Lord of the Sky City

When Rocky and the others returned to the Star of the Sky, it was already quite late, yet no sooner had he returned to his room than Aileen sought him out.

Despite Rocky spending the whole day out, Aileen, who stayed behind at the Star of the Sky, was even busier than he was, having received seven or eight waves of visitors from various Chambers of Commerce throughout the day.

So, the moment Rocky came back, she hurried over to report the situation.

"My Lord, these are the price offers from the various Chambers of Commerce."

Upon seeing Rocky, Aileen handed over a pricing sheet she had compiled to him. It listed all the offers from the different Chambers of Commerce for the Black-eyed Demon and the armored bull demon corpses.

"You've worked hard..."

Giving Aileen a nod, Rocky then turned his gaze to the pricing sheet.

The pricing list Aileen had created was very detailed, with clear pricing. On the whole, the offers from the various Chambers of Commerce were not much different. Most were priced around two thousand gold coins for the body of a Black-eyed Demon, the lowest being one thousand eight hundred gold coins, and the highest only slightly more at two thousand one hundred.

Overall, the figures were quite close.

The prices that varied the most were for the armored bull demons.

Unlike the relatively cheaper Black-eyed Demons, prices stated by the Chambers of Commerce for armored bull demons all exceeded ten thousand gold coins, with the lowest bid at eleven thousand gold coins for a corpse, and the highest bid going up to sixteen thousand gold coins from the same Chamber of Commerce that had offered the lowest price for the Black-eyed Demons.

Generally speaking, these prices were within the expectations of Rocky and Aileen. If there was anything surprising, it was that the figures were better than they had anticipated. However, what puzzled Rocky was that the pricing list only included the prices for the demon corpses and omitted the prices for the Demon Cores.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

"Aileen, didn't you mention the Demon Cores to these Chambers of Commerce?"

At this, Rocky asked, puzzled.

"No."

Aileen shook her head firmly before stating, "The Chambers of Commerce that came today are all very well-informed. They had already heard about the Demon Cores, but I did not go into details with them."

"Why?"

This approach surprised Rocky since they had over two hundred Demon Cores. Even if they were all Black-eyed Demon cores, they could still fetch a price of two hundred thousand gold coins, which was a significant deal. Why would Aileen not mention it to these Chambers of Commerce?

"My Lord, I think we can wait a little longer."

"Oh?"

"There were many Chambers of Commerce that came today, but they were all relatively unknown smaller Chambers. The renowned larger Chambers have yet to make a move."

Despite being exhausted from a whole day's work, Aileen's mind was still sharp. As she pointed out, even though several Chambers had sent representatives today, their overall scale was average at best. Not one of the large and prestigious Chambers, famous throughout Eternal City and the entire Sky, had made an appearance.

"Surely the larger Chambers won't go out of their way to approach us for such a small deal, right?"

Rocky of course understood Aileen's point. Larger Chambers of Commerce guarantee more secure transactions, and compared to smaller ones, they might offer higher prices. After all, they deal in volume, and as long as the amount is significant, the price is always negotiable.

However, even with over a hundred demon corpses and two hundred Demon Cores, it might be a considerable transaction for a smaller Chamber, but for a larger Chamber, it would be just a routine trade. It seemed unlikely that they would personally seek them out for this reason.

After Rocky finished speaking, Aileen shook her head and then said, "My Lord, I thought so too at first, but today I received word from the Continental Commerce Chamber. They plan to visit you tomorrow."

"The Continental Commerce Chamber? They want to come?"

At the mention of the Continental Commerce Chamber, Rocky showed a look of surprise because this Chamber was definitely well-known. Among all the Chambers of Commerce across the expanse of the Sky, the Continental Commerce Chamber ranked comfortably within the top three, a true behemoth!

Rocky had never imagined that this trade would attract the attention of such a titan, and that they would even proactively send someone?

"My Lord, not only the Continental Commerce Chamber but the Blue Sky Chamber of Commerce and the Dalmor Chamber of Commerce have also sent representatives. They all hope to arrange a suitable time to meet with you."

"They want to come as well...?"

After Aileen finished speaking, Rocky was completely stunned because the two Chambers of Commerce that Aileen mentioned were also prominent ones in the sky, with the Blue Sky Chamber of Commerce and the Continental Commerce Chamber being peers in terms of strength, while the Dalmor Chamber of Commerce was one of the oldest, with a history that could be traced back to the Land Era.

To be honest, Rocky was somewhat scared, and he couldn't understand why these famous Chambers of Commerce would come to find him.

This was his own issue, as Rocky was still thinking from the perspective of an ordinary person; in reality, if he had thought from the perspective of a City Lord, he wouldn't have been surprised at all. Wasn't it normal for a Chamber of Commerce to discuss business with the City Lord of a Sky City?

