Tanner raised an eyebrow and said again, "Three hundred thousand spirit crystals, that's the offer. Take them out right now! My patience is limited. If you continue to stall, I will beat you up and increase the price too!"
The ugly man had already told Tanner about the situation through the transmission array. Lourain and Fane were advancing as they fought, and the man merely followed quietly behind. However, it was hard to find cover.
If he was lucky, he would be able to observe things closely. However, most of the time, he needed to look from a distance, so the man had not witnessed all the battles. The last battle in particular seemed like a hard-fought battle for both Fane and Lourain in his eyes.
This gave the man the impression that they were only slightly stronger than an average warrior. There were so many warriors who signed up this time. Most of them were just ordinary folk. Those two were already quite strong.
The two of them had been able to work together to kill the crimson demon. However, there was no way those two could beat the four of them. There was no chance at all. If all four of them attacked together, those two would not even be able to last five seconds.
This time, the situation was different from the last. Maxcus' group was slightly stronger than those two. Furthermore, it had been an even-numbered, even-powered conflict. They had to threaten the other party's lives to get the spirit crystals earlier!
However, there was no need to struggle so much with these two. When Lourain heard what he said, Lourain sighed in exasperation, keeping his weapon right away. Maxcus' group happened to arrive nearby at that moment as well. For safety's sake, the three of them hid behind some hills.
Tanner was quickly losing his patience. He had said so much, but those two did not seem to react at all. Sometimes, the hardest thing to tolerate was being ignored. Tanner would not have been as angry if those two started to quarrel with him.
However, they did not react at all, and merely looked at him with a cold expression, as if he led a band of clowns. That calm demeanor left Tanner furious. He frowned as he stepped forward and looked at Fane coldly.
"Brat, you're challenging my patience here! I changed my mind! I want four hundred thousand! I'll only let you two off if you pay me four hundred thousand spirit crystals!"
