Chapter 415: The storeowner’s proposal
It made sense. Even Hex thought the request was a little...too much. Despite the vagueness of what the token truly represented, Jana had stated that most owners would humor all reasonable requests. The key word was reasonable. This wasn’t reasonable.
"Yes."
Hex didn’t hesitate. Neither did he look away. He did feel awkward staring straight into the man’s eyes but he had to appear confident. He was confident. But how did he convince a man he never met that he was the best bet to win this tournament? Unless he decided to reveal his secrets, his only chance was to appear strong and reliable.
"Do you have any idea how much that is converted into coins?"
A legit question. One Hex had feared would pop up. He didn’t know but considering that it took close to half a million of Wrixian coins to become a member, he suspected it would cost millions to reach the highest tier.
The owner didn’t wait for him to reply.
"That Eagle prince has received a sponsorship of The Anvil, a blacksmith merchant who has the best weapons in the world, and the Sky Tyrants, an organization specialized in winged-Druids. Their combined investment is equivalent to two hundred million Wrixian coins in value."
That guy was placed third in the ranking and still managed to get such a wonderful deal? It shocked Hex...and scared him. Two hundred million was a lot. And the third place received that much. It would be natural to expect a little more to be invested in him.
’If the owner knew this and still appeared in person, he had expected to invest the same amount at the minimum. The fact that he still was shocked about his request was telling. The highest tier is far more than two hundred million in coins.’
