"I didn't say that. What you think is your own business."
Miser replied.
Clatter!
Knowledge stood up and prepared to head outside.
"I'll be leaving tonight's gathering early. With things this dangerous now, I suggest you all meet less often for the time being, too. I'll only consider coming back if the situation stabilizes later."
Black Skeleton did not stop Knowledge, merely watching indifferently as Knowledge's retreating figure slowly disappeared through the side door.
"Does anyone else want to leave?"
He looked at the remaining four: Spirit Cat, Iron Hammer, Miser, and Spade.
After a few seconds of silence, Black Skeleton continued:
"Let's begin trading."
Iron Hammer took out another artificial [Mysterious Object], but the others showed little interest. He put it away expressionlessly and sat quietly in a daze.
Miser took out a folded sheet of paper and held it out to Chen Lun.
"This is something you're interested in, Mr. Spade... You can take a look first. This is only a small portion."
Chen Lun silently unfolded the paper and glanced at it.
[Extraordinary knowledge of the Fate Faction discovered (severely incomplete)!] [Fate Faction][Sequence 6 - Aerialist]
Secretly delighted, he folded the paper again and asked in a low voice:
"How much more do you have? I need to see it first."
"No, that would be against the rules. All I can tell you is that I have roughly a quarter of the complete version."
Miser said.
Chen Lun frowned, then asked:
"Then what do you want in exchange?"
"Two [Class C Mysterious Objects] and one portion of Middle Sequence mystical substance."
Miser said.
"I don't have that much on hand right now. I'll come to you for the trade once I'm ready."
Chen Lun spoke in a hoarse voice and handed back the folded paper.
