237 Chapter 26 Meeting Elsa (2/2)
when Alex said that the female vendor's eyes sparkled as of she found her next prey, considering Alex's young age,” Oh.. you really have great eyes. Your mother will like them a lot. for these, it would be six thousand dollars, How about I show you some other gems too?
If you buy all these together, I will sell them at a good price. ” She pointed at some other gems which included the four crystals which he wanted for himself.
Alex's eyes sparkled with glee and he almost agreed immediately but refrained himself and said, ”Can you do a little cheaper? I have to buy some other things for my mother's birthday. If I spend my whole balance on it, then I cannot buy my other things.” He tried to plead to the older woman.
Alex didn't hide his desire for the gems and the fact that Alex was young, his failure to possess much and even if he possess that much cash with him, his inability to spend all of them in a bulk was within reason.
He has Pokemons with him and raising them is also expensive. So the woman didn't find any problem in his words. And the bargain began. In the end, the deal was done at four thousand five hundred dollars.
Both of them were happy from the deal. The
old female vendor managed to sell her junks at a sky-high price while Alex got four crystals worth the same amount of energy as the dragon scale he possesses at a cheap rate. The woman in her greed forgot about the Dratini he has around his neck which was way too expensive.
When Alex paid and collected his goods and was leaving, a voice from behind stopped him,” Wait, I want to buy the crystals. ”
Alex turned around to see two people, a boy and a girl around his age, they can only be a couple of years older than him not younger.
Alex observed that the girl was leading while the man followed behind her protectively acting as her guardian. The girl was dressed in rich attire, and everything from her manner to the posture of her spoke of her wealth. Alex has noticed this thing in only two people, Mr. Montenegro, and his son and Alex's friend, Bill.
So Alex has no doubt that the girl in front of him was rich.
” Oh, did you just say something?” Alex ignored the boy behind her and addressed the girl directly.
” yes. Those crystals in your hands are pretty. I like them. Sell them to me. I will pay you twice as much as you paid for them ” the girl said arrogantly.
Alex's eyes twitched at the declaration but he calmly replies, ” They aren't for sale. I bought them for a reason and I will not sell them to you.” After saying that Alex turns around to leave.
The girl doesn't like Alex acting like that to her and shouted out,” Do you know with whom you are talking to? Do you have any idea what the consequences of your actions can be?”
Alex ignored all these and continued to walk away. The girl was angry and turns red and the boy by her side ran to Alex and held his shoulder tightly to stop him and said politely or as politely as he can on this situation, ”Her highness is still talking to you. Please don't be disrespectful to her by walking away.”
Although he spoke politely, it still possesses an underlying threat, and neither Alex nor his pokemon like threats very much.
And Pikachu showed his by almost sending a power thunderbolt at the boy, but Alex runs his hands under Pikachu's cheeks to calm down the agitated electric mouse.
He looked over his shoulder at the man who held his shoulders,” please remove
your hand or I will remove it for you.”
Although Alex words were plain, the threat was obvious, especially from the killing intent the boy felt from Alex made him freeze on spot.
The boy removes his hand subconsciously and Alex walked away. The girl has no idea what transpired between the two. She walked to her companion and shook him until he recovers from the shock. By the time he recovers, Alex has gone far away from them.
