Chapter 154
Tsunade was in complete shock!
This little brat really dared to say anything! This was something even Tsunade herself wouldn't dare to do!
"Ugh... Ughhh..."
"Hey! Sensei, let me talk to him first. He forgot to take his medicine today."
Tsunade quickly covered Haruto Saito's mouth, flashed an awkward smile at Hiruzen Sarutobi, and then dragged Haruto out of the office in a hurry. The hallway was bustling with people, so she swiftly pulled him through the corridor and didn't stop until they reached a dimly lit corner near the staircase.
"You little brat! Are you insane? Fifteen million and you're still not satisfied? How much do you want?" Tsunade let go of Haruto and scolded him fiercely.
"Are you crazy? I wasn't even finished talking!" Haruto shot a sideways glance at her, clearly displeased. "Fifteen million ryō is a lot?"
"And you think it isn't?" Tsunade was stunned for a moment, then her expression darkened as she jabbed Haruto's forehead with her finger. "Hey, hey, hey! You brat, how much more do you want? Are you trying to get yourself killed?! You—! Using the Black Armor as leverage is already—"
She truly thought Haruto had lost his mind. The Black Armor was only worth so much; selling it directly on the black market would fetch at most fifteen million ryō, which was already a high price. Of course, if it were auctioned, the price could go even higher, but that was a different matter!
It was like an antique originally worth ten thousand ryō—if two collectors both wanted it and started a bidding war, the price could soar to tens or even hundreds of thousands.
"It's not as bad as you make it sound." Haruto smirked. "Do you think I'd do something I have no confidence in?" He wasn't acting recklessly. In fact, he had some certainty about this, as he had been closely observing Hiruzen Sarutobi's attitude towards him in the office.
