The jewelry merchant remained unfazed, casually moving the sword away with his finger, his expression troubled.
"Five thousand is already quite a lot. I don't know where you got these items from, but considering the sheer volume, they must have come from dubious sources, right? Apart from us, no one else would dare to buy them..."
The merchant took advantage of Feraus's lack of experience.
These items, if sold separately, could fetch much more than a few thousand gold coins.
Anyone else would have realized they were being swindled, but Feraus found the merchant's words reasonable.
"Can you add a bit more?"
Feraus asked through gritted teeth, reluctant to part with the wagonload of treasures he had risked his life for.
After all, he had betrayed Kellman and now had to worry about the risk of being hunted by Howard and Chris, neither of whom were to be trifled with.
