59 A Trip To The Bank (1/2)

The price had gone up by another 10 Gold dragons, making it 70. But just as Vy was about to award it to the bidder, Linx pushed through the crowd and raised his hand.

”200 golden dragons,” Linx shouted his offer.

Everyone's jaw dropped to the ground, the crowd went silent. Even Vy could not believe the amount that had been mentioned. But she came to her senses swiftly and as no one else could beat that bid, it was awarded to Linx. The crowd cleared a pathway for Lord Estagard and his guards who came to make payment for the Lava Agate.

The cold demeanour of Lord Estagard did not intimidate Vy at all as she requested for payment to be made to her account. This meant that they had to make a trip to the bank but Lord Estagard whispered something to Linx.

”Lord Estagard says that there is no need for a trip to the bank. We will pay up in full right here, right now. If you would like to deposit it into your account, we will send two of our guards to help carry the money to the bank with you,” Linx explained.

-Rich people do things differently, don't they, Dotty?-

\u003cThey sure do, Vy!\u003e

Vy agreed to the deal and shook hands with Linx to complete their deal. With a clap of his hands, two guards came forward holding one chest. When they opened it up, Vy saw that the entire chest was filled with Gold Dragons. Most people had never seen such wealth in their entire lives, this must be Vy's lucky day!

”Would you like to count them to ensure there's 200 of them,” Lord Estagard asked.

Vy shook her head and replied with a smile, ”There's no need for that. I'm sure Lord Estagard is trustworthy enough. It's been a pleasure doing business with you, My Lord.”

Vy bowed, asked the guards to follow her and left the marketplace, heading for the bank. Mr Roods watched as she left, still amazed and in awe of what has happened. When he turned back to look at the stall, customers were swarming to buy up all the rocks that were for sale. Vy's lucky finds had them wildly popular. People were buying rocks left and right, much to the pleasure of the seller.

On the other hand, Vy went straight to the bank with Lord Estagard's guards and deposited all of her newfound wealth into her account. With the accumulation of her wealth, she was now a preferred customer at the bank. A bank employee was assigned to her for all her banking needs.
