Emperor Thunderpill's eyes nearly popped out of his skull at John's price. Based on what John had seen so far, Pill Emperor Thunderpill wore his emotions on his sleeve. He was sure that if the price he mentioned was high, Thunderpill would lash out loudly, while if it was reasonable, he would act more composed, but still say it was too high.
As expected, Thunderpill erupted in angered protest, doing nothing to hide his stance on that price.
"A million spirit crystals? Are you insane?" Thunderpill raged loudly.
His reaction was completely expected. John smirked, as he knew he had started exactly where he wanted to.
