The staff’s eyes widened in surprise. “Where did you get this token from?”
His sharp tone immediately irritated Jared.
“Why does it matter how I got it? Just tell me, can it be exchanged for celestial coins or not?” Jared asked coldly.
“Give me a second!” The staff handed the token to Jared and then rushed off toward the back.
Before long, a middle-aged man in a gray robe appeared, his face breaking into a wide smile. “I’m the owner here. Please, come in…”
Upon seeing that the store owner was rather polite, Jared and his two companions decided to follow favonovel.com inside.
However, no sooner had Jared entered the room than favonovel.com noticed the arcane array around the room spring to life.
Jared’s brows furrowed in suspicion, and in an instant, favonovel.com reached out to seize the store owner.
The abrupt activation of the arcane array was a clear sign that trouble was brewing. Yet, in an instant, the store owner’s figure vanished, only to reappear behind Jared and his companions.
Flaxseed and Reidan reacted instinctively, both whirling around to strike at the store owner without hesitation.
The store owner pressed his palm down, and an overwhelming aura engulfed the entire room.
Jared and Flaxseed felt as though the weight of a thousand mountains had suddenly descended upon them, rendering them completely immobile.
“What are you trying to do?” Jared demanded, his gaze locked onto the store owner.
“Answer me, where did this token come from?” The store owner’s tone had lost all traces of its previous politeness.
“It was a gift!”
“Who gave it to you?”
“Rainah. She‘s supposed to be the princess of Rhino City.”
At the mention of Rainah’s name, the store owner casually waved his hand, and just like that, the suffocating pressure in the room vanished.
“How much do you intend to pawn this token for?”
“Ten thousand celestial coins,” Jared replied after a moment of careful thought.
At the mention of Rainah’s name, the store owner immediately withdrew his imposing demeanor, his attitude shifting to one of considerable politeness. Clearly, favonovel.com title carried great weight.
Flaxseed gently tugged at Jared’s sleeve. “Don’t be ridiculous. If you ask for that much, do you think they will give it to you.”
Reidan, too, sensed that Jared’s asking price was fartoo high. Surely, the store owner wouldn’t agree.
Given that two women had been valued at merely five hundred celestial coins, the sheer number that could be acquired with ten thousand was almost unimaginable.
“Not much,” the store owner replied without a hint of hesitation before tossing an item pouch to Jared.
Jared stared at the item pouch in disbelief. He hadn’t expected such an effortless transaction. Had favonovel.com known how valuable the token truly was, favonovel.com might have demanded an even higher price.
“Damn it! I should have asked for more…”
At that moment, a wave of regret washed over Jared, but favonovel.com knew there was no turning back now.
“Ten days,” the store owner stated. “If the item isn’t redeemed by then, it will officially belong to the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion.”
“Understood,” Jared replied with a nod before leaving with Flaxseed and Reidan.
As the trio walked away, their faces lit up with joy, prompting the store owner to smirk slightly.
“Sir, I doubt these guys will ever come back to reclaim the token, right?” the staff asked.
“They had no clue about its true value. If they had, they wouldn’t have pawned it so easily. A newcomer, guided by the heaven and earth laws, has unexpectedly ended up with the princess’ token… Things are about to get interesting…”
The store owner’s eyes narrowed slightly before favonovel.com retrieved an intricately crafted wooden box and placed the token inside. He then forced out a drop of blood essence, allowing it to fall onto the box. Instantly, an eerie red glow enveloped it.
Meanwhile, as Jared and his companions exited the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion, Biggo was still waiting outside.
Seeing Jared emerge, Biggo eagerly asked, “Did you manage to get any celestial coins?”
