Chapter 80:Pay Me

With that said, Glaint watched as a young lady got up, wearing a black dress with a lady's hat and a black face mask that covered her nose.

She had two small brown briefcases at her side.

"Is the gentleman who requested a custom order here today?" she ask with a slightly nervous voice.

'Custom order?' Glaint thought doubtfully but he watched as Adryan spoke as he raised his hand.

"Here I am, tell me, miss, is my order ready?" the question was asked in a calm tone but Glaint noticed how the lady had straightened her back, this made him raise an eyebrow in doubt under his mask.

'It seems that the lady is nervous, did he scare her somehow? Also, what is this personalized request that Mr. Adryan made?' Glaint thought confused when the lady spoke but her nervousness was more noticeable.

"Your order was completed successfully and following all your specifications sir, I am sure you will be satisfied"

"That's good to hear, so how much would it be?" Adryan asked still calm but under his mask he had a sharp smile.

The lady seemed to feel this and she swallowed hard for a moment before answering.

"Thanks to you providing the main material the price has been greatly reduced so that it will be 2,400 pounds in total sir"

Thanks to the fact that he was close to Adryan Glaint heard how he clicked his tongue very softly but then he responded calmly.

"That seems fine to me"

This answer seemed to calm the lady down a lot, who relaxed her shoulders and spoke much more calmly.

"Inside this briefcase is your order, don't worry, the briefcase is included with the payment, would you like me to explain the effects of your order or do you prefer to read the note inside the briefcase that explains the same thing?"

Adryan gave a soft laugh as he answered.

"I'd rather read the note, after all I wouldn't like any of the party members to know the color of my underwear, don't you think so miss?" he asked sweetly to the miss who had a forced smile on her face as she answered somewhat tense.

"I think the same sir"

'Mr. Adryan is a bully,' thought Glaint flat-faced as he saw this.

'Grandpa, why do you make me go through these things!' the young lady thought anxiously in her mind.

Adryan took many strips of bills from his cloak and placed them on the worker's tray, all under the envious eyes of the party members who watched as the tray was filled with money.

These strips were organized into 10 strips with 20 10-pound notes each, another 2 strips with 10 10-pound notes each and another 4 strips with 10 5-pound notes each.

When the money was completed the worker carried the tray up to the lady who looked at this with the corners of her mouth trembling.

'Luckily I brought another briefcase...' thought the young lady, the money was delivered to her.

She quickly counted all the money to ensure it was complete and when she verified this she handed one of her two brown briefcases to a worker who handed the briefcase over to Adryan.

Adryan just took the briefcase and opened it a bit and looked at what was inside, Glaint wanted to know what was inside but the redhead only opened enough to only let him see what was inside.

Glaint watched with barely contained curiosity as Adryan just nodded and reaching into his briefcase he pulled out an envelope sealed with a simple metallic yellow seal.

The redhead simply broke the seal and took out the letter and began to read.

Glaint saw how Adryan stared at the letter for a long time but then he put the letter back in the envelope and then put it in his cloak.

Then the masked Adryan turned to see him and seeming to understand what he wanted he just let out a soft laugh as he answered in a low voice.

"I can't show you my cards~"

This made Glaint frown as he turned his head ignoring the redhead.

'He really is a bully' thought Glaint annoyed.

Glaint then watched as a man got up from his seat and spoke.

"I'm looking for slumbers charms, does anyone have them?" asked the man looking around, he was dressed in a simple suit and a mask that came up to his nose.

"Here I have 5 Slumber Charms, 3 pounds each." A man said as he got up, he was a thin man and quite young for the voice, dressed in a brown suit and a plain mask that covered his entire face.

The first man was silent for a few moments before nodding and speaking.

"I only need 2"

The younger man accepted this and placed the charms on a worker's tray while the other placed 6 pounds on another tray and the process was completed.

Glaint wished he could see the charms but due to the distance he couldn't get a good look at them but Adryan raised his hand and spoke.

"I want the remaining 3 Slumber Charms, do you have the Dream Charms too?"

The young man was surprised for a few moments but he quickly recovered and responded.

"Deal and yes I have 2 Dream Charms, 5 pounds each, the price is non-negotiable." The young man spoke with a business tone and Glaint watched as Adryan nodded.

"I accept" answered Adryan calmly, some workers came and repeated the same process as before.

Glaint observed this astonished, these trades had been quite fast.

He watched as Adryan grabbed the charms from the worker's tray and thanks to him being close he could see them.

There were in his left hand 3 rectangular pieces of silver and in his right hand 2 semicircular pieces of silver, both seemed to have unrecognizable writings.

'It looks like Hermes but I'm not too sure but it seems that the writings in the semicircular are much more complex,' thought Glaint seriously when he saw this.

All the nobles were expected to know how to speak various languages ​​including hermes and ancient hermes so Glaint could 'understand' what was written on the silver pieces.

'The rectangular pieces are the Slumber Charms and the semicircular pieces are the Dream Charms'

He watched as Adryan looked at the charms for a few moments before tucking them into his cloak.

"I'll tell you what they are when the party is over" Adryan whispered to Glaint who nodded excitedly and under his mask he had a smile.

'In the end Mr. Adryan is not as bad as I thought!' thought Glaint cheerfully.

Now somewhat motivated he got up from his seat and spoke aloud.

"I'm looking for the Apothecary potion formula, is there anyone who has it?" As he asked that he began to look around but after 2 minutes passed without anyone saying anything Glaint just sit down visibly disappointed.

"I told you~" the redhead said amused, turning his head quickly he looked at Adryan's mask but he could feel the smile that the man had, this made him clench his fists.

But no matter how angry he was, he wasn't going to talk back to Adryan.

He was not going to give him that satisfaction!

'I was wrong Mr. Adryan is a complete and hopeless bully!' Glaint thought as he bit his lip and a vein throbbed in his neck.

Trying to distract his mind from thinking about the extremely annoying redhead, he tried to think about how he was going to get the potion formula from Apothecary.

That's how the party continued and Glaint didn't buy anything that was traded, he was only interested in the formula of his potion.

So after an hour, when a trade was completed Mr. Eye of Wisdom rang a bell and got up from his seat and standing in front of the group spoke.

"The party is over, now you will proceed to leave the party one by one, wait your turn"

When Glaint heard that he couldn't help but let out a disappointed sigh, he hadn't been able to get his formula.

The first to leave was the lady who carried the briefcase filled with money with one arm through 1 of the 5 exits, 5 minutes passed and the two of them were next.

They left the party and with Adryan in the lead, they moved stealthily through the dark streets of Backlund.

After a while they stopped in an alley where Adryan removed his mask and Glaint did the same.

"Then Mr. Adryan, could you explain to me what the Dream and Slumber Charms are?" Glaint asked somewhat excited.

He may not have gotten what he wanted at the party but that didn't mean he would go home empty handed!

Adryan just smiled sweetly at him as he asked in amusement.

"Sure but what will you pay for this knowledge?"

This caused Glaint's face to break.
