After a long while, Old Man Ge gave a strange laugh, and then quietly quoted an extremely unreasonable price.
"This recipe...Tsk, tsk, I'll give you 80,000 quarks."
"Impossible! The silver potion is worth at least 150,000 quarks. Your bid is too low."
Raymond frowned and turned around as if about to leave.
His intuition told him that he shouldn't stay here for long.
But at this time, he heard the old man's tone become strange.
"Hehe... If I remember correctly, this [Power King] potion is the formula that our Giant Whale Chamber of Commerce was robbed by pirates last time... Although the sale of stolen goods is not prohibited in the black market, you should also know
The rule is, if the thief encounters the original owner and writes off the stolen goods, we have the right to pursue him..."
What... It's not such a coincidence, right?
Finally, that bad premonition became reality.
Just pick up a magic potion recipe and encounter the master of suffering?
Hearing these words,
In Raymond's heart, ten thousand grass and mud horses ran past.
It turns out that the Vulture Pirates robbed the merchant ship of the Giant Whale Chamber of Commerce.
Did you get this potion formula?
However, he then thought about it,
Could it be that this old guy deliberately deceived me in order to lower the price?
However, after hearing the following words, Raymond gave up completely.
A threatening sneer appeared at the corner of Old Man Ge's mouth, and he said: "If I remember correctly... the ingredients of this potion include eyeballs of thornfish, spirulina dust, giant foot poison seal ink... Of course, the most important thing is that it needs
Ten drops of heart essence blood from the sea lizard species Neptune."
The recipe ingredients that Old Man Ge memorized were accurate word for word.
Then, his tone became less polite: "I gave you 80,000 quarks not because I wanted to buy the formula. I wanted you to make a promise not to leak the formula. Of course, I also gave you some news.
..”
Old Man Ge's threat could not be more obvious, and he had the intention of taking action if he disagreed.
...
What a shame, I didn’t turn to the almanac when I went out!
Just take a magic potion recipe and sell it, and you will encounter this kind of thing.
The hood concealed the panic flashing in Raymond's eyes. He thought for a moment and then quickly calmed down.
The passive special effect of [Concentration and Calmness] made him surprisingly calm and made the most rational response.
Raymond narrowed his eyes and asked coldly: "Are you threatening me?"
Old Man Ge looked convinced of what he meant, and said with a sly smile: "No, I just gave you a reasonable suggestion. Of course, whether you can get these 80,000 quarks depends on whether the information you gave me is useful.
..."
Finally, he revealed his ultimate goal,
"I need you to tell me honestly where this recipe comes from!"
At this time, Old Man Ge's fierce aura suddenly appeared. Where could he find the slightest bit of morbidity?
He is like a poisonous snake on alert, capable of delivering a fatal blow to his opponent in an instant.
Anyone who secretly sells potion formulas would never have a big background. He had already determined that the Raymond in front of him was a habitual thief in the black market, and he definitely did not dare to refuse his proposal.
But what surprised Old Man Ge was that after hearing this, the young man in front of him not only did not show any timidity, but instead sneered a few times.
The formula of [Power King] has been exposed. Obviously, the old man is ready to pursue it to the end, and there is no room for maneuver.
Now this matter, even if we don't talk about money, can't be solved.
"Tsk tsk tsk tsk..."
Raymond had a plan in his mind.
After a pause, he said meaningfully: "If Vice President Vanessa were here, I think she would definitely buy this formula."
The "Giant Whale Chamber of Commerce" is the number one chamber of commerce in the Black Sea, and the number of pirates who dare to rob it cannot exceed the number of palms in the entire Black Sea.
Seeing how cautious and nervous Old Man Ge was, Raymond probably guessed which plot was triggered.
Calculating the time, it should be more than half a month ago.
An important merchant ship belonging to the Giant Whale Chamber of Commerce was robbed by pirates and there was no news about it.
If he guessed correctly, the vice president of the Giant Whale Chamber of Commerce should be in Philip's territory at this moment, secretly investigating the clues that the merchant ship was robbed.
Because, it is said that the Giant Whale Chamber of Commerce's merchant ship was robbed this time and a priceless treasure was lost!
Therefore, Old Man Ge plans to take advantage of others even if he sacrifices the reputation of the Chamber of Commerce.
He must investigate the clues to the origin of this formula!
...
"Do you know President Vanessa?"
