After the brief introduction, Manik got to the point. "Since you already know what I do, let me be direct. I plan to buy all your herbs, but the price might be lower than what you'd get at a pharmacy."
"How much lower?" Raymond asked immediately.
"For ordinary herbs, I can offer 80% of the commission price. For main ingredients, I can go up to 90%. And for the key ingredients of intermediate potions, I'll pay the full price," Manik explained calmly, his tone sincere.
He continued, "These herbs are fresh, so their medicinal properties are intact. If they sit for another day, they'll lose their potency, and the price will drop even more."
Manik looked at the three of them with a knowing smile. "The reason the pharmacy didn't take your herbs is because they've already bought up all the stock they need for the last two days. If you try selling to them tomorrow or the day after, they'll refuse if the herbs aren't fresh."
