An Extra’s POV

'H-how…?!'

How possible was this? He had to be dreaming!

Aldred went to open even more sacs, and he was greeted with the same result every time.

His eyes had been trained from a very young age to detect the quality and quantity of items just from a glance.

As a result, he could accurately guess the Grade of Monster Cores without even using an appraising tool.

'They're authentic too!'

Aldred could spot fake products a mile away, but this… this was genuine!

He could even feel the Mana that pulsated within each Core.

'How does he have so many? This is just too—!'

"There's more where that came from." As soon as the words of the man echoed in Aldred's ears, his eyes bulged.

'WHAT?!"

"Here are fifty sacs of Grade 6 Monster Cores. You can confirm their authenticity for yourselves. Each sac contains a little over 300 pieces…"

The more the seller spoke, the more unreal it all sounded.

"That's over 16,000 pieces you have there. Feel free to count."

'Ridiculous!' Aldred would have had such thoughts if he wasn't currently staring at the proof.

'Who is this man?! He defies everything I've been taught… everything I've learned!'

Aldred felt as though all of his experience as an expert were nothing in the presence of the man before him.

'Did he do all of this intentionally? Is he messing with me? Did he…?!'

Aldred did not know for sure.

All he knew was that he had been wrong.

'He has value! More value than all of our present customers!'

On an individual level, this seller was far superior to their best client.

'He says he has even more? What kind of…? No, I should stop now!'

Aldred tried to recover from his shock and focus on the matter at hand.

He had to think about what was best for the business.
