The Mighty Mage novel Chapter 173

Chapter 173: Chapter 173: 30% Commission

Gu Jin looked at the two brothers, her eyes sparkling with mischief.

"Gentlemen, gentlemen," Gu Jin interjected with a smirk. "Let’s not get ahead of ourselves. I haven’t even agreed to sell yet."

Both brothers paused, their competitive fire momentarily extinguished by her words.

"What’s the catch?" Long Yeiling asked, suspicion lacing his voice.

Gu Jin leaned closer to the screen, her red eyes gleaming with amusement,

"That is pretty simple. Whoever gives the highest bid wins!"

Long Yeiling nodded. It was simple for him.

As long as he could buy those Zerg Bllacky for under 5 billion yuan, not only he could make a profit he could also make Long Yifan envious!

Who knows maybe Long Yifan would even cry due to the anger!

Long Yifan seemed to suddenly understand something and stared at Gu Jin deeply.

Gu Jin winked at him.

Since Long Yeiling was staring at Long Yifan’s furious face, he missed the small interaction between them!

Lon Yifan was confused. _{fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm}

Did Gu Jin just now wink at him? Why?

But why?

Gu Jin suddenly asked,

"Mr. Long Yifan I am sorry, I can’t sell the precious Zerg Blacky stones that ’you’ want since you don’t have enough money to buy them.

You can’t blame Mr. Long Yifan, I am just a middle-man, I only get 30% profit from the money I am making. The higher price I sell it for the more I will earn."

Long Yifan’s eyes brightened.

Suddenly he understood what Gu Jin meant.

Gu Jin was asking to be a middleman and keep on raising the price. If he did so, she would give me 30% of the profit.

What a smart girl!

Long Yifan couldn’t help but become amused.

But at the same time, he was filled with pride.

"I will give you 3.5 billion!" Long Yifan shouted.

His tone was filled with desperation as if he truly wanted to buy the stone.

Long Yeiling was delighted to see Long Yifan anxious and announced,

"4 billion!"

Gu Jin sighed like an old man and praised him,

"Mr. Long Yeiling, you are indeed a nobleman! You are not like some beggars who pretend to be rich!"

Long Yifan’s face darkened at the subtle jab, but he quickly recovered, playing along with Gu Jin’s game. He understood that the more they bid, the more profit Gu Jin would earn.

"4.5 billion!" Long Yifan shouted, feigning even greater desperation.

Long Yeiling’s eyes gleamed with excitement. He could sense victory within his grasp, especially with his brother acting so erratically.

"5 billion!" Long Yeiling countered confidently, throwing a smug glance at his brother.

Gu Jin smiled, enjoying the tension between the two brothers. She knew this was the moment to push them further.

"Mr. Long Yeiling," Gu Jin said in a sugary tone,

"I must say, you are indeed very generous. However, I think Mr. Long Yifan might still have something up his sleeve."

Long Yifan, catching onto the cue, forced a look of bitter frustration.

"I... I don’t have more than 5 billion at the moment," he stammered, sounding defeated.

Long Yeiling grinned triumphantly. "Looks like I win, then. 5 billion it is!"

Gu Jin clapped her hands together, her eyes sparkling with mock enthusiasm.

"Congratulations, Mr. Long Yeiling! You’ve secured the Zerg Blacky stones. I’ll arrange for the transfer details."

Long Yifan put on his best-defeated look, but inside he was filled with anticipation.

Gu Jin had managed to drive the price up significantly, ensuring that their cut would be substantial.

Long Yifan accepted that he was thrilled at the idea of his big brother getting scammed.

Last time Gu Jin sold him two Zerg Blacky stones for 1.7 billion while Gu Jin was selling those Zerg Blacky stones to Long Yeiling for 5 billion.

But...

Long Yifan stared at the Zerg Blacky with pity in his eyes.

They were too precious.

Even if Long Yeiling had suffered, he did get a treasure, after all...

After completing the transaction, Long Yeiling told her the shipping details and left after seeing Long Yifan’s dark face.

To say Long Yeiling was not satisfied seeing Long Yifan’s dark expression would be a lie.

Once Long Yeiling left, Long Yifan created a barrier around himself and looked at Gu Jin with displeasure in his eyes.

"Why did you sell him those Zerg Blacky stones?"

Gu Jin rolled her eyes and said,
