Chapter 239 [Bonus ] Screw Him!

The merchant managed to sell each core by double their prices at least, and that meant he gained at least two hundred and fifty thousand crystals extra as profit just from the difference in the cores' prices alone.

William didn't think too much about this. The merchant got his chance, and he had all the right to make the best out of it.

And William was sure if the merchant acted greedily, waited for much longer to get better prices, then this would backfire at him.

The prices of these cores were destined to fall in the upcoming few days.

For William, what mattered was that he gained all the items he needed. He secured lots of his spirit crystals, without the need to waste much time or effort or worry about anything.

The first thing he did when he came back was to check on the two girls. "Still needs more time," he closed the door behind after checking on them, then made a meal for himself and ate his lunch.

The sun was about to start its descent journey to leave this world for the night clutches, and so he decided to take a short nap first.

After sleeping for a couple of hours, he began to examine what he gained from the market in his study room. He took out different things and started to arrange everything in his different storage rings.

"That kid from the Golden Sky academy really loves potions," William found at least one thousand vials of different potions inside the ring he collected from that kid.

Aside from potions, he also found lots of bronze and white grade gears and weapons, lots of materials, and the spirit crystals left by this kid.

William added all the spirit crystals in his possession in one ring, the ring he got from that dead kid. And with them he placed the potions as well.

As for the materials like ores and herbs, even monster materials, he placed them in one ring, the one he got from the Long clan as a gift.

He placed the monster cores he gained from the Long clan with the spirit crystals.

The last ring, the one he got from the merchant, William placed in it all the weapons and gears he got either from the merchant or from the loot of that dead kid.

"It's all sorted out," William was free to work on his next step, "time to draw out arrays and…"

*Knock!* *Knock!*

It was almost close to midnight when he got done from doing all this. Most of the time he spent was to sort out the tons of materials he gained either from the market or from the Golden Sky disciple's ring.

Just before he'd start working on the next task, he heard a loud knocking on the door, startling him for a moment.

"Oh, you came back!" William opened the door to be met with a familiar face.

"How can I get any rest while you are inviting chaos and problems everywhere you go?" Berry started complaining the moment she saw his face.

"What? I didn't do anything!" William closed the door after checking that Lude wasn't anywhere to be seen out there.

"Humph! Says the one who set the entire academy on fire!" Berry sat on a seat, faced William who stood all in confusion and doubt.

"What do you mean? I didn't set anything on fire!" William grabbed a seat and sat opposite to her, "I don't like fire, don't own any fire spirit element like you."

"Funny," she stretched out her tongue, and even despite resisting it, a faint smile appeared on her face while William started to think about what she just mentioned.

The first thing that popped into his mind was about what he did back at the Spar arena. He hoped for the news to get to the ears of the headmaster, but not to spread out like this and reach Berry.

"Come on! The entire academy is already speaking about what you did! And you don't know? How silly is that!"

"..." William didn't speak, and just put a neutral mask on his face, one that Berry couldn't see anything through.

"Tsk! Who told you to give out the cores my grandfather gave as rewards to the team? Do you know how enraged my grandpa is?"

She finally said what she was referring to, and William couldn't help but inwardly heave a sigh of relief. However, in the next moment, he realised another thing.

"This… Is he mad about that?!" William thought he'd stir that stubborn old man's rage the moment he'd hear about his deal at the market.

Yet it seemed that the old man got hyped up even sooner than him going to the market. And that made him heave a sigh of relief, knowing that he got lucky to act fast and secure such a deal before the prices of the cores would plummet.

'That poor merchant… I hope he won't keep the cores for tomorrow or else…'

"Yes! He never wanted you to use these cores! I was with him when he heard the news, and I'm telling you… He is very angry about this."

'Screw him!' This was the answer William wanted to say on the spot, yet kept it confined in his mind chambers, "they are mine. Why is he mad about what I do with them? "That was the gentler version of his answer. And yet that made Berry more anxious than relaxed.

"He says you gave him a different reason for getting them. And that's why he plans to flood the market with these cores in the upcoming days."

"Let him do what he wants," William already got what he desired from these cores. And he was going far away from here starting from tomorrow. So, trying to soak the market with these cores wouldn't hurt him too much.

"You… You already knew about this?!!" Berry could tell from the calm look over William's face and his tone that he didn't get a bit surprised by what she said.

And that meant he already was aware of such a thing.
