Chapter 55

"(And hesitantly, the old man asked) ... What for ... sir?"

"Exactly. If you tell me why you're practically selling out, and I find you convincing, I'll accept your offer. (Said Noah expressionlessly) "

"(Sigh)… My daughter is very sick, sir, and the medicine that can cure her is too expensive, my wife and I tried to get the money several times, but getting that amount was being impossible. So, seeing this I… "

"So, to get the money, did you decide to sell everything you had, including yourself?"

The old man lowered his head and replied "… Yes…"

"But what about your wife and daughter, what will you do about them?"

The old man didn't understand what Noah meant when he said that, so to clear up his doubts, he raised his head and asked "Huh? … What do you mean, sir? "

"You will become my servant if I accept your offer. So obviously, you would have to follow me everywhere I go. Knowing this, tell me, how would you take care of them, even though you are so far away? "

Without having what to say to answer that question, the old man just remained silent while lowering his head, but Noah continued saying "To save your daughter, would you even leave the two behind? You wouldn't miss it, or ask me to let you come and see them, right? "

Tears started streaming down the old man's face, and as they fell he said "Yes sir ... I will not ask permission to return ..."

"…Are you sure about that? Know that I don't like undecided people. "

"…Me…"

"Why are you doing this to him? Just say whether you will accept his offer or not. " said the girl, after she had calmed down.

After the woman said that, all the people who were previously silent, started shouting "Yes! Be quick and respond quickly! "

"That's right!"

"She is right, answer me soon!"

With all those voices in his head, Noah was annoyed and said, "If you can afford it, feel free. But if not, just be silent and don't bother me! "

But even though I said that, it was only in Noah's mind 'You bunch of idiots! Why would I want an old man like that? The only things I'm really interested in are the items. If you want, know that you can stay with him. '

After Noah said that, all those people who were screaming before, stopped. And seeing this he said "(Sigh) And then old man, will you be able to stay away from both of them, for the rest of your lives?"

Seemingly sad, the old man spoke while he cried "I will try, sir. But if you can't, you can… "

"No, we are going to make a new deal. I will only take your items, and I will still pay the price agreed earlier. "

"What!? But sir, these things are not even worth all that money. " said the old man.

After Noah said that, phrases like "Really, how stupid can this kid be?" began to circulate among the people, who were still whispering.

"Pay 70 red crystals for all that garbage?"

"Just another stupid rich man!"

But there was something that those people didn't know, Noah didn't care about those crystals at all, because all that came into his head was the desire to get stronger and stronger, and if this technique could help him achieve that, hundreds of crystals would still be few.

"Sir, I got these things out there, it's really impossible for them to be worth that much, which is why I…"

"So you tried to sell yourself with things, so that the price would increase in the end?"

"…Yea…"

"It doesn't matter to me, just tell me if you are going to accept it or not, so I can keep looking around." Noah said as he took the space bag in his hand.

'Even though he said that, I really wanted to know where he found something that even alerted the system, since it didn't even happen at Sophia's house…'

"... Sir ... are you really sure about that?" asked the reluctant old man.

"Of course!"

'Especially because you would be just another useless expense, and I don't want that. Now, if you were a useful person in battle, or in other activities, who knows… '

"So ... I will accept your offer, know that I am really very grateful for that." said the old man, weeping with happiness.

Noah had the space bag in his hand, but he didn't know how to use it, he was trying to put everything in there, but nothing happened.

"... How do I use this?" asked Noah confused.

After those words, everyone around him thought at the same time, "He's really an idiot."

It's okay for someone to spend so much money, even if it's on useless things, because the money is his and nobody else's. However, spending so much on things you don't even know, do you know how it works, or even if it works? For them, people like that are certainly idiots. And for those people, that was what Noah was, "A complete asshole!" and nothing else.

"… Sir, you just need to put a little IQ on it. " explained the old man.

"Ah, really. Thanks!" said Noah, relieved that he had finally managed to use that.

"You're welcome, sir. But could you… "

"Of course, I will pay you, but can I ask you one more question? And this is just out of curiosity, so if you want, you don't have to answer me. "

Although Noah said that, behind his smile, the old man realized that those words were not entirely true. And so he replied, "Sure sir, you can ask."

"Could you tell me what illness your daughter has?" asked Noah, smiling.

And without even hesitating the old man replied, while showing on his face, the great sadness that he was feeling "Freezing fire, sir."

When the old man said that, everyone looked at him in fright, but what was most impressive to Noah was that even the system paid attention to that.
