" There is a chalice in your possession that you have aquired at a recent auction , is an artifact that our organization is extremely interested in " the little girl said.

  Rudra had two options here , one to politely decline their request saying he needed more time to think about it.?While going to the church to handover the chalice and exchange for some rewards.

  Option two was to play hardball with the Two NPC here and squeeze them dry for everything they want to offer in exchange for the chalice.

  Rudra initially only had plan A and B however seeing the frown on face of the big guy here , Rudra was pissed off , he thought ' F*** the plan A and B , its time for plan C '.

  Rudra instantly shifted to mastermind Shakuni mindset as he started to lay his trap . " Please , let us introduce ourselves before conducting buisness , i think that is basic courtsey …… I will go first , i am Shakuni , the guildmaster of this guild". He said with a amiable smile.

  The pair looked at each other , contemplating for a while before the burly man said " Garry".

  Rudra nodded , " Hello , Gary ".

  The little girl introduced herself then " Megan ".

  Rudra smiled saying " hey megan , soo what organization are you from ? ".

  Megan looked bothered with that question , but she tactfully said " we are buisnessmen. Here for a transaction ".

  Rudra was internally happy at this response . A trade was indeed what he desired currently . Rudra signalled the maid to call in Amelia .

  When Amelia entered the room , Rudra went with her to a corner , whispering instructions into her ear , as he requested that the chalice be brought in the room.

  A few minutes later a maid came in with the chalice , after placing it on the table she quickly made herself scarce , going to a corner of the room.

  " Soo , you want this item? ". Rudra said, fidgeting with the item.

  Gary nodded,?He had a smug look on his face.

  He beleived that as Rudra had called for the item. He was interested in selling it for a good price. Knowing that there was no way the tier one adventurer could know about the secrets of the chalice , he was sure it was going to be cheap to buy.

  " You say you have came for a transaction. I assume then you have something of equal value to trade ". Rudra said.

  Megan took the lead in the conversation she said " you have bought it in the auction for 10 million gold , how about i make it 50 million gold to buy the item back! ".

  Megan was quite confident with her offer , any reasonable human should have had incredulous expressions on their face , at the mention of such a huge chunk of money, however Rudra remained unmobed.

  Rudra eventually said " that is an underwhelming offer for a semi legendary purification equipment , dont you think soo miss megan?".

  Both Gary and Megan's eyes widened at the question.?How was he aware of the chalice s identity.?There were hardly any people on the entire continent who could pull this feat off.

  Megan quickly understood that the asking price has just went astronomically up. However the item was too important for her organization to give up. She needed to make a deal here.?No matter the cost.

  Megan frowned as she asked " what do you want ? ".

  Rudra smiled.?He was a sly sly fox when it cames to ripping people off , he said " You want my goldmine , its natural you must offer another goldmine?in return ".

  Megans worries deepened , she knew that ordinary treasures were no longer sufficient to satisfy Rudra's hunger.

  " The organization owns 3 gold and two platinum mines , you can have your pick of two locations , they will be transferred in your name ".?Megan said, pulling out a map , marked with the location of the mines.

  Honestly speaking , Rudra used the goldmine line as a metaphor , however being offered real gold mines for an item , Rudra was completely over the moon .

  He chose the biggest gold and platinum mines as a compensation , whereas Megan came up with a agreement form , that surrendered the chalice upon the transfer of the mines.

  Both parties signed the agreement after reading it thoroughly , as Rudra quickly became owner of two mines.

  He was over the moon as a system notification explained the current situation of the two mines……

  The gold mine pumped nearly 200 thousand gold daily !

  Whereas the platinum mine produced 50 platinum daily.

  The overall sum was an amazing amount and Rudra was very pleased…… Following which he handed over the chalice to the duo , as they started to depart once the deal was done.

  However after exiting the guild hall , in a narrow corridor.?The duo found themseleves between 50 people from the church of light.

  They were completely surrounded and upon Turning around they saw a evily smiling Rudra .

  Gary and Megan both immediately understood that this was all Rudra's ploy and that they had played right into his hands.

  Gary was furious as he tried to charge towards Rudra angrily , however under a bombardment of debuffs and movement restricting spells he was frozen in his place.

  Cardinal Lee stepped forward as he made a polite bow towards Rudra …… He said " we shall handle the heretics now".

  Rudra bowed politely towards the cardinal , who took the duo away.?The insults that the duo hurled filled the usually quiet True Elites Headquarters .

  They gave Rudra quite the innovative curses , however Rudra thoroughly enjoyed it. He would soon visit the Church to milk them for even more rewards , his plan was progressing smoothly , he was happy.
