Chapter 155: Exchange (1/2)

Gravis narrowed his eyes and turned around, looking at the person who had just shouted at him. Judging by the strength and imposingness of the voice, the person was definitely a Spirit Forming expert. The voice had awakened a sense of danger inside Gravis. Thus he was sure of the person's strength. Gravis readied himself for a fight.

A middle-aged man with flowing, fiery red hair came running. ”Why do you stop me?” asked Gravis with a severe tone.

The person seemed to get even angrier as urgency radiated from his eyes. ”Not you!” he shouted. ”Your bird!”

Gravis eyebrows rose in surprise, and he looked to Skye. Skye was currently carrying an unconscious disciple in its beak, readying itself to swallow him. Gravis' eyes widened when he saw that. ”Skye, Stop!” he shouted.

GULP!

Skye swallowed the disciple and then looked at Gravis with a questioning look. Wasn't it allowed to eat Gravis' enemies? What's his deal?

Gravis ran to Skye. ”Spit him out, now!” he shouted at Skye, and it looked back at him with bitterness and unwillingness. ”They were not my enemies, and they are still alive. Spit him out!”

Skye looked at Gravis and then at the new arrival, who was really close by now and conceded.

LURCH Clank!

The disciple's unconscious body fell out of Skye's lowered opened beak and hit the ground. The clothes had already been fully corroded, and even his skin looked a little burned. The Guild Master of the Fire Guild went to the disciple and checked his life signs. Only when he felt that the Energy and body were still vigorous did he sigh in relief.

Gravis scratched the back of his neck in embarrassment. ”Sorry, Skye didn't do it on purpose,” Gravis explained.

The Guild Master glared at Skye but then sighed. ”Nothing major happened, so it's okay,” he waved the matter off nonchalantly. He then turned to Gravis to look at him more closely. ”You have impressive battle-strength. You even managed to defeat Red, the strongest person in Magic Gathering in our guild.”

Gravis nodded to show his respect to the Guild Master's strength. While he didn't care about the status of the Guild Master, he cared about his strength. Just when Gravis wanted to turn around and continue on his way, he suddenly got an idea. He rubbed his chin in thought as he watched the Guild Master.

The Guild Master felt weird when Gravis looked at him without saying anything. What did he want?

”Actually,” started Gravis. ”Are you interested in a trade?” he asked the Guild Master.

The eyes of the Guild Master narrowed. ”You can't win against me, yet,” said the Guild Master directly.

But Gravis simply shook his head. ”That's not what I mean,” he explained. ”I have earned many weapons in my fights, and I wonder if you are interested in repurchasing them.”

The Guild Master was a little surprised by the idea. First, Gravis killed his disciples and stole their wealth and then offered to sell their own weapons back to them? However, as the Guild Master continued thinking about this situation, he started to realize that that was actually not such a bad idea, though a little in bad taste. All of those weapons were tailor-made for the Fire Guild, and some of them were really good.

”You know what?” asked the Guild Master rhetorically after a while. ”Why not?”

Gravis smirked a little. ”Alright, but I am only interested in body tempering pills. Is that okay with you?” Gravis asked in confirmation.

The Guild Master nodded. ”That's alright. Is it okay with you if we determine the price of the weapons based on the Contribution Point System that we use in the guild?” The Guild Master asked.

Gravis looked unsurely at the Guild Master. ”Could you elaborate?”

”Simple! Body tempering pills and weapons can both be exchanged for Contribution Points. You'll sell us the weapons, and we give you Contribution Points equal to the weapons' buying price. Then, you can use up those points, like a normal disciple,” he explained, and then his eyes narrowed in thought. ”I think I'll also give you the same discount as someone with your strength would have in our guild, which is someone with an elder's strength.”

Gravis eyes widened in surprise. ”I killed about ten of your strongest disciples, and you are even willing to give me a discount? Why?” asked Gravis, confused.
