"Eight hundred thousand? No, that's too much, I don't have that much in my account," Reece refused.
Herag asked, "Then how much do you have in your account?"
"Six hundred thousand," Reece said.
"Show me your Talisman Stone, let me see how much there is," Herag said.
Reece frowned at Herag in annoyance but eventually showed his Talisman Stone, revealing the magic stone information which displayed: "768942."
"Doesn't that show over seven hundred thousand? Just write this number on the contract, not a single magic stone less," Herag quickly said.
"You're too greedy!" Reece said fiercely, annoyed that Herag didn't want to leave him a single magic stone.
Herag pretended to take back the World Staff, "Then let's forget about this deal."
"Fine!" Reece growled, quickly modifying the number on the contract.
Herag glanced and was satisfied, "That's more like it."
"Then hurry and sign it," Reece couldn't wait and quickly wrote his name on it.
Herag took the contract after Reece finished and prepared to sign his name too.
"Are you really going to make a deal with him?" Carolina couldn't help but ask from behind.
If Herag sold the World Staff to the Taylor Family, he basically couldn't return to Silver Moon City and would face punishment from Parker, which wouldn't be much better than death.
Herag sighed, "I have no choice, you see they're obviously targeting us. Rather than let them use various means to seize the World Staff, it's better to take this opportunity to gain some benefits. People have to adapt to the situation."
After saying that, he signed his name on the Rule Contract without further ado.
As he signed his name, the parchment automatically floated up and gradually disappeared.
"Alright then, hand over the World Staff to me," Reece said impatiently.
Herag took out the Talisman Stone, "First, transfer the magic stones to me."
Reece took a deep breath, took out the Talisman Stone, and transferred 768,942 magic stones to Herag, not one less.
Herag checked the Talisman Stone, confirmed the amount, and then tossed the World Staff over, "Here you go."
Reece quickly caught it, checked it to confirm it was indeed the World Staff, then stored it in the Space Ring, turned around without a word, and left the Rose Inn, seemingly heading back to the Taylor Family's territory.
After Reece had been gone for a while, Carolina asked, "Did you really make a deal with him?"
Herag smiled and took out another World Staff from a Space Ring, "Of course, I wouldn't mind doing this kind of deal a few more times."
"Was the World Staff just now a fake?" Carolina asked.
"Of course not, it was genuine, I just happen to have more than one," Herag said.
When he was in the X-617 World, he killed the Eye of the Storm's wizard and Malcolm, and when he was in the Demon Plane, he killed Medel.
Although Tessa died right before him, her Space Ring was already lost, so he didn't get her World Staff.
All those people's World Staffs ended up in his hands, and including the one he originally had, he now possessed four World Staffs.
But among these World Staffs, only Herag's original World Staff held control over the X-617 World.
On the surface, these World Staffs appear indistinguishable, and only when inside the X-617 World can they be verified.
Reece, operating on instinct, subconsciously assumed the World Staff in Herag's hand was the one originally from that world.
Moreover, he didn't specify in the Rule Contract, simply writing it as the World Staff.
Herag just wanted to give it a try and didn't expect Reece to be so eager for the World Staff that he overlooked this point, allowing Herag to exploit the situation smoothly.
"Why did you..." Carolina and her sisters suddenly understood upon seeing the World Staff in Herag's hand.
Herag laughed, "In that space, I took down some other wizards, and their World Staffs naturally fell into my hands. I never said I only had one World Staff."
"I see, but Reece will eventually find out, and then you'll have made an enemy of him. Someone like him won't just let it go once he knows he's been tricked," Carolina immediately pointed out.
Herag said, "I've already made him an enemy, our relationship can't get any worse, so I might as well gain some benefits."
Reece came here with the intention of threatening, and at this point, there's no need to be polite.
Herag checked his Talisman Stone and saw the magic stone balance: 893,010.
Nearly nine hundred thousand magic stones, plus another one hundred and fifty thousand magic stones in the Space Ring, meant he now had over a million magic stones in total.
This amount of magic stones was enough to support his cultivation resources for a long time, and it was a large fortune anywhere.
Carolina laughed, "You're making our job more difficult."
"I apologize for the inconvenience, would one thousand magic stones each as a token of apology be okay?" Herag suggested.
Handing over thirty thousand magic stones to appease three Level 2 Wizards was a beneficial deal no matter how you looked at it, especially since he was not short of money now.
"Hehe, that's lovely," Yushir giggled, immediately showing her Talisman Stone.
Herag added the three sisters as Talisman Stone friends one by one, then generously transferred one thousand magic stones to each, making the sisters beam with joy.
A few days later.
"Herag, come out here!"
Early in the morning, Herag heard shouting from outside the door, recognizing the voice as Reece's.
Reece was now standing in the lobby of the Rose Inn, yelling towards Herag's room.
He didn't dare go over because he knew right next to Herag's was the room of the Tapia Family's three sisters, making it potentially dangerous to approach.
Herag opened the door and walked out, the three sisters followed him out as well.
"Oh, if it isn't Mr. Reece? What brings you here so early?" Herag asked.
Reece threw the World Staff at Herag's feet, "This World Staff has no control, it's the wrong one."
"You never specified you wanted one with control, the Rule Contract was clear—just a World Staff," Herag said.
Reece sneered, "You're playing games with me, aren't you? Hand over the magic stones now and give me the World Staff with control, or face the consequences."
"No, if there's nothing else, I'll be leaving," Herag said.
Reece roared, "Stay!"
Magic power surged around him, and a vine emerged from behind, shooting out in an attempt to bind Herag.
Carolina stepped forward to guard Herag, and magic power surged from the sisters simultaneously, a hexagram witchcraft rune appearing in front to block the incoming vine, which quickly dissipated.
