Phoenix Empire Envoy

Tting! Tring!

The sound of a jingling bell alerted the people sitting inside the room.

Dawn's eyes abruptly opened by the sudden sound of footsteps. He lazily opened his eyes and saw a handsome young man casually entering inside his tent. He was dressed in a tight outfit and used martial arts practice.

"Huh? Green Heaven Trading company. How arrogant, there's actually someone who dared to name their store after Heaven's."

The young man was actually good looking, he had a squarish-shaped face, bright eyes and thin lips. He looked like a teenage model.

The young man seemed to have taken an interest in the alleyway store where no one walked by, because of the arrogant name of the store.

Dawn once again closed his and started to meditate. As there wasn't anything that required his attention.

The look of disdain on the young man's face deepened when he saw the almost empty store with nothing in sight.

"Tch! I was interested in nothing. With conditions like these, you dare to name your store with such a grand name."

The youth said with a smirk on his face. However, Dawn didn't care about it. Following his example Harmon and Raven also didn't bother reacting and the rest of the soldiers were sleeping soundly so there was no one who could answer the young man's provocation.

"How dare you try to scam the people of their precious time." The young man smiled and said with a smirk on his face.

He was about to continue speaking when his eyes suddenly landed on the Apple of Vitality placed on the display stand.

"Apple of Vitality." The youth muttered in surprise, not believing his eyes. He rushed near the stand to take a sniff of it.

"Even the aroma is the same." Demian was even more shocked. Apple of Vitality was a sought-after treasure that was in short supply. How can this little run-down store have this treasure?

"Where did you get these?" Demian asked in an urgent voice, he needed a large chunk of these Apples for his elder sister who was seriously injured the other day. He didn't think the store would have enough so he wanted to know the source.

Harmon eyes shone with light after hearing the words of the youth. He smelled a huge opportunity to make a killing.

"Oh! you want these, as you are the first customer in the morning we can give you a discount. You can have one Apple of Vitality for only 10 mana crystals." Harmon said with a pained expression on his face. As if selling the Apple for 10 mana stones was a huge loss for him.

When the young man heard the price of Apple of Vitality. His eyes widened in shock and a vein bulged on his forehead in anger, a piercing scream echoed throughout the silent neighborhood.

"Oh, my Ancestors! A single apple of Vitality costs 10 mana stones? Will this apple revive my dead ancestors? Have you gone insane because of your greed?"

Hearing his scream, even Harmon felt he might have gone overboard. Raven who was standing by his side had a strange expression on her face, her face started to turn red in Shame.

Dawn suddenly got up and walked to the stand.

"Young man! This man here was just kidding. The real price of the Apple is 20 mana stones and it is non-negotiable."

The young man was dumbfounded after hearing the newly quoted price, his brain seemed to have short-circuited.

"Hmmmp!" Demian coldly harrumphed and turned around to leave the store without even looking back.

Harmon wanted to say something but looking at the indifferent expression on Dawn's face, he swallowed his words and chose to remain silent.

Dawn once again went back to his sitting position, once the young man exited the store.

"How greedy! Don't these bastards know the definition of economy of scale? Do they think they will become rich this way?" Demian kicked the stone lying in front of him and cursed with anger and frustration.

It wasn't like this that he couldn't pay, his Aswood family was one of the richest families in this city. But he didn't want to support such practice. What if tomorrow these merchants asked for even higher prices for other products?

If that happened he would strike the ax on his own foot.

"Young master Demian! Here you are. Your father is looking everywhere for you." Suddenly Demian heard the voice of his servants calling for him. A man in his thirties stopped in front of him, judging by his expression the situation seemed urgent.

"What happened?" Demian unconsciously asked with a frown. He had a bad feeling about the situation.

"The young miss's condition has worsened." The man spoke in a shaky voice.

Hearing his words, Demian's face turned pale.

Without even thinking he started to run with a single destination in his mind.

"Are all preparations complete, I will not tolerate any negligence." Crimson Destar spoke in a cold voice as he inspected the preparation. He was dressed in full-body crimson armor, looking extremely fierce and noble at the same time.

Hearing Crimson's words a man's with crooked nose bowed and solemnly said. " All the preparations are complete."

The castle of the Destar tribe was lavishly decorated from top to bottom. The entire floor of the castle was covered with the skin of a ferocious beast at Channel Construction Realm. The extremely beautiful chandelier hanging on the ceiling gave the castle an additional sense of majesty.

Crimson Destar had decided to go all out to impress the Envoys of the Phoenix Empire.

After all, they were his only hope. He didn't want to be forever stuck in the same realm and die of old age.

Crimson Destar had long run out his options, there was nothing in this world that could increase his lifespan other than breaking through.

Crimson Destar barely had 10 years left to live. Of course, the outside world didn't know about it.

Suddenly, a huge red whirlpool appeared in the room. The whirlpool slowly turned into a 5-meter-wide portal.

5 men wearing white robes embroidered with the Flaming Phoenix symbol walked out of it.
