Chapter 138: Was eating all they cared about?
“Congratulations number 4, you have won the bid for this miracle potion.
You can go around back to make your payment and collect your goods.” Alice grinned.
She didn’t know how Leo did it but she was proud.
Those losers could suck on their thumbs for all she cared.
She could feel their managing gaze on her.
Envious gaze and the words Micheal told her replayed in her head, ‘There’s such a thing called cornering.’ As much as she understood that term, she felt she was currently becoming the target of this ‘cornering’.
Their dangerous and bleeding eyes, filled with greed, told her just how much they wanted that product.
‘Well, they can’t corner what’s not there, right?’ she smirked and uncrossed her legs, standing to her feet.
She walked away and headed to the back where the transactions were being carried out.
“Please, make your payment here.” An attendant told her and she closed her eyes for a while and then said, “Before that, could I speak to your manager?” She asked and he looked at her oddly.
“I’m sorry but that’s against the rules.” He said.
“You have to pay up before any further deals.” “I’m not trying to strike a deal.” She asked, folding her arms.
“I just need to confirm something before I make the payment.
I’m just being thorough here, you understand?” The masked attendant felt like he was being put on the spot since this sort of thing wasn’t allowed.
Yet, it didn’t look like Alice would comply.
Someone who was buying goods worth 3 billion should be considered a VIP and treated with utmost care, so they could come again and do business with them.
He gulped, nodded, and said, “I understand.
Please, hold on a moment.” He pointed at the waiting chair and she nodded.
She sat down and looked at the two buff guards standing next to her loot.
The chest had over a thousand bottles of demon blood, which humans craved to consume.
“Sup,” she said but they did not respond.
With her third eye, she could see their levels were high and of course, they had demon blood running through their veins.
Seems like they were already using the product.
They might’ve acted as the guinea pigs.
‘So, Leo, what’s next?’ *I think I can find something equally valuable to 3 billion.
Just give me a moment.* ‘Wait, I thought we weren’t paying.’ *We need to be prepared for the inevitable.* He said.
*We don’t know what might happen after you meet the manager.
So, better to be prepared.* ‘Alright, you do that.
Follow new episodes on the "N0vel1st.c0m".
I’ll try to remain imposing.’ she said, releasing only a little bit of aura that could intimidate these guards.
“Ah, I heard someone was looking for me.” A guy said as she walked in and she turned her gaze to him.
He was a fat guy, and she wondered why these rich guys were bloated with fat.
Were they pigs?
Was eating all they cared about?
*Ahem* Leo cleared his throat.
*Let’s not use that thought.
After all, I guarantee you eat more than them.* ‘Don’t say another word, Leo.’ she threatened.
“And who may you be?” The manager asked and sat opposite her.
His eyes fell on the box and he grinned.
He wasn’t wearing a mask.
Probably didn’t need to.
Or…
His face was a mask on its own.
Alice could see that there was another layer outside his skin.
So, the probability that he wasn’t a fat slob and was just using this as a cover to hide his identity was high.
“I believe introducing yourself first is the right way to go.” She said and he laughed.
“I don’t believe there’s anyone here who doesn’t know the name of the owner.” He said.
“As well as me, his trusty manager.” “Hm,” she narrowed her eyes.
“Is that so?” She crossed her legs.
“But well, it doesn’t matter.
I can’t say my name anyway so let’s get down to business.
I would like to make my purchase as soon as I can.” “Huhuhu, of course.
You can just pay right -” “But…” Alice interrupted him.
“I still doubt the authenticity of this product.” She said, and the manager furrowed his eyebrows.
*Wow, look at you using big fancy words.* He said with a little snicker.
‘Shut it,’ she cleared her throat and continued.
“What I meant by that is simple.
This miracle potion, how am I so sure it will increase powers tenfold, as it was described?
I have this handful of men whom I would like to use it on but I do not know if this is a trickery on your path.
And since it’s my first time here, I find it even harder to believe.” “Hm, I see.” He stroked his chin, observing her.
“Well, it is understandable.
But note that this auction house is one of the most legit you would ever find on the planes.” “Could you prove that?” She peered closer to him and her eyes, though unseen, peered into him, making him nervous and anxious.
“Could you prove that every single one of these bottles will work just as they were described?” The manager gulped, cleaning his sweat with a handkerchief.
“Well, I don’t know what you want, Miss Black.” He said, “I can call you that, right?
I don’t want to be rude but,” “It’s fine.” She said and he nodded.
“So, you see, our sources are safe and reliable.” “But what if there’s a slip-off?” Alice intercepted him.
“Shall I blame the death of my men on this auction house if the product were to fail halfway?” “Well, I…
What can we do to assure you?” “I want to see the supplier.” She said, resting her back on the couch.
This took the manager by surprise.
“You want…
To see the supplier?” He asked, his eyebrows furrowing in suspicion.
“That’s what I said.” “Miss Black, are you trying to evade payment?” The manager suddenly asked and she paused.
Ah, he was catching on.
What to do?
She looked at one of the men standing next to the chest and said, “You think I don’t have the money.” She got up.
“I doubt there’s any other way to convince you but this.” She stood in front of him and then asked, “Could you stretch out your hand for a second?” Confused, the guard looked at her and then at the manager, who gave him the go-ahead.
He stretched out one of his hands and then she chopped it off right away, earning an agonizing scream and alarming them.
“What the hell are you…?” “Just hold on.” Alice said.
“I’m trying to make my point.” She shoved her hand inside her jacket and took out an elixir.
Their eyes widened.
It was way bigger than the bottle they had set up for the auction today.
Did she have that on her all through?
“If I couldn’t afford a simple three billion dollar goods, do you think I would be so calm pouring this priceless elixir on your guard?” She asked and opened it, pouring it on his chopped hand.
“And believe me, this is the highest grade.” CREATORS’ THOUGHTS Author_fredah Yes, Alice.
