Chapter 85 - Wings Strengthening (2) (1/2)
The amount of 30 million won was five million higher than Han Yeon-soo’s offer.
If he disposed of the moonstones at this price, he could earn 54 billion.
However, Kang-jun shook his head with a frown.
”I'm sorry but I don’t intend to do so.”
”Ah, then it can’t be helped.”
Ruel had a sad expression but Kang-jun then muttered unknowingly,
”If you give me essences, then... I don’t know.”
His words entered Ruel’s ear and her eyes shook as she spoke.
”Do you mean essences such as the Essence of Fire or Essence of Water? If it’s those essences, then I have some. Will you really sell moonstones for essences?”
”That...”
Kang-jun made an embarra.s.sed expression. He needed essences to strengthen his wings, so he had spoken unknowingly.
However, he couldn’t help feeling embarra.s.sed when seeing Ruel’s expectant face.
Even so, he couldn’t exchange moonstones for just one or two essences.
However, Kang-jun’s eyes widened as he heard Ruel’s next words.
”If you sell me three moonstones, I can give you all of my Essence of Fire. I think I have 40 right now?”
Ruel possessed five buildings and had approximately 30 billion won in a.s.sets. Although her attack power wasn’t high, she collected many essences from the mines.
Particularly, there was a fire mine in her territory, so the Essence of Fire came out well.
Thanks to that, she had around 40 essences.
Kang-jun smiled.
”No, that isn’t enough. I will sell you three moonstones for 30 million won each as well as the essences.”
Earlier, the dimensional merchant was selling one Essence of Fire for three moonstones.
Even if he had increased the price by two or three times, it implied that an Essence of Fire was worth one moonstone.
Now, Ruel was offering 40 Essence of Fire for three moonstones.
This was indeed an incredible deal. He also received cash. Additionally, it was more than the price offered by the Black Dragon Law Firm.
‘Why didn’t I think about this sooner?’
Kang-jun smiled widely.
That’s right.
It wasn’t difficult to obtain various essences because the rich sovereigns owned many territories. Even if it wasn’t a large number, there was a high possibility that everybody had dozens of them.
Conversely, moonstones were very hard to get. Therefore, they were willing to trade essences for moonstones.
Moonstones were more important than essences because with them, they could avoid punishment or have points for resurrection.
Ruel instantly returned to her base, sent the Essence of Fire to Kang-jun’s base through a transportation order and returned to headquarters.
[Sovereign Ruel has sent 40 Essence of Fire to your base.]
The transfer was instant between the bases. In the meantime, he wasn’t interested in these functions since he had nothing to do with other sovereigns.
[40 Essence of Fire have been stored in your warehouse.]
After confirming the message, Kang-jun immediately took three moonstones from his inventory and handed it to Ruel. She jumped with joy.
”Thank you, Lucan. Once I return to reality, I will send 90 million won to your account. Let me know your account number.”
”Send it through the Black Dragon Law Firm. It is better for them to handle it.”
”Yes, that would be good.”
Ruel left with an excited expression. Then the other sovereigns, who had been watching from afar, ran toward Kang-jun.
”Will you really give moonstones for essences?”
Kang-jun nodded.
”Of course.”
He shouted loudly so that all the sovereigns could hear.
”If you send me various essences, I will sell you moonstones for 30 million won. I don’t care who the person is, so please don’t hesitate. The essence type doesn’t matter. I will trade three moonstones for every 40 essences.”
In fact, it was a tremendous transaction even if he didn’t accept cash. One moonstone could be traded for 13 essences.
However, Kang-jun also received cash.
The exchange value was determined by Kang-jun but the other sovereigns consented.
Kang-jun had put a lot of effort into obtaining the moonstones, so he had to receive an appropriate price.
He had become a commander and received wings, so the essences from other sovereigns were essential right now.
Although essences were used to summon troops, it was possible to collect more in the future as most of the sovereigns had several mines. Additionally, 30 million won wasn’t a burden for those who were born with golden spoons.
This deal was good for everyone.
Kang-jun added something.
”In reference to the deal, I won’t enter into hostile relations.h.i.+ps with sovereigns who keep their end of the bargain.”
The sovereigns were lining up to do business with Kang-jun and once Kang-jun said that he wouldn’t enter a hostile relations.h.i.+p after making the deal, they became more frantic.
“Me!”
“Haha, I have many essences.”
”I want to make a deal.”
In fact, most of them were wary about having a hostile relations.h.i.+p with Kang-jun.
It was the same for Hardis. Even if he was hostile, he wasn’t even a match.
The first ranked sovereign in Earth Hwanmong. Now that he had become a commander, it was impossible to survive if they turned Kang-jun into their enemy.
So, Kang-jun’s words made him feel relieved. However, he couldn’t bear to make himself stand in the line.
It was the same for Zenith.
Hardis and Zenith couldn’t go forward due to pride.
Furthermore, unlike the other sovereigns, they didn’t need moonstones.
Therefore, they just watched as the other sovereigns did business with Kang-jun.
“I have 38 Essence of Earth, 12 Essence of Wind and 10 Essence of Fire.”
”I can trade four moonstones.”
”I have 30 Essence of Darkness.”
”I can trade two moonstones.”
Kang-jun finished his business with the sovereigns. After finis.h.i.+ng the deals with 30 sovereigns, 102 moonstones disappeared.
He now had 1,300 essences piled up in his warehouse.
In reality, 3.06 billion won in cash would enter his account.
At that moment, Heksia entered headquarters and saw Kang-jun.
”Lucan is here. Congratulations on becoming a commander. Did you get the Wings of Chaos?”
“Thank you. Your advanced notice was a great help.”
Kang-jun smiled at her. Grania, the commander of the 438th Army, was also behind Heksia.
“Hoho! Lucan! I really congratulate you.“
”I expected it, but it is still great.”
”Thank you.”
Then Kang-jun said to them,
”That went well. I have something to say.”
”What do you want to say?”
“Tell us.”
”It is a bit difficult. so let’s move to a quiet place.”
Heksia shook her head.
”There is no need to move. It will be quiet after a while. Wait until they go to the battlefield.”
Heksia led the sovereigns and moved somewhere else. Only Kang-jun and Grania remained at headquarters. She asked,
”Now that it is quiet, speak.”
Kang-jun gave her an intense stare and declared.
“Grania! Have you ever thought of joining my household?”
He didn’t mess around and went straight to the conclusion - that was Kang-jun’s personality.
