”Fifty thousand per person.”
Horlaide shook his head and seemed disinterested.
Ember frowned. ”This price is already fifty percent more than the original price. Why are you still refusing?”
”There's someone who's paying more,” Horlaide replied.
”Seventy thousand,” Ember added.
Horlaide still shook his head.
”A hundred thousand. That's my final offer.”
”Not enough.”
”Then how much do you want?” Ember was patient.
Horlaide laughed. ”The generous buyer is offering 210,000 per person. Of course, the deal is not yet settled. But… if you are able to pay more than 200,000, then that fact might change…”
”Okay. I will think about it.”
Ember nodded and left the slave market.
”Leader, how's the negotiation?” his team member asked.
Ember took off his mask and calmly said, ”Change of plans. We will take the hostages by force.”
DarkStar had the money to pay, but it was not worth it. Even if they settled on the price, there was a chance that the manager would increase the price again.
What kind of organization was the DarkStar? They were the bad guys! If they obeyed such orders, what would happen to their dignity as villains?
…
On the planet of the Fawn Galaxy, there was conflict among the Silvers.
”They have already named a price. What are we waiting for? Let's get the money!”
”Wait a second. This whole thing looks sketchy. Did the mercenaries work together with the slave market managers to scam us? Everyone in the Shattered Star Ring is a greedy goblin. We need to prepare for this possibility,” someone in the group said.
”In the end, safety comes first. Sky Ring, Blades, and Purple Gold have all fallen, so how can we trust this Black Star Group? If they push over their limit and try to be heroes, they might bring more danger to the hostages. Let's just give the money.”
”What if they don't release the hostages after we meet their demands,” one man said in worry.
After some chaotic discussion, in the end, the captain stayed calm and made the decision. ”The reason they failed last time was that they were outnumbered. I am going to trust them one last time. We will have the Black Star Mercenary Group try one more time, and if they can't do it, I believe they will give us an accurate reply. Giving money is our last option.”
…
A team of players rode an aircraft and scouted around an area.
Li Ge was on the aircraft. He dodged out of everyone's sight and took out the Secret Message Bead.
”What is this thing?” Li Ge mumbled to himself. ”The instructions say that there will be a bonus reward if I give this to a specific person, but there is no hint on who the person may be. I do have to activate it myself…”
Li Ge had a lot of experience in gaming. With items that did not have clear instructions, the player would have to take the initiative and show this item to different NPCs. If an NPC reacted differently compared to the rest, that should be the 'specific character'.
”Let's do this.” Li Ge made up his mind.
