with some concern.
He knew that Charles had managed to make Zane suffer a significant loss, so he must have some tricks up his sleeve. However, the item exchange market was filled with cunning stall owners.
These people's tactics are so crafty that even the professional appraisers at the Genosha branch of the Seven Kingdoms Merchant Association can't be 100% sure they can see through them.
Charles raised his hand and gestured simply, replying, "I only spent five gold coins. It's not much."
"That's not too bad, five gold coins for a lesson learned is quite reasonable." Daniel Long sighed with relief.
When he heard Charles mention spending five gold coins, he had already concluded in his mind.
The so-called beast hide must be fake, after all, the hide of an eighth-tier ferocious beast would cost at least twenty gold coins!
"The small auction will start shortly, Mr. Charles. Rest assured, all the items being auctioned have been uniformly appraised. For any unknown items, the Seven Kingdoms Merchant Association will provide prior notice." Daniel Long kindly reminded him.
Charles scratched his head and thought about it, he felt that Daniel Long might have misunderstood, but he didn't bother to explain further.
Celestine, who was linked arm-in-arm with Charles, seemed displeased. She noticed Zane's expression at the elevator entrance, which bore a look of schadenfreude.
"Charles didn't suffer a loss at all. That eighth-tier ferocious beast hide has already been sold for a total of thirty gold coins." Celestine explained briefly.
She didn't want others to think that Charles had misjudged the item and incurred a loss.
An outstanding person should become even more exceptional amid the shock and admiration of the crowd!
"Sold for thirty gold coins? Was that really an eighth-tier ferocious beast hide?" Daniel Long exclaimed, his mouth agape as he turned to look at Charles, clearly astonished.
Countless people came to the item exchange market, hoping to buy high-value items at low prices and get rich overnight.
But here was eighteen-year-old Charles, who had directly turned five gold coins into thirty!
At this moment, Zane was starting to lose his composure, his expression went blank.
Initially reluctant to speak, he couldn't help but say, "You didn't sell that hide to an idiot, did you? There must be something wrong with it."
"What do you mean, sold it to an idiot?" Celestine immediately asked loudly.
Still not able to tolerate anyone trying to belittle Charles. Charles might not care, but Celestine was very sensitive about these matters.
"What's wrong? Did I hit the nail on the head? What kind of normal person would spend thirty gold coins on something Charles bought for five? They must have a screw loose." Zane insisted firmly.
At that moment, footsteps echoed from the corridor behind them, accompanied by a familiar voice.
"Excuse me, but my brain is perfectly fine." said none other than the person who bought the beast hide, David Qi!
When Zane saw someone rebutting him, especially someone he had never seen before, he instantly felt irked and responded harshly, "Who are you?"
As the president of the Genosha branch of the Seven Kingdoms Merchant Association, Daniel Long knew many people, and he immediately recognized David Qi.
"David Qi, I didn't expect you to be here." Daniel Long said, his tone markedly different from Zane's, full of respect.
Although David Qi was not a high-tier Beast Master, his status in the field of Beast Mastery knowledge was unmatched in all of Genosha.
Moreover, a scholar of Beast Mastery like him knows many high-tier Beast Masters.
Seeing Daniel Long's attitude, Zane, no matter how dim-witted, sensed something was off.
He wanted to say something, but David Qi interjected, "I'm just an ordinary Beast Mastery scholar. A person who studies Beast Mastery knowledge should have a functioning brain."
Upon hearing this, sweat formed on Zane's forehead.
Images of people who matched his status flashed through his mind, and he ultimately confirmed that the person before him was David Qi, someone even the head of the Taylor family would treat with respect.
"David Qi, I wasn't talking about you just now, please don't take it personally." Zane quickly backpedaled, filled with regret for having spoken up.
He realized that every time Charles was present, his words would lead to trouble.
"Actually, I did buy that hide from Charles. It's just that my brain is just fine, it truly is a rare high-tier ferocious beast hide with significant re
A few minutes later.
Inside the bamboo cabin at Cyber Academy, Colton had just finished crafting a miracle drug.
He handed the miracle drug to Charles and said:
"Ezra has shown some responsibility as a teacher. This is for you, so take good care of it. I have some more miracle drugs here for you as well, they might help in a crisis."
Charles looked at the information prompt before him:
[Purification Miracle Drug]
[Grade]: Orange Quality
[Description]: Taking this miracle drug can resist contamination, purify most negative states, and maintain the user's rationality and mental calmness.
The description of the Purification Miracle Drug was very straightforward, but its effects were undeniably powerful. It was clearly prepared specifically for Charles by Colton.
