"Oh, esteemed Mr. Tomb Guardian, any information is precious, and good information deserves a good reward, wouldn't you agree?"
Bakar slyly rubbed his fingers together, making his implication all too clear.
Sun Yan was immediately speechless, you're a corpse collector and you're trying to raise the price on me, don't you have any professional ethics?
"What do you want?"
But the secret of Bloody Sunday was too important for Sun Yan, so he had to ask.
"One piece of information is equal to one corpse. If you agree, Mr. Tomb Guardian, we can deduct the corresponding corpse from your graveyard after the transaction is completed. It's fair, don't you think?"
Bakar smiled cunningly, fully exposing his nature as a shrewd merchant.
For Sun Yan, information was priceless. He was more eager than anyone to learn the truth about White Sunday and Bloody Sunday.
Even if he had to suffer a bit under Bakar, it was worth it.
Just as he was about to agree, a jingling sound of bells suddenly echoed from the distant fog.
A tall, thin man draped in a worn cloak, shrouded in shadows, was slowly pulling a cart towards them.
This cart had an old-fashioned Western brass lamp at the back, its dim light barely illuminating the surrounding ground.
The moment Bakar saw this person appear, his expression immediately changed, showing extreme displeasure.
"Oh, young Mr. Tomb Guardian, I heard you need information, is that right? I can tell you for free, as long as you allow me to pick suitable corpses from your graveyard during this White Sunday,
Of course, rest assured, I will certainly give you a fair price, definitely more fair than some others." The tall, thin man said with a chuckle while lowering his head.
It was clear who he was indirectly mocking.
"Another Corpse Collector?"
Seeing this newcomer dressed so differently from Bakar, Sun Yan was a bit surprised, as it was his first time seeing another Corpse Collector.
This group was indeed too unique.
And the most surprising thing was that the other party said it was free!
This guy was willing to provide information for free, saving him from being ripped off by Bakar.
Seeing Sun Yan's expression, Bakar knew he was tempted, and his potential deal was suddenly interrupted.
This was enough to make him furious. He immediately shouted at the tall, thin man, "Kassadin, this is my pre-arranged customer!"
"But the customer also has the right to choose, don't they? They can feel who is more sincere." The man called Kassadin smiled.
Bakar quickly said to Sun Yan, "Alright, alright, esteemed Mr. Tomb Guardian, I'm also willing to share what you want to know unconditionally, so you'll still choose to do business with me, right?"
The sudden turn of events left Sun Yan stunned at first, then he couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Indeed, every industry needs competition, monopolies create juggernauts.
And juggernauts don't treat their customers as people, not only not offering any benefits but also turning formerly free services into ones requiring extra payment, making customers suffer greatly.
Like Bakar, the price-hiking shrewd merchant.
Now with another Corpse Collector, Kassadin, competing with him, he might finally wake up and realize who the real boss is.
Otherwise, some Corpse Collectors can't distinguish between a minor and major prince.
Charging for information, that's too much!
"Well then, tonight both of you can come to my graveyard to collect corpses. If you find something you like, the highest bidder wins."
Sun Yan displayed an innocent smile, nodding kindly towards the newcomer Kassadin.
You're welcome here!
Bakar's expression turned bitter; he had intended to corner Sun Yan, and the latter was about to give in.
Unexpectedly, Kassadin's sudden appearance broke the stalemate, putting him at a disadvantage.
Now turned on his head by Sun Yan, which is something no shrewd merchant likes to see.
"Thank you for your generosity, Mr. Tomb Guardian."
Kassadin sneered, setting down the cart and passing by Bakar to enter the graveyard with Sun Yan.
Bakar, having no choice, hurriedly followed them in.
If there were suitable corpses in Sun Yan's graveyard tonight, he feared he would have to pay more this time to secure them.
He understood Kassadin's nature all too well, shit!
"All the corpses are buried in the backyard of the graveyard, take a look yourselves. If you see something you like, feel free to make an offer."
Bringing the two Corpse Collectors to the backyard, Sun Yan pointed at several fresh graves.
However, Bakar and Kassadin did not inspect the graves. Instead, their eyes immediately fell on the skeleton horses Sun Yan kept in the backyard.
These were fierce beasts originating from Hell, rarely seen in the Human World.
If skeleton horses were considered as special corpses, then their value was undoubtedly high.
If Sun Yan sold them to wealthy families of old money, they could fetch billions.
After all, these creatures could shatter an ordinary person's worldview.
"Mr. Tomb Guardian, I want all three skeleton horses. I brought goods this time, and you can choose three items at will!"
Bakar said excitedly, eyeing the skeleton horses.
"Mr. Tomb Guardian, for the three skeleton horses, I'll let you pick six items."
