"The fact that I'm signing a contract with you proves that I'm incredibly confident. If I can't finish the task as stipulated, I'll compensate you with enough spirit crystals! I was already willing to do that, so why are you still hesitating?"
The man's face stiffened, suddenly finding himself in a difficult situation. In truth, he was actually leaning towards Manse. After all, Manse had a seventh-grade alchemist badge on his chest.
No matter what Fane said, the man only saw a sixthgrade alchemist badge on his chest, so there was a lot of uncertainty. The allure of a hundred thousand spirit crystals was huge, but he did not want to waste time!
After Manse heard that, he let out a laugh, "I really don't know where you're getting all your confidence from. A mere sixth-grade alchemist actually dares to accept an assignment meant for a seventh-grade alchemist.
"I think you should know your place before you take up this task. A hundred thousand spirit crystals might not be much to you, but you'll end up wasting someone else's time!"
Manse turned Fane into a rich kid who never lacked spirit crystals in just a few words. The moment he said that the black-clothed man's eyes glinted as if he
suddenly understood everything.
The man looked at Fane with a meaningful expression as he pulled the contract away.
"Fane, I'm sorry, but I think Manse is right. You probably don't really need spirit crystals if you signed such a contract with me.
"If I had a lot of time, I wouldn't have minded making this deal with you, but my time is limited. I have to pick Manse, who's better."
