Chapter 1632 High Profile
Gromel Clan was definitely a strong clan, but it was not at the same level as the five top ones that fought for control of Lebgram Continent. With that said, they most likely wouldn"t get the attention of the top five and instead be pursued by people at the Gromel Clan"s level. Well, at least that was the plan.
Rean got Kentucky to change into his human form and follow him. That would give them some extra presence. In the bank, Rean immediately asked for the manager of the place. This was the center of the Lebgram Continent. Naturally, it had a lot of Transition Realm cultivators and demon beasts. Even Void Tempering Realm cultivators weren"t anything that rare. Nevertheless, when thinking about each person and demon beast, those at the Transition Realm were rare to interact with every day.
That"s why the manager of the bank immediately came to attend Rean. Transition Realm cultivators still demanded respect, let alone two. As for Roan, he brought Celis out as well and was outside, watching the interaction. "I"m the manager of this bank, Bigas. How can I help the two sirs today?"
Rean nodded with a smile before answering in a clear voice, "I have a large quant.i.ty of Rank Two Divine Stones to trade. Can we go to a more private area?" One didn"t need to be a genius to know that Bigas wasn"t the only one to hear that. It was just the start of their plan to catch attention.
Bigas immediately smiled back. Naturally, his bank wouldn"t reject such good deals. "Of course, sir. Please, follow me."
He then brought Rean and Kentucky to a concealed area where they didn"t need to worry about eavesdropping. However, Bigas wasn"t the only one there. He was also accompanied by an expert from the Gromel Clan that came out just for this deal. Rean and Kentucky could tell that the man was at the Peak Stage of the Transition Realm. Most likely, Bigas was afraid that Rean and Kentucky would try to force something with their higher cultivation. Well, neither of the two was the least bit worried about the extra guy as Rean made his offer. "I have ten thousand Rank Two Divine Stones that I wish to trade for Rank One Divine Stones. How many Divine Stones can you get me for them?"
Bigas" heart almost stopped there. Let alone him, even the expert in the corner of the room couldn"t help but widen his eyes. Even half that amount of Rank Two Divine Stones was a fortune for him. Obviously, that also meant a huge deal for the bank.
Bigas then took a deep breath before asking, "Can sir prove you have this amount?"
Rean nodded before holding a spatial ring in front of Bigas. He took his protection of the spatial ring off, allowing Bigas to take a look inside. Sure enough, Bigas sent his Divine Sense into the spatial ring and immediately saw the ten thousand Rank Two Divine Stones. There was no mistake there. "Th-Thank you, sir."
Bigas then pondered over the issue. Naturally, he couldn"t offer the standard price since Rean would definitely ask for more because of that huge amount. If he insisted, Rean would simply leave the bank and go somewhere else to trade, which would be the worst thing possible. He would definitely be blamed for losing such a huge deal. "H-how about 23 Rank One Divine Stones for each Rank Two?" Usually, the normal price was 20 per each.
As mentioned before, a Rank Two Divine Stone had around ten times the amount of Divine Energy as a Rank One Divine Stone. However, because they were much rarer and especially because they were much better to cultivate with, the price was much higher than just ten times the amount.
Rean closed his eyes in response. Back when he traded the first ten thousand Rank Two Divine Stones, he got a deal of 27 Rank One Divine Stones for each. "Sure enough, the prices don"t change much regardless of the continent. Should I force the prices up to 27 again? No, I don"t want to look desperate. Instead, I want to look like someone who has even more of them."
Having come to a decision, Rean then made a counteroffer. "25 Rank One Divine Stones, and we have a deal. I"m sure you know the other banks would love to accept such a good trade." In the end, he didn"t ask for 27 like last time.
Bigas pondered a bit before replying back, "Can we make it 24, sir? I have to show some results for the higher-ups, after all. I"m sure the other banks will try the same thing even if you said that."
Rean laughed in response. "Hahaha! Alright, alright. I won"t make things difficult for you. At least you won"t say I"m being petty with such a small issue. You"ve got yourself a deal."
Rean"s words immediately caught the attention of the expert watching the trade and Bigas himself. It definitely looked like Rean had many more than that. "Could it be that this guy found a hidden Divine Stone mine? Or maybe he robbed some other big power that we don"t know about?" Well, their first thought wasn"t far off the mark.
Bigas didn"t waste time, though. "Please wait a moment. I"ll immediately prepare the Divine Stones for sirs." Even if the Gromel Clan intended to do something, they absolutely couldn"t do it in their own bank. They would definitely wait for him to go out. First of all, there was a good chance that they would inform someone else about this deal instead. Besides, since Rean spoke in a loud voice outside regarding his huge number of Divine Stones, they can simply say that it was his fault for being robbed. He wasn"t careful enough to hide his intentions in the bank. If he said it was the bank"s people that came after him, they would have the perfect excuse to deny his words.
Eventually, Bigas came back. "Here are your Divine Stones, sirs."
