The Supreme God of Martial Arts novel Chapter 153

The clerk's eyes shone in excitement as Austin slammed a three-level beast core on the counter. Evident on his face was pure ecstasy as he glanced at Austin and back to the organ of the beast.

With his field experience and expertise, he recognized that it was a genuine three-level beast core.

The rough and ragged looking man who threw the beast core was just like any other typical man he would encounter on the streets--someone he would not waste time on. But because he was here as a client, he would definitely lose his job if he would not treat him as one--with full special service. He hastily took a quick breath and flashed a rather wide and creepy smile at Austin.

"Nice to meet you, son! You're so lucky to get such a treasure! Where did you get it? I wish I am as lucky as you are! You're going to make a fortune! You must have no idea how much this three-level beast core is worth! Let me tell you! This costs a whopping one thousand vital energy crystals! Hard to believe, right!" the clerk exaggeratedly waffled.

He had concluded with his own imagination that Austin must find it somewhere. It was common for low-grade fighters to find the core of higher level diabolic beasts, which were killed by accident or died a natural death and of sickness.

'The sun must have been shining so bright to this man!' The clerk thought.

Austin looked just like any other normal man. There was nothing that screamed so special about him. This was why the clerk thought from the beginning that he was not capable of killing a three-level beast.

He couldn't help but glance at Austin again with an admiring look for the windfall he got--selling a beast's core without exerting the slightest effort.

One thousand vital energy crystals were a large fortune for him, while he had to work hard for almost half a year to obtain it.

Meanwhile, Austin had realized by now what the clerk was probably thinking, and he didn't bother to argue with him. It would be better to show him how skilled he really was. The next moment, he drew out his space ring and poured a heap of beast cores on the counter.

"This is all I have. Please take a look and let me know how much I can take with me." Austin said in a light voice as if he was greeting an old friend.

He pretended not to notice what registered on the clerk's face.

His eyes and mouth dropped wide open, unable to utter a word at the sight of the beast organs before him.

Not ready to accept this setback, he rubbed his eyes and stared at the pile of beast cores in front of him.

Seconds passed and the clerk had done nothing but rub his eyes and examine the beast cores, not daring to look into Austin's eyes. "Wow, w-wait a moment! I..." the clerk was still unable to complete his sentence.

"45 three-level beast cores and 3 four-level beast cores, altogether," Austin said and pushed them a little forward.

The clerk choked as if the beast cores had taken away the power of speech from him.

Austin was surprised with his surprised reaction and touched his own nose, wondering why.

"What's the matter? If these are not what you people are asking for, I'll trade it to the store next door," he asked in no hurry.

"No, no, please don't go! These are precisely what we need. Please forgive my rudeness!"

The clerk finally came to his sense at Austin's warning. He wanted to slap himself out of embarrassment. He couldn't believe he almost let a big customer slip.

If Austin began to grow impatient, the shop owner would fire him without any hesitation.

What was more, if this negotiation went on well, he could earn a commission that would amount to one thousand vital energy crystals.

The mere thought of the incentives he would get, the clerk turned jolly. A big smile grew on his face.

And he hurriedly came out from the counter as if being chased, brought a wooden armchair and wiped it with his sleeve before Austin sat down. Then without any delay, he went in the room behind the counter and took a cup of tea for Austin.

"Please make yourself comfortable, sir. And this is a cup of first-class green tea and served only for very important customers such as you. It can clear away the exhaustion and is good for fighters. Please enjoy it!"

Austin chuckled at the clerk who now turned obsequious upon learning his true capability.

"Please wait a moment, sir. You got too many beast cores here, and I can't tell exactly how much I should pay you. Look at the four-level beast cores! They're so beautiful! I'll go and ask our appraiser to come here, and you can discuss it with him later. And uh, if you may sir, I would like to request a favor. Please tell the appraiser that you're my customer and put in some good words for me! Thank you very much!" the clerk said, bowing submissively.

Austin paid no attention to him and instead thought of what he would do after he was done here.

"I'll be waiting," he said without expressing a definite reply to the clerk's favor.

A moment later, an old man with grey hair arrived, and after negotiating, he gave Austin a total of 80, 000 vital energy crystals for all the beast cores he had.

The forty-five three-level beast cores were worth half of the total price while the three four-level cores were much more precious and were worth much more.

It was just as he had expected. Even a fighter at Earth Realm would not usually slaughter a four-level diabolic beast if they ran into it.
