C28 Which Family Is Better at Chives?

Alvin Danny felt that his life was quite comfortable.

He was forty years old this year and was born in Rossai. He had a head full of red hair. He was a standard local. He had once traveled around the various countries with caravans in his early years. After turning thirty, he became an outstanding merchant and returned to the Rossai with a heavy responsibility. He was now the branch chief of the Sorofia Chamber of Commerce's Alucard City.

As one of the few branch presidents of the Sorofia Chamber of Commerce, Alvin's status could not be said to not be high. Even some of the nobles at the end of the line couldn't be compared to him. It was only natural. The person he could meet in person definitely had a high status.

Take this person for example.

"Young Master Roya, the two clothes you ordered will take about half a month to be delivered. When the time comes, our people will personally deliver them to the marquis' mansion. As for the dagger you asked for, I'm afraid it will take longer. About three months. "

In the beautifully decorated room, Alvin was smiling as he explained the situation to the cute and handsome boy in the black coat across from him. That kind and peaceful attitude was worthy of the branch president's name.

The top quality casserole black tea on the table emitted a faint fragrance. Combined with the exquisite tea set in Rossai, it had a different style. Roya leaned on the soft sofa and took a sip of tea. He raised his eyes and gave a slight praise.

"The tea is not bad."

"Haha, of course the best tea is used to serve you. I usually don't want to drink this tea."

Hehe, who are you lying to?

A smile appeared on Roya's face, but in his heart, he didn't care about what he said.

The Sorofia was famous for being filthy rich. How could a branch president not be able to afford tea? What was the difference between this and Old Eight starving to death in the toilet?

Raise the other party's status, give him face, and wait for the other party to feel superior before making a killing. By doing this, those nobles who cared about their face would usually grit their teeth and swallow it down, and bite the bullet and scatter money to maintain their face. This method of harvesting the chives could be said to be a common method used by these merchants. It was especially easy for immature and arrogant young people to do so. Unfortunately, Roya was not included in this group of people.

His words were pretty good, but Old Eight, save it if you fool me.

The young man put down his teacup and did not answer Alvin's question. Instead, he thought for a while and said:

"Well, it doesn't matter. Three months is not a long time, but these are all small matters. I am not talking to you alone to confirm these things."

"I understand. Young Master Roya, if you need anything, just tell us. We can prepare everything."

Alvin smiled. He looked kind and kind, but in his heart, there was actually a layer of disgust.

It was another shady business. He had heard that Marquis Katia's son was ignorant and incompetent. He did not expect that he would be tainted by such shameful things at such a young age.

Let me guess what it is. Fantasy grass or happy beat? Or is it a woman?

Alvin pondered in his heart and decided to deceive this evil young master. Although the Sorofia Chamber of Commerce also had some connections, it was forbidden to sell these things on the surface. If Roya was already a marquis, it would be fine. In order to please him, he could do one or two things. But now he was only the heir.

Marquis Katia was a model noble, and he was also a powerful wizard. He could not allow his son to be involved in these things. Alvin would definitely be in trouble if he were to investigate.

The middle-aged man smiled and did not say anything. He did not expect to hear something different.

"I want to sell you something from the list of purchases."

"Purchase goods?"

Alvin blinked. He had never thought that this young master would be here to sell things. However, this was only for a moment. After a second or two, Alvin returned to normal. It would be better to say that his smile became even wider.

"I see. Then, may I ask which one you want to sell...?"

"Number 172. It has the ability to calm the soul. It can suppress the corrosion of curses and prevent objects from dying."

Roya calmly said those words, causing Alvin, who was about to flip open the list, to stop. His eyes, which were staring at the new collection, suddenly narrowed.

"... " Haha, your memory is really good. Well, there is indeed such an item that you are in a hurry to buy."

Alvin pretended to flip through the list, but his heart was different from his outer appearance.

Outsiders did not know who the buyer was, but Alvin, as the branch manager, knew very well. This was a purchase issued by the Rossai's main store, which meant that the person who wanted Number 172 was most likely some big shot from their family.

A non-essential transaction suddenly became a transaction that might affect Alvin's future prospects. This comparison made the middle-aged businessman's expression become serious all of a sudden.

"Young Master Roya, may I know where your things are?"

"They are still at home now. I will come again tomorrow. If our deal is successful, I will naturally bring them to you."

"I understand. May I ask if your items meet the requirements?"

"I can guarantee the effect of calming the soul and suppressing the undying. Curse power erosion is yet to be determined."

Noah roughly described the effect of Soul Anchor. Alvin's shrewd eyes lit up when he heard it. The young man looked at the merchant's expression, which was difficult to conceal, and said in his heart:

"As a collectible of my family, my father actually does not support me selling it. However, you should have heard that my extraordinary talent is not high. I'm not interested in those strange things in the storage room, so I might as well trade them for shiny gold coins "

Roya's face revealed a look of disdain, showing a look of squandering like a standard good-for-nothing. When Alvin saw this, he laughed in his heart, but his face showed a look of approval.

"Indeed. No matter how much useless goods are stored, it will only be ashes. Changing it to gold coins is also a choice. You can buy it when you need it."

Alvin defended Roya's wrong point of view and did not mention that many things about extraordinary power were priceless. When Roya heard this, he seemed to be very happy and nodded, as if he hated Alvin for being late.

"I knew Mr. Alvin could understand me. Father is too stubborn. What is the use of those broken things? If you want me to say it, I will sell it all! "

Noah waved his hand, as if he was eager to let go of the Alucard family's collections from generation to generation. Hearing this, Alvin's heart immediately heated up.

If he could buy all the wealth of an ancient magician family like the Alucard, then no matter how much gold he spent, it would still be cost-effective. Because many ancient collections were now priceless treasures, and could not be measured with money. When it came to money... When had the Sorofia ever been short of money? It was better to say that they did not lack money at all. They could not even spend all of it.

In fact, every branch leader of the Sorofia Chamber of Commerce had a mission to collect rare treasures. Some of them even wanted to be promoted, and they would specifically focus on the aristocratic families who had fallen. Once they received good things, they would be able to make a meteoric rise.

The temptation of the Alucard family's treasure, coupled with the purchase number 172, made Alvin unable to hold himself back. The middle-aged merchant swallowed his saliva and asked eagerly, What is it?

"Then, Young Master Roya, what price do you think is suitable for this item?"

"This is the first time we have cooperated. I think I want to bring a reasonable amount for my father."

Roya turned his eyes and smiled.

"Fifty thousand gold coins, what do you think?"
