A Deal 2 [Bonus]

"You may not believe me, or you may think I am only using a psychological tactic, but like I told you, my world is in the middle of its Summoning. Who do you think I could sell this Inheritance Crystal to that would give me the equivalent value it's worth?"
The eye remained silent for a while. As expected, Sylas could truly see the whole picture.
"Then you can just sell it after you've completed your Summoning."
"And die?" Sylas asked calmly.
His words were multi-layered. It could mean that the eye would just wait for him to die first and for the Inheritance Crystal to land in the hands of someone else… but he could also mean that trying to sell this Inheritance Crystal to the wider world could just end up getting him killed.
