”Maybe I should go with you. I might be able to help.” Ye Zi put in. Wang Tong nodded in response, and the two walked toward the sales room, where a man in his forties greeted them.
”What can I do for you?” He asked politely, his eyes glued to Ye Zi's Sect badge.
”We have something for the auction.” Wang Tong announced.
”Not sure what you want to sell? If it is not anything 'special,' if you know what I mean, I would recommend you to use the official exchange depot. We charge a 10% commission fee.”
”I do have something very special, but I am not sure if anyone here is able to recognize its value.” Wang Tong remarked.
”Hehe… Sir, we have been in this business for years, and have seen everything you can imagine. Bring it out and let us examine it, then we will give you a fair offer.”
”Are you in charge here?”
”Yes, I am. My name is Syracuse, and I am the owner here. I bet you two are from Battle Wolf? I have heard about your recent success, so I will waive your commission fees.” Syracuse smiled. He was going to leave Jade City a few days ago, but since he had heard that Xiao Yuyu was going to pay the city a visit, he had decided to stay a few more days.
”You…You are Syracuse?” Ye Zi was shocked by the name.
”You bet!” Syracuse said with a typical businessman's sleazy smile.
”Is he...famous?” Wang Tong asked quietly under his breath, but it was loud enough for Syracuse to hear him. Ye Zi hurried for an explanation.
Syracuse had made a name for himself after the war broke out as the go-to person for auctions. He had set up branches within human settlements all over Mars.
Syracuse waved in appreciation for Ye Zi's introduction and then said, ”I am not that successful… Just a merchant, that's all. If you don't mind, may I ask whom I am talking to?”
”Ye Zi… I am Battle Wolf's field medic, and he is Wang Tong, one of our captains.” Ye Zi said. She noticed the light of anticipation in Syracuse's eyes dim after he realized that the man was not Guan Dongyang.
”Captain Tong, what would you like to sell?” The old merchant asked.
Wang Tong took out an energy crystal and set it on the table. ”I have got a very special energy crystal.”
Disappointment flashed across Syracuse's face. Energy crystals were one of the most common items on the market. There was nothing spectacular about them, and they were dirt cheap unless they were from a super METAL. However, Syracuse noticed that the one on the table was only of a mid-tier level.
To confirm his initial appraisal, he picked the crystal up and held it close to his eyes. Suddenly, his eyes lit up. ”What's this inside?” As Syracuse scanned the energy crystal, he found something unusual with it.
”Hehe… There are three Mastery spells inside the crystal. They can be used by a person who does not even know how to fight.” Wang Tong revealed the truth. From the way Syracuse carried himself, Wang Tong was certain that he was a powerful fighter and an experienced appraiser.
”This is not a good place to talk. Please follow me.” Syracuse invited the two into an inner chamber, where they were greeted by a dozen young and beautiful servant girls, who brought them fresh fruits.
