"Lightning!" the manager shouted in surprise, catching the attention of everyone in the room.
"Lighting?"
"Where?"
"Is it Lighting Crystal? Hey, I want it!"
A horde of people quickly surrounded Ning and the manager, pushing even Emma to the side.
"Hey young man, are you selling that?"
"Let buy it. How much do you want for it?"
"3000 Fire Essence coins. Please," another man shouted.
Ning's eyes never left the manager who started feeling overwheld by the people around her. "What do you say, manager? If you don't want to buy it, I'll leave your shop."
The manager realized that if she refused here, the custors that wanted it would be angry and most likely follow him to the other shop.
"Yes, I'll buy it. Please co with to the side," she said before turning toward the custors. "My apologies. We can't sell the Essence crystal just yet without properly grading it and fixing up a price fit for sothing so rare."
The manager turned around and left with Ning to a corner of the shop where she took the lightning crystal and looked at it with closed eyes.
"Wow," she couldn't help but say. "This really is lightning crystal. Just where did you find it?"
"Sowhere," Ning said. "It shouldn't matter where I go it from right?"
"That's true," she said.
"And you can stop that poor girl from trying to learn about and see if I have a criminal record. You won't find any," Ning said.
The managers eyes narrowed. She wasn't aware how Ning had seen through what the other girl was doing. Surely their secret signal had not been deciphered, had it?"
"I'm sorry, but we have to check it," the manager said.
"Sure, go ahead if you feel like you have to," Ning said. "I'm just trying to stop you from being disappointed as there really isn't anything that you can find there."
"Please let us be the judge of that," the manager said.
Ning shrugged and looked at his daughter who gave him a weird face.
Emma gave him a weird face before looking at the manager who simply waited. "May I ask what you are waiting for?" she asked.
"Our analyzer," the manager said. "He should be here any minute."
A few minutes later, a man walked in with a scruffy beard and a haggard clothes. Anyone that didn't know him thought that he was a holess man taht didn't know where he was.
However, seeing at the staff of the store weren't doing anything, they didn't say anything.
"What?" the man asked in an annoyed tone. "Today isn't shipnt day, is it?"
"No, but we have a new crystal. I need you to check the quality."
"On my off day? Are you mad woman?" the man said.
The manager sighed. "Please just check it," she said.
"I don't want to," the man said. "Man I was having such a nice sleep and then they knock on my door. Do you not know how delicate my senses are. I can sense a—"
The man's words paused before his eyes slowly widened to look at the crystal in front of him.
"Is that…"
"Yes," the woman said. "Now get your ass here already and analyze the quality for ."
The man no longer bickered and quickly ca up to her and started looking at the crystal. He touched the crystal and a little and did sothing to it that Ning didn't understand.
Ning looked at the process and was a little confused. 'What is he doing exactly?' he asked.
'Can these crystals not have other Essence in them?' Ning asked.
