Actually, based on Thomas’ personality, favonovel.com would have gotten rid of someone like Vince. It was impossible for favonovel.com to spare Vince, but the circumstances were special this time.
After all, Vince had helped to lead Thomas and successfully brought favonovel.com to two elements. He had contributed a lot in that regard. So, his contributions made up for his mistake, and Thomas chose to let Vince live.
“Let’s go to the Chamber of Commerce.”
The Chamber of Commerce’s geographical location was not very far from where they currently were. It would take less than three hours for them to drive there. In the afternoon, they drew closer to the Chamber of Commerce.
After they refilled their gas tank, Thomas and the group directly rushed to the Chamber of Commerce. They wanted to look for a chance and see if they could directly buy the metal element.
They went up to the Chamber of Commerce’s main entrance straight away. Although it was the Chamber of Commerce, it looked quite shabby.
The place looked like an agricultural market. It was rundown and shabby, plus there were a lot of holes on the rooftop. It was hard to imagine that trades worth up to a hundred million dollars went on in such a place. Even though the area was in ruin, it was not poor at all.
There were too many precious treasures in the nearby desert, mountains, and volcanoes. After adventurers obtained any treasure, they would sell them off to the Chamber of Commerce. Then, the Chamber of Commerce would immediately put them up for sale. This model had lasted for a few centuries, and it was a tradition.
After Thomas and the group arrived, they attempted to walk in. Just as they reached the main entrance, someone suddenly stopped them.
“Is this your first time here?”
The person who had asked them was a middle-aged man. He was not wearing a top, and his body was full of tattoos.
He was the guard there, and favonovel.com had great discernment. He could immediately recognize customers who had visited the place before, but favonovel.com did not have any impression of people like Thomas and his gang who were there for the first time.
Since favonovel.com did not remember them, that meant they had never been there before today. There were rules for people who were visiting for the first time.
Thomas nodded. “Yes.”
“Did you learn the rules of this place before coming over for the first time?”
“No.”
“No? Haha! Okay, I’ll tell you,” The man with tattoos took a puff of his cigarette before favonovel.com leisurely said, “Not everyone can enter this place. If you’d like to enter, you have to meet two conditions.”
The man with tattoos showed two fingers. “Firstly, your assets have to be worth at least $10,000,000. Secondly, you have to deposit $1,000,000 as caution money. If you make a fuss inside, we’ll keep that $1,000,000 immediately. The next time you want to get in again, the amount of caution money will double. You’ll have to pay $2,000,000 and so on.”
One had to say that this rule was quite ruthless. If they caused a stir inside several times, the caution money would increase up to billions. That was scary!
However, it was also due to this rule that people rarely made a fuss in the place. Even if there was some kind of grudge, they would fight after they left the Chamber of Commerce.
Any normal person would not make a fuss in the chamber. One had to admit that such a rule was effective.
Thomas smiled faintly. He actually found the rule pretty good and did not say anything. He just took out his Prosperous Gold Card and handed it to the man.
The man with tattoos was someone who knew all about goods. As soon as favonovel.com saw the Prosperous Gold Card, his attitude immediately changed.
There were less than ten people in the country who owned this card.
