Chapter 188: Negotiating Terms With Me?

“The demonic core, huh.” Marcus lowered his eyes and pondered for a moment. They had spent a great deal of effort to obtain that item. If nothing unexpected happened, it could be auctioned off at an ideal price.

However, if they were to conduct an offline transaction right now…

Marcus curled his lips and an idea suddenly flashed through his mind.

“How about this, you guys don’t have to worry about these things. Just leave everything to me.” Marcus stood up and patted the table in front of him. “Put these potions away for me first. After I have finished discussing with her, we will make arrangements. No one can leak this information out. Do you understand?”

Everyone nodded quickly.

Reginald looked at Marcus who stood up. He originally wanted to follow him, but he was stopped by Marcus with a look.

“Mr. Reginald, it can’t be? As the president of the auction house, do I need you to go to great lengths to follow me to discuss business?” Marcus’ mouth curved up with a hint of ridicule.

Reginald sneered in his heart. What did he mean by following him? He had been in this auction house for so long, and everyone knew what kind of character Marcus was.

He would always think of ways to take advantage of small things in all kinds of places, but they could not be considered as small things, right? In short, the amount of money each time would be more than enough to be squandered in an ordinary family’s lifetime.

“I didn’t mean that. I just wanted to let you know.” Reginald tried his best to make his expression look flawless. “Miss Catherine is a very important person, so please…”

At this point, Marcus basically understood what he meant.

“You really know me well. But you should know that although you are much better than me in terms of identification, in terms of business, I feel that there is still a big gap between you and me.” He pointed at his temple. “Especially here.”

Reginald’s expression turned ugly, but he could not say it out loud because of his face.

He could only watch as Marcus left. His hands by his side tightened slightly.

Catherine was absolutely very important to them. No matter what, they could not let Marcus succeed this time. However, based on his position, it might be difficult to persuade him to stop.

However, if another person joined in, everything would be very easy.

At the same time, Audrey, who was on the second floor, was already watching the auction venue.

The auction she was at now was extremely large. Even the treasures that had appeared at the very beginning were very precious. Moreover, there were a group of masked people sitting below the stage. Just looking at them made people feel that they were either rich or noble.

Audrey propped her head up with her hand and looked at the list written on the table. Only then did she notice that there was also a level-10 potion auction today. It was a good opportunity to give her a reference value and let her see how much her potions were worth.

A moment later, there was a knock on the lounge door.

“Come in,” Audrey said and saw a person dressed in a noble robe walking in. His every move was filled with elegance.

“Miss Catherine, sorry to have kept you waiting.” Marcus smiled politely. “We’ve already discussed the batch of potions you provided us. We also know what you want.”

Audrey nodded and waited for a reasonable reply.

If the deal was successful today, she would be able to produce the potion she needed as quickly as possible.

“However, it’s a pity that after our professionals’ calculations, the things you provided us aren’t enough to pay the price of that Fey Core.” Marcus changed the topic.

When she heard this, Audrey had already guessed the intentions of the person in front of her. She even felt that it was a little laughable.

A bottle of level-10 potion that she had sold for a sky-high price had been placed in front of him three bottles of level-10 potion, yet he had said that it was more than the price of a fey core.

It had to be said that he was indeed a businessman. Every move he made revealed a desire for money.

“So what do you mean?” Audrey said softly without showing any dissatisfaction.

Just hearing this tone, Marcus felt that he had already succeeded by more than half. He sneered in his heart, thinking that the person in front of him was really a little girl. She actually believed what he said so easily.

“Actually, it’s because the level-10 potion that you provided us is too precious, and we firmly believe that you should have other channels to obtain these things. So, we prepared an agreement.” Marcus smiled and took out a thin piece of paper from his pocket.

He placed the paper on the table and said softly, “As long as you can guarantee that every bottle of level-10 potion you refine will be provided to us in the future, we will directly give you the fey core. There will be no need to go through the auction process.”

“Is that so?” Audrey looked at him. After being stared at by those azure eyes, Marcus actually felt a little afraid. “Do you think that I refined all these potions?”

Marcus raised his eyebrows, feeling that what he said was reasonable. “After all, ordinary people can’t take out so much at once. Therefore, under all sorts of deductions, this idea is the most accurate.”

He continued, “If you agree, then correspondingly, our auction house will provide the greatest help that we can provide.”
