Chapter 47：Vickers (2/2)
There is a counter where a middle-aged man sat lazily. The middle-aged man is wearing a bright red outfit and he has his eyes closed as if he was dozing off. He has a short beard and moustache. He has a bronze skin and his face has a mischievous charm.
They slowly walked towards the counter and just as they were about to wake him up. He immediately woke up and looked around. His eyes brightened up as soon as he saw Sam and his group.
”Welcome to Vickers's shop. How may I help you? Whatever you want, if it is available near the premises of the Falcon cliff city, you can buy it. We will not only accept money, but also trade with treasures.” He then looked at Sam and sized him up. His eyes narrowed and a mischievous smile appeared on his face.
”I need a house.” Sam said as in an emotionless voice and cold voice.
”Oh, you came to the right person. What kind of place do you want?”
”Quiet, Peaceful and Spacious. It is fine even if it is in a deserted location.”
”Aha, I have a perfect place for you. Please follow me.” He said and came out of the counter. He led the group to the outskirts of the city. The place has a no houses nearby and there is a large yard with a lake. The mansion is large and there are several rooms. But the colour seemed a little faded, indicating that it has been a while someone stayed here.
”Do you have any other places?” Sam asked Vickers.
”Hahaha, actually this is the only place available right now.” Sam raised an eyebrow at the answer and said.
”Okay then. I will take it. How much?”
”How much are you willing to pay?”
”35,000 spirit stones.”
”Deal.” As soon as Sam made the offer, he agreed. Sam was surprised a bit for this action but he didn't say anything. He took out the spirit stones and made payment.
”You have to come to the shop, for the deed.” Vickers said with a smile.
”Okay. I will go with you.” Sam replied and said to his friends. ”You guys go inside and chose your rooms. Just leave me a room with study.” He then walked along with Vickers.
When they arrived at the shop, Vickers went inside a room while Sam sat near the counter. After a while, Vickers came out with a scroll and the transaction is completed. Sam looked at the deed and nodded but didn't leave. He seemed to be pondering and finally asked.
”You said that I can buy anything as long as it can be obtained near the Falcon cliff city, right?”
”Of course. Anything.” Vickers replied in mischievous tone. Sam just looked at his eyes without answering. Something about this guy is making him feel uncomfortable. But he didn't sense any danger. The unease is because, he wasn't able to see through him at all. His strength, his level, his age everything seemed to be a mystery.
”I want information.” Sam said after a short silence.
”Sure. What information do you want?”
”About the underground organisations in the city. I need the name, strength and types of business they deal with?”
”Deal can be done Sam. But the info is one of the most expensive things you can buy.” Vickers said.
”How much?”
”5000 spirit stones.”
Sam didn't say anything and just placed the stones on the table. Seeing this Vickers just smiled and said. ”The info will be delivered to your door-step tomorrow. Do you need anything else?”
”Dark element spirit stones.” Sam said in a low voice.
”Oh, that is unexpected. I thought you might ask fire and light attributes.” Vickers said with same smile but Sam's expression changed as he looked at the man vigilantly.
”Don't worry Sam. We will never harm our customers. This is the motto of our business.” Vickers said. Sam didn't say anything and just place a big bag of stones on the table. There are around 100000 spirit stones in it.
”What is the exchange rate?”
”Hehe, in falcon cliff city, dark element stones are very rare and exchange rate is around 1:7, but since you are making such big exchange, I will give you discount and accept 1:5.” Sam didn't refuse and received the twenty thousand dark element stones and left.
Sam reached the mansion and looked went into the room. Surprisingly, the main room was left for him and it is fully cleaned without a speck of dust. He opened the window and laid down on the bed. He looked at the night sky as he thought about Vickers. After all, this is the first person who was able to point out his elements right after a single glance.
