Benjamin quickly interrupted Ron's self-indulgent rambling.

If he continues, he'll have to pay Ron compensation for emotional distress.

"Sir Ron, it's been a long time! You've become even more valiant!"

"I am contacting you this time because I have something to ask of you."

"I haven't been recovering very well lately, and my nephew Ryder was also seriously wounded on the battlefield."

"So I'd like to buy some more Life Gems."

"Look at this price...?"

Benjamin looked at Ron expectantly before he finished speaking.

Ron gave Benjamin a playful look: "Oh! Is that so?"

"Unfortunately, I don't have many of my treasured possessions left. What am I going to do?"

"This is my lifeline, you have to pay extra!!"

Benjamin's expression froze: "As expected, this unscrupulous merchant will definitely take advantage of the situation."

"This business is really tough!"

"If his offer is too outrageous, just forget it. Five million is enough to recoup some of my losses anyway!"

After clarifying his bottom line, Benjamin spoke to Ron:

"Sir Ron, we're old friends, can we negotiate the price?"

When Ron saw Benjamin's troubled expression, he knew he couldn't push him too hard.

I practically ripped him off a while ago, so his wallet won't be bulging any faster.

Therefore, Ron only plans to raise prices by 10%.

Benjamin found it acceptable after hearing this.

He resold it to Edward for a 30% markup, making a 20% profit in one transaction.

"It's worth doing!" He made the decision after considering it in his mind.

Then, mimicking Edward's approach, he wanted to receive the goods first and pay later.

As a result, Ron refused without even considering it:

"No! I insist on cash on delivery!"

"That's the rule in our line of work!"

"If you don't agree, let's cancel this deal."

Just kidding, who knows if Benjamin will die in this interdimensional war.

Want to get something for nothing? No way!

Benjamin hadn't expected Ron to refuse so decisively, leaving absolutely no room for negotiation.

It's also something that can't be shown on the surface.

But when I think about the profit after reselling it, it's enough to buy half a starship.

I gritted my teeth and endured it!

"It's alright, it's alright. That's just how this guy is. Even the old ancestor was scolded by him. It's not shameful for me."

He tried to comfort himself while wondering where he could find some cash.

In the end, he decided to "take out a loan!"

First, borrow a sum of cash from the Empire and give it to Ron.

Then they sold it to Edward at a higher price.

After the interdimensional war, he will be able to recoup his investment with interest.

And so the two agreed to trade fifty "Life Gems".

Once Benjamin had raised the money, he would deliver the goods on the spot.

In other words, Benjamin was an idle person.

That's why I have time to do these things.

Everyone else is on battlefields in various parts of the Elf World.

On the other side, Edward gave the "Crimson Blood Crystal!" that he bought at a high price from Benjamin to the Adamantine Dragon.

Then, the large hole on the gold dragon head began to be enveloped by a ball of red light.

Edward stood to the side, watching with expectant eyes.

The red light did indeed work.

He could see flesh, nerves, bones, and the brain slowly growing out.

"Almost there, almost there!" He looked anxiously at the area that was not yet enveloped in red light.

Unconsciously, they let out encouraging and urging sounds.

Unfortunately, the red light eventually ran out.

That big hole, half of it is still empty.

Edward, unwilling to accept defeat, punched the wall next to him, triggering the internal alarms of the starship.

But Edward didn't take it seriously and said angrily:

"Damn it! So close!!"

It took him a while to calm his excitement and prepare to visit Benjamin again.

Benjamin had barely hung up on Ron when he learned that Edward had arrived again.

He chuckled to himself, then quickly invited the God of Wealth in.

Edward spoke immediately as soon as he entered:

"Master, please sell me some more Crimson Blood Crystals."

"Those methods worked, but the quantity wasn't enough."

"In return, I will pay you a nature spirit, as well as William's adamantite production for the next hundred years."

Please believe in my sincerity!

Benjamin's eyes lit up at the mention of nature spirits.

That's the final form of the Spirit Insect; each one has undergone countless evolutions to reach its current state.

The potions produced still have considerable use even for the Lord of the World.

Moreover, they themselves have reached the third level of life.

This is like adding a level 3 combatant to my ranks for nothing!

Benjamin certainly wanted it, but then Edward mentioned the adamantite dragon's output over the next hundred years.

That doesn't sound very plausible.

Whether Jingjinlong will be able to wake up is still uncertain.

So Benjamin hesitated.

It's hard to say the value of a nature sprite, because basically no one has ever sold one.

They were all destroyed and their lands were taken away.

Even after they were stolen, they were treated like precious treasures.

But considering the price of natural potions, coupled with the lifespan of nature spirits spanning thousands of years.

That's definitely enough, it's just that it takes too long to break even.

In the end, Benjamin couldn't resist the allure of the nature spirits and decided to make the deal.

He said to Edward:

"Great deal! I'll help you all the way through, Benjamin is definitely going to do you this favor!"

"You've searched so diligently! You're so kind!" Edward praised.

"I think you, Master Benjamin, also have a chance to become the chosen one of the world!"

"Oh! You think so too!" Benjamin exclaimed with delight, for this was the first time a demigod had praised him like this.

Despite his discomfort, Edward continued, "Of course!"

"I think that Ron is nothing more than a cheapskate!"

"He certainly doesn't have the magnanimity of Master Benjamin!"

"Well said! Well said!"

These words struck a chord with Benjamin, who had just returned from dealing with Ron, feeling utterly humiliated.

He's really annoyed with Ron.

Seeing that Benjamin was so interested in the topic, Edward continued filming in that direction.

The two chirped on Ron's back for quite a while before finally parting ways, satisfied.

Benjamin told Edward to go back and wait for news, which would be delivered to him in two weeks.

Edward wanted to ask why it wasn't possible now, but unfortunately, he was the one asking for help.

Let's not cause any more trouble.

Perfect timing, he also needs to consolidate his kingdom's army.

His legion suffered heavy casualties, but he was eager to see how William was doing.

They haven't even bothered with it yet.

It's time to go and make some arrangements.

It would be best to retreat back to the starship to recuperate for a while, since he, a demigod, is not here below.

It's easy for them to be attacked by elves again.

So during this two-week wait, Edward took the opportunity to finish up all these things.

And Benjamin?

He went to the Imperial Logistics Department, took out a loan, and withdrew a large sum of cash.

I'm getting ready to go find Ron to pick up the goods.

However, Guderian also found out that he had taken such a large sum of money.

He watched Benjamin's departing figure and murmured:

"I'm afraid it won't go that smoothly!"

He'd dealt with Ron before; he wasn't one to play by the rules.

"Benjamin is probably going to suffer a setback this time!!"
