Upon hearing the Hanged Man's request, Derrick the Sun agreed almost without thinking. "Of course."
In theory, according to the trading method invented by Emperor, the Hanged Man had to pay at least 1,000 pounds in compensation to participate in the transaction.
However, Derrick remembered the Hanged Man's "help" and advice just now. So even if the Hanged Man only paid a symbolic amount, he was willing to let him listen in.
But doing so seemed somewhat disrespectful toward Emperor. After all, Emperor had given him a discount, yet he was using it to "repay a favor."
Thus, after agreeing, Derrick scratched his head and asked, "Sorry, Emperor, I didn't ask for your opinion first."
Hobart did not particularly mind. As long as he got nine main ingredients at sequence 8 level, that was enough for him. Alger had not defaulted on his debt either, directly valuing one main ingredient at 300 pounds. To Hobart, that meant he had immediately sold one main ingredient. He was making a profit.
He said, "Since you're paying most of the transaction fee, you can decide."
At that moment, Audrey raised her hand. "Mr. Sun, I also reminded you of a few things at a previous Tarot Club gathering. Could you invite me to join this transaction as well? Of course, I'll also help you pay with Extraordinary Materials. How about two? I'll pay Emperor 600 pounds and cover two Extraordinary Materials for you."
The reminder she referred to was when the World had just joined. She had told the Sun the approximate value of Extraordinary Materials, helping him avoid being taken advantage of.
Although Audrey's finances had been tight over the past few months, she still had around 700 pounds in gold and spending money that she could freely use every week.
