Rebirth: Supreme Soul Master

The merchant sold each core for at least double the price, and he made at least 250,000 more crystals just from the price difference of the cores.

William didn't think too much about it. The businessman had been given an opportunity, and he had every right to make the most of it.

William was convinced that if merchants acted greedily and waited longer to get better prices, it would have the opposite effect on him.

The prices of these core components are destined to fall in the coming days.

For William, the important thing was that he had obtained all the items he needed. He had acquired a large amount of spirit crystals, requiring little time or effort, and he didn't need to worry about anything.

The first thing he did upon returning was to check on the two girls. "It will take some time." After checking, he closed the door, prepared his own meal, and began to eat lunch.

The sun was about to begin its journey to sunset, leaving this world to welcome the arrival of night, so it decided to take a nap first.

After sleeping for a few hours, he began to examine his gains from the market in his study. He took out various items and began to organize the contents of his different storage rings.

“That kid from Golden Sky Academy really loves potions.” William found at least a thousand different potions in the rings he collected from that kid.

Besides the potions, he also discovered a large number of bronze and white-grade equipment and weapons, as well as a large amount of materials and the spirit crystals left behind by the kid.

William added all the spirit crystals he possessed to a ring he had obtained from the dead child. He also placed the potions beside them.

As for materials such as ores, herbs, and even monster materials, he kept them all in a ring, a gift he received from the Dragon Clan.

He put the demon core and spirit crystal he had obtained from the Long clan together.

The last ring was one he received from the merchant; William had kept all the weapons and equipment he had obtained from the merchant or from the dead child inside it.

“Everything is settled,” William said, now free to proceed to the next step. “It’s time to draw the array, and then…”

By the time he finished, it was nearly midnight. He had spent most of his time organizing the large amount of materials he had obtained from the market or from the rings of the Golden Heaven disciples.

Just before he could begin working on his next task, he was startled by a loud knocking on the door.

"Oh, you're back!" William opened the door, and a familiar face came into view.

“How can I get a break when you’re creating chaos and problems everywhere?” Berry began to complain as soon as she saw his face.

"What? I didn't do anything!" William closed the door after confirming that Luther was not outside.

“Hmph! That’s what the person who set the whole academy on fire said!” Berry sat in his seat, facing William, who looked confused and puzzled.

“What do you mean? I didn’t set anything on fire!” William found a seat and sat opposite her. “I don’t like fire, unlike you who possesses fire elemental power.”

“Funny.” She stuck out her tongue, and despite her best efforts to resist, a faint smile appeared on her face, while William began to ponder what she had just said.

The first thing that flashed through his mind was what he had done at the Spal Arena. He hoped the news would reach the principal's ears, not Berry like this.

"Come on! The whole academy is talking about what you've done! And you don't know? How stupid!"

“…” William didn’t speak, but simply put on a neutral mask so Berry couldn’t see anything.

"Tch! Who told you to give me the crystal cores my grandfather awarded to the team? Do you know how angry my grandfather was?"

She finally spoke her mind, and William breathed a sigh of relief. However, the next moment, he realized something else.

“Is he angry?!” William thought that once he heard about the transactions in the market, he would provoke the stubborn old man’s anger.

However, the old man seemed excited even before he went to the market. This relieved him, as he knew he was lucky to have acted quickly and made such a deal before the core price plummeted.

“That poor businessman… I hope he doesn’t save the core for tomorrow, otherwise…”

“Yes! He never wanted you to use these cores! I was right next to him when he heard the news, and I'm telling you… he was furious about it.”

“Get him!” That was the answer William wanted to say on the spot, but he kept it to himself. “They’re mine. Why is he angry about what I did to them?” That was his milder version of the answer. However, this only made Berry more anxious than relieved.

“He said you gave him a different reason to get them. That’s why he plans to flood the market with these cores in the coming days.”

"Let him do what he wants." William had already gotten what he wanted from these cores. And starting tomorrow, he would be leaving this place. Therefore, trying to use these cores to dominate the market wouldn't do him much harm.

“You…you already know about this?!” Berry could tell from William’s calm expression and tone that he wasn’t surprised by what she said.

This means he was already aware of this.
