The Fake Heiress Turns Out to Be a True Tycoon! novel Chapter 810

Chapter 810: Chapter 810: Becoming Stronger Together

"No way!"

Inside the room, Lionel Strickland sat in front of the computer and turned his head to shout at him in a rough voice, "I’m losing out!"

Ashton Todd wasn’t intimidated at all by the shout, and even boldly retorted,

"How is it a loss? It’s just a Ghost Gate Fragment, something no one would even pick up if it were lying on the ground. Eight hundred eighty-eight is already high!

This price is only because we fought together before. No one else gets this deal."

Lionel Strickland looked at him in disbelief,

"What worthless fragment? That’s the fragment I pried off the Ghost Gate!"

Back then, when he casually took that piece, he got entangled with the Underworld’s ghost officers for a while.

"Anyway, eight hundred and eighty-eight just won’t do."

Lionel Strickland rarely showed his stubborn refusal and suddenly sensed Scarlett Jennings approaching, immediately turning his head with a look of delight,

"Milady, have you come to see me?"

Ashton Todd seemed evidently happy to see Scarlett Jennings too and hurriedly waved at her.

Scarlett Jennings simply said, "I came to take a look."

She glanced at the two of them, "What were you saying about a fragment just now?"

Upon her inquiry, Ashton Todd immediately excitedly recounted how he summoned the Ghost King with his suona performance,

"I’ve never felt so powerful. I thought it was all thanks to that Ghost Gate Fragment, so I wanted to buy it from him. Then I could ask a teacher skilled in magic artifact creation to modify it, and I could have more protective magic artifacts, right?"

Even after he offered eight hundred and eighty-eight, this Ear Mouse still wouldn’t sell the fragment to him.

Scarlett Jennings: ...

For a Ghost Gate Fragment, eight hundred and eighty-eight is indeed a bit low.

Not to mention that Ghost Gate Fragments are rare. Any magic artifact requires a hefty sum to stack up materials, doesn’t it?

It’s not surprising that Lionel Strickland would reject it.

"Eight hundred and eighty-eight is too cheap... I’m losing out."

In front of Scarlett Jennings, Lionel Strickland wasn’t shouting at Ashton Todd anymore. Despite his massive frame, he lowered his head, eyes glancing towards Scarlett Jennings, looking aggrieved and seeking support.

Scarlett Jennings then asked, "So what’s the price you actually want to sell it for?"

After a pause, as if realizing something, she suddenly asked him,

"What price did you quote Ashton Todd?"

Lionel Strickland hesitated as she asked, feeling a bit embarrassed but carefully said,

"F-five thousand?"

Scarlett Jennings: ...

If the Ghost Gate knew the value its fragment was being priced at between these two, it would probably cry.

But remembering the price he quoted when she proposed buying a Phoenix Feather, it wasn’t really surprising anymore.

This Ear Mouse seems to have no idea how valuable the things in its possession are.

She then looked over at Ashton Todd.

He managed to bargain from a five thousand quote down to eight hundred eighty-eight, that’s bold.

No wonder Lionel Strickland wouldn’t agree.

Receiving Scarlett Jennings’ gaze made Ashton Todd feel a little guilty as well. After some thought, he bit the bullet and increased the quote.

"Then nine hundred ninety-nine! That’s really my final offer!"

As he said this, he didn’t forget to look at Scarlett Jennings, "You know, I’m poor."

Scarlett Jennings: ...

No, she didn’t know.

Scarlett Jennings originally wanted to help Lionel Strickland a bit, when Ashton Todd suddenly looked outside, "Greta hasn’t woken up yet. I was thinking, the Shadow Energy on the Ghost Gate Fragment is heavy. If I modify my suona with it, maybe it could help wake him."

Whether it was the incident at the Living Corpse Village or this time in Sea City, Ashton Todd was keenly aware of his weaknesses.

He lacked capable offensive techniques.
