– You didn’t say it would be a high level!
The stone in his hand was similar in shape, but slightly larger and its brilliance could be seen much purer and more intense. It was impossible to take the eyes off the first time.
– Sorry, I forgot that you are desperately poor. – He defended himself, with an innocent expression – You should have asked before. Now you sound like a young man looking for excuses, unable to “support his own decisions” …
– ………!
This person definitely enjoys teasing me! …
He looked for a moment at the object in his hand. It was relatively small, but it felt like holding a mountain. And it was not for less … a single high-grade stone was equivalent to … 10,000 low level stones!
It energy was so pure that it was impossible to use it to cultivate. That resource would only be reserved for the wealthiest domain cultivators. How could he guess that he would simply give him such a treasure? And how spoiled could that person be to part with such an object as if nothing had happened?
– Either way, this is too much to rent a house…. It is even too much to buy one! I can’t use it …
– Mmm … – he murmured, slightly agreeing – It seems perfectly valid for me, but … uffff, it’s okay … – he sighed, shaking his head with a disappointed gesture – It is brave to admit that one is immature and even unable to fulfill his decisions. You can return it then … – extending his hand condescendingly.
– You … – he muttered, clenching his teeth.
Never in his new life had he wanted so badly to regain his powers to hit someone. There was no way in the world for him to return the stone on those terms, but he also didn’t want to keep it and incur another huge debt.
– All right! – He exclaimed suddenly, with a renewed expression – To obtain housing you say … I can spend it on that.
– It is agreed …
– I’m going to spend it! …
– My ears work perfectly …
– Jah … I’m really going to spend it! – He repeated like crazy, and then turned to the manager, who was still coming out of his shock.
– D-Dear customer! Congratulations on your good fortune, I imagine you will want to exchange it for smaller stones. Our central headquarters can …
– No! – He flatly rejected, retrieving the stones he had removed.
– H-How do you say?
– I don’t want any change. Quin … are we leaving …
– Ay ay. Brother … that’s a lot of money isn’t it? – She inquired, with stars in her eyes.
– Young … Wait! We can offer you the best …
While the manager called desperately, Bran did not slow down and went determined in one direction.

A chubby man was crossing his feet on an elongated anvil, while cleaning his ears and looking at the unexpected client.
– What do you want brat?
– You have this place like a pigsty …
The man’s mood awoke a little at this attack.
– What does it matter to you? Boy, go play around if you don’t want to meet my less friendly side …
– You are the owner?
– Of course … of everything you see … – raising a strange eyebrow.
– All right! I want to buy it…
– To buy? – He inquired, unprepared – What do you want to buy?
– Everything. The house and the workshop. So get your butt up and bring the scriptures.
Silence.
The man froze for a few seconds until he took his belly and nearly fell off the chair.
– P … P-Pfffffff … hahahahahaha … com … buy the house you say … pffff ahahaha … You? – He pointed out laughing out loud – Today’s children are creative. Here … because you made me laugh, I will give you some coins …
~ Tok
Bran’s hand rested on the anvil violently, propping up a ruddy stone of beautiful luminescence.
– D-Dear mother! …
~ Plop!
The man lost his balance and fell dramatically backwards, but without even caring, he rolled over and sat up on all fours, crazily moving toward the anvil to take a closer look at that object.
– T-T-T-This … this is …!
Then Bran withdrew his hand and put the stone behind.
– This is what you think it is. Now about that …
– Yes! Yes, yes, yes … Did you say buy? Hehe … young man, you’ve come to the right place. I was just meditating on life, and the need for a change of scenery. Sell the property? It was right in that part … – he declared with very little credibility. Then he put on his best smile, rubbing his hands together. – So… what would your master’s offer be? You should know that this property is worth … several medium level stones … – he ventured vaguely – I know that it is not in its best condition, but with a little …
– This is the offer …
Bran smirked and showed his hand again, occupied by the gleaming cosmic stone.
– Sorry?
The man temporarily locked himself, really confused.
– Are you deaf or blind?
– Kuhum … Y-You mean … to … – pointing at the stone in disbelief.
– Is there anything else I can refer to?
– ………
The man was speechless for a moment, but then he calmed down and shake his head in disappointment.
– This … young man … – in a condescending tone – You have probably been sent by some capricious rich man, and he has not informed you well. You can buy more than one house with it. Rather, I don’t know … let’s say an entire block. – He explained, trying to calculate with his fingers – Or maybe several? How much is in gold? Hell … I can’t even say it! You should check and come back …
– I know what it is, and nobody has sent me! This is the only offer I am going to make. Take it or leave it. You have five seconds … One! … – withdrawing his hand slowly.
– I take !! … I take it! Absolutely … Wait right there! …
Then he entered the house at full speed, and it seemed as if his legs couldn’t move fast enough not to miss this opportunity. Although there were very strange things in all this, at that moment he was completely blinded by greed.

– Crazy … hahahaha. Completely crazy! …
Two days later, the exclamations of a pompously dressed chubby man resounded through the shouting of the betting arena. As the beasts ran intensely, he couldn’t stop thinking about the last days.
When his mind went a little cold, he felt a little afraid that this young man had stolen that fortune from someone dangerous, or was some kind of scam. However, when he returned and saw the man who exuded the finest lineage next to him, his heart was quickly flooded with ambition.
It had been half a day since the deal had been formalized and nothing would take away his bulky fortune. Even so, he was still incredulous of the truth about the situation.
When he learned that Lehm had casually given him a high-grade cosmic stone for housing, he thought he had definitely lost his mind. But then that boy doubled down … And wasted it all on his own face!
The most absurd thing is that, in the end … They were both smiling widely!
– Hahahaha … Crazy! From cover to cover! And what matters to me!
At this point, he couldn’t care less what went through those heads, but certainly that duo was at least really entertaining to watch.