After all, if the deal went well, it could develop into a long-term collaboration, and which Chamber of Commerce wouldn't want to add a City Lord to their list of clients?

"Additionally, there's news from the Ruby Chamber of Commerce that their Guild President will personally visit tomorrow," Aileen continued as Rocky was somewhat dazed.

Upon hearing that the Ruby Chamber of Commerce would also come, and it was the Guild President who would personally visit, Rocky smiled after a slight pause, giving the impression that the other party was also impatient to proceed.

After ceasing all transactions with the Azure Commerce Guild, Aileen found a new partnership in Eternal City with the Ruby Chamber of Commerce.

The Ruby Chamber of Commerce was a recently established Chamber of Commerce, in urgent need of a stable client like Thunderhawk City, so both sides hit it off immediately, and the several transactions that followed went very smoothly, giving Rocky a good impression of this Chamber of Commerce.

He had already anticipated that the Ruby Chamber of Commerce would send someone to find him, especially since he brought so many Demon Corpses and Demon Cores this time, and other Chambers of Commerce had caught wind of it.

Situated in Eternal City and already collaborating with Thunderhawk City, the Ruby Chamber of Commerce surely couldn't miss the news, but he hadn't expected their Guild President to personally come.

But upon further thought, this made sense. After all, the Ruby Chamber of Commerce was a new organization, not particularly strong, so it was only right they show the necessary respect if they wanted a share of the deals from Rocky. Stay updated with empire

Given the situation, Rocky sighed, "It looks like I won't be able to go out tomorrow..."

Originally, he had planned to examine the Skyship tomorrow, but it seemed he definitely wouldn't be able to go now, especially since he had to personally meet with the Guild Presidents of both the Continental Commerce Chamber and the Ruby Chamber of Commerce.

"My lord, let's wait on spending money, we haven't earned any yet," Aileen said, puffing up her cheeks in a somewhat annoyed manner, noting that Rocky looked reluctant. She had been working all day without complaining!

Seeing Aileen's puffed-up cheeks, Rocky gave an awkward smile and couldn't say much more.

The next day, Rocky didn't go anywhere and just stayed at the Star of the Sky. He didn't wait long because the Guild President of the Ruby Chamber of Commerce came in the morning.

To Rocky's surprise, the Guild President of the Ruby Chamber of Commerce was a young woman only a few years older than Aileen, which he found astonishing, yet he didn't dare take her lightly.

Despite being a newly established and small Chamber of Commerce, one should not forget that it's impossible to set up a Chamber of Commerce in a place like Eternal City without strength, background, or connections.

Therefore, Rocky treated her with the utmost respect,

The young Guild President's name was Amanred, an odd name but very talkative, making the meeting with Rocky quite pleasant.

As Rocky had thought, Amanred's primary purpose for visiting in person was to purchase some of the Demon Corpses, and if possible, she even hoped to acquire some Demon Cores and Ore, which meant she was interested in everything Rocky had brought for trade.

But she held the reins well in this matter. Amanred didn't plan to take all the Demon Corpses, Cores, or even Ores, but rather hoped Rocky would sell her a portion, considering the Ruby Chamber of Commerce was newly established and in urgent need of high-grade goods to showcase the Chamber's capabilities.

Rocky naturally didn't refuse.

As he had said before, if Maima hadn't sabotaged herself, he would have even sold a portion of the Demon Corpses to the Golden Purple Flower Commerce Chamber, so when faced with Amery's request, he not only agreed to part with twenty Black-eyed Demons and four Armored Bull Demons, along with twenty Demon Cores, but also agreed to sell all the Yellow Scale Ore to the Ruby Chamber of Commerce!

In return, Amanred offered the highest market price for the goods: each Black-eyed Demon's corpse was priced at two thousand one hundred Gold Coins, the Armored Bull Demon at the market's highest of seventeen thousand Gold Coins, and even the Demon Cores and Yellow Scale Ore were priced at the top of the market.

Beyond this, Amanred also purchased all the cloth produced by Thunderhawk City this quarter and promised Rocky that the Ruby Chamber of Commerce would buy all cloth and leather produced by Thunderhawk City in the future.

Thus, once the deal was struck, Rocky suddenly had over a hundred thousand gold coins in his hands!

The three thousand plus pounds of Yellow Scale Ore sold for the full forty thousand Gold Coins, and the twenty-four Demon Corpses sold for one hundred and ten thousand Gold Coins. Alongside the cloth, he earned another thirty thousand plus Gold Coins, bringing his total to one hundred and eighty thousand gold coins after the transaction was completed!

One hundred and eighty thousand Gold Coins!

Such a large sum of money could even allow him to immediately buy a set of Void Magic Armor for Liliya!