Old Man Ge obviously didn't believe it, but he also had some doubts in his heart.
The affairs of Philip's territory that the vice president secretly arrived at yesterday are top secrets of the Chamber of Commerce, and it is impossible for the outside world to know.
How could this hidden guy in front of me know the whereabouts of the president?
"Don't worry about whether I know you or not..."
Now that things have reached this point, if you are not greedy, you will be even more timid.
Under Old Man Ge's shocked eyes, Raymond snorted pretending to be profound and continued to set out the conditions, "Give me 150,000 quarks and some potion materials. I will send you an important message..."
He dragged out the last word and said word by word: "Clues about your lost goods!"
...
"What...you know the clue?"
Hearing this, Old Man Ge stared, showing an unprecedented shocked expression.
He suddenly realized that the other party was obviously prepared!
Now that he knows such secrets, it seems that the guy in front of him is not here to sell the secret recipe for potions!
Perhaps he was the spy sent by the group that robbed the merchant ship?
No wonder...
This also makes sense why the [Power King] formula appears here!
Should this kid be arrested and interrogated?
Old man Ge showed hesitation on his face. He thought that since the other party dared to send people to test, there must be a way out.
Raymond probably also guessed how important his words were, so he bet that the old man would not take the risk.
The missing goods were of great importance, and this news would at least put him off guard.
...
Changes happen suddenly, there are too many loopholes, and changes happen late.
Raymond would not give Old Man Ge a chance to think carefully.
For such a cunning businessman, the more time he is given to think, the more flaws will be exposed.
"One hundred and fifty thousand quarks in cash, and I need these materials..."
Old Man Ge, half bluffing and half urging, actually completed the transaction by accident.
Before the old man had time to think about it, Raymond walked away with a bag of blackmailed potion ingredients.
...
Not long after Raymond left, a graceful and beautiful woman walked into the Giant Whale Pharmacy.
If Raymond were here, he would be able to recognize at a glance that this charming lady in palace attire is the vice-president of the Giant Whale Chamber of Commerce, Mrs. Vanessa.
He would never have thought of it,
What a coincidence. As soon as I left, Mrs. Vanessa came to this small shop.
At this moment, Mr. Ge stood respectfully in front of her like a slave, bowing and reporting the situation just now.
"The little guy said... The ones who robbed our merchant ship this time were led by the 'Golden Teeth Pirates', and also joined forces with the Vulture, Sea Skeleton, and Poison Dragon Pirates. I'm sorry, Mr. President, I paid two thousand dollars for this."
The price of one hundred thousand quarks..."
"No, Mr. Ge, you handled it well."
Vanessa listened and nodded, approvingly: "At least I got this news, the money is well spent."
"President Liao praised it."
Old Man Ge always looked terrified,
He did not dare to look at this charming vice-president in the face at all, and there was even a hint of imperceptible fear in his eyes.
"If it was really the Gold Teeth Pirates... it would really give me a headache."
Vanessa frowned slightly, with a sullen look on her face.
The Golden Teeth Pirates are said to be pirates, but in fact, their equipment and tactics are completely different from those ragtag pirate groups. Even the regular navy of the Tianlan Kingdom may not be able to benefit from them.
This pirate group is famous and is one of the three top pirate groups in the Black Sea.
They are powerful and even have the ability to directly conquer territory by force.
I heard that this group of pirates are the remnants of the collapse of the previous dynasty. Not only are they well-equipped, several of their leaders are former generals of the kingdom, their crews are well-trained and their combat effectiveness is extremely strong.
"It's no wonder that no news came out about this robbery. If it was someone from Jinya, it would make sense."
Vanessa murmured, and then a hint of helpless bitterness appeared on the corner of her mouth.
After all, when the old dynasty fell, their Giant Whale Chamber of Commerce stood in line and chose to support the new owner, which resulted in the prosperous scale of the No. 1 Chamber of Commerce in the Black Sea today.
Naturally, the remnants of the former Golden Teeth Pirates will regard the Chamber of Commerce as their enemy.
Old Man Ge said with a worried look on his face: "President, look at that man just now... Should we send someone to investigate? I just left some marks on that kid, he can't escape."
"No, I'll go there myself."
Vanessa waved her hand, her crystal eyes flashed, and she smiled calmly: "Giggle...a greedy little guy. He doesn't seem to have gold teeth. I'm also curious about how he knows this..."
