"Can't I buy it separately? This is a little difficult."
When Kaede Sato heard the stall owner's words, his face under the mask suddenly frowned, and he thought reluctantly.
Now, he was only short of 25 grams of Highly Toxic Essence. The piece of Highly Toxic Essence in front of him was very large, at least 50 grams.
However, the price of Highly Toxic Essence was too high. Every gram cost millions of Alliance dollars, and this was the normal market price. If it were in a place like the black market, the price would at least be several times higher to be able to buy it.
Therefore, Kaede Sato estimated that if he wanted to get this piece of Highly Toxic Essence in front of him, he would have to spend at least 100 million Alliance dollars.
"You must be joking, sir. How can such a precious thing be swallowed by a cash-strapped person like me alone? I don't want much, 25 grams is enough."
Although he knew that the amount of Highly Toxic Essence in his hands might be exposed, Kaede Sato still told the stall owner the amount he wanted. "You must be joking, sir.
"That won't do. My rule is to sell them all in one piece. Customer, you have your own difficulties, but I also have my own difficulties. I don't need to explain the function of the Toxic Essence, right? The more of this kind of thing, the better it will sell, and the higher the price it will sell. If I sell them separately, I will suffer a great loss."
When the stall owner heard Kaede Sato say this, his face suddenly became a little unhappy. He then stared at Kaede Sato as if he had lost tens of millions of Alliance dollars.
"Sigh … That's really a pity. I might be able to afford half a piece, but if it's a whole piece, I really can't afford it."
Kaede Sato awkwardly avoided the stall owner's dissatisfied little eyes, then let out a long sigh and thought regretfully.
As soon as he finished speaking, he began to turn around and leave.
At this time, Kaede Sato was prepared to force the stall owner to give in by retreating. After all, even if he only sold half of it, the stall owner could still get tens of millions of Alliance dollars. This was a big deal, and it would be a pity to miss it.
Unfortunately, Kaede Sato's retreat did not make the stall owner waver in his decision. Even when Kaede Sato was about to leave his sight, he still did not compromise.
"Looks like he's a fisherman. The Toxic Essence is indeed a good thing. So many people want it."
Kaede Sato used his mental power to observe every move of the stall owner behind him. He realized that the other party really had no intention of asking him to stay, so he thought in a self-deprecating manner.
What he hated the most in the black market were people who sold their treasures even though they didn't lack money.
It was obvious that the person just now did not really intend to sell this piece of Toxic Essence. Even if he really offered enough money to buy it, the other party would definitely continue to raise the price on the grounds that it was a rare commodity.
If Kaede Sato's guess was correct, the other party's true objective was actually the same as his, which was to find enough poisonous essence.
Now, the piece of Toxic Essence on the stall was a piece of bait, specially designed to lure people like Kaede Sato who had Toxic Essence in their hands to take the bait.
As a matter of fact, Kaede Sato, the fish that could not resist the temptation, took the bait.
Sure enough, as soon as Kaede Sato left the sight of the stall owner, he found that there were a few faintly discernible tails around him.
In the black market where there were no rules to speak of, there were simply too many cases of people taking advantage of other people. Kaede Sato did not mind it, but rather felt a little happy about it.
If he couldn't get it through the normal way, he would just have to find another way. Initially, Sato Kaede didn't want to cause any trouble. After all, he was still a very law-abiding person.
However, if someone came to find trouble with him, then he naturally did not have to hesitate at all. If the other party just stretched out their claws at him, then he would chop them off along with their hands.
Very soon, he pretended to not know anything and walked out of the black market. He even deliberately walked towards a quiet place in the middle of the night.
However, what surprised Kaede Sato was that the few people who had been following him actually turned around and ran when he was about to make a move.
"That's really strange, these guys actually ran away."
Seeing this situation, not only did Kaede Sato's mood not improve, but he also felt a little depressed, as if he had punched the air and felt uncomfortable.
"Big Brother, why did you retreat? That guy has something that the employer told him to do."
At the same time, a few hundred meters away from Kaede Sato, a fierce-looking man with some dissatisfaction said to a sickly man in front of him who was as thin as a bamboo pole.
"Yes, Big Brother, we have already received the payment. If we break our promise, we can't continue our business."
When the few thugs around him heard this, they also asked the sickly man in the middle of the crowd, a trace of malice in their eyes.
"A bunch of idiots, what do you know? Didn't you see that my baby was scared to death just now? That guy is definitely not someone we can afford to offend. Is money more important or life more important? "
The sickly man also felt the dissatisfaction and malice of the thugs around him, but he did not care at all. He directly slapped the face of the thug in front of him who was baring his teeth at him, and said with a fierce expression.
The treasure that the sickly man was talking about was actually a loach that grew on his arm. Just as Kaede Sato was about to make a move on the sickly man and the others, the loach began to tremble all over and fiercely bit the sickly man.
The sickly man had done some research on meticulously raising loaches. He was fortunate enough to read from a book that the loach had the ability to seek benefits and avoid harm, and this loach of his possessed this magical ability.
It was precisely because of this loach that he had avoided several major disasters, and step by step, he had built a rather famous small team in the black market.
The mudskipper's fearful expression had really frightened him. He knew that the mudskipper was warning him that he had encountered an enemy that he could not defeat. That was why he had ignored the objections of his subordinates and slipped away.
It was very obvious that there was a lot of internal conflict within this small team that the sickly man had formed. With his weak and frail body, he really couldn't control his strong and strong subordinates. As soon as he made his move, the remaining few subordinates immediately revealed their ferocious nature and prepared to attack the sickly man.
"So that's how it is. No wonder Big Brother told us to leave. Ah'Bao was afraid. It seems that the person just now was indeed very difficult to deal with."
However, the fierce-looking man had calmed down at this time. He nodded to the sickly man and directly stood beside him.
The fierce-looking man was the one who had followed the sickly man for the longest time. He had a certain understanding of the loach that the sickly man regarded as his lifeblood. He knew that the loach would not choose to leave for no reason.
The others saw that the fierce-looking man, who was the strongest among them, was supporting the sickly man. They glanced at each other and had no choice but to give up on the idea of dragging the sickly man down from his horse.
"Big Brother, why is your loach shaking again?"
Just as the sickly man was thinking about what excuse he should come up with when he went back, the fierce-looking man suddenly said such a sentence.
Hearing this, the sickly man and the others immediately turned their gazes to a nearby basin filled with water.
The loach could not leave water for a long time. Just now, because of fear, it had secreted a large amount of mucus, causing it to fall into a slightly dehydrated state.
In order to be able to see the loach's condition as soon as possible, the sickly man did not put it back into a pokeball. Instead, he put the loach into the basin to rest.
Now, the loach, which had recovered to a good state, was shivering at the bottom of the basin, causing large amounts of waves to continuously appear on the water surface.
Seeing this, the sickly man's expression immediately changed. How could he not know that he was in danger again? He looked in the direction that the loach was looking at with a frightened expression.
"Not good, everyone, run!"
In the next second, he immediately grabbed the loach in the basin, turned around, and ran. After running for a distance, he shouted loudly.
