Chapter 48: Trying to scam me again?
Meanwhile, elsewhere in the War Beast Sanctuary.
Nick was mentally preparing himself for a lengthy argument, should things come down to that.
At the moment, he was leaning on the wooden counter with a heavy look on his face, as the last few times he had visited this place had all turned out to be sour memories for him.
He watched some staff carry away the Lamboda Beast’s corpse to be examined, while he waited eagerly for the results to come back to him.
’This fucking butchery better not try and rip me off again!’ Nick scowled internally, thinking back to the previous times he had visited with the Mundane Beast corpses, and the corpse of the Awakened White Ox.
All of those times, he had been scammed, given significantly less than the market price of those beasts.
He was determined not to fall for the same schemes as before, though, now that he was dealing with the corpse of a Mutant Beast!
He could stomach losing a couple thousand from an Awakened Beast’s corpse, but the amount of money involved when dealing with Mutant Beasts was too much to even consider taking the unfavourable offer!
"Ssss... This little runt actually managed to bring in a Mutant Beast this time... Just what has he been up to outside of the Sanctuary!?"
Naturally, murmurs from other customers who weren’t there to witness Nick returning through the gates dragging the Lamboda Beast, began to spread like wildfire.
The Lamboda Beast was just too recognisable amongst the other veteran Altered, so the attention came naturally.
