During the ride in the private car, Captain Gao Feng called a manager from the HR Alliance whom he knew.
"Hello, Old Fang! It's me. Of course I've got something good for you, otherwise why would I call? It's definitely worth more than a hundred million. All right, no problem."
After chatting for a while, Captain Gao Feng finally hung up. Smiling at the other team members, he said, "I've already arranged things with Old Fang. Once we get to the mall, we'll head straight upstairs."
Luo Xia and the others nodded.
That was the benefit of having connections.
Many complicated procedures and steps could be skipped with a single phone call.
Not long after.
Luo Xia and the others got out of the car and entered the HR Alliance mall's main hall.
"Mr. Gao Feng, Manager Fang is already waiting for you upstairs."
A delicate-looking woman with neat, ear-length short hair that made her seem sharp and capable immediately stepped forward with a smile when she saw Luo Xia and the others get out of the car. She spoke to Gao Feng.
"Mm."
Gao Feng nodded, gestured to Luo Xia and the others, then followed the woman toward the elevator.
As Luo Xia and Luo Feng passed through the lobby, they glanced toward the bar but did not see Xu Xin.
"It seems like university has started these past few days," Luo Xia said.
Only then did the disappointment on Luo Feng's face fade.
Led by the woman, Luo Xia and the others took the elevator up to the twenty-first floor.
Outside the elevator was an enormous lounge.
Luo Xia swept his gaze across it. The lounge alone covered nearly three to four hundred square meters.
There were long sofas along one side of the lounge.
At the moment, several people were sitting on those sofas, waiting to meet Manager Fang inside.
With Captain Gao Feng's connections, Luo Xia and the others naturally did not need to wait.
Thus, amid those people's frowning stares, Luo Xia and the others followed the woman into Manager Fang's office.
The office was lavishly and extravagantly decorated.
"Old Fang!"
"Gao Feng!"
Captain Gao Feng greeted the bald, round-faced Elder seated behind the desk.
Manager Fang rose with a beaming smile and came forward to greet Gao Feng and the others. "Judging by the looks of you, your haul this time wasn't small. Come, sit over here."
Luo Xia and the others sat down on the sofa.
As Manager Fang had someone pour tea for Luo Xia and the others, he smiled and asked Gao Feng, "So? What kind of goods did you bring this time? You were being so mysterious over the phone. Let me see them."
Gao Feng grinned. "Old Fang, I'll broaden your horizons today. You may be a big manager who has received many Warrior squads, but what we brought is probably something even you rarely get to see."
As he spoke, he looked at Luo Feng and nodded. "Luo Feng, take it out."
All the Silver Moon Direwolf materials had been gathered into Luo Feng's Backpack.
He glanced at Manager Fang before smiling and opening the Backpack. He took out the Silver Moon Direwolf's most valuable item: its pelt.
The entire pelt was spread flat across the tea table. It looked like a flattened Silver Moon Direwolf, and one could still faintly sense the savagery and danger left behind by the monster.
"Silver Moon Direwolf!"
Manager Fang shot to his feet in shock.
"Good heavens. A Silver Moon Direwolf of this size must have reached the Advanced Beast General level, right? With a Silver Moon Direwolf's speed, even a powerhouse who had just entered the War God-level would generally find it difficult to catch and kill it!"
Gao Feng rose with a chuckle and led Manager Fang forward to inspect the pelt. "Old Fang, look. This pelt is still exceptionally intact."
Manager Fang nodded. One glance at the fur was enough to tell that it had been skinned along the wounds. The cuts were extremely smooth and had barely damaged the fur elsewhere, leaving it remarkably complete.
Silver Moon Direwolf fur was extremely valuable. Whether it was made into clothing or used to manufacture special Combat Suits, it could sell for an astronomical price!
"Wait a moment!"
Manager Fang suddenly said.
Then he ran toward his desk.
He swiftly took a Combination Lock Box from the bookshelf behind the desk.
Manager Fang carried the Combination Lock Box back and smiled at Gao Feng. "All right, Gao Feng, stop dragging this out. Take out the Silver Moon Direwolf's other materials as well."
Gao Feng nodded and gave Luo Feng a look.
Luo Feng immediately took the remaining materials out of the Backpack.
Eyeballs, claws, fangs, skull...
As the materials were laid out on the tea table, Manager Fang's eyes lit up. "You collected everything quite thoroughly!"
As he spoke, he opened the Combination Lock Box and took out several instruments that Luo Feng and the others could not understand. He began scanning and examining the materials.
A moment later.
Manager Fang revealed a relieved smile. "These materials truly came from the same Silver Moon Direwolf, and its strength was indeed at the Advanced Beast General level!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Gao Feng, who had seen the instrument readings beside him, also smiled. "It should be an Advanced Beast General close to the Lord-level!"
Manager Fang smiled and shook his head. "Right, of course that can't be hidden from you. All right, name your price."
Captain Gao Feng glanced at Luo Feng.
He had already called in a favor to arrange this meeting, so it would not be appropriate for him to name the price here. It was better for the team's Newcomers, Luo Feng and Luo Xia, to say it.
Luo Feng smiled and asked, "Manager Fang, what price do you think would be appropriate?"
He tossed the ball back to Manager Fang.
Before coming to the HR Alliance, Luo Xia and the others had looked into it.
For an Advanced Beast General monster, the HR Alliance would generally offer between fifty million and five hundred million Hua Xia currency.
For a high-level monster like a Silver Moon Direwolf, the price would be even higher.
Manager Fang glanced at Gao Feng. Seeing the man's smiling face, as though the Newcomers' words represented his own intent, Manager Fang pondered briefly before saying to Luo Feng,
"How about this? These materials are indeed excellent. Six hundred million Hua Xia currency!"
This was already a very high price.
Even as an HR Alliance manager, he rarely handled transactions this large.
The body materials of some Beginner Lord monsters generally sold for around this price as well.
Gao Feng said at this moment, "Old Fang, your price is too low. In South America, an Intermediate Beast General Silver Moon Direwolf can sell for one hundred and seventy-five million Hua Xia currency. Ours should fetch nine hundred million or even a billion without a problem, right?"
Manager Fang gave a bitter smile. "Gao Feng, don't toy with me. Nine hundred million or a billion is impossible! That's the price of a high-tier Beginner Lord monster!"
Luo Feng smiled.
In truth, they had already discussed this before coming to the HR Alliance.
If this Silver Moon Direwolf could sell for seven to eight hundred million, that would be about right. Captain Gao Feng was only saying this now to scare Manager Fang so they could bargain more easily later.
Gao Feng looked at Manager Fang and said, "Old Fang, I didn't approach anyone else this time. I came directly to you only because of our friendship. I'll name a price: eight hundred million! If not, we'll go find someone else!"
Manager Fang's eyelids twitched...
"Looks like Manager Fang can't afford that price. Let's go!"
Seeing that Manager Fang remained silent, Gao Feng turned and had Luo Feng and Luo Xia pack away the pelt, fangs, and other materials. Then he headed for the door.
"Seven hundred and fifty million. That's my limit."
Manager Fang gritted his teeth and called out to Luo Xia and the others.
Expressionless, Gao Feng waved his hand and said to Luo Xia and the others, "Let's go."
The group continued toward the door.
"Gao Feng, seven hundred and fifty million is already a good price!"
"..."
Seeing that Gao Feng still had no intention of stopping, Manager Fang was so angry that he panted for breath. He hurriedly shouted, "Come back! The price you named!"
At the doorway.
Luo Xia and the others exchanged looks and smiled.
