Domination System

Chapter 42

Sky feather city trade market,

Merchants were as many as the eye could see. A huge chunk of them trying to patronize people into buying their goods.

A man stood out from the crowd gathered in the market. With his bright green hair and handsome face, he was a particularly dashing man.

Justin adjusted his shirt a little bit as he looked around trying to decide on which place to sell the necklace.

He was penniless, homeless and hungry. He needed the money as soon as possible.

A particular shop caught his eye. It was unlike the others around it, with an allure that drew one's spirits to it. It was certainly a shop he’d choose to trade.

Trevor sat on a chair dozing off. Today was another uneventful day. They hadn’t had any patrons since the past few days. He was pretty sure today was going to be like always.

“hello” a pleasing male woke him from his thoughts.

Trevor jolted a little as he quickly fixed up his look. Placing his glasses better than before he bowed as a greeting. “g...goo...good day s...sir”

Justin nodded at the fat man. He brought out the amulet from his pockets and tendered it on the table. “let’s cut straight to business. How much can I get for this?” Justin asked.

“ah....” trevor's mouth hung open seeing what the guest had put on the table. He knows a high quality good when he sees one. This necklace was a high grade one no doubt!

“i...i'll be ba...back miss...mister. Give me a s...second” Trevor shook as he entered the shop to get something.

Justin frowned, he needed to complete this deal as fast as possible. His stomach was killing him! And no...he wasn’t going to touch the bread the system had!

Trevor hastily combed through the scattered items on his workshop table. He had to find his microscope fast! Who knows if this man was his only chance today at trading something.

*rumble* Justin’s stomach complained at the lack of food for the past days now. “hush boy, pap will attend to you very soon....” Justin rubbed his stomach.

Trevor finally found his microscope and was on his way to checking the object the man had brought him.

As be stretched his hand over go grab the amulet, Justin’s hand slapped his wrist deterring him. “what do you thing you’re doing?!” Justin romped the amulet from the table, keeping it back in his pockets in one swift motion.

Trevor sighed with an awkward smile as his fat face sweated a bit. “ sir, i would have to check the quality of the amulet before I can further any proceedings with you” he said.

Justin looked suspiciously as the man. He didn’t trust fat men (his wife was stolen by a fat man....). “you better be careful with that thing, it’s worth more than you may know” Justin said sounding a bit rude.

Lord Lee wiped his sweat off his face, this man was really overbearing. “Ah sure sure” he said as he once again reached out and took the amulet from Justin although with a little bit of work.

Justin reluctantly let go of the amulet as his body tensed up watching the man check the amulet with his mini microscope. He was starting to feel he had made a wrong choice by coming here to trade.

The longer he took to check the necklace, the more Trevor’s expression brightened up. He just struck gold!

“sir, would you like to come inside so we can talk more on the amulet?” Trevor put down the amulet and kept his microscope as he flashed a broad smile at Justin.

Justin considered his options, it'd be nice stepping out of this scorching sun for a change. “alright then.” He got up and followed Trevor into his shop. His guard was up as he entered the shop.

A nice scent attacked his nose, it was such a sweet smelling scent he felt like all his problems could be solved by just perceiving it.

The interior of the shop was vastly different from that of the exterior. Although the appearance of the shop wasn’t too shabby, some could even say it was pleasing to the eyes, the interior was a thousand time more beautiful than the exterior could be.

It was like a rich man's parlor right in the shop. Only thing that felt out of place so as the table filled with tools and what not.

“Take a s...seat mister” Trevor pointed his hand at a comfy looking chair beside Justin. “wh...what would you l...li....like mist...ter?” Trevor asked Justin, offering him a drink.

Justin sat on the couch, feeling the cold air in the environment he relaxed and nodded his head. What better than a nice drink to go with this feeling?

Trevor smiled as he quickly rushed to get some wine for Justin. He had to treat his guest very well.

After everything had been settled, Justin sat upright with the amulet in his hands and went straight for business. “so then, how much are you buying?”

Trevor chuckled “ This am...amulet is made of scyrian j...jade which i...is a rare mat..terial in current times. I would offer you f...fi...five million manbres f....ah!” before the man had finished talking, Justin had already gotten up and prepared to exit the shop.

He wasn’t ready for this s**t, this amulet was worth not less than nine million and this fat b***h wanted to play on his intelligence.

“ah es...esteemed g...guest don t be s...so quick to le...leave” Trevor was flustered. He couldn’t lose this client!

“I can see you aren’t ready to do business, I’ll go meet someone who’s ready for that” Justin said in a cold voice and opened the door.

Trevor rushed and held Justin back “ ah no s...sir, t...take a sit. I am ready” Trevor begged with puppy dog eyes.

Justin snorted and lightly pushed the man's hand off his. This man was pissing him off but he had to keep going.

He went back to the chair and sat. With a serious voice he asked again “So, what’s your price”

“E…eight million…” Trevor offered as he kept wiping the sweat off his face. Even in the cold air he kept sweating!

“twenty million!” Justin said blatantly. “ I won’t accept anything less than that” hunger could wait, business was paramount.

“eh?” Trevor confirmed if he heard correctly. The man was asking for twenty million?!

“benevolent sir, even though the jades are rare their worth isn’t up to that. Please reconsider your asking price” Trevor hurriedly said.

“hmmm, alright then. I’ll reduce it to fifteen million” Justin said twirling the wine glass in his hand.

“ahem…sir, even for a merchant like me that price is still took expensive. Please go lower” Trevor was last portraying now. He needed to score this deal!

Justin arched his brows. It seemed this man really wanted to get this deal. To be honest, he was really just shooting things in the dark. He didn’t even know the worth of the jade.

“lowest I could go is twelve million. Take it or leave it.” Justin dropped the wine glass on the table and stood up, seeming ready to leave.

Trevor started sweating more and more. ‘I have to stall for time or this man would leave!’ was all he could think about.

“okay okay, twelve million it is.” Trevor finally agreed.

“hehe, now you talking” Justin helped Trevor get up as smiles filled his face. He had just struck his first deal!

“so…how do I get the money?” He had been so focused on getting the money he hadn’t even thought about how he was gonna ‘get' the money

“ah, it’s simple. I’ll just transfer the money to your SFC account. Perharps…does sir not have an SFC account?” Trevor asked seeing as Justin was confused when he spoke about SFC.

“No I don’t. What even is SFC?” He had no clue as to what the man was falling about
