Chapter 1727: Chapter 524: Sweeping Goods at the Black Market, Tons of Treasures_4

But now there is no need for such evasions.

These fellows at the Black Market have probably made a copy through various channels already.

Accordingly, what was unique has become a duplicate, and its value is certainly greatly reduced.

But Leonard Churchill and his party were after the Secret Skills, not collectibles.

Of course, the cheaper the better.

In addition, the catalog listed some high-tier ancient Armor, weapons, and other relics.

It must be said, merely the catalog itself is enough to make one green with envy.

Sophia Jones nodded with satisfaction as she looked, pointing directly at the list: "These... these... these... and this one... I’ll take all these. Name your price."

She did not point them out one by one, but smartly skipped over some.

Some were because they already had them, there was no need to buy repeats.

And it was also to let the seller know they already had them, to further ensure that she was truly a serious buyer, not someone causing trouble.

Sure enough!

The old woman, upon hearing this, saw the last trace of doubt in her eyes dissipate, her face beaming with a smile as she quoted: "Since you are buying so much, esteemed guest, I won’t waste time. The Demon God Secret Skill for a million Gold Coins, other Classic Books for a hundred thousand, this batch for thirty thousand... If you pay with Magic Cores or Crystal Cores, you can get a 20% discount."

Sophia Jones arched an eyebrow slightly upon hearing this.

Paying with Magic Cores was cheaper, she could understand; at a time of war, Magic Cores were a strategic resource, more valuable than Gold Coins.

But... so cheap?

One should be aware that the Fifty-two Demonic God Secret Skill is a Supreme Treasure for any card master, yet it’s only a million? That’s just the price of a higher-tier relic on a regular day.

Sophia Jones guessed it must be a counterfeit and said coolly: "I’ll pay with Magic Cores. But I want a 50% discount."

"Ah, this price..."

The old woman wailed, "If you’re sincerely interested, the lowest I can go is 70%."

Leonard Churchill of course knew that 50% was really low, and he chipped in: "Yes, esteemed guest, you might not know this, but bringing you to the Owl Magic Shop guarantees you the best price in the Black Market."

The old woman thought Leonard Churchill was speaking on her behalf; after all, the higher the selling price, the bigger her cut, and she quickly echoed: "Exactly, exactly! I guarantee that you won’t find a lower price in the Black Market."

Unified pricing, this is the monopoly power that only a few veteran snakes of the Black Market have managed over many years. Suppliers must also comply with it, or else no one in the Black Market would buy their goods, and they wouldn’t be able to sell anything.

Leonard Churchill also followed up: "Yes! It’s the cheapest you can get!"

However, Sophia Jones understood Leonard Churchill’s Dark Intention and countered directly: "60%! Otherwise, we’ll go to another store."

The old woman’s eye twitched as she listened: "This..."

This blow struck right at the old woman’s heart; to sell would mean slim profit, but not selling might mean another store might make the sale.

With such a major customer, you hope for repeat business. If she walks away, the loss would be significant.

Sophia Jones did not beat around the bush and turned to leave immediately.

Leonard Churchill feigned panic convincingly, and the old woman could only grind her teeth and swallow her pride, calling out hurriedly: "Alright, alright! 60% it is!"

Sophia Jones then turned back, taking out a Storage Ring: "Count this."

The old woman took the Storage Ring and saw it was crammed full of Magic Cores and Crystal Cores.

So many High-Level Magic Cores, only the treasure vaults of great Nobles could come up with such an amount.

Looking at this, the old woman no longer had any doubts, and took out a few more lists: "I also have another catalog of goods here. If you, esteemed guest, need anything else, I can fetch it from the warehouse. I guarantee you can buy everything in one go."

This list was certainly not from her shop but belonged to others in the trade.

In the Black Market, these old snakes also exchange goods with one another on a regular day to secure customers and prevent them from going to other competitors.

When Leonard Churchill and Sophia Jones saw this list, they smirked internally.

This saved them a lot of trouble.
