Jason looked at the envy of Adam who was now showing a wide smile. Adam had failed to auction off his belongings. However, the man actually gets cooperation with greater benefits.
All the items Adam brought were bought directly by Duke Arnold's auction house. The auction house even still ordered quite a lot of stuff from Adam, especially the makeup and perfumery equipment that Adam had just brought.
From the sale of the goods he brought, Adam managed to pocket a hundred thousand Kyra gold. Not to mention the down payment for the order of fifty thousand Kyra gold. The money that Adam made was a lot. Adam's income is equivalent to the great merchants in Vredeburg City.
"Why do you keep looking at me like that, Jason? Is there something wrong with my face?"
"No. I'm just jealous of you. Being a trader looks very easy and earns huge profits. If only I had a large capital like you, then my life would be much more comfortable, quiet" Jason said honestly.
"Dad? Why are you jealous of me? I'm the one that envies you, Jason. You have a very good magic ability. I wish I could be as strong as you to protect myself. But I don't have that ability at all. I have learned magic. Up until now, the amount I collected was not very large" Adam replied.
Although Adam did not see Jason fight directly, but he was sure the man had great magic power. Could be the city guards already answered all that.
"I'm not that strong, Mr. Adam. If I'm great, then I won't be a city guard. Then, the salary of a city guard was not too great. One month I only got five low-tier mana stones. That's the equivalent of five thousand Kyra gold a month" Jason explained.
"The new city guards could earn a huge salary if there was a war. But at the moment, it is very safe. There's no war at all" Jason added.
Kyra's five thousand gold is big enough for someone as unmarried as Jason. However, his life needs are quite large. Not only that, as a battle mage, Jason needed quite a lot of potions to support strengthening himself. And it's not cheap.
"Look at you. You always bring home tens of thousands of Kyra's gold when it comes to Red Stone City. Then, now you get one hundred and fifty thousand Kyra gold. That's equivalent to thirty months of my salary" Jason explained.
"But that is gross income. Not a net profit. The amount of money I'm getting isn't much different than your income, Jason, '" said Adam.
Of course, Adam's words are not true. The profit he got when selling in the Guerio Continent was always above ninety percent.
"Hem, what if you stopped working as a city guard and chose to work as my personal bodyguard? I'll give you a salary of ten thousand gold Kyra. How about that?" ask Adam.
From Adam's observation during his interaction with Jason, he was able to judge that the man was a good person. When he saw that Adam had earned a lot of money, Jason looked envious. However, Adam did not see any different gaze from Jason.
The man had no intention of robbing Adam. In fact, he had a pretty big money chance to do just that.
"Ten thousand gold Kyra? Are you sure you'll give me that much money? I'm not a great batle mage. There's still something even better. Why should I?" jason asked to be sure.
"Hows it? Do you want to work for me?" ask Adam.
"Of course I want to. I don't want to miss this precious opportunity. Being a city guard long enough to wait for a raise. Of course I want to" Jason said excitedly.
Adam smiled happily at Jason. Now, he did not need to worry too much when traveling in the Guerio Continent. Jason's gonna protect her. This made Adam think of looking for bodyguards as well from the Blue Planet.
Its biggest enemies are the people of the Blue Planet. Her uncle and aunt definitely did not stay silent after they found out that Chess was now working on her. If they did a little research, then his uncle and aunt would know that the present Adam was not like the old Adam.
"I need to find a bodyguard immediately. More is better. I also need to send someone to keep Rani at a distance" Adam muttered.
Geck, tok, tok.
The sound of a wooden hammer knocking made Adam and Jason stop their chatter. The two then looked towards the stage where a man wearing a neat suit stood there. Adam immediately raised his eyebrows looking at this. He had not expected the auction leader in this room to wear such a suit.
Adam felt he had never sold this suit to Duke Arnold's auction house. He also did not leave this suit to the Merchant Guild. Most likely, this suit was lent by one of the nobles in Res Stone City. Or maybe their suits were bought by this auction house.
Although the atmosphere was not as noisy as before, Adam still heard small whispers from other auction participants. They were heard talking about the clothes worn by the auction leader.
"Honored Master and Madam. I'm Bucho, the auction leader this time. You must be wondering why my clothes are so different from the clothes I used to wear. These are the garments sold by Mr. Adam, the merchant of a distant land."
"Now, this Vredeburg Auction House will be the official seller of the goods from Mr. Adam. If you want to see other unique items, you can go to the third floor to see items from a distant country, which we sell," said Bucho.
The whispers around Adam sounded even more intense than before. They were already impatient to get out of this auction room, to see the items from the distant land, which were sold on the third floor.
The clothes and some simple items sold in the Merchant Guild alone already looked very attractive. If this Vredeburg auction house had a complete collection, then they could find even more unique items.
"Now, let's start the auction this time," Bucho said.
Those who had previously intended to leave, were forced to abandon their intentions. The auction this time was more important than looking at the items on the third floor they only wished the items sold there had not run out when they came.
