Distress

"The total for 500,000 fresh Tier-1 monster carcasses sums up to 501,530,000$. However, since you were willing to sell a total of 4752 Tier-1 Artifacts and 521 Tier-2 Artifacts in our little shop…, 5.3 billion dollars will be transferred to your account," The shop manager said, his back drenched in cold sweat.

When he first received his subordinates' call, he didn't think too much about it. Yet, seeing more than 5,000 Artifacts in the hands of a single Lord was more than enough to make his heart skip a beat. 

The shop manager had no idea where the Artifacts came from, but that was not important. The only important fact was that he could contribute to the profits of the Bartholomew Corporation by selling the Artifacts using the Bartholomew Shop Managing system. 

As long as he sold all Artifacts at a high profit, he was bound to obtain a generous bonus. The thought of a bonus excited him, causing him to treat Michael much better than before.
