"Here, assess them and tell me how much they are worth," Hye took higher grade bones, pale and dark gold ones, the dark realm bones starting from white grade all the way up to the dark gold.
When she saw these bones, she grew very interested in them, the same reaction the smuggler showed as well. The two didn't know that the Toranks already got their hands over a few of these bones, but they were just too stubborn to hand him any high end tech or weapons.
They didn't even consider supplying him with crystals, something that was very crucial to someone like Hye and his newly established kingdom.
Hye knew such bones would spread across the entire universe. He could pay with low grade bones, but he decided to teach the Toranks a valuable lesson using this smuggler.
He intended to trade everything using the dark realm bones, ending up for them being spread across the universe. Like this, the Toranks would know what they missed by their stubbornness and arrogance, would end up regretting not accepting his persistent offers and request for crystals and high end tech.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtEven if the Toranks acted high and still kept their arrogance, he was sure such news would lure more strong forces to contact him. The big races dealt with a few exclusive lists of special impacts. And Hye knew if he knocked at their doors, he'd get rejected.
So the only option he got was for them to contact him, and that was why he intended to make a great impact over the universe using his bones.
If not for the high value of his Holy Ones bones, he'd simply prefer to offer them to the smuggler. But he knew such bones were his best, and the hardest to achieve.
He could get dark realm bones from the outer battlefield, but couldn't get any Holy Ones bones. To get them, he needed to fight those fiends and others from the mysterious evil force he fought a brutal fight against before.
"Are we good?" After they agreed on the final price, the smuggler received samples of Hye's bones and sold them on the market. The sales went fast, and he seemed more satisfied with the response he got.
Hye didn't care about how much his bones sold, as he sat his eyes over the grand prize. The prices he got were much better than what he initially thought, were much better than the standard he took in mind when he spoke with the smuggler.
He used the Crystal Heart as a reference, used how much the heart converted his bones to roughly estimate their value. But the prices the smuggler mentioned were at least five fold what he had in mind. As for the silver and higher dark realm bones, they got sold by tenfold what he had in mind for them.
That didn't include the increase they agreed upon. "It's a deal," Hye shook the hand of the smuggler again, but this time he didn't feel the same fierceness coming from the man.
"The contract is ready, let me add you as a friend…"
"Smiggy?!!! Is your name Smiggy?!!!" Hye accepted the invite, to get startled by the weird name of this smuggler.
"That's my professional name, cool isn't it?"
The smuggler didn't get the slight mockery in Hye's tone. The latter noticed the times the smuggler spoke about Silverlining, he called him Silvy. It seemed like this smuggler had a feminine touch in his soul or something.
"It's cool, indeed," Hye said to his surprise, "send me the contract then."
"Let this be the first of our long term relationship," Smiggy was excited about finalising this deal with Hye, something that told the latter how much wealth he'd gain from selling out Hye's bones.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Sure," Hye wouldn't say no to such an invitation. Gaining an extra friend to supply him with what he'd need, especially someone who wasn't affiliated or limited with a higher force, was something worthy indeed.
The contract was sent via direct messages. And Hye didn't find anything abnormal about it. It mentioned the number of spaceships they agreed to exchange, and also contained the location and time of delivery plus the prices in his bones.
The surprising and delightful thing he read there was the fact he'd get the spaceships right on the spot once he'd pay the price agreed on the contract.
Hye noticed that such supposedly illegal contracts were supported by the system. It was weird indeed, as he took what was going on here to be all against the universal laws.
"Let's do it then," Hye selected the grades of bones he'd sell, and focused solely over the dark realm bones. When he finished the deal, the smuggler was quite delighted by the exchange, and couldn't help but laugh for an entire minute.
Hye also laughed when he saw the ships stored within his inventory. He thought that he'd need to take and mobilise them, the same way he saw the forces of this world do when they moved their spaceships.
But it wasn't the case. These forces took such an approach so they'd show to their citizens how strong and capable, how well prepared their forces were.
Then Hye turned towards the huge sum of crystals he gained from this exchange. It was so massive to be more than what he gained so far from the entire world's big merchant families and merchants.
Hye got what he desired, and much more. He left the bar with a grin over his face, while the lady nymph watched him from the side without saying anything.
She felt envy for the smuggler to get all these bones. Hye paid hundreds of millions of his bones to get these spaceships and crystals, a price that was fair in her eyes. Still she regretted not being the one on the other end of the table, making such a deal with him.
For a moment there, she felt like being with her impact wasn't something profitable to her. She saw how Hye desired tons of great stuff, things that her small impact wouldn't dream to have in the first place.
