BXBX NOVEL Chapter 90 - Grateful Joana!
Ban went inside Joana\'s store with Eva on her combat form sitting on his shoulders. Eva\'s gaze always focuses on Joana as if she was wary about something.
Joana led Ban towards her table and there, Ban could see the spine of the Hairy Boar being covered in half by a piece of cloth. Joana approached it and lifted the cloth covering it.
A white spine that was probably a meter long could be seen lying underneath that piece of cloth earlier. Ban inspected it from top to bottom and after confirming that it was indeed the complete spine of the Hairy Boar, he instantly nodded his head in satisfaction.
"20 Gold Coins, right?" He confirmed the price again. He made a deal with Joana yesterday that if he would only sell the Beast parts he acquired to her in the future, she would just sell the spine of the Hairy Boar for 20 Gold Coins, the same price she bought it.
"Yes, Mr. Leon!" Joana answered with an alluring smile which made Eva frown.
Ban nodded his head and waved his hands in mid-air and retrieved exactly 20 Gold Coins inside his Dimensional Storage Earring before handing it towards Joana.
"Wait, Mr. Leon, I\'\'l be giving that to you for free!" Joana suddenly said as she pushed back Ban\'s hand that contained the 20 Gold Coins.
Ban tilted his head in confusion as she stared directly at Joana\'s eyes. "What do you mean?"
"Mr.Leon, I\'m extremely grateful for your advice about my Hairless Cat. If you did not inform me about it, I would surely spend more than just 20 Gold Coins searching for a cure. I even think that 20 Gold Coins won\'t be enough in exchange for your advice." Joana explained with a bright smile on her face.
She really felt that way. If not for \'Leon\'s\' advice, she would still be stuck on searching for a cure for her Hairless Cat that wasn\'t sick in the first place. She would also be wasting her Gold Coins trying to commission items that don\'t help as well.
"You\'ve given me the information about the Boney Porcupine, it\'s already a fair deal."
"No, I insist. Mr. Leon. That kind of information can be obtained easily while the one you\'ve given to me in exchange wasn\'t something that was commonly seen or heard." Joana said.
"Well, if you say so!" Ban shrugged his shoulders after hearing her explanation. He also thought about it before. Information regarding a Monster\'s current state, the requirement for their evolution, are extremely rare and shouldn\'t be shared easily.
After all, information like that can only be obtained on the Book of Techniques that are only owned by powerful families or clans. He thought that this should be what the Elder Red-Panda meant earlier by saying that he should take advantage of the \'scroll\'.
Ban stored the 20 Gold Coins inside his Dimensional Storage before he faced Joana who was smiling from ear to ear. Seeing her smile, Ban could somehow imagine the happiness and the relief she felt after her Hairless Cat returned to normal after caressing it for just a single night.
"I have many available Beast parts, do you want to see them?" He said.
Joana\'s eyes lit up upon hearing that. It means a business and she especially needs business right now that her Hairless Cat is evolving. "Sure, follow me Mr. Leon!"
Joana walked towards the room where Ban chose his weapon yesterday. Joana opened the door and what was revealed inside was the huge room that contained large wooden boxes. However, unlike before, the wooden boxes already have their contents pulled out from them.
"I already displayed them and some of them were already sold as well." Joana explained after seeing \'Leon\'s\' face being directed towards the empty boxes.
Ban only nodded his head as a reply as he already somehow guessed it. After all, he saw some unfamiliar weapons displayed on the glass cases earlier so he already guessed that those weapons and armors might be from new boxes.
Joana pulled a long table and placed it in front of Ban. "Can you put all the Beast parts that you wanted to sell here, Mr. Leon?"
Ban nodded his head and immediately waved his hands to retrieve all of the Black Eye Bug parts as well as the parts of the Mad-Lust Rabbit they killed earlier.
A total of twenty four Iris, seventy two tentacles, two Mad-Lust Rabbit Kidneys and the fur of the Mad-Lust Rabbit was placed directly on the table.
Upon seeing that, Joana could not help but touched her chest and rubbed her eyes to check if she wasn\'t hallucinating. The Hairless Cat on her shoulder even licked the sweat that rolled down her neck due to her bewilderment.
She stared at \'Leon\' and could only smile wryly as she did not expect that he would bring this many parts on their \'first\' transaction. She was taken aback as this was her first time seeing someone bring this many Beast parts in one sitting. She even thought that \'Leon\' must have genocided an entire line-age of the Beast parts presented in front of her.
She wiped the sweat on her forehead as she said nervously, "What kind of Beast do this came from Mr. Leon? Aside from the Mad-Lust Rabbit, I don\'t recognize these Beast parts at all."
Ban was surprised that she did not recognize it but after thinking about it, that should be normal as Black Eye Bugs don\'t appear and attack humans as long as they are not disturbed. They would only parasite and infect trees so they don\'t often come across humans as well. However, they still need to be eradicated as they will cause more harm in the long run.
"They are from the Black Eye Bugs! Twenty four Iris and seventy two tentacles in total." Ban said.
Hearing that, Joana\'s eyes immediately lit up as she hurriedly turned around to retrieve a thick book from one of the shelves beside her receptionist table.
