Chapter 110 - Black Market

Despite the long walk ahead, Axel was excited to meet Navi and learn more about their next mission. He knew that it would not be an easy task, but he was ready to face any challenge that lay ahead. As he continued to walk, he started to understand that when one becomes strong, ordinary things cease to exist, which creates some sort of distance from ordinary folks, which is not a good thing for anybody unless one decides to live on an island alone without any care of the world.

Axel walked for several hours until he finally reached the small town where he was supposed to meet Navi. He looked around and saw a few small shops and houses scattered around. It was a peaceful and quiet place, quite different from the bustling city he had just left.

As he walked down the street, he saw a familiar figure sitting on a bench outside a small café. It was Navi, the woman he had called earlier. She had her laptop open and was typing away, completely absorbed in her work.

Axel walked over to her and greeted her. "Navi, it's good to see you," he said with a smile.

Navi looked up and smiled back at him. "Axel, it's good to see you too," she replied. "How was the airship?"

"It was quite eventful," Axel said, as he sat down next to her. "I managed to take down several members of the Skull Kings organization and found an ancient Neopian relic called the Hammer of Judge."

Navi raised an eyebrow in surprise. "Really? That's quite a find. Is that the relic you called me to ask me to sell?"

Axel nodded. "Yes, I was actually hoping you could help me with that." "I have no official ownership of it, so I need to find a good buyer who won't ask too many questions."

Navi leaned in closer, her eyes glinting with excitement. "I think I might be able to help you with that. I have some connections in the underground market who might be interested in buying it."

Axel smiled in relief. "That's great news. Thank you, Navi."

Axel sat down beside the Navi, and a young woman with a black cap came over to ask about his order. Axel orders a pie and a black coffee. He was about to ask when the mission was going to start, but he did not.

He waited for his order and did not say anything. At that time, Navi looked up at him and then started talking.

"So, the mission will start in two days; we will be waiting for others here and then go to a place where an airship will take us to our destination. At that time, I will be paying you guys your upfront payment."

"Also, I will make a call for your item; I believe we will have a response before the mission starts."

Axel nodded, and his pie and coffee arrived. He started eating as Navi got up and started talking on the phone. After about three minutes of talking, Navi came back, and with a smile on her face, she started talking.

"The buyer is okay with paying seven billion jennies for the price; after all the cuts, you should take 6.5 billion jennies; do you think it is okay for you to sell it?"

Axel thought about it and decided it was a good plan. In the end, there was nothing he needed to do, and it would make sense for him to sell it.
