Only forty five thousand spirit stones? Only? ONLY?
"This beauty normally cost a leg.. You could only get this for fifty thousand spirit stones! Since you are a well respected prince, and you seems like a nice guy, i'll give you a five thousand discount!" Said George while smiling sweetly. All of them, including the prince and his three "disciples" were totally confused by his sudden change of attitude.
George then thought "How will the A.I. do in such a situation?"
Surprisingly, the A.I. answered George's call and said things like「Ding! Host could say things like you can't find such a beautiful artifacts anywhere and promised that he will be satisfied!」
George nodded in agreement. "I bet you can't find such luxurious artifacts anywhere. This car.. not only could be used as a transportation, it could creates a refreshing and cooling winds and also creates music on their own. I promise that you will be satisfied this this thing! Just remember tho, forty five thousand spirit stones and you could boast about it until you flies to another world!"
"F.. forty five thousand? Is this what they call daylight robbery?" One of his advisor frowned. He looked at his third prince and immediately advised him to not buy the car. "Third Prince, i'd advise to not buy this thing. If we search around the fire nation, maybe there will be one that's cheaper than this daylight robber!" One of the guards said. If someone had forty five thousand spirit stones, they could live comfortably without doing nothing for the rest of their life, so it's totally not a small sum of money.
George frowned when he heard that. His happy go lucky expressions that he used for the promotion instantly soured. "Fine! If you can't afford it, then scram!" As he wanted to put it back to the golden bag of holding, the prince suddenly took his hand. All of the guards's face darkened when they saw that.
George immediately grabbed his shotgun from his golden bag of holding and aimed it to him. He said coldly "What is it, my esteemed prince of the wind nation?"
George didn't expect that he just wasted a lot of credits to these trashes.
All of the guards suddenly became alert when George pointed a strange thing to their prince's head. "What are you doing to the prince?"
"Hehe.. Come at me if you dare! But, if you do that, i guarantee that your prince will be full of holes." smiled George viciously.
"Y.. you coward!" One of the guard said.
"Coward? Says all of you who surrounded us shamelessly!" He replied coldly. All of them couldn't retort it, so they only looked at George like he killed their entire family.
The prince kept his smile and said "I'll pay it! forty five thousand spirit stones right?" As a prince, his pride will be gone if he didn't buy it, as he was the one who asked him the most expensive one.
"B.. but prince-" Before one of his attendant talked, he was stopped by the prince.
George also pulled back his shotgun and stored it. All of the guards also relieved when they saw that. The prince gave him a dimensional storage ring. Inside of it, there's a lot of spirit stones. George asked the A.I. to count them all. After confirming that it was exactly forty five thousand spirit stones, he throwed the key and a guide book on how to oprate the car. After that, he drunk a potion of invisibility and wore the invisibility cloak. He didn't want to spend any more time with these fools.
When they saw that George suddenly dissapeared to a thin air, they were flabbergasted by that.
George stored the APV and throwed a splash potion of invisibility to the three kids. It looked like George and the others was a ghost that dissapeared suddenly.
Because of this incident, he know one more usefull feature of a potion of invisibility. If it you used a splash one, your clothes could also turn invisible. It was slightly logical, as if you only drink it, only the body will turn invisible. But of course the potion itself wasn't really logical in the first place.
George grabbed his three dazed "disciples" and ran off to a distance. After that, he released his Suzuki APV and once again roaming with it. There's no troublesome thing that happened this time around and they arrived to Zhenqiu relatively fast.
But of course, when they were on the way back to the Zhenqiu city, the three of his "disciples" couldn't help but to worry about earlier.
"M.. master, do you think that it was okay to do that to a prince? Y- you even almost killed him in the middle of the road!"
George smiled proudly "I never felt this badass before! Oh.. by the way, i made him pay three times of the normal price! Serves them right! Sigh.. i almost f*cked up and nearly wasted a lot of my money!"
All of their faces twitched uncontrollably. "Th.. three times? Wh.. what would happen if they know about that?"
George smiled "Of course they wouldn't know.. if you guys didn't tell him! It's their fault anyway, blocking my path, talking rudely, cuts me off when i was talking and this guy suddenly want to rob my car? Hell nah!"
The three disciples smiled awkwardly when they heard that. Of course, what George said was true.. even they were angry when those guards talked to their master like that!
...
"That guy is.. who is he? How could he threaten the third prince like that?" all of them frowned.
The third prince smiled awkwardly. "He was kinda polite in the beginning, but because of all of your paranoid and rude actions, he became angry."
"B- but.. you are a prince, and he is a normal guy."
The prince looked at the place of George before he dissapear. "I don't think that he is just any normal guy. I felt somekind of familiarity to that face." He then frowned "It could mean that.. he might be another influential person, or maybe he's also a prince.."
All of them shivered when they thought of that possibility. Seeing them acting like that, the third prince broke into laughter. "Maybe it was only my imagination.. Now, let's try this expensive thing! I almost burnt all of my money with this thing.."
When he opened the guide, he was flabbergasted by that. It was in another language that he don't know. His face twitched when he saw the book. "Wh.. what does this scriptures mean?"
He turned the page madly, but fortunately, there's a familiar language that he could read, even though it was slightly different than what he was used to know. At least some of it was still readable, if it was compared to a standard english language or other languages.
He frowned a little and begun to think that if he want to ride it, he must understand all pages of the book completely. "To think that if you want to study this thing, you need to study all kind of languages! Mmn.. It's definetly a high-tech item that only a genius would have!"
But in actuality, it was only a translation to another kind of languages, so it's probably useless to study all kind of languages. And even if he was able to study how to drive it, he still couldn't, as George didn't give him any gasoline.
Shout out to deiao for giving me the idea of George shamelessly promoting the car! XD
