Chapter 34: Bluffing (1/2)

As the Big One applied the potion, a soothing and comfortable and merry feeling spread inside Fenon and others. The blood stopped oozing out of their wounds. People noticing this scene left stunned. Who could have thought that the potion would be so potent and capable of stopping the bleeding of such nasty wounds?

Kadyn saw their reaction, and an idea popped into his cunning head. ”Cough~,” he attracted everyone's attention. Then proceeded. ”As you can see, the effect of the potion. It's amazing, isn't it?

”I don't think many places sell such potions. Even if they did, everyone could not purchase them. This potion that Fatty just used is the most inferior type in my shop. I have even higher grade potions.”

”Furthermore...cough~” he eyed Fenon and again turned towards the crowd. ”Due to the special condition, I have raised the price of the potion just now. For other people it won't cost that much. This potion I have sold would at most cost 2000 dollars. Not bad, heh?”

”You damn bastard!” Fenon couldn't hold himself and cursed. ”You took so much money and you still gave me the lowest grade potion?!”

Kadyn ignored fuming Fenon and continued to promote his potion as this was an ideal time. Many people had seen its effect with their own eyes. One needs to hit the iron while its hot.

”Umm, what is the price of higher potions?” someone inquired with a curious face.

”5000 for intermediate and 10000 for high grade Soothing Drop. I assure you that you won't be disappointed. You've seen the effect of the lowest grade Soothing Drop, so you can imagine that others will be only better.” Kady bowed towards everyone as he explained.

Fenon clenched his fist until his knuckles started to make a sound and turned red. How dare he use him as a dummy to promote his product?! He had the urge to dash and strangle the bastard alive.

However, when he thought about the bomb, he shivered in cold sweat and swallowed all the anger and indignance. If it wasn't for the defensive artifact he wore—for which his father paid a massive fortune—he would have blasted alongside the bomb. His back drenched in perspiration at the possibility.

”Two low grade Soothing Drop.” No one knew who spoke, but the voice was a kind of trigger as everyone rushed towards Kadyn like a horde of vicious beasts.

”Five low grade Soothing Drop.”

”Two low grades and two intermediate Soothing Drop…”

Kadyn gaped at everyone with a flabbergasted look. Although he had predicted that it would help his business to grow, he never thought that so many people would be ready to pay such an extensive amount of money—he was unaware of how precious potions in Avibria City were. Only Upper Town had potion makers. They would sell their potions to only those powerful families or organisations to gain their favour. No one would bother with peasants in Lower Town.

Even with money they couldn't purchase. On the other hand, Kadyn's potion was really too amazing as they had never seen—or heard—about such a healing potion before that could heal terrible wounds in a matter of minutes as it did just now. Although Fenon wasn't healed completely—one had to know that he just used the lowest grade potion. It was almost a life saving treasure.

”Calm Down, everyone!” Kadyn was almost overwhelmed by the rush, but he calmed quickly and said. ”We have enough potions for everyone. If we run out of stock, we will just brew more. So, please be patient.”

”Are you speaking the truth?” someone asked after some hesitation. ”Would you trade your potions to those powerful families in the Upper Town and stop selling us in the future?”
